Rumors and new releases thread

The freesbee exterior combined with the relative short nozzle didn’t fit me very well. I like deep insertion in my canal ( :underage: ), and timeless didn’t really allow for such a thing. That’s partly why I didn’t like it that much.

I never had problems with the timeless fitting

did you try different tips? I can’t use spinfits with most IEM’s because they go too deep

I laughed way too hard at this… :joy: big no from me

Oh yeah I tried different tips: cp100, cp145, type E, azla Sedna, xelastec, crystal, the 3 default tips…

At that time, I focused more on sound, though.

I settled a moment on inserted kz’s starline, and then put some azla, before moving on to bgvp E01.

My problem is the fit never felt… Good to me. It wasn’t uncomfortable and I got a seal, but I don’t know, I didn’t like having a vynil disc in my ears.

Here not only the shadow, but the choice of colours doesn’t fit me.

And that better like this: it will be an easier pass for me… Even though I know myself: if the reviews are good… I want to believe in planars for iems as I love my he400SE. The timeless’ Sig was too v-shaped for me so I have to wait for colder models.

Kinera Gramr modular MMCX/0.78mm IEM cable with boom stick microphone for gamers/office work.
I mean that is quite cool if you ask me, R/N I am having cheap KZ CRN with in-line mic just because of the fact I hate cable swapping constantly with my higher end sets (proning risk to the socket/cable) and headphones are boiling my ears. That would give me a space for yet another pair of IEMs in collection :smiley:

You know what, I like this. I like it a lot.

Idk how much it will cost, but it looks like a unique solution that serves its purpose.

New Hiby RS series DAP apparently. Wish it was something like R4 or new R3 though (or anything <500$), but that may be a response to Shanling M6 Ultra.

There is also 300$ Tempotec Variations V6 DAP (quad AKM DAC, SD425, 2gb RAM, Android 8.1) Kickstarter that is about to start soon

Do we know when?
Have the Null Audio Ethos MKIII in the basket but this looks better.

Looks like the Hiby FC4 isn’t so powerful after all…
I already suspected that the 340mW in such a small dongle are at 10% distortion

That’s such a terrible name. It took me like a minute to figure that they weren’t coming out with the third in a line of earphones.

Hopes for budget DAP (R2R?) are quite high! Hobby RS2, small screen, simple form factor, low number, probably no android!

Actually quite interested to see what this thing is all about. The RS6 was so good. Only sold it because I didn’t go portable enough to justify the level that thing was at. This may be a really nice middle ground
