Agreed! Im very tempted to take the jump…
this isnt a product Im going to be an early adopter of though. issues are bound to happen with wireless products especially if this is the first from a company of this sort. will wait it out a bit and grab it when its on massdrop for the early bird price if its a good product. cause god knows I don’t need any more iems

The XA-10 reminds me a whole lot of the SMSL SAP-1
The Xduooo looks to have a lot more features built in though.

Zeos got his review out… Only five minutes in, and it is obvious that he does NOT like these…

Yeah the technical issues alone are enought for me to pass on these
I’m sorry, I see “illumination” and I can’t help but hear a minion jumping around screaming “Illumination! Illumination!”

Yeah not a fan of illumination as a studio either
I suspect they wanted you to think they’re so good that they will illuminate you with the music listened to.

They wanted to ensure you that you can use the paint job as a weapon to blind anyone who might try to steal your new iems! They also serve as a way to bask your collection in a golden aura for the photo you’ve always wanted with your gear.

Supposed to be releasing the shp9600 and Fidelio X3 at some point. Still waiting on them. Also waiting to see that new Moondrop Headphone thats coming out see how it does. Alongside, I am curious if Meze is going to release a budget friendly Planar since the empyrean came out as their flagship. Also some rumors floating about on another Verum headphone

For those fans of Final Fantasy VII, Square Enix is taking pre-orders of the physical copies of the OST in a standard edition and a special edit (extra CD with additional content for ~$3 more, but is only first run). Or, it is up for sale on iTunes
, Google Play, or Amazoon.

Decent super budget DAC/Amp get an upgrade without much of a boost in price?

That’s a really solid entry-level option if they fixed that output impedance.

Not something I would count on powering really hard to drive headphones, but provided they have, I would definitely agree. Not a bad place to start out, particularly if you are on a strict tight budget.
