These are a fun listen so far. Plenty of bass. I don’t know if I’d want more lol.

I mean if you are a acoustic/vocal fan these are excellent.
Great news - Hidizs were quick about getting back, and can ship a replacement screen to the UK (where I’ll be soon) for a total cost of $26. I paid $34 for the player, so sure if enough if all goes well that’s a $60 AP80 which I think is a reasonable price to function ratio! I would be treating it as an ES100 that also has a screen and storage.
I haven’t actually received the broken unit yet, it was described as blurry and with lines - for all I know it’s usable to begin with.

Ordered the Dunu Vulcan. Early reviews seem to be a mixed bag. Here’s to my fingers crossed that it’ll be worth it. If not there may a be lucky buyer able to pick one up a good used price in the near future.

hello it’s me again. i bought the choice leather pads despite the fact that i already have the elite hybrids.
to keep things short and simple, i favor the choice leather more than the elite hybrids. to my ears, everything from sub-bass to the mids sound very similar; the only difference between the two are the highs. the elite hybrids are kinda painful to listen to, almost as if they have a treble peak. in comparison, the choice hybrids have a smoother treble presence.
Song I tested:
the airy percussion + female vocals became fatiguing when i listened with the elite hybrids. the choice hybrids on the other hand were smooth sailing from beginning to end.

From Dekoni’s website:
I’m not sure how the highs are so amicable to my ears, but if I had to be relative, I would say they sound like the highs from the Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin; those highs perplex me because they are intense yet non-fatiguing for me, and I consider myself treble sensitive. I have a feeling it has something to do with the pores letting the treble disperse, or it could be the devil. At times, I feel like the Elite Fenestrated turn my Tygrs into a mid-forward headphone considering how intense, yet non-fatiguing they can sound.
Another thing to consider for Elite Fenestrated is that it doesn’t have much sub-bass oomph, and yet the Choice Hybrids do. If I had to be relative yet again, I’d say the oomph DNA comes from the Choice Suede pads, except the Choice Hybrids sound cleaner in the highs. What I mean by that is the Choice Suede pads make my Tygrs sound warm, or perhaps too muddy depending on the song.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the Choice Leathers to make note of its sonic qualities. I can say with confidence, however, that the Choice Hybrids combine the strong points of Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin (non-fatiguing highs + mid-forward?), and the Choice Suede (fun, dirty bass) to make a monster of a tuner pad.

a couple big mouse pads and a extended gripper arm, see if that helps me with my sciatica issues.
