New Head-Fier
For Tangzu x HBB Xuan NV in In-Ear
Pros: One of HBB’s “best collab” in terms of overall sound! (personal take, subjective)

A well-tuned, neutral-warm sounding IEM!

Well, controlled, punchy, bass quality.

Lush, smooth, thick mids.

Non-fatiguing upper frequencies.

Very good technical performance for its price, particularly on layering and imaging.

Beautiful, visually-pleasing, vibrant IEM shells!

Very good comfort, fit and isolation!

No “driver flex” unlike some resin-based IEMs! (I appreciate this a lot)

Very good included accessories in terms of quality!

Scales well with a fairly powerful source.
Cons: Despite having a very good technical performance in my book, this isn’t the IEM you may want to look at first if you are looking for a highly-technical IEM under 100 USD.

A bit harder to drive properly than usual; has the same volume needed of the HBB Hades using the same setup.

Shell can be a bit chunky to smaller ears.

Cable is not “up to par” in terms of overall material quality for its asking price.

They did include a pouch, but a hard case would’ve been nice since this is a resin-based IEM (definitely a nitpick)

@Ichos Hey, great review! I’ve been using Q15 for two months, and I must say it truly excels in almost everything. You can’t neglect its portability and versatility. The design and build quality is awesome. Desktop mode is also a game changer for anyone who wants to maximize its power.

My only gripe regarding Q15 is software, which is currently behind KA17 in terms of EQ functionality and has potential to brick due to firmware update failure (it happened to my previous unit).

Can it be compared to mojo 2? Is it better?
Ichos
Ichos
The Mojo 2 is maybe a little more transparent with a touch better resolution? Honestly they are very close in sound signature. I don't think that the Mojo 2 justifies the price difference. Of course, it is more portable and has the embedded Equalizer and crossfeed that don't need an app.

Headphoneus Supremus
For Rose Technics QT-X in Universal Fit
Pros: Weighty mid-centric tuning
Voluminous sub bass
Easy to power and reach full potential
Well-accessorized
Smaller size for the amount of drivers utilized
True 'all-rounder'; from price to packaging to sound
Cons: While it has good treble extension, it lacks weight in higher frequency range
Mid-bass lacks punch and slam
Long nozzles caused fit issues - a con for me, not necessarily for everyone
Confusing branding/Value vs Deluxe

Overview​

The Rose Technics QT-X is a hybrid IEM, consisting of 1 x 10mm Tesla Coil DD and 6 BAs - 2 low/2 mid/2 high configuration. Tuning is vocals and mids focused, with a...

New Head-Fier
For Intona 7055-C USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Isolator in Computer Audio
Pros: - compact size, easy to use, includes USB A-B cable with industrial protection, it works!
Cons: - you could talk about price, but then again it's half the price of other Digital-to-Digital Converters with galvanic isolation.
- just a single USB Out port (if you own multiple DACs it might be a problem, otherwise no)
I am very excited to write about Intona 7055-C model as after years of trying multiple devices who promised to clean my USB signal i finally got one that does like no other!

I also own this, was such a nice investment for my Chord Hugo2 portable.

I can even implement a midbass pEQ boost (on windows).....and now I not only get a bass boost.....but a punchy/slammy bass boost!

Nice to hear this! The improvement is huge, especially on my system, it cleans all the noises and the signal goes unaltered into the DAC.

Completely agree with the sound analysis and fit issues with universal model. Hence switched to customs and have no fit issues.

I think for the SE (and likely Grand Maestro), the CIEM route really would alleviate and make these complete end game. If I was ever to go with customs, I'm all in with Fatfreq's line up.
