Dunu da Vinci
theintention
Headphoneus Supremus
- 634ears LOAK2-TiCL; very much cannot stop checking my emails for shipping notice any day.
- Hiby R4; bit concerned with the massive amount of QC issues hitting the forums today lmaooo. Will be saving money for a higher end player if mine is affected and skipping the budget section altogether.
- not ordered but Pilgrim noir has my interest. I would like to add another high end cable to my collection after my Vortex purchase… 2 in 1 with Noir sounds good.
Lesson learned about modular terminations and cheaper cables, been listening to them a lot this week and they kinda just suck lol. I’ll be sticking with fixed 4.4 terminations from now on.
You will want to look at their newer releases for that, though graphs are hard to come by for this brand in general.
Rentless is a fun V.
Aful explorer is a special set. I’m kinda in love atm. Like depends on what you want it might be their best.
For me the Simgot Supermix4, Noire as well, and Dunu Davinci.
Forgot Da Vinci, got offered a review discount a month ago.
But haven't heard anymore meanwhile, can be they got flooded with folks who want to review both Dunu and Timmy is quite popular.

Aur Audio Aure vs TRN ST7
So I went into this one excited, due to my really adoring the sound signature and technicalities of the ST7 ($25-30.00/5 BA 2 DD) and my love of the Aure ($450.00 (discontinued)/6 BA 1 DD). Well....
This was not much of a contest to be honest. II'll be looking to pit the Hydro against the Aure's, because when it came to most aspects, the Aure was superior to the ST7.
Treble : Aure > ST7 : Better extension, air, resolution, and similar timbre.
Mids : Aure >> ST7 : The mids game wasn't even close. The mids are forward, have more bite, and male and female vocals are more forward. By comparison, the ST7 vocals sound much more distant. Guitars and keyboards have more "presence", but the ST7 has a tad more "warmth".
Bass : ST7 = Aure : While the Aures have slightly more resolution and slam, the ST7 has a more elastic and punchier bass that mioght actually be a tad quicker.
Soundstage and imaging : Aure >> ST7 : Here I thought the special sauce of the ST7 is the orbital stage with great imaging, but when listened to side by side, the Aure's make the ST7 sound downright intimate. The biggest difference is the spatial superiority of the Aures. There's more transparency, more space between instruments, and wider left/right imaging. Depth is similar back to front, but Aure is taller.
Detail retrieval : Aure > ST7 : Here's where we get as close to even as we did with the bass. I think with the more forward mids, and the better extension up top, the Aure seems to have more details, but I hear details in the same songs coming through about even steven.
3-1-1 Aure, but it's not really as close as it seems, though tbh, there's something about the presentation of the ST7 that I absolutely love, and I find myself reaching for them more than the Aures, and a lot of it has to do with fit. The ST7 are much smaller, and in turn, much more comfy to wear than the Aures.
So in summation, though the $440 paid seems to be justified in the performance ratio for the Aures, it's amazing the technical prowess, performance, and comfort i'm getting from a $25 set. The gap is closing fast. Rejoice misers and worker bees!

500+ Head-Fier
Im using the zoom lens mode of my phoneThis photo does not show how small the box actually isAful squeezed every piece of budget out for the IEM, I think
All aboard the Aful hype train
Aful is right to delay the Cantor. They need to ensure that they can top this humble 3 driver IEM.
Yeah the Cantor was overly bright and fatiguing at the Can Jam Singapore booth, good that they are retuning it.

Waiting for or excited about?
The four incoming KZ/CCA iems + Simgot Supermix 4. Something tells me it'll be more up my alley that the Kiwi Ears Quintet.

Aful Explorer (hype train is fogging Hydro)
634ears flagship (if it varies/improves significantly from Miroak-ii -- Basically, you will be deciding for me, no pressure!). Else Cantor or Volare to sample EST sound.
The next new 30 dollar KZ that gets noted in this thread, whatever that maybe! (As I dig both the warm Trio and trebly kz10 pro2)
The Symphonium Titan is an IEM you must experience if you get the opportunity. I don't own it, but I had the chance to listen to it, and it was truly exceptional.

This one is on my short list as well, actually.

Previously known as sakt1moko
-SA6 THE ORIGINAL MK1. Best Neutral BA Ive try, excellent technical performance, lacks on musicality.
- VARIATIONS. Best sub400. Clean subbass, excellent uppermid timbre, excepcional on technicalities, good all-rounder. Not good on QC
- ie600. Good fit, bad price/performance ratio
- FiiO FH9. If you look for armonics on wikipedia, a photo of this iem is on the main page. A little bit neutral, good and soft bass.
- FiiO FX15. A little bit expensive for the technical performance. Dissapointing.
- MANGIRD TOP. A Fun Variations.
I've got some reviews of this iems here on headfi, feel free to check them out.
