People keep disturbing her in her sand castle....

Superboi leaves midway.....

Absolutely brilliant & long listening session with these today....didn't expect them to be mellow...pleasantly surprised.

1. Final s4000 iems

2. Shanling UA7 & the free dongle dac that you get with the meza alba

3. Playlist mostly focused on midrange and vocals (amber rubarth, ritviz, nucleya etc)

4. Warm

5. Mellow treble

6. Ultra clear imaging

This is the copy paste response one gets when they've been a decade long regular customer...when you send something in for the first time under a warranty process.

This is about a pair of truthear pure earbuds which have only been used a handful of times (in pristing condition) and have developed a channel imbalance in the warranty period.

On the first email i got this morning I was told that they need time to even check whether they have the unit which was delivered yesterday morning? I mean if the policy is to 'go slow', just say it out loud, don't have to send me copy paste emails.

I'm guessing only people who highlight it here or on other forums will get redressal? So here it is....this is the 'in warranty' experience of a long term customer. Back and forth emails and copy paste messages.

I've always loved single dynamic IEMs. Ten years ago, when I got into the hobby, most of the single DDs you came across were from brands like Campfire Audio, Sony or Shure. Basically, the established international brands. And even their entry-level stuff wasn't exactly cheap.

Things have changed massively since then. The hobby has become much more accessible, and a big part of that is the sheer number of affordable IEMs coming out of China. Now we're seeing things like beryllium-coated and DLC (diamond-like carbon) coated drivers in IEMs around ₹3–4K. That kind of technology simply wasn't available at these prices back then.

Cheap DACs and the explosion of affordable IEMs have obviously helped bring a lot more people into the hobby. But I'm really just thinking about single DDs.

They're coherent, usually warm and lush, and the treble is, more often than not, pretty well behaved. There are exceptions — the Final A6000, for example, can be seriously spicy up top.

But here's the thing: give me a really well-tuned single DD and I can quite easily prefer it to a much more expensive hybrid. More drivers don't automatically mean better music.

And let's be honest, the majority of IEMs out there are still single dynamics. There's probably a reason for that.

I'd love to know what you're listening to the moment?
