I find it odd and funny at the same time

I was randomly browsing the AliExpress Coins section and came across the TANGZU Wan’er 2 Red Lion Edition for $14.

I've been in the hobby for a little over 2 years, but I haven't bought any new IEMs in about a year. Lately I've mostly been watching reviews and didn’t feel the urge to buy audio related gears anymore.
For reference, my current collection includes the Cadenza, EW200, Hexa, MagicOne and S12 OG.

At this point, I'm wondering if this would just be an impulsive purchase because of the price, or if the Wan’er 2 actually brings something different to the table.

For those who have tried it, does it offer a noticeably different sound signature compared to what I already own, or would it mostly be redundant?

I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro Max and I'm looking for a controller that will provide the best overall experience for racing and fighting games, while also being versatile enough for future releases.

The games I'm currently playing include:
- CarX Street
- CarX Drift Racing 3 (DR3)
- CarX Rally
- CPM2
- Warframe
- Destiny
- Where Winds Meet
- Game of Thrones
- Call of Duty: Mobile
- Shadow Fight 4
- Sky: Children of the Light

I'd also like something that will work well with upcoming games I may want to try in the future.

The GameSir options available to me are:
- GameSir G8 Plus
- GameSir X5 Lite
- GameSir X2s

For someone primarily playing racing and fighting games on iOS, which one would you recommend?
I'm especially interested in:

iPhone/iOS compatibility and reliability
Acceptable input latency
Overall build quality and longevity
If you've used any of these controllers on iPhone, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Only the earbuds are shown in Find My.
Already did the reset.
Find my are all activated.
I’m using a 16 pro max on 26.5 (latest version to date)
I have also noticed that the « Enable charging case sounds » toggle is greyed out.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is where Im at :
- 2 broken frames (I mostly fly outdoors). Not a huge deal tho, some B7000 glue, heat shrink, and they're basically good as new.
- 3 sets of props retired after taking too much abuse.
- Had one motor seize up during the first week. I took it apart (watch out for those tiny O-rings), repositioned the loose magnet, put it back together, and it’s been fine ever since.
- One battery puffed up for no apparent reason.
- Ended up soldering all 4 motors directly to the flight controller.

And honestly? Im having an absolute blast. The adrenaline rush is real.
For anyone starting out, I highly recommend the Meteor75 Pro. It’s every bit as durable as people say. Since Im starting to fly indoors more often, I might pick up an Air65 II Race Edition as well.

Spending time on Liftoff Micro Drones and VelociDrone Mobile (when Im away from my PC) has helped a lot with improving my skills.
At this point, Im convinced that pretty much everything in FPV is a consumable item (except maybe the goggles, radio, and charger). You have to be willing to accept that every flight carries some cost in wear, damage, or replacement parts.

And lastly, crash outcomes seem completely random. I've had some absolutely brutal crashes where nothing happened, then a simple, harmless-looking crash tht caused way more damage than I ever expected.

Overall, no regrets. This hobby is addictive af !

Coming from a 13 Pro Max, I decided to upgrade now instead of the 17 Pro Max.

Personally, I think the 16 Pro Max looks and feels more premium, and the build quality gives me confidence it'll hold up well over time.

The difference compared to my 13 Pro Max is night and day for me. Everything feels faster, smoother, and more refined.
If my experience with the 13 Pro Max is anything to go by, I'm expecting to keep this one for at least another 3 years, probably longer.

I've noticed that stickers play a big role in this hobby so...
