Not BF but on 11/11 got the Moondrop Dawn Pro, Simgot E200 and Red Zero. Dawn Pro is a great deal for $36, it's small, sleek, stylish and plenty powerful for my IEMs.

Was not blown away by the Zero, the bass is nice but vocals especially upper mids felt lacking and I have other IEMs that do this signature better. Was mostly curious if it would live up to the hype.

E200 actually did blow me away, vocals are wide yet somehow intimate which I really like and the bass is nicely textured and fun without bleeding into the mids. It doesn't have the layering/separation and treble details that I've heard from higher end sets but for $36 this thing is amazing. The cable is IMO also great, the hardware is plastic but the actual cable sleeving feels premium and has just the right amount of flexibility. Wish it came with more tip options but the hype behind this is justified.

Gonna buy some tips for tip rolling with the BF sales, maybe it's just my ears but I find tips to have a significant effect for me beyond just a mild tuning change.

Focal Celestee and Focal Bathys!!

[–] GamePro201X@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing. Already have my endgame, and am perfectly content. If I were to get something it’d be a new amplifier as I feel that my JDS Labs Element II doesn’t have enough power

Hifiman Edition XS and a Topping dx3pro+

Heard these cans are some of the best you can get for 500 and they were on sale for sub 400 so it was a no-brainer for me

[–] hejVikk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Truthear hexa as my first IEM! Love it so far. I've bought an HD560S, a Topping DX1 and a Truthear Hexa in like 3 months. I think I'm done for this year.

Harmonicdyne Zeus Elite, they're on the way from China right now 😩

Debating between Sennheiser momentum 4, Sony xm5, or Bose quiet comfort ultra. Anyone have any input?

JDS Labs Atom Amp 2 + Atom DAC 2 Stack. My First Major Upgrade in almost 10 Years! Upgrading from Schiit Modi + Vali.

[–] Soccera1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

nothing (ear 0)

[–] dharmabum321@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hip Dac 2 - I have a Hip Dac 1 but the connections have never been stable (it cuts out randomly). Love the sound though, so I’m hoping the newer version is more stable. Guess I’ll find out!

[–] Effective-Fold6309@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I got a pair of hifiman HE-r7dx! First set of closed back headphones, as I've always gone for open backs, and IEM's. Super excited! Got them for $60 😉

I originally got the Bose QC45 because I needed a pair of wireless noise cancelling headphones for commuting and using as earmuffs (I am in canada and its super cold during the winters hence earmuffs) but then as soon as I got them, all the known issues started to pop up, the audio imbalance issues, the noise cancelling issues and the screeching noise I get on one side of the headphones. I end up returning the headphones because even if I was to get a replacement from bose, since this issue is so common that I don’t expect the new copy to be issueless either so I just wanted out of bose.

As I am located in Canada, I didn’t know if the new Sennheiser Accentum would be in stock in Canada or not but I saw them available at Best Buy with black friday discount so I ended up picking it up and its been perfect for what I need.

I gotta say tho, my main headphones that I use is Sennheiser HD6XX. So before y’all come at me for going somewhat mainstream, I’m using my new headphones for a totally different purpose.
