@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews entre tripowin mele e o blon 03, qual dos dois é o melhor? Qual sai mais/melhor a voz? Em um vídeo estrangeiro que mostra o som , o Aria me pareceu com menos vozes e som estranho. Não sei se é isso mesmo ou ele teria mais voz e soaria melhor? Pq se ele for muito bom, aí fico na dúvida de novo entre o Aria e os outros dois . Ou nesses vídeos não tem como reparar totalmente como vai ser tal som? Quero um fone pra curtir o som da música, mas sem perder nada, tipo como o som que sai do meu celular Motorola one fusion Plus, que pelo visto é hifi, não sei se ele 100% flat ou se tem algo a mais, mas escuto todos instrumentos, a voz no tom certo e não baixo, só peca um pouco no grave e no sub mas percebe que tá lá. não sei se isso é que chama de palco sonoro maior, Enfim , pelo menos é o que eu acho que um fone deveria ter pra curtir música E não um que só vai ouvir alguns instrumentos, ou não vai ouvir direito a voz , ou o som inteiro soar estranho.

[@ramaidaugirdas]

Paulo, tenho o Aria e garanto que ele é muito bom! Se gosta de vocais, ele se sai melhor que o BL03 e o Mele, basta dar um dia pro seu cerebro se acostumar com o som! Mas se gosta de graves, vai de Mele! (Dizem que o Mele é muito parecido com o Blon, só que um pouco melhor que o Blon). Abss

[@lotog692]

Your list contains neither the Mele nor the Aria. It would've been really interesting to see where the more affordable stuff ends up in relation to the "not so affordable stuff" in your oppinion. As something like a reference point. Will you put them in, or have they been left out for a reason?

[@lotog692]

​@@Hari-kx2er I'm talking about the ranking list. The Mele, the Aria and some other lately video reviewed budget stuff isn't in the list and I wondered why. The idea behind my comment was, to have some more reference points in his ranking list, because reference points are crucial to understand, whether a reviewer has the same "sound profile" as I do. And usually it's good to have some cheaper reference points, because not everybody wants to buy 1K+ IEMs just to find out, whether he should follow a reviewers buying advices.

[@iritian]

The tripowin jelly 2 pin cable is usually the go to for them. They're like $16-$20 on amazon. Tips depend more on preference. I like using memory foam tips because of the fit and isolation they offer. Some people prefer the sound of silicone ones like spindrifts of silicone memory foam hybrids.

If the Timeless has better reliability, I’d reverse the order there.

Hi BGGA, I got the P1’s not a long time ago. I do like them for the resolution and imaging a lot. And the mids sound very natural. I am quite intrigued by the Timeless reviews. Definitely would like to go for that tonality. My question for you dear sir is- how is the resolution of details and imaging of Timeless compared to P1. If it’s on par or better on those fronts as well, I will jump the gun on them. Hope to hear your views to decide. Thanks, Srijan

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I think planar are different from DD and BA in speed so p1 and Timeless are very similar. Both are unique. I prefer the 7Hz

Loving the meles for $50. Better than most of my $100+ sets.

[@AnnaShuk]

I don't find them "girly" at all. That angel figure on a faceplate reminds me of those tiny figures on trucks that's why I always tell this to the guys who worry to much and make everyone else feel insecure about wearing these. Sound is more important, sound and fit. And they sound soooooo good. That bass kicks! Fit is nice too. Smaller than some, but with right tips lots people gonna love it. Of course, if a person simply doesn't like gold that's understandable. But I don't think it needs to be about the gender. 🤷🏻‍♀️
