I like switches, or at least a form to change the tuning in a noticeable way, so on the rare occasion of someone asking me for recommendations they get some flexibility, Instead of crying over a possible loss

For their first ever release, this seems good enough. And glad to hear that the switches works well. I hope they keep on making IEMs, for better and hopefully for cheaper so it can compete with more of its peers. If anything else, I love the color on the caps for this one.
@jacqn67062 ай бұрын
That's why I like your reviews: it's about the music/ library. My library is kind of similar to yours with the exception of classical. It makes it so easy for me to imagine how the playback of a song sounds due to your reviews. On the topic of switches: I just set it once and be done with it. Thanks for the review. As always appreciated.

I was on Linsoul a couple days ago thinking "If I look at what's for sale will I see a bunch of random and daringly designed sets with zero community review/knowledge like was the case 4 years ago or so" and I was pleasantly surprised by how many odd/strange/unheard of sets there were for sale. This obviously is pretty plain Jane design wise, but it was one of the ones I spotted that hit the "Who is this? Have they made anything else? Is it any good?" criteria. Wild that it turns out to be the rumored Topping set! Ahh just realized this is different to the unboxing video I watched earlier. The full review! I'll check it out later today.

A good quality DD set at $129 is pushing it, I agree. What makes the set interesting is the hook of finding the right combo of switches to really dial in your preference if they can do it.
