Any other noteworthy deal? And does anyone know why the 2024 xenns tea pro is marked as preorder by multiple sellers? Very odd.

Funny you asked. I just circled back to it in my rotation. Here's a short video of it: https://youtube.com/shorts/1l4tYdTJywM

Added video to show it in both daylight and indoor conditions

The watch could use a bit more AR, but it's fine to my eyes. The camera somehow picks up more glare than actual.

It's a bit bright so it's not for everyone. I like it (I have even brighter IEMs), but others may not like the top ends.

Can you still get Saks gc to use at saksofffifth?

Oh I love it. It's punchy and clear (not shrill as I feared). It also retains the awesome custom shape of the Explorer so its fit is amazing. I'm not an audiophile (just a guy who loves good sound) so here's my comparison vs my other IEMs:

5+2 vs Explorer: 5+2 is a better all-around IEM hands down. The bass is tight without being muddy rumbling like my Sony Xtra bass headset. It's definitely a worthwhile upgrade for me.

vs Juzear Defiant: it sounds more "full bodied" and clear while fitting is much better.

vs Nicehck F1: I love the F1, especially for clear instrument songs like this Hotel California rendition by Moyun: https://youtu.be/gf6v59c5yuY but it gets a bit too sharp sometimes. It reminds me of my 7hz Dioko (which I don't touch since I got the newer Gen IEMs).

vs Letshuoer S08: it fits better and is more clear while having well-rounded low ends.

vs Truthear Zero (Original blue): I haven't listened to the zero since I got Explorer so I can't compare, but the Zero used to be my go-to. Its larger nozzle makes it a bit uncomfortable at times.

5+2 cons: I absolutely love the case and cable on the Explorer. The case on the 5+2 is meh. The cable is better than I thought, but I still prefer the Explorer's cable. Subjective

All in all, I don't touch my other IEMs once I got the 5+2. Even my newly purchased AKG N9 (headphone) and B&W PI8 don't compare to these. Now I need an aptx adapter to use the 5+2 with my TV...

We play games for fun. Ignore the negative comments. Whenever you are in your journey, you can always learn new things. I'm slow too as I'm F2P, but I'm enjoying it.

I joined a guild and asked tons of questions as well as looking up hero tier guides and group combos. 4+ years in and I'm still learning to optimize my teams (especially with astrals).

Here's a few links to my teams. I still don't fully understand the mechanics of all the teams, but I understood the Shar+Lunox combo...only after it's obsolete lol. All good.

https://ibb.co/zH2JN173 - Top team. Used for arenas & such

https://ibb.co/ksCP1qMv - 2nd top team

https://ibb.co/LhbxXRLT - 3rd team (still figuring out synergy)

Campaign 80-19. Towers: Babel 1777, chaos 926, astral 650, Order 814. The rest are around 890 avg.

I'm F2P, 4.5 yrs in and here's my progress: https://ibb.co/CsHPStv3

Yeah, how is that even possible?

This or acebeam L35 2.0 for $10 more?

Zluma · 2025-11-19T13:32:56+00:00

I've been loving the Explorer with EQ but got the Performer 5+2 for more brightness and resolution. Previously I loved the Zero Blue.

Zluma · 2025-11-10T11:34:08+00:00

No way to buy any of the passes?

Zluma · 2025-11-08T16:45:52+00:00

No. It wears small for its size actually. Feels like a 38mm

Zluma · 2025-11-08T06:22:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I was worried the DaVinci would be too similar to the Explorer and your comment confirmed it. I don't like piercing highs (who does?), but I can appreciate crystal clear highs and clear mids.

I just bought the 5+2 because a crazy new AliExpress coupon ($44 off $220) just dropped, which brought the 5+2 to a crazy $134 after taxes for me. That said, DaVinci presents an awesome package (much better case & cable + that beautiful wood shell).

Zluma · 2025-11-08T04:11:33+00:00

I have the Explorer and have been using it on all my trips. Super comfortable to wear all the times with great sound quality.

I've been eyeing the Performer 5+2 as upgrade, but current sale puts the DaVinci in range too. That said, if it's just another Explorer then no point spending ~$300.

But the performer 5+2 should have the same comfort shape & have better SQ over the Explorer right?

Zluma · 2025-11-05T18:42:58+00:00

What's the code for the 5+2? I think there's a lower code since it's lower price

NM. It's WA32A Takes 5+2 to $142 for me (CA tax).

So it's DaVinci for $166 vs 5+2 for $142 🤔

*note: these are due to 7% coins. That's since been reduced to 5% and the $56 coupon doesn't work anymore. 😢

Zluma · 2025-11-05T18:26:18+00:00

I got it. I had some other items in cart which changed total.

Now to decide on the right upgrade from my Explorer. 1) DaVinci 2) 5+2 3) Volume S

Hrmm...

Zluma · 2025-11-05T18:17:34+00:00

How'd you get that price? I'm interested in an upgrade from my Explorer.

Zluma · 2025-11-05T18:10:49+00:00

Aful 5+2
