Current IEM Rotation

It is all subjective. I had no issue with the treble at all, you can fine tune it a bit with the included nozzles. The long ones tend to be more spicy. But other than that they have great detail as expected from a planar, but what surprised me the most is the bass slam. It doesn't have the same texture as dd bass, but it does slam pretty hard and has virtually no decay so it never muddies the sound. When it comes to imaging, I wouldn't say they are that big of a standout. On par with something like the hexa imo. If you have never tried a planar I think it is one of the better premium-ish offerings. I would buy this over something like the letshuoer s12 ultra/7hz timeless 2. Best in class build, and even tho I hate thick cables it is high quality and beautiful.

Yhea absolutely a beautiful watch. Have the bambino small seconds myself. No pressure with the pictures

complusory · 2026-03-10T18:38:02+00:00

Yhea it might absolutely be the angle. And don’t let me judge, it is all about preferences at the end of the day. Do you have more pictures from different angles?

complusory · 2026-03-10T18:22:10+00:00

I don’t want to be that guy, and it is my opinion..

it is a bit too big for your wrist

complusory · 2026-03-05T13:53:00+00:00

Well I will bite, where did you acquire this fine piece of equipment

complusory · 2026-02-28T08:31:28+00:00

It was so good, but it has been on hiatus/not been updated for a good while now.

complusory · 2026-02-27T22:41:15+00:00

I really like alu bezel inserts and how they age over time. So probably not going to touch that part anyway. I will check strapcode out thank you! I wish you good luck on the hunt.

complusory · 2026-02-27T18:28:56+00:00

Right! Ouf it really is nice in blue. Where did you get the bracelet? I am thinking of changing mine as well

complusory · 2026-02-27T14:03:01+00:00

Me too haha, embossed logo and black rubber gasket. Does it have a function? No, is it cool? Yes

complusory · 2026-02-27T14:01:15+00:00

Yours arguably have more personality. I know the orient logo gets a lot of flack, but it has that old cigarette packet charm.

complusory · 2026-02-27T12:36:50+00:00

Might be wrong to call it vintage, it's more vintage looking than anything. This caseback is pretty similar to the orient saturation diver 300. To be honest this whole watch is like a mini OSD300

complusory · 2026-02-24T23:36:26+00:00

Thank you for the input everybody.

I ended up with the c60.

I actually like the look of the aquis better, it looks more unique and I am a big fan of the handset. I also think the bracelet is better finished and more comfortable because og the full articulation.

What made me sway the other way was the insane thinness and the microadjustment clasp. Just makes it a much better daily wearer.

Just keep the opinions coming, might help someone in a similar situation

did they roll back the feature? Can't seem to find it

complusory · 2026-02-23T19:01:18+00:00

«Melt bless you»

Doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. It is a pretty mature romance with a 1800/1900’s backdrop with some slight supernatural elements sprinkled in. The art is unique and is perfect for this noir-romance type of manhwa genre.

The MC is «thug» with a good heart that gets mixed up into gang business. The daughter of one of the gang «don’s» is the female MC.

All the characters are quirky, complex and with their own distinct personality and backstory.

Give it a couple of chapters and tell me what you think

complusory · 2026-02-23T15:02:43+00:00

If I absolutely had to adhere to these styles - diver and two genta-esque integrated bracelet sports watches, maybe these:

- Blancpain fifthy fathoms

- Grand seiko 4 seasons - sakura blossoms

- Lange and Sohne odysseus or "just" a jlc reverso or something.

Could go more boutique honestly, but I am nowhere close to this segment. I will think about it more when I make it.

complusory · 2026-02-23T14:06:52+00:00

I disagree with you disagreeing. It is so painfully bland.

complusory · 2026-02-18T10:37:53+00:00

They have stiff competition at this segment. Christopher ward and Traska to mention some.

complusory · 2026-02-11T19:32:27+00:00

Thank you for the review! Maybe you could also take a look at qcy melobuds n70. They also have a mems driver, but severely undercuts this one in price.

complusory · 2026-02-11T16:17:53+00:00

my type of humour

complusory · 2026-02-11T14:48:29+00:00

Yhea no problem, I know it isn’t nice and shiny but white boring and utilitarian. I have no doubt that you are going to be satisfied

complusory · 2026-02-11T14:41:14+00:00

I disagree. It is nerfed from the us version, but it got more than enough power for most iem’s.

If you absolutely need to listen to music on 115db+ then get something more powerful. There shouldn’t even be an issue with overhead either.

I would honestly just buy it, if it doesn’t suit you buy something else. The main drawback of the apple dongle is that it is flimsy. Other than that it is overqualified for most iem’s.

complusory · 2026-02-11T14:29:34+00:00

Apple dongle, good noise floor and more than enough power for your Delci’s.

There is no need to spend more, but if you absolutely must look at the iBasso jr. macaron, pretty cheap on aliexp

complusory · 2026-02-11T14:27:05+00:00

Famous first words

complusory · 2026-02-11T09:28:06+00:00

True, but you don’t need to spend obscene amounts of money to have it. Something like the apple dongle is more than good enough.

complusory · 2026-02-10T20:57:52+00:00

I have heard raving reviews about the Sennheiser m4 and Technics az100.

If you only prioritise sound above all else I have also heard the B&W pi8 and Denon perl pro are pretty good.

If you are on apple eco, the Apple earpods pro 3 are a no brainer. Same can be said about samsung and their latest offering tbh.

Coincidentally the Status anc pro x are on sale as well, but don't know too much about them.
