Tried a few iems but ended up choosing Blessing 2

Dioko: sounded a bit lean, fit is weird too

Yume2: liked this one but I prefer a bit less bass

Hook-X: originally wanted this but after trying it, didn't like the sound signature much

S12 Pro: it just sounded weird to me

Stellaris: my god, this sounded so thin, even thinner than the Dioko

Timeless AE: quite dig this but the fit is kinda shallow

Blessing 2: like this one the best out of the bunch, fit is really secure too and not fatiguing at all with Spring Tips

Also, thanks mum and dad!

ofc to the king of price to performance.

use external DAC :D

Endgame period... No "for a college student caveat"

Yup, using apple dongle :)

Huh, a rare Blessing 2 user. Most people (myself included) seem to go for the Dusk. Any reason you went plain B2? (Admittedly, if you ask me why I went Dusk, I'm not sure...)

Ya well, Blessing 2 Dusk is not available in my country. Not to mention that I tend to lean towards iems with brighter sound signature.

Would love to have a comparison between stock and Spring tips: sizes, comfort, sound change ?

Looks really nice man

Not OP but I choose the B2 over the Dusk. The B2 has more of a bright neutral sound signature and since I already had the Aria and a few bassy iems I wanted something different. Adding a bass shelf is also pretty easy, even on very basic eq applications. Lastly, while it wasn’t the deciding factor, I wanted a certain engraving that wasn’t available on the Dusk.

Yurp, after this price point diminishing returns start to hit hard.

Yeah. Can’t go wrong.

That's a nice looking cable. Reminds me of the one that came with my ibasso IT01. Would love to try these but the price point is a little high for me to justify atm.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

i got the fiio fh5s as a first true iem for me this week. and i really love them.

i even sometimes forget that i have them on while listening.

Right on. I feel like a lot of people will miss out on the Timeless experience due to the shallow/weird fit, mainly those of us with large ear canals. I get them to fit with Xelastecs, but only Xelastecs.

I definitely would've picked the Dusk over the B2 but here in Australia it's harder to get the Dusk and more expensive too.

I used large for both stock and Spring tips. Comfort wise, I would prefer Spring tips over the stock ones. Soundstage might be wider on the Spring tips though it might just be a placebo effect.

How's the bass when you use spring tips on a rather brighter IEM like B2? They kill the bass too much when I use them with my current IEMs, even on the bassier one like Andro. They are indeed comfortable though, kinda like Sedna.

Oh for me the bass is sufficient enough with the Spring tips, though I couldn't hear audible difference between them and the stock ones.

do you like it ?

Same in Europe, Blessing 2 only available on Amazon.

love it

I currently have both, due to thinking I'd lost the first set, I prefer the originals in quiet listening spaces. But, the added base in the Dusk helps when outside.
