Did you try to figure out the issue with your Holas? If they are broken what bad can you do. I really don't understand why people don't do that and just accept their fate.

From my experience channel imbalances that appear in IEMs after some use are most of the time just some earwax that cloggs up filter.

Can be solved with a bit of water in a bowl, a steady hand and some soap.

​

I also don't see your problem here, you usually get warned about the shortcomings of products in this sub. That's how I know about most.

​

I have and had multiple Chifi products and not a single noteable problem.

I'm using the cheapest legendary IEMs, the MH755, for over a decade now. Replaced the casing once after stepping on them and changed the cables after over half a decade or so but besides that 0 issues.

Have or had the Tin Hifi T2, BL03, Chu, Hexa, MH750 and various other cheap chinese IEMs without a single issue besides some earwax clogging up the filter after some time.

​

I also can't follow your Schiit rant. What happened? I've been using mine with 0 issues for years now.

​

Also not sure how you come up with AKG K371 as the counter argument, they are the best sounding worst headphones.

Horrible quality control, drivers just failing, headbands breaking, replacement parts unavailable. At least thats what happened to me.

​

In regards to Focal. I had 2 RMAs with my Clears because of a broken and later missmatched drivers.

I was aware of the QC issues before thanks to the sub but could not find any headphones which I liked more so decided to get them because I care more for sound, treat my gear good and most things are repaired easily.

​

If you are primarily looking for something that lasts get Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic headphones. The only thing that breaks on them is usually the cable after years of use which costs around 3 bucks to repair.
