My order shipped on March 18th, but it looks likes it's coming from overseas, so it will take some time to actually arrive.

UnderTheHillI received my order today. The packaging itself is just the generic pelican case containing the IEMs, cables, and multiple sets of tips. No documentation included.
Off the bat, they sound much better than the Toneking T88K. The T88K sounded flat to me, while these are much more to my liking.
I wanted to compare these with my recently received BGVP DMG (which I have been using for 3 weeks as my daily commuter). For both, I used Comply Isolation T-200 tips with waxguard. I wanted to make sure I was using the same tips for both as tips can make a big difference. After listening to the same three songs on each, I would give the edge to the Crescent.
The DMG are excellent (using gold tips), and are definitely better than the T88K, but to my ears and my type of music, it doesn't match the Crescent. At the same time, the Crescents are 3x the price of the DMG, so is it 3x better than the DMG? Answer to that is absolutely not, which is a testament to how great the DMG are. I don't have the DM6, so can't compare the Crescents to that set.
One thing, the nozzles on the Crescents are huge, the Comply Isolation T-200 tips I have fit the DMG, the T88K, and UE900s without any issues, but it took a great deal of coaxing to get them on!
The shells of the T88K are bigger and heavier than the Crescent, T88K to my ears felt like CIEMs going in, but were more difficult pulling them out. The T88K I also has a hole in the shell for a vent, while the Crescent don't.
Finally, regarding the cable on the Cresecent, it doesn't have an adjustment piece to tighten up the cables closer to your head, which I was surprised as I like a tighter, neater fit of my cables.
Since I only got these about an hour ago, I'll use these as my daily commuters and see how they hold up as so far, every IEM that I have with Knowles drivers have failed on me and either needed to be replaced or returned for refund, which included the T88K that failed in it's third week of usage.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
