Got my sets! Wow, the CB (Castor Blastor) does not disappoint! Way WAY better than I expected. That bass is so Lucious! I haven't even played with the tuning yet. Even though I know it will get better, I don't want to take them off yet and I've had them on for hours. lol. My best friend is in for a treat. Thanks so much for doing such a good honest review on these. I wanted to jump when I saw them on presale but so many people were pre- trash talking them on Reddit that I had second thoughts. Ordered them as I was listening to your review. BIG sound. I'll have to listen back to back with my modded Rosefinch. Another set people love to hate and I actually love for the bass quality. The driver is actually really good and capable of a lot details with EQ or mod. 'm a little bit scared that I may like these more, like I'm cheating on my dear RF. To be fair there are 2 drivers, twice the fun. Now I've got 4 favorites, ZEX and Z2 rounding off the list. And for more detailed listening, the $5 CS2 is still better or at least as good as all my other "balanced" IEMS. And you're right, the ZVX fails hard when listening back to back. I like the look and feel of them and got them for $10 so I can't be too disappointed. I love to EQ, so it will be saved :) I may pick up the EW100p to put it against the CS2 and see if it's worth the hype. And then I think it's time to save up for bigger budget item.

You're the man!!! Keep the reviews coming! And the mods are awesome - dropping that 5k - well done.... But looking at that base again with the 500 filter, not sure....🤔 Have the Juzear Clear and Celeste Wyvern hopefully tomorrow / Monday ,👍

I have the Wyvern, took a lot of tip rolling but I'm finally happy with it. It's beautiful so I didn't want to sell. Still kind of boring compared to more fun tuning's like this Castor! wow! I think I'm just not a huge fan of Harman. It's fine, just nothing special happening there. I've got the Clear on my list. Maybe for Christmas. Enjoy!

@@tonedeafmonk I got the MS1 Galaxy today, and it seems like they actually might be vented. They got a super small hole near the nozzle, same place as Castor. And the "leakage sound" disappears when I cover it with my thumb. Or do you mean it needs to have a back vent?

Not sure I believe it as it says still in warehouse but what can you do it's Ali Express. He's getting it after the Castor but I think he'll love it regardless. He's a basshead and a newb :P Plus it's nice looking. Gonna look sweet with the upgraded cable. I'll get to use it for a little bit before I send it to him, so we'll see.

@tonedeafmonk I also got him the RF! lol, that's one of my favorite sets. I modded it but tbh I loved the quality bass it had stock. Once I had enough to crave a little more I modded it to bring out some mids, you are right. It actually EQs to EVERYTHING quite amazingly. It's got tons of details once you knock down some that beautiful bass. The driver is great.
