Shuore Tape:

Salam to all PG members I picked these bad boys up just before coming to Pakistan honestly they were bought to scratch the itch I was having for buying a new set of iems I also had the pleasure of listening to two of my beloved iems the QDC VX ANOLE and Empire Ears Legend X they are 2400 and 2450$ USD though I wanted to buy both but realistically I couldn't as I had to finance something else as well.

This is the picture I took after my demo






Now lets take a look at the tapes

Box:

A very different small round cylindrical case I like the design






Carrying case:

This one is a crazy slippery UFO style case its both fun and annoying at the same time and its quite difficult to use in winters.




TAPE:

The design is inspired from the old cassate tapes from back in the day some people think they are cool some people think they are ugly I think they look fantastic and feel solid in hand full metal shell removable eartip nozels and all.














Cable:

Comes with a very nice in house copper cable a lot of other expensive iems come with worse cable than this one I feel no need to change it its terminated in 2.5mm but comes with a 3.5mm adapter in the box which is a plus.



Driver:

Its a hybrid of a 10mm dynamic beryllium coated driver which is responsible for the lows and mids and some sort of a electrostatic tweeter/driver for the highs its proprietary and don't have much information about it tbh.





Driveability:

Sounds like a dream from a dedicated DAP like my iBasso DX150 with AMP8 and AMP6 it really loves extra juice as I got it just before I left I didn't had a change to try it with the woo audio wa8 but I am fairly positive it will blow my mind. The best thing is that I can drive it just fine from my one plus phone as well if you don't have a DAP fret not it will work just fine with a phone a good player is a cherry on top.

Sound:

In one word amazing the highs are very crisp and clear thanks to the electrostatic tweeter I mean its a kin technology to the ever more expensive stax you get tremendous amount of detail so much so it makes you wonder and question your previous iem purchases.

Mids are a bit forward I like the presence quite a lot and things are well defined within the range nothing gets lost in the highs and lows.

Lows are thunderous here the bass is powerful yet controlled at the same time very well defined and extended I am a bass head but my liking is skewed more towards neutral side of things so I enjoy it quite a lot I dont like bloated and boomy bass any more.

Overall I really like the sound of course I am not a critical listener I just enjoy my music I mostly listen to rnb, rap, hip-hop, desi, bhangra and club mixes and for these I am very satisfied with them plenty of bass, clear vocals airy highs with lots of detail.

Price:

Now this is a head turner comes at just around 18000/- pkr I mean seriously chi-fi is killing it if these were released anywhere in 2016-2017 by a western reputable manufacturer like sennheiser, shure, final audio etcetera they could easily be priced at 1000$ as a flagship and as of now the closest thing I can imagine to these are ALO Vega costing a staggering 1500$ when launched and sitting at 1100$ right now I own its brother lyra ii @800$ with a 300$ cable and still go back to the tapes often. There are other iems costing less than the tapes and still sound amazing such as blon 03, tin hifi t2 etcetera in this day and age I dont understand music lovers using air pods, bose and beats its like going to KFC instead of X2 lahore or Butler's cafe Islamabad lol. For convenience okay but it shouldn't be anything more than that I just bought my brother the Bose/qc35 ii and never even bother to unbox or listen to them myself yet they cost more than twice as much these.

There are a lot reviews online about them they can give you an idea of what they are minus the quality control issues as I contacted the company directly before buying and they assured me that all the qc complaints of the first bach were rectified and I haven't had any problem with them myself.

Pictures pictures:

Looking at iBasso dx150, woo audio wa8, whizzo, shure se846, jabra elite, shuore tape and ALO Lyra ii












Please share what you're using as your daily driver and what would you like to listen to one day and what's your endgame ?

I want to try one day are stax 009s I could say Sennheiser HE1 but sitting at 50000$ I would never buy them so grapes are sour lolzz as for the endgame well I dont believe there's one.

Great IEMs, hats down to Chi-fi
I just got myself KZ ZS10 Pro, trying it for now. For what i like to listen to one day is a long list as everyone has and as you already said there is no endgame, we are deep in it.

I have heard good things about them as well and to be honest at this rate of new comers to the market we can have a new set every month or two something that doesn't necessary breaks the bank yet proves to be quite enjoyable.

It is finally possible to try out every kind of tuning at an affordable price and every kind of setup like DD only, one DD plus a number of BAs or DDs+BAs+EST especially being in China its so convenient to get them all.

Now the idea is to try a number of tunings and hybrid setups and invest a little big in the one I like the best I really liked the QDC VS @2450$ it was BAs only dream come true but again I want to try 64 audio U12Ts as well before i invest this much money in it

yes the best thing about having more companies is the prices getting better every day.
wow being in China is great, i mean u can get things super fast with very less problems with RMA and stuff.
i m planning on getting a new amp for myself as my FIIO E07k some times hangs in terms of display and controls.
have read some good things about U12T and they are a bit cheaper too getting to try before buying would be great.

Yeah in terms of DAPs I think iBasso did a great job in terms of sound performance per dollar I might switch to DX220 with AMP9 later on or something else.

With these value IEMs spending 10x more is only getting slight improvements and refinements its great time to be in this hobby at the moment

Both DX220 and M15 have some great reviews out there (havent read in detail yet), especially M15 looks pretty solid in terms of components used.
but they are way out of my league, do you have a recommendation for a mid level DAC as it will be more affordable than DAPs? how does your DX150 sound?

Dx150 sounds really good with AMP8 its my default setup I am very happy with it and I think it can be bought for cheaper price now. If you dont want to fiddle around with amps you can go for DX 160 a new midranger. As for Fiio you still have M11 or M11pro which are still pretty good and offer good value for money.

I am holding on to my DX150 for as long as I can and when it feels obsolete I will get the latest and greatest from any of these companies however M15 is feeling pretty solid I might get it sooner than later...

Hi there you cant go wrong with both of these I think I saw the seller's thread on PG marketplace some days ago if possible could you audition them both? I think audio tenchnica are easier to drive and fairly neutral

    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.
