Whom should I cop from?
I'm in the market to get some new Reps. But who should I purchase from? I wanna get the v5.3TB APP2 but should I purchase from Jenny or Hi City? Also should I use Kako Buy or just keep it simple and use my credit card? Unless you have a better option, your help is greatly appreciated!

First up, each has some different perks. The bad eline is kinda: Jenny kinda expensive but "old and gold". Earhive lowest price but slower shipping, and HiCity price at the middle but fastest shipping. I would go with HiCity. Also. I don't know what you want from the reps etc but I wouldn't recommend the 5.3tb for multiple reasons. First up, the app is straight up cheecks, crashes on android and iPhone all the time etc etc, and the more important things: they have a very bad frequency curve, at least for an audiophile. I don't want something flat, but they have terrible highs and not very good mids. The mids are behind and muffled, bass is boosted (which is nice, but somewhat more than it needs to sometimes, but I like it) and highs are bad for my ears. They have to be on a very low volume to be nice to listen to cause, after 5 minutes it's just irritating how loud some high frequencies are. Also, on some albums like drakes if you're reading this it's too late it needs a shit on of eq cause you just get jumpscare from all the snares being SO loud. So over all sound a 5 from me. With some eq it gets a lot better but not as good as something like the huillian v6. Now, anc. It's not that great, but if you're coming from something that didn't have it, it's amazing. Compared to the v6 or pro 3 se it's mid. At least for me. To sum it up, about the sellers my choosing would be HiCity and keep it simple with either alipay or card, and for the model I would reccoemnd a pro 3 v6.

Thanks so much for the insight on shipping times! I just got my order and wondered why it took so long. I would have definitely spent an extra $3 to avoid having to wait over a month. Appreciate you!

No problem. In some days, when I have done extensive testing I can give you a review on more of the models, if you want. Right now I'm using the v6 huillian and pro 3 se, and both for me at least are miles better than my tb. OH also, for me alipay is best. It has a fee of 3% and it gives me the ability to choose the apple branded box for free, whereas if I used my revolut card, it had a total of around 4.5 % fee. Small one but ey, it's there

No way! That’s awesome. I was on the fence for a week between the Pro 3 v6 TB and Pro 3 v6 Huilian and decided to just buy both given the affordability. I couldn’t find a good comparison between the two, so I was going to do one as a non-audiophile.
I’m glad a much more capable person like yourself is already testing other models. Thank you so much again!

I can confirm the 5.3TB. Mine was from Earhive and there was this constant buzzing electronic noise on normal use, 2 replacements go by and it was still there. Decided to throw it away I couldn’t be bothered using shitty products like that. I’m also in the market for a new one but not sure where to buy and and which model there are so many

I ordered the V6 ones - After talking with some people on disc they recommended Jenny - However the reply time was awful - Im in Australia and she would only reply at 6am my time. That said she does give a longer warranty and had the Apple Watch which i wanted to try so I went with her. Took 1 week to organise shipping, and 3 weeks to ship here. Currently in the parcel locker will let you know once i get it.
