Paul Wasabii's first impressions are that it's competitive with the other planars, despite only being $40. Smokes everything in the $40 range in technicalities.

Here's another set of first impressions: https://youtu.be/6YAY2Am_LI8

It’s exciting to see a planar for $40. I was saving for the $130 S12 planar sometime in the future.

I was about to order the $8 EDCX for a fun budget treat, but then I hear how great the $18 Tangzu Waner sounds. And now I’m wondering if I should get the $40 pr1 pro to hear what planar is all about. Lot of great IEMs out right now.

Better decide quick because the discount is about to expire in a couple days. $80 is the regular price.

Indeed. I am thinking I will hold off. I want to see more reviews and learn more about whether I’d notice / be bothered by any deficiencies.

I think I’d enjoy the S12 more in the future. I want to try something new still though, so I’m thinking of ordering the Tangzu Waner. I’ve never heard planar, so it’s still an unknown. The Waner might be a better fit.

Multiple early impression is pretty positive from Paul Wasabi and Hifri.

i won't take it for $80, but for $40 with that graph? i'll take the blind dive.
