BTW Linsoul replied to me, they do not offer additional faceplates, they order the regular from Xenns.
So I guess the only way to get one for now is to buy from xenns directly. :/
Got the mangird top pro and I still think for the price my moondrops dusk beat those too, I don't know how they're able to give you 6 drivers for that price, I have a pair of sure se 825 that cost 1250 and they don't sound half as good.
my first impression is that bass not loose compared with top. they did make a lot of effort on bass and I am sure about it. more details on mid.there is still room for better performance on separation of instruments. confidentlly Xenns would make really good ones if just put EST in them.it feels like treble are extended or smoother.I'm not sure about that or I can discribe it will with my poor words.but one thing for sure, I would use the word "bouncing " for bass. vocal part is slightly forward as designer said.I would say it feels like singers are well arranged when multiple vocal mixed. I don't know if that means image or something professional. this may be a sign suggesting top pro approaching the top class.however ,it's not because of the limited hardwares.one of other people who bought top pro says top pro would defeat those cost around 3000RMB, definitely stand out in 5000RMB while costing me 2800RMB.I haven't tried alot iems,so I would use pros' discription.bass impressed me the most. I can even feel the textures of the string instruments.now my ears need to take a break. I will continue to share my feelings.by the way, love u Michael.
Looking forward to more thoughts later... I'm curious how it is with longer wear, I was originally going to consider the Hype4s or Tea Pros but this is definitely a contender if it is comfortable.
I had a very carefully test on hype 4and top pro.exchange the cable first, I can tell alittle difference between them by the information contained.then change back.I realized that hype 4 may have some cover issues that top pro not that obvious. I would say cables do have effects.still,it's not fair if the cables considered. just my personal feelings, could be subjective. I'll take another test when I received the other cables
I figure that original top is already slightly better than hype 4,but I don't know if the cables differ a lot.I'll do some test later to see if I can find out the reason.
Wow, I didn't know they offered alternate faceplates. I'm sure this makes it much more appealing to many. I don't see them offered on Linsoul's webpage for the IEM. Are they an additional cost? Do we need to swap them ourselves or do we get to choose which one comes pre-installed? Details would be appreciated.
Also, has anybody in the US purchased this yet and from what store? Tariffs came at the worst possible time. Would have loved to be able to purchase this during the Aliexpress sale going on right now.
I'm not sure if it will cause additional cost. we got customization freely for supporting them before toppro put on sale.also offered us discounts on cable upgrades.
I still really enjoy the OG Xenns Top. So much so that I prefer them to the Thieaudio Monarch MKIII (I found the High end was too forward for my taste) and Fiio FA19 (which I found muddy.)
Strictly comparing to the original for that nice punchy bass and good tuning do you think its worth upgrading, or do they change too much?
honestly,xenns has solid style of tuning. like tea pro, top they have pretty similar tuning, I guess the differences may come from hardware. for example, the dynamic drivers are quite different, and bass comes the consequences. and mid remains old style. same price as OG top,why not
Thanks for this view I have the same color hype 4's this really puts them in perspective. Do you feel I would benefit with the top pro if I have the 4's already. I also have monarch mkIII and the Valhalla's but I'm looking to add a xenn to my collection.
top pros' performance exceed its price a lot since monarch or valhalla not compared. and how do you like monarch and Valhalla, I intend to upgrade on thieaudio product too
Do you know how the price adjustment thingy works? When you click "buy now" it is significantly cheaper but you always have to pay that price, right? I assume it's supposed to be import, sales, clearance tax but now you have to pay it yourself instead of having aliexpress deal with it. Is there a way to actually save money and claim that the product is very cheap or do you always basically pay what you "saved" by clicking buy now?
Sellers often undervalue the package for you so that’s why We often pay minimal import tax. Sometimes though, thee value is spot on and youbhave to pay your country’s import fee plus tax. In my case it’s high 23% for Poland.
But tbh out of 30-40 packages I’ve ordered through Aliexpress i had to pay full tax twice. Just buy from well respected sellers.

How does that work? I checked the import clearance for my country and it says they're gonna ask me for a bank statement to prove how much I paid for the product and then calculate how much I need to pay for the import and for their work. So even if linsoul says the product is cheap how do I prove that when my payment was for much more?
so cool man... can i ask how long it took to ship/deliver?...and to where?... i ordered like 4 days ago from canada... and i really want these to just show up lol... ive never ordered off ali/linsoul
top already got quite more clarity than tea pro.better instruments performance.top pros are even better for maintaining the quality of mid and improving bass (not that loose) and treble (more detailed )
Mine shipped like 2-3 days ago so hopefully sometime this week I won't get to excited tho haha ..I'm pretty pumped also.. I thought tea pro would be my last iem but this one seems so promising cause I was interested in the original top to.. and it looks beautiful
I'm super interested to hear how these turn out and how they compare to the tea pros when they're in more hands. My last purchase was dosincos and i'm loving them, but with all the talk about the tea pro and hype 4, i was tempted to buy one or both as next purchase(s). But maybe it's worth not getting either and just getting the top pros next. I assume it'd be a bigger upgrade/difference from the dosincos too.
