TOPPING to release a new IEM!

apple music web player use aac format, i suggest you install an android emulator like bluestack or something else, and install apple music android version on it, the lossless audio really makes difference
On work computer you can't always install what you like, I think he is stuck to browser web player for this reason, just like me.
If bitrate is not starved I'm not so sure it makes a tangible difference with lossless, especially for casual listening.

Exactly! Per Company policies, I can’t install any “unapproved” software…
And yes casual listening is what I do when working. :cool:
 
on-on-on-off is a smooth operator, I think the IEM is fantastic!

on-on-off-off has a bit too spicy highs for me

I haven't tried the other settings yet.

They outperform my Moondrop Blessing 3 in every way – amazing for 109€

Got mine today morning! Sounds amazing; in some ways beyond what I expected of the Hane! What tips are you using ? I started with the tips that look like the Moondrop Spring tips which were very comfortable but did not get a good seal! Thus, went back to the silicone tips.
 
I've been listening to them for the couple of the days, and comparing them to Truthear Nova.
But I have problems with seal. I'm using SpinFit CP100 XL size and small movements with my head or jaw makes me loose seal and sound goes crap. Anyone knows even larger tips that could fix my issue? Maybe if the nozzle was longer I would be fine...

So far what I like:
- Looks
- Size, weight. Very small and lightweight
- Sound, (when seal is good) I'm using 0110 setting and it's fun sounding IEM. With that configuration of switches I prefer them over Truthear Novas.

What I don't like:
- Cable, I really don't like this cloth thing, to me it's micro phonic and ear hooks are too aggressively shaped. I'm using different one
- Seal problems, nozzle could be a bit wider or/and longer, but that's personal caveat

Also small thing but I would like to mention it, finally the packaging is not covered with anime child girls. :facepalm: But rather classy looking with simple two tones.
I just don't understand that and always feel huge embarrassment when my wife sees these boxes.

CP100 XL are 14 mm large, I didn't ever happen to see any larger tips, only Tri Clarion L match to 14 mm width but are shorter (9 mm vs 10 mm) so don't know if they can do the job for you, maybe their peculiar bore shape can help, and since they are pretty cheap on aliexpress it could be worth trying.

this doesn't match, the inner size is 4.6mm, hane's size on the top is 5.9mm, the lower neck part is 5.3mm, i asked topping on taobao

You actually don't want the nozzle width to be the same as (or even very close to) the bore size of the ear tips. Silicone will stretch to fit a much bigger nozzle (I've used tips with a 3.5mm bore on nozzles up to 5.5mm), but if the tips aren't at least slightly smaller than the nozzle they will usually end up slipping off (like when I tried spinfit cp145 tips on an IEM with a 4.5mm nozzle). My personal rule is that I don't use tips with a bore within 0.5mm of the nozzle size, unless there's a ridge that would lock the tips in place.

If the bore size of the tips are 4.6mm, they should fit quite well on the Hane.

normally the 4.6mm size fits for ~5.2mm, 5mm fits ~6mm, of course you can make more efforts to plugin it, it's your choice

Foam tips are different from silicone. The core on foam tips is usually much less stretchy, plus it's wrapped in foam, so it fits a smaller size range.

The example I made, where I used tips on an IEM with a nozzle 2mm larger than the bore of the tips, was simply an example of how much silicone stretches (also, it wasn't at all hard to get the tips on, so they could easily have stretched more).

I probably should have mentioned that how much the tips can stretch is also affected by thickness. Spinfit cp145 can fit on larger nozzles than spinfit w1, despite having the same size bore, because the w1 has a thicker stem that can't stretch as much.

The foam tips that came with the hane helped me a lot in getting a good seal! Also, I think the Nova foam tips might fit the Hane :)
 
Unfortunately I have fitment/seal issues with Hane and I tried various tips, something is just not working with my ears...
I'm on the fence of selling them, oh well I still have my Novas and 7hz zero2.
