they are not forgotten, just a legend of a different era of IEM.

I think the idea that we are in a new modern era of IEMs is mostly marketing gobledygook.

It's designed to try to get people to buy newest stuff at the highest cost they will ever be. Even though, this stuff doesn't have software or batteries and the real value proposition is buying stuff that didn't come out in the last year

But the algorithm, and the affiliate links don't reward that time of judicious consumer approach.

So we have to pretend that we're in some golden age and you have to buy stuff that came out in the last three months.

mmm bro the salnotes zero, chu, cadenza etc. literally costs less (?) what you don't understand of what i'm trying to say is the t2 were considered the best for its price a couple years ago, but today, 20$ IEMs are better than what it was a couple years ago, even better than the t2. so don't think too shallow and think that we want the newest things with the highest cost, it may be just you that think that way.

Would you buy a iPhone 5 or 14? Wouldn’t the newer models be better?
