Nio or Trio? I have the tia Fourte and love love it.

Nio won out for me. In fact it’s the only IEM I currently own and the best one I have heard out of many that I’ve tried. For me it hits all the boxes: great but not overpowering bass, well placed mids that stand out from the background (Trio held them back a little too much) and nice, smooth treble that never gets sibilant or harsh (Trio does get a touch harsh on some tracks).

- Empire Ear Odin
- Unique Melody MEST
- AAW Canary
Still have my 64Audio tia Fourté and Etyomtic ER4-XR.

The Nillkin Go are decent, though I had to use my own foam tips to get a better fit (I often do). Light and comfortable (unlike the much bulkier Sony), steady connection. Clear highs and mids with slightly mushy bass (foam tips probably affect that), not much of a soundstage. I see they are $36 at aliexpress now, and there’s a lot of competition around that price in Chi-Fi. I wouldn’t say they are magically wonderful or that you should go out of your way to get them. But I don’t have anything else at that price point for comparison.

By the way, I like a lot the “Chi-Fi” concept 
The last 3 I bought are:
EE Odin (Just waiting delivery)
EE Hero (May sell on)
64 Audio U18t (My personal favourite iems/headphones)
I will have to see if the Odin’s knock the U18t’s off top spot. It will take some doing.
I will try do a writeup and comparison which may also include my Andromeda’s and SE846’S.

KZ EDX (Clear as glass)
NF Audio NM2+ (Detail Monster, fatiguing)
Jade Audio EA1 (Nice, fixed FiiO FD1)
The last three (together with the, in my opinion, best possible player) were 
:
The Reecho & Peacock Audio Spring, which plays quite detailed, presents a defined bass and all in all presents an above-average tonal reproduction.
Harmonizes excellently with the ifi iDSD Signature.
I will keep it!
The iBasso IT00, an earplug with which you can’t go wrong, it is comfortable in the ear and overall it plays “balanced”.
Personally, it sounds too boring to me.
The Fiio BTR5 gives this part a little color in the sound.
It will probably become a Christmas present to a member of my family!
The Fiio FH3, much praised, too bass-heavy for me, too warm and the mids too unbalanced.
The Audioquest Cobalt does its best to balance the sound, but this plug is not really my thing.
On the way to be advertised on Ebay!
Well, a crazy guy like me has his quirks.
Maybe I’ll keep collecting and become a ChiFi In-Ear guru;
Oops; this position has long been taken

I love your display boxes. That’s also a fine collection.

That’s a great collection! I look forward to the 24-way comparison!
Joking aside, are those the Campfire Audio MW10 and Gold to the left of the green Andromeda?
It would also be great to read your impressions of the the Reecho & Peacock Audio Spring.
