    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Just recieved my zst silver cable and tried it on the colorful zst. OOTB, the bass is boomy and the treble feels off. I went back to the original cable and all is well again. I tried some different tips(spiral dots, IT03 large tips). Bass became a little to boomy for me although the IT03 gave a...

    Shanling M1: An iPod Nano Competitor / DAP || USB DAC || USB Transport || Bluetooth 4.0 + aptX || DSD

    Kind of a weird journey to the M1... I bought a Mojo last year in the hopes of using it with my Note 2. Sadly, the apps I use like Spotify didn't work. I recently got a new LG phone that doesn't have OTG so I couldn't use Mojo with that either. So now enters the M1 this week to use as a...

    Cowon PLENUE M2 (Current Firmware and Manual Links in 1st post)

    Got my PM2 last month off of Amazon since it was 100$ less than the P1. This is the most I've ever spent on a DAP and kinda shocked that I hit the buy button. I was so impressed by the PD that I wanted to see for myself if it's worth the price difference. What's ironic is I'm using a 20$ iem...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Been buying quite a few iem's lately I bought the ibasso it03 for the upgrade and a few kz iem's out curiosity including the ZST. I came away enjoying the ZST sound the most and was surprised how well it sounded on my Cowon PM2. Love the extension, soundstage, and the ZST's ability to place...

    Cowon Plenue D

    Zhiyin qt5, narmoo s1, shozy zero, urban fun. I just bought a couple of granvela iems as well. The Qt5 really suprized me the most because without an amp they didn't impress me much. The moment I used the jet effect "Feel the Wind" with the Qt5 I knew I found the right synergy. Just a grand...

    Cowon Plenue D

    I listen to my plenue d every morning. I bought a mojo before I got the pd, but I've put way more hours into the pd. PD is just a smash hit with all my iems.

    KEF M500/M200 Impressions Thread

    I opted for the m200 instead of the SW3 because of the obvious lower price and from reading the impressions m200 seemed to not have the shrill sound problem so many spoke of on the SW3 thread. I just recieved my m200 today from Amazon(79$) They are big, light feeling, and feel slighty weird in...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    Now that these are under 300$ I'm thinking about buying from Amazon. I'd also like to get a balanced cable for my Jotenheim amp. The Claire hpc cable looks like an affordable option, but I'm not sure which type of cable I should choose.

    Cowon Plenue D

    For the last 2 years my most used amp has been the C&C BH2 because of long battery life, low noise floor, and bass/treble switches. The Cowon PD has ticked all the boxes above and then some. Budget iems like the Urban Fun, Shozy Zero, and Narmoo S1 are more than adequete for the PD. Now I go...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    Just recieved the Jot and the Multi Bit this morning. This is my first Schiit gear and I've been impressed right away. The stack fits nicely on my desktop. Using the HD650 single ended and it's the best its sounded. I like the sound out of the Polaris too, but didn't like fiddling with all of...

    ZhiYin QT5 4BA + 1DD Impressions Thread

    Have you tried them amped? They really started to sing for me once I amped them. For overall enjoyment, these surpass my HD650 and they are more forgiving of poor recordings.

    ZhiYin QT5 4BA + 1DD Impressions Thread

    No, not for me at least. The white tips made vocals a little to forward for me. Glad I switched to the black tips for more balanced vocals, better fit, and easier to see the green(L) and red(R) ring.

    ZhiYin QT5 4BA + 1DD Impressions Thread

    To my ears, the Narmoo S1 has more treble, less of a midbass hump, and slighty more sub bass than the Shozy Zero. The S1 has great interplay with sub bass and midbass while retaining this airy quality which makes vocals sound very clear. It was also the first iem that gave me a sense of hearing...

    Headphone to IEM converts?

    I started out with Dt770/80 pro and fiio e11. I was curious about soundstage and thought bigger must mean better. After that I bought Dt880 pro, akg612pro, and hd650. Although these headphones sounded great I was still curious about iems so I bought the narmoo S1. Something about the sound just...

    ZhiYin QT5 4BA + 1DD Impressions Thread

    If this is what a "bad" 4ba 1dd iem sounds like then I'll be in for a real treat with my next iem. I certainly will wait for more reviews the next time I purchase though. Seems I got lucky or I've found a sound signature I find pleasant. Prehaps both.
