I really haven't been listening to anything else ever since I first got the ES back in March when it first came out, I was such a huge fan of the original Andro and had the money to burn so I took the plunge. It is extremely heavy and dense sounding for sure, and I think that's where a lot of...

Bit the bullet and bought a W4, still getting accustomed to it, but initial impressions are pretty positive. Functionality wise, seems to work and sound fine from an iphone when the included lightning cable is used, but other cables are hit/miss, zero problems from ipad pro usb-c unsurprisingly...

Hard to say, I appreciate video reviews for the visuals and hands on look on stuff, but for me it's easier to digest more complex info via written words. If I had to choose one, video, but ideally there'd be both, or at least a transcript. Coming soon... Andromeda, Dirt Cheap Edition (DC)...

I'm going to have to give the questyle a try if I can ever pick one up for cheap, I already have so many dongles and RU7 works just fine, it's hard to justify another dongle purchase these days, but if you feel there's strong synergy with ES, might be able to justify it. Also look forward to...

I've noticed that too, I think it has something to do with power, ES does have low rated sensitivity, but I don't hear as much hiss/noise as with prior CA iems, so it may be needing more power to make sure the dual diaphragm BAs are getting the power they need to breathe. I mainly use Cayin RU7...

Great video review, pretty much my thoughts. It is warmer, but it's not that drastic, much like how the 2020 Andro is considered darker than the classic Andro, but side by side it's really not that significant when both have good amounts of clarity, bite, and sparkle. Emerald Sea does introduce...

Following up after initially preordering these. To get some negatives out of the way, the new shape/design is really appealing, but it did introduce some fit problems for my ears vs the older generation shell shape. I usually use spiral dots, and those proved to be too suction-ey and sometimes...

I got mine through MusicTeck, not because of warranty/dealer reasons though, I'm just impatient and wanted to hear it now. If I was willing to wait 2-4 weeks for delivery I'd probably go on a limb and buy from there, but the tech intrigued me and couldn't wait, no regrets paying a little extra...

RU7 just arrived, and an hour flew by just testing it with my Andromeda ES to see if it worked with my iPhone SE. Works great and the menu/mode selection is easy, volume control is very precise and independent of iPhone, but curiously it doesn't disable the volume bar despite not doing anything...

How does it sound *with the ER4XR?

I do notice there's no interference when streaming over wifi in airplane mode, but pretty much unbearable with cellular, so when out and about streaming, need to use another dongle or make sure to download a playlist.

Enjoy, it's tough to part with something you like for something potentially better, but hopefully the RU7 will remind you of it while also being more versatile. I couldn't resist and ordered one, I've been slammed in life/work and only have had time to enjoy music with my gear, but I do hope to...

Yeah, I never tried the RU6, but I have a Hiby FC6. Love it to pieces for its easy filter/NOS modes and grand, smooth yet deep sound, but it shares the same problem, audible cellular interference, no matter how well shielded the cable, have to download music first then turn on airplane mode for...

Emerald Sea arrived today straight from Campfire Audio! Ultra early first impressions; do not hear bass bloat, perhaps it is a touch more, but not enough to mud the mids, it is still very clear and open, I'm not missing a single detail in my music, typical Andro staging/imaging there in flying...

Plenty of power for my IEMs, loud, clear, and dynamic with good bass body, impact, and rumble on Ara and Andromeda 2020. I don't have any full size headphones, but hopefully somebody can comment on that here soon.
