    The discovery thread!

    Here is my review of FlipEars Aether. This is a 4BA IEM and is surprisingly tuned very well. This certainly should get a mention when we talk about Night Oblivion Butastur, 7th Acoustic Supernova, and other well-tuned BA IEMs. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/flipears-aether.26799/review/33879/...

    Review by 'nihalsharma' on item 'Flipears Aether'

    Hello everyone, and thank you for joining. Today, I am reviewing the FlipEars Aether. FlipEars is a brand from the Philippines. They have a good presence in the East Asian market and are relatively new to the Western part of the world. However, they have been slowly getting recognition with...

    Simgot IEM discussion thread.

    Interesting comparison. The bass on Quintet is really nice, with decent texture. Supermix4 having a more bass can be more fun to listen to. Also, Quintet is a touch spicy for me, which may not be the case with Supermix 4. S4 should be an interesting release.

    Oh yes, this is the most basic design. There are far more awesome color schemes for these IEMs. There are some pictures in the dedicated thread: here

    Here is my detailed review of Alpha Omega Ra, an IEM that I find very capable. https://headfonics.com/alpha-omega-ra-review The Alpha Omega Ra has been a delightful surprise for me. Priced at under $600, it packs a considerable number of drivers and is tuned very well. The bass performance on...

    I would like to suggest an eponymous action. This one is pulling an @aaf evo. Not sure it’s suggested already. Meaning: buy everything which is TOTL. Don’t like it sell it at a very low price and move on to the next one, no regrets.

    Alpha Omega IEMs Thread

    It’s really hard to choose one over the other. They are very very close in terms of performance. It’s hard to tell which is better or may be they are at exact same place. Good to have both in the collection, for sure.

    Alpha Omega IEMs Thread

    When I had compared the OH700VB and Ra, I found the bass on Ra to be cleaner and had a better texture. The bass line coming from different instruments was better distinguishable on Ra than OH700VB. The mids on OH700VB are a bit thinner than on Ra. I also found the OH700VB to be more...

    I remember the first time I tried the RN6 and XE6. There were some other iems too: Ragnar, Fourte and Jewel. I first tried the RN6, and it sounded so good. The bass was exactly what I had always craved for. Then I tried XE6 and did not like it much, mostly because of RN6 effect. It sounded a...

    I absolutely love this pair. Read my review here: https://headfonics.com/letshuoer-cadenza4-review The LETSHUOER Cadenza4 proves to be a pleasantly refreshing IEM. Despite its seemingly standard driver configuration, the tuning is impressive. This sound signature will particularly appeal to...
