    The discovery thread!

    The latest IEMs praises and overreacting style reviews look like the speech of a car salesman from USA films of the 80s-90s, what wonderful new headphones these are and they have never seen better. But at the end they carefully add - in this price category.

    iFi audio GO pod + IEMs = brilliant wireless sound on the GO!

    Doesn't look very ergonomic or comfortable to wear. Hope local shops will have them to test. Certainly not suitable for a blind buy, I think

    Didn't find any troubles with mids in SR5, might be mod was unnecessary from the start or there is some significant difference between batches of the SR5, I got mine from taobao. And articulated mids are necessary for any guitar centric genres, because most of the sound of the guitars based in...

    I can agree with this, very fast and textured bass, good midrange and sufficient upper frequencies without sibilants. Technical fast death and black metal sound very good. But the most important thing is that Mike Patton's vocals sound great

    With the help of this red little pin tool I've managed to fix socket issue. But I can't guarantee that it will work for someone else.

    Got mine today, has problem with 2 pin connector, had to push sim tray pin into the socket and twist pin a bit, now stock cable from zetian wu is sits deep and secure.

    Yes, I didn't find fr too and asked him about fr graph, and he said its same as SR5. But I doubt because it has vented dd, should have slightly different sound signature. They also had h1 version, but I can't find it on AliExpress right now

    This shows how much the sphere of headphones is super-marginal, they also buy all these dynamics and ba not at the prices that are indicated for retail sale, but noticeably lower.
