The Delci is far from peaky and sibilant, even with the crap stock tips. This dude must have treble sensitivity like a hunting hound.

Wait -- he called the Delci a planar? Instant fail. I loathe peaky headphones and IEMs, too. The Delci isn't close to peaky. The only peaky I like is one of the greatest TV series of all times -- "Peaky Blinders."

Peaky? Damn, I thought I was treble sensitive. Couldn't disagree more. OK, the Delci doesn't have the smoothness of the MagicOne or the tame, too-conservative treble roll-off of the Galileo. But peaky? Sibilant? Nope. I also don't hear amber waves of grain, either. If he thinks the Delci is...

Appreciate the feedback! Thanks.

Quick question: From your initial impressions, what does the Explorer offer if you already own the MagicOne? Is there something that really differentiates it? I'm tighter than two coats of paint, and I don't want to spend even $100 on something that sounds similar to my MagicOne.

The MagicOne are on sale for $109 at U.S. Amazon...

I've only used the stock cable, but it's very nice. I have found Final Audio Type E tips to be, well, magic with the MagicOne. :)

+100000000000000000000 since the MagicOne is aptly named, and I'm one of the most cynical motherf*ckers on this planet about marketing terms.

Jesus H. To each their own, but I do not get the entire fascination with Japanese cartoon softcore kiddie porn. Waifu sounds like Wagyu beef on a waffle for breakfast to me.

Jay, you're a saint for putting up with the pretentious BS from those two interloper jackoffs in that thread. I like HiFiGuides -- visit it just as much as here. But those two motherf*ckers treating their opinion like it was objective gospel was ridiculous. Keep doing your thing, man!

Don't forget Maggie Rogers! :)

Price of AER supposedly $400 USD. Could be a killer.

1. ZMF Aeolus. Yeah, it's not an IEM. But it's absolutely fantastic. Love every second I listen to it. So far, the ideal headphone to match my sonic preferences. Incredible looks and build quality, too. 2. Kefine Delci. It's stupid how enjoyable this IEM is for $60. Sub-bass-alicious, with solid...

I'm kind of banking on that, too. Listened to my MagicOne for about an hour last night and still stoked at how perfectly they match most of my preferences for just $110. A wonderful set. If Aful can blend the Performer series and MagicOne into one IEM, just take my damn money right now.
