    I’m a little confused how vocals can sound both “shouty and distant”

    Review by 'SammyG' on item 'Penon Vortex'

    The Single DD: I've listened to over 20 earphones ranging in price from $30-$1500, and in just about every conceivable configuration of DD, BA, EST, Planar and BC. I've found each driver type has its pros and cons. A lot of earphones try to token the benefits of different drivers by using them...

    @kaavik47 I use CTM dual flanges. I find the deeper you seat them the more details are brought out. The sound and stage cylindrical ones that came with with set work well too, but I didn’t find them very comfortable.

    DUNU SA6 vs Thieaudio Oracle

    I tend to agree. While in this hobby we often chase sets with the best technical abilities, these often don't sound natural. Personally I place a 90% emphasis on tonality and 10% on technical ability.

    DUNU SA6 vs Thieaudio Oracle

    Nice comparison! I would have liked to see the Oracle MK2 keep a similar tuning to the OG and just repackage it in a smaller shell. I agree with HBB, they turned it into another IEM all together.

    Thanks for the detailed comparison! I actually already have the 3, and was curious what they improved upon!!

    From memory I think the Blessing 2 had a bit more forward mids and lower treble. The Dunu SA6 Ultra has more elevated bass and much better treble extension.

    Update: ADV Sound cleared inventory and it appears to now be discontinued. A shame, this is one of the most natural sounding units I've heard.

    Ie600 vs u12t and mest mk2

    Passion for sSund made a pretty detailed YouTube video on this subject. Basically the MEST MK2 has excellent soundstage and magical moments, but can be incoherent and a bit distracting.

    Blessing 2 has a thicker nozzle. For me, the OG and Ultra are the most comfortable IEMs I've tried.

    LOL, they are a pretty incredible set. It makes the Moondrop S8 sweat. Honestly a kilobuck contender, if only they made more than 300 units. It'll be interesting to see what the resale price turns out to be.

    The discovery thread!

    I'm excited to hear Super Review's take on this one. It appears to address the clipped treble that hurts the Blessing 2

    Detail retrieval and sound stage are significantly improved. Also I think the mids are a little more lively and less relaxed

    Nice review, I agree with you on the bass being the only weakness (still very good but not on the same level as the mids and treble).
