Hopefully they work out well for you ! Yeah, the Kbear 07 seems to have a really secure fit. For some reason with my 7hz Zero:2 the left ear wants to pull out for all tips except for the Kbear 07 where it stays put. That's the real strength of the Kbear 07. In terms of the T-ear, the bore is the...

TRN T Ear tips are probably my favourite budget option at this moment. They are able to project a reasonably wide stage and accentuate technicalities without being lean or overly bright (though I will admit, if your baseline is the Kbear 07's, these are a brighter sound). I also tried the TRI...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a 0.78 2-pin to 3.5mm IEM cable with good wearing comfort and nice build quality, low impedance would be ideal as well. I'm not too concerned about wire material or core count (maybe 4 core would be good). I'd be looking at spending up to around 30 dollars, do you...

I really like my Spinfit W1's, I get a really good fit with them and I'm happy with their sound.

I'd love to read these papers, but I can't find mention of any of them in the AES Journal Index of each volume they belong to.

I completely agree with your impression, it does just feel like the bass and upper treble is chopped off a bit, and it becomes quite obvious once you listen to an IEM with that full range again. The one thing I really enjoy about the Galileo is that it's one of the few IEM's which I've heard...

I'm in that position right now, I really enjoy the Galileo but I just wished it had a little more body to it with a bit more bass and bass extension. Still enjoying the vocals on it though, they're super nice. Would definitely be keen to see what people feel is a good logical upgrade from the...

I don't know if this has been covered anywhere, but I really prefer the old style Audeze pads over the new ones. I'm aware Audeze no longer sell their old style pads, but is there an aftermarket replacement which is close or replicates the old style that anyone is aware of?

I have a Playmate 2 with me right now (using the 3A Supercharger with it) and I have measured the output voltage at the lowest volume level ('01') in low gain as 23.2 millivolts (1khz tone at full scale). That's enough to get some particularly sensitive IEM's peaking at 90+ decibels. Through my...

You'll be ok, your hearing is just off right now because your ears just got a big workout and need time to rest to work as expected again. I'd say either don't listen for a while (what I would recommend) or if you insist, listen at relatively quiet level with regular breaks to let your ears...

I haven't really compared the iFi Hip DAC with any of its competitors, but I was impressed with it when I got it. But now that I actually read that you're looking for a sound that is not at all coloured, I wouldn't go for it since the iFi Hip DAC has the iFi Signature sound, which is slightly...

They're almost always class AB, though Topping has managed to create some Class D speaker amps which measure great too. Though it's not impossible to create a Class A amplifier which measures well especially if you use an op-amp input stage (where the vast majority of negative feedback can be...

In that price range I'd probably go for the iFi Hip DAC, I quite like mine

Hi guys, as promised I'm going to share my impressions of the GS-X Mini. Chain is Modius -> GS-X Mini/Phonitor/Jotunheim 2 -> numerous headphones but mainly HiFiMan Arya V2 So after volume matching them fairly closely with a multimeter (within 0.3mv of each other), these were my findings: So...

I want to be completely honest and say that I had you up until you wrote "so-called mid 1980's 'Chicago house'" Chicago was the place where House music originated from and it's very well understood to have it's own sound and history - thus why its important to differentiate it as a sub-genre...
