Member Reviews: Rhapsodio RDB+ Hybrid (2BA + Dynamic driver)

Introduction   The Rhapsodio RDB+ 2v1 (formerly known as RDP+ v2) is the baby brother of the RDB+ v1. It's still a 2xBA & 1xDD but instead of a 10mm driver that the older brother has, it sports an 8mm driver instead. As such the overall shell of the RDB+ 2v1 is smaller.

Rhapdsodio RDB+ vs some current hybrid IEMs. Rhapsodio sent us some gear for the Sydney 2013 Jan meet/to review after. The review skims over some gear used, what I look for in IEM sound [in case it's not what you look for ] a bit of info about Rhapsodio itself, and general/quick info about RDB+, before going into detail, so skip as appropriate if you're not in a reading mood It also includes some musings on accumulated experiences of using custom universals for about a year now, so if you're not into that - my apologies. Likewise, please excuse the the poor pic quality - the ones not supplied by Rhapsodio mostly turned out bad - new camera/last minute pics. [and no appropriate...
