The cable SC4 makes B2 more V-shaped. I prefer better cables with B2.

B2 has 3 nozzles and the sound can be pretty different: from dark and warm to quite bright.

B2 impresses by his deep bass. The bass is most visceral I've ever heard and not such technical as needs for analytical listening. Quite quick and very punchy.

I still don't know of any IEM that can replace Butastur at this price.

Price $165 is not low-end :)

What does the "good" criterion consist of? Maybe that https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzSbtcB

Godspeed! (waving a handkerchief at the station,watching as the train picks up speed)

About H570 was somewhere at start of thread: developer can't ensure reliable supplies of the tips. About cable rolling: you can don't worry about cable, the stock cable is very good and I doubt that you can hear significant difference in sound with apple dongle. Moreover when portability is most...

Aaaa! It's fenomenal!.. Mate! I haven't felt this incredibly giddy since I first heard Flat Earth Society 12 years ago! May Allah prolong your days in happiness and prosperity.

You are absolutely correct. I mean control is choice of AMP and gain level.

I don't know and don't care. I just believe my ears.

I use higher gain for the better performance of sound, not for volume level. Better controlled bass, more smoother treble, more realistic weight of notes, better soundstage and imagine. Sometimes even timbre can become better with higher gain. There's one reservation: high gain is about not only...

LOL Coreir tips price = price of Trio

I'd like to recommend SR5 - neutral unique honey-like semi-mellow, with enough brightness sounding.

What is worth attention - Myer Audio SLIIVO SLT6 - for those who endears almost monitor-like neutrality full of a lot details and at the same time with musicality for different music styles.

Nice mini-review, thank you. I have to admit despite the excellent timbre and rather neutral tonality Butastur isn't all-purpose IEM. Jazz, fusion, classical music sound very good, but heavy styles need other tuning. I have to note also more powerfull and more advanced source can bring much...

The AUX cable looks stiff, so longer is better.

I did check up my midfi: all of my IEMs & DAPs are in their places. :)

Looks great! But dragon live more deeper in rabbit hole :)

SR8 hasn't DD.

My first filter for new IEM - transparency, second - resolution, third - tonal tuning. Then I need good dynamics and details.
