I’ll be adding this to my collection. The i3 Pro is a great set. I’m curious to hear how they’ve approached this reconfiguration of drivers.

Where?

Fantastic! So, where is the Timeless II?

Absolutism isn’t especially illuminating. Bias impacts EVERYTHING human beings do. There is no such thing as true objectivity. It’s part of YOUR job as a consumer of content to understand that immutable fact and temper your reactions based on it. “You got it free so this review is no longer...

I think this is a little over cooked. I used to review books. The publishers send out tons of copies to reviewers. It didn’t impact my impression of the material. The idea that IEM reviewers are drastically biased because companies send out sample copies that they often don’t charge the reviewer...

The only thing that would make the Liqueur tips better is if the stems were a little longer. They work great on all my sets except for the ones with very short nozzles.

Quintet is still a great choice.

This looks very impressive. Nice price too.

Playing my original heavy solid copper OH10 this week and they are still fabulous. I love them so much. If I wasn’t so neurotic these might be an end game set.

I’m interested in those as well. The i3Pro is a real sleeper in my opinion. A set that’s just on the cusp of greatness.

I have some of those too. I concur. Well built and so far very reliable for me.

Slipped an OFC balanced cable onto the Meze 99 Noir. I’m driving them out of my HiBy R6 2020 and I do think they sound a little more controlled in the low end. The overall sound signature is very lush. I was expecting more of a 7hz Legato level of bass elevation but that isn’t what these are...

Wait wait wait. How exactly am I supposed to rub my financial success in the face of my friends and acquaintances if I can’t blow obscene amounts of money on ridiculously over priced things??

A couple of full sized planar magnetic sets on their preview list? Very interesting.

Yeah, they’ve been very useful to me as well. They seal better than many other tips on most of my sets.

Seems like a great time for closed back sets these days.

The FiiO FF3 is a great place to start with buds. They’re really excellent. If you want more resolution then FF5 has you covered.

Sweet. It’s on the way so I’ll report back when it gets here.

I really like the light blue, and I’m a 60 year old man.

The Meze 99 Noirs are getting nice and worn in. These are really great. I swapped the installed pads for the thinner alternates that come with them and it seems to bring up the treble a little. Both sets sound fine though. The profile is very lush. They’re bass focused for sure but I don’t...

I’ve had the HD650 for years. The HD600 are equally great. Just with a slightly different sound signature.

Listening to the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets with my fresh new set of Meze 99 Noirs. Pretty impressive! A definite step up from the Sivga Robin. They’re bassy and full but not over the top. Overall the Hifiman Edition XS still rules supreme in my stable but the 99 Noir is going to be great as a...

The current CEO places no value on design. He put an operations manager in charge of Apple’s design efforts and hired the guy who invented the E-Trade baby to put in charge of Apple’s ad campaigns. Design has been completely devalued at Apple and the result is these lifeless, featureless and...

No doubt. It’s Apple’s doing. But in the last decade or so Apple has really lost a lot of their design edge. They’ve fallen back on iteration and shied away from anything that pushes the boundaries. It’s similar to what happened to the DSLR market. Canon and Nikon pro DSLR cameras all look like...

I kinda hate how the tech companies dumb the designs of these down so much. They look like featureless marshmallows.
