Many Cirrus Logic DACs like SHIO. Probably most iBasso dongles don't hiss. E1DA 9038 got only slight hissing.

First time I read about oily surface being good for seal? :sweat_smile: I think the tips lose grip when they're oily and it gets IEMs dirty more quickly.

SR8 are sensitive IEMs so on some amps it is to be expected. You could use ifi IEMatch or just another amp.

Dongles such as E1DA 9038 with 3.5mm are more than enough to drive HD 620S! Hearing them rn and it sounds good.

Using Coreir brass M tips on Ascension and mid bass doesn't lack at all. SR8 are very good indeed!

Truthear GATE is not bad at all! They're more sparkly and detailed than HOLA, which had too safe tuning. If a recording is bad, you should be able to hear it. On the other hand the GATE shells feel cheaper and less sturdy. Comfort is good and the smooth surface helps to get better grip.

Not only this, but iBasso DC-Elite too. Good compatibility with AüR IEMs. Yes, I shamelessly hype it! :money_mouth: Also great with Aurora.

Using Ascension with SPC cable without Graphene rn. Bass hits more than NP. I'm satisfied with bass on both. NP is more energetic in upper mids and treble, that's what I meant.

I'm using brass. No idea how aluminium is compared to brass.

I'm using Pentaconn Coreir brass tips on NP and Ascension right now. They seal extremely well. NP becomes more engaging and is still not sibilant. Ascension get even more bass thump, but isn't as energetic as NP.

Ascension is up again.

This one!

Didn't Yamaha plan to sell a non SE version of those headphones? I still can't find them anywhere. SE is too expensive.

Terrific in a good or bad way? :thinking: As DMS said they sometimes sound boxy. I'm looking forward to Oratory EQs! Get well. :muscle:

But do you need to remove the cable every time?

I prefer Sennheiser, because Beyerdynamic never changes the earcups. They're that small and narrow since forever. Their headbands are also not that great.

Where did you buy the case from?

Tried Mjolnir 3. This should be more than enough.

Oh come on Sennheiser, couldn't you just add a hardcase to HD 620S so I can safely transport them? Need to buy them separately so you get more :money_mouth: ? Other than that HD 620S got much bbbbb... bassssss! On first impression they sounded a little veiled, but maybe I need to increase the...

Can the waifu on Tangzu XuanNV mitigate the channel imbalance? :sweat_smile: Tangzu Nezha got male instead waifu, so no way I'd buy that! :poop:

Are you going to release a balanced cable for HD 620S? Would it also be compatible to HD 560S?

What IEM are those?!

At least Sharur isn't wrong about NOVA being good. :joy: Though ootb I think Variations is still sounding better, but the price is too high nowadays.

Is the TRN Medusa any good? Tonedeafmonk didn't like them. Truthear Zero Red and Blue should be a lot better? Truthear GATE is up on shenzhenaudio! There are already some reviews like this. He liked the HOLA more, but maybe others will like more treble instead?

What's the sound difference between Coreir Brass and aluminium version?
