    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    As I didn't completely gave up to try to find some uses for my Enigma AMT + Dual Electrostatic, so I tried last week end : -> a monster tips rolling to try to find a combination to avoid totally the driver flex issue (I own something like a 50 or 60 types of tips and size) and find the best...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    Is it a significant step up from WM1A concerning sound quality ? ... I hesitate to jump to this, as I am afraid not to be able to catch any real sound improvement from the WM1A.. As there is not 4G anyway in the WM1ZM2, I think, I will still need to use my smartphone to access on the way to my...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I just bought the Sleep A20 (I also own 2 x sleepA10) and A20 are incredible for sleeping with a nearly 9 hours continuous playing time which is perfect for reading or watching TV and falling asleep every night. I have 2xA10 as they could only handle 4 hours which is not sufficient for my use...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    On my side, unfortunately, I gave up trying using the Enigma AMT + due to : -> too narrow stage width, (compared to my 2 Sony's reference IER-Z1R/M9) -> missing too much details in mid high and high frequencies (again compared to my Sony's reference), -> when I am lying down, I have too...

    RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis

    I am wondering if there are some improvement with such type of tests compared to ancient Raal's SR1A headphones.. Which is really too far from my expectations at such price and fully untransportable system at home. To tell the truth, I am impressed by such type of results in any type of...

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    Unfortunately, I tried it, I agree for SQ there is absolutely no doubt that there is huge gap between IER-M9 and 100% of TWS available in 2024 .. but a DAP+Cable+IEM can be real a pain to be used outdoor (street, train, planes, Airports, Stations) => so these days, I prefer to use a TWS like...

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    My actual ranking, based on my most used IEMs for a while .. by a significant margin after many years 1. IER-Z1R then for sleeping 2. IER-M9 3. Sleep A20 for trips 4. Aviot TE-ZX1 PNK ....I didn't use the next one for almost more than a year, but I would still enjoy them if I had to do. 5...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    Strange, on my side, I get some of the best tips results with Sony's ML silicon tips... but I get even some more comfort with MAX ASMR (a bit softer in the ear canal) when they fully are inserted on the nozzle of Z1R (Large Size).. both types of tips offer a perfect seal with very nice ultra...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I use almost every day a IER-Z1R at office and IER-M9 for sleeping ... I apply some PEQ with PowampEQ to adjust a bit sound quality to my personal taste with M9 (a low shelf under 80hz). I would think like you, that M9 can offer really good low frequencies, though IER-Z1R is still a little...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    Probably due to Apple first and then other the biggest android firms .. but BT items took the lead because most of smartphones don't have any plug for IEM anymore .. so people need to buy at least USB dongles which is far from being convenient particularly while charging the smartphones at...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I am really afraid, that when Sony quits a tech (as they do for decades) .. they never come back again... I suppose they consider IEM market became really tiny and is almost dead. They seem to concentrate on TWS and Wireless Headphones only for a while.. for Europe there are almost no wired IEM...

    Flagship 10 Knowles BA FA19 Is Officially Released

    I was thinking, with the serious FIIO, that the FA19 would be a solid full BA IEM with a kind of step up for sound quality compared to my actual rather old IER-M9/IER-Z1R/XBA-N3 combo.. I am still wondering why BA needs to be implemented with so many drivers to be more or less efficient .. why...

    Sony IER-M9 impressions thread

    I own IE900, IER-Z1R, M9 and N3 .... IER-Z1R is still impressive with the hugest sound stage of all IEM I own, IER-M9 is not so far behind in all aspects and makes me wonder why full BA like M9 are underrated for lows.. (So, I am interested in FIIO FA19 now) M9 is really comfortable, even for...

    Flagship 10 Knowles BA FA19 Is Officially Released

    I am afraid the FA19 are too big for my ears, but as I am really loving the full BA IER-M9 (just a bit behind the hybrid IER-Z1R sound quality), it's possible that FIIO could reach same sound quality as Sony if not better.. I feel really strange and just wonder why IEMs need so many drivers in...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    Years after Years IER-Z1R is still my favorite IEM with (M9) .. I tried and bought so many IEMs, but none can resist to an A/B comparison with Z1R (highs and ultra lows). I went the opposite way as you and prefer to use some larger tips very deeply inserted on the IER-F1R nozzles (with pushing...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Oups .. I was thinking about TWS because of comparing with ZX1-PNK which is a TWS .. Sorry for my mistake. Actually, though I use in planes the Technics A800 .. I prefer the ZX1-PNk too over any BT headphones for musical qualities.. for ANC efficiency modern BT headphones are far ahead.

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I still own both .. and stopped using 1000XM5 ..as the ZX1-PNK : ->is a bit nearer to decent IEM sound quality than Sony.. -> the Battery playing time is far longer with ZX1-PNK too (by at least 2 hours more) -> Sony's LC3 codec doesn't increase playing time nore sound quality is not really...

    Look! MOONDROP's First HiFi Smartphone, MIAD01

    In 2024 .. all DAPs are basically missing 5G for comfortable streaming providers access on the way or even to access our personal music streaming servers (Bubble Upnp) .. this smartphone is an interesting way to do this (with access through android 13 to powerampEQ or wavelet)... But .. it's...

    Comment by 'newworld666' in item 'Cayin N3Ultra'

    I couldn't get the answer anywhere, but I am afraid that this device is build with some obsolete hardware with an obsolete android version which will make impossible : -> to use some UAC 2.0 feature (like headset command with the N3 ultra is set as DAC receiver) -> to use 1.5 Tb sandisk micro SD...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I think I own them already and tried without success.. I can't remember if I got them with the Zetian WU or Princess Changle I bought.. It seems, in my case, to be far better with Comply Foam though some flex are still present when I lay down. I think I will have to look with the different...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Unfortunately .. I understood that there are no real universal tips on the market, in my case, each type of IEM or TWS, I own and use, needs a specific ear tip, to get perfect seal, length, comfort, and the proper bore to get the best sound quality... and very often I need to add some serious...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I ordered them this morning just after your suggestion .. TRI Clarion Silicone Earphone Eartips 3 Pairs For Nozzle 4.5mm-5.5mm .. they should be in my house before 10 days. I want to know, as I like silicon tips usually.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I didn't know that, so I will have a look .. Yes, maybe choosing the proper nozzles should be a way to fix this issue, though this afternoon I am using some Comply Foam which, which seems at least to avoid the flex issue while moving my jaw... which is a first reassuring good step. next step...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I will probably do .. Basically, I just wondered if it was only me or if other had it too and could find a way to avoid this issue.. I am just trying now some comply foam tips with a decent seal for me... and I will see how it goes. I really would like to keep a perfect seal to improve low...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I am getting a little bit upset with the drivers flex noise issue ... Do other Enigma AMT+ users suffer from this issue too ? I tried many tips, but when it's perfectly sealed in my ear canal, I couldn't find any that doesn't make any noise when I even just move my jaw a bit too much and it's...
