Hey Sebastien! What time are you landing? Train station is Gare de Lyon?

@DaveStarWalker

You don't need to go back but it's better if you want to have a change in the tuning (you tune it with a Universal pair at the beginning so there might be some changes) or if there is any fit problem. They only ship to a local address. Tuning process is appointment only as you need to have the...

They don't ship outside of Japan, I had to use a forwarder (Tenso)

It was worth the price of the CIEM by itself 😅 There is only one place in Japan where you can do the Just Ear XJE-MH1R. You need to take an appointment (at least one month before) at the Tokyo Hearing Care Center with a Sony engineer that will help you tune your CIEM to your taste. There are 3...

Thank you! It's the Sony Just Ear XJE-MH1R

Just received them from Japan 🤩

Ordered! But it's this one : https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B017A8UJQ4

Brilliant! If they are on Amazon JP then it's not a problem! Thanks Joop!

I doesn't look good https://www.whathifi.com/news/sonos-headphones-news-sonos-has-taken-over-uk-headphones-maker-rha-audio RHA Audio is a UK company. Problem is to find an online shop selling them ...

Thanks! BTW, I'm listening to Pilgrim OG with Eletech Baroque ear tips, it's an excellent pairing. They open the soundstage, tame the trebles and give some boost to bass.

Thanks Joop! You mean this one? https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Density-Double-Designs-Headphones/dp/B015N5MZUY They do not deliver in Europe and 27 USD is a bit expensive for just a pair that I will use ... :laughing: (bi-flange small)

What are the main difference between standard and Noir sound quality wise - apart of the cable?

I really like them very much, they do really bring me joy! They aren't perfect (sometimes a bit bright for my tastes) but not far :laughing: Globally they are very well balanced, very well tuned; it's a very very strong offer at that price!

Does anyone know where I can buy the RHA Audio double flange ear tips online please? I asked RHA who told me : "We regret to inform you that we have ceased trading operations and we no longer have available stock for purchase. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and we sincerely...

Tell me about it! :laughing:

Wonderful! Infinity Plus?

I had a call earlier today from Hans, the founder of Canpur, who wanted to apologies for the delay, the team was travelling butnow my order will be taken care of :relaxed: It was really nice from Hans to call and to have a chat with him! :thumbsup:

It does a very good job and it retrieves all metadata. I slightly prefer ALAC to FLAC, I find that there are more dynamics, but I must admit that may be a bias :laughing:

Thanks @bogdan belonozhko and @Sebastien Chiu for giving us the opportunity to listen to the e10 and e12 ! These two sets are part of the Electron Series from Fir Audio. The e10 is priced at US$ 1.299 and the e12 is priced at US$ 1.799. I very much enjoyed both sets, the e10 are very...

XLD on Mac will do the job and it's free https://tmkk.undo.jp/xld/index_e.html I have also used iTunes a lot, I was ripping in ALAC. Not sure though that the option still exists in Music now.

Effect Audio Cleopatra II Octa

BTW, who's next on the EU tour so I can send the cable.

Thanks @EffectAudio and @Sebastien Chiu to give us the opportunity to listen to these cables! Here are a couple of pictures and my impressions on the Cleopatra II Octa :k701smile: The Cleopatra II is part of the Effect Audio Heritage Series. The first Cleopatra was released back in 2019 and...
