And me saying: No rush on any of these though, I'm basking in my Himalaya at the moment. 100%, there's something addictive with the Himalaya... E.g. can't replay Stevie Wonder's Too High often enough with them :k701smile:

Exactly how you set it, hehe... I finally ended up in all switches up [UUUU], which gives max bass and all so slightly reduced highs. I also leave it now in this position.

More than the Pula 02 (Myer D41) ?? You sir got me truly interested.

Sorry double post

Did a quick first impression on them and some follow up posts in the KZ thread recently... Price/performance another no brainer from KZ... gotta catch them all! 🤣

For me, I just received the NiceHCK Himalaya 2 days ago, like them a lot so far... and in arrival I have the "obvious hype train purchase", the DUNU DaVinci, but also I eagerly await the Myer Audio Sliivo SL-41 MkII. Still on my short list is the Tanchjim Origin and the AFUL Explorer... let's...

DAART Yulong Asura Just found it on HiFiGo... looks veeery interesting from the built in specs, but also the price (€ 1.192,94) is definitely not a steal. Anyone out there knowing more about it?

Gave you a like anyway, but especially because I wanted to bring you to 50K likes, congrats!

"recently" is relative, but the iBasso DC Elite might be a good choice in that regard.

Just to clear that up.No, Bone Conduction sound transmission works of course quite well when you do it right. We make some serious money with it.. but one of our products indeed involves drilling into the skull in, of course, a surgical procedure:scream::skull:, and another one you can actually...

A brother in arms so to say. :beerchug: .. Me, too, I had a lot to do with audiometry in the past.. until about 7 years ago. Now I work in inner ear sciences and development.

Spot on! There might be an audible effect when you have absolute normal hearing and -even with sound isolating BC IEM's- you better be in a quiet environment. If there is "something" it is veeery subtle at best.

I worked 6 years in bone conduction sound transmission medical devices... just saying... Ok, it might give a tiny bit of a more holistic, natural experience, but in an IEM which attaches only to cartilage and thin ear skin, and that without much pressure, there is really too little BC sound...

I hate when super experienced people hype something... it always results in these strangely red numbers on my account and I have no clue what they mean. @Admins: Please put a frickin disclaimer on this thread! ...like "Before entering the Discovery Thread, check your finances!" or "Enter at...

@Redcarmoose Sure I immediately read it when you posted it about an hour ago... I have "only" about 6 IEMs here at the moment, but as I believe, all with more or less "niche tunings"... got bored with "all the same all the time" so to speak... and the Aurora seems to fit into this niche scheme...

Man, I just ordered the DaVinci 2 hours ago and now I want to have this so badly, too. Damn hobby! :sob::dt880smile:

Religion is already here, we have Shiites among our community... and they're actually pretty cool :sweat_smile:

How do you control gain? Which amp or dap do you use? Asking because most dap have 2 or 3 fixed gain settings so you have to live with one of them... And neither might be ideal, e.g. mig gain to weak and high gain produces distortion or other artifacts.... at your preferred loudness level.

Hope you find an awesome fit and sound with one (or more?) of them! Fingers crossed. At least you ordered truly different tips following different "tip philosophies" . This is one important first step into the world of tip rolling. 💪👍... and then some.

Ciao ragazzo, it'sa has nano inside! :beerchug: Joke aside, yes, you're right, 300 for a single DD Chifi is tough... I liked how they were described and after a blind buy, I have to say they're still totally worth these 300... sound perception is, we know it all, extremely individual, but they...

I get the feeling that after the trend of manufacturers to put like 20 BA's 🤯 in IEMs, it's nice to see that there are more and more well implemented 1DDs coming out, and not rarely they blow all these overstuffed animals out of the water according to reviews😆. Nah, maybe I'm getting ahead of...

I guess you refer to the Himalaya, and if so, I just have no other choice as to agree... Even though I have 2 way more expensive IEMs here and tried/sold others. This 1DD with this dual layer carbon nanotube coating thing and the special tuning makes some kind of magic. It is at the same time...

Sure, some IMO different design and material approaches: (I on purpose don't go into length and bore diameter here) Smooth, soft: Divinus Velvet Somewhat sticky: AZLA Clear or XELASTEC JVC Spiral Dots ++ Final Audio Type E DUNU S&S, a rather unusual cylindric design Any "comply" style foam...

Edit: due to bad reception, double post.

I'm a sucker for 1DD's so I wanted to ask if some more people jumped on the INTUAURA Splendor II yet? They popped up on HiFiGo and I tried to find some more info here. Read @Argha's review on them (though they had a different color which HiFiGo doesn't seem to offer) and became interested. Right...
