If the new pads are on the site, I'd pad roll. Fuzzy have been my favorite so far.- SemperMalum

I have my desktop set up in my office which isn't my primary (just a laptop to Fiio K11) but my primary set up is what I call my humble audio corner. Turntable, WiiM mounted on the back, everything mounted in the cubby with everything hooked up to my Archel 3 Pro.- SemperMalum

Audio Technica makes some of the best looking wood cup headphones. The W2022 are my all time favorites.- SemperMalum

The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
I was listening to the Moondrop S8 before my Xuan NV came in, I was surprised at how the BA handled bass. It's super fast so some songs can sound a little bit anemic at times but others sounded great/fuller than it seemed like it should.- SemperMalum

The Xuan NV is super comfortable balanced sound. I think if you had a large collection, it may not make sense since it won't excel in any one thing but if you wanted something that's a step up, IMO, I like it. I also haven't tried the trio though.- SemperMalum

FATfreq Impressions Thread - Bass Cannons and More
Tips look like Dunu S&S - very good set of tips, comparable to the Divinus Velvet or Type E just with a different fit.- SemperMalum

Thankfully, it's not that recessed in this case (they work well with my other cables) but yeah, it's definitely not that same style.- SemperMalum

Just swinging by, been meaning to work on a Dusk review but I've been dragging my feet on really getting impressions on all the presets. But, in the mean time, I got the Xuan NV and have been floored by how much I enjoy them. So, yeah, here's my Review in case anyone's interested.- SemperMalum

Review by 'SemperMalum' on item 'Tangzu x HBB Xuan NV'
TL;DR: Buttery smooth - a new easy to recommend IEM for starters (that can afford to drop the extra $) Overview/History Hi all. Welcome to another probably long winded review. Going to plaster the disclaimer early! Disclaimers: This is my own personal unit. I've followed HBB on YT and other...- SemperMalum

The 400se is damn good for the price point. I think if you're looking into getting a planar set of cans, you'd be hard pressed. It would probably also depend on what your sound preference is too since there's a lot of amazing headphones in that price range.- SemperMalum

I tried the Fiio KA11 and while it's really good, I had a lot of issues with mine cutting out completely (no audio) even while it was powered. Ended up returning mine. YMMV but just don't get rid of the box.- SemperMalum

Moondrop in-ear monitors Impressions Thread
I rolled with the Dunu S&S and the Final Type E, they really do clean up and respond accordingly to tip rolling. Found the Dunu S&S was more balanced but Final Type E had the better fit for me.- SemperMalum
