I have to say I love the Beats X. Never thought I would love anything with the name Beats on them, but the X does a fabulous job as a daily driver. I am actually using them with JVC Spiral Dot tips, medium. Just awesome. The sound is actually balanced, with a slight bump in the 50-70 hz range...

I should say rather, I liked it, did not love it...(yet) Some of the IEMs in my collection have taken a while for me to appreciate their SS. (JH Roxanne being one of them. The K10 definitely bests the Roxanne.) The K10 is very respected in my collection, just not getting the use I thought it...

Own the K10 universal, as well as some other quality universal monitors. Was not very impressed by the K10 with alot of factors. The universal model is very generic to the fit of the ears, moreso that other universals. The metal also creates issues of fit and comfort. When I get the K10 to stay...

Same here. As much as I don't want to, I can't take the U12 out of my ears. If I heard this a few years ago, I never would have spent the money on the other $1000+ iems. Simply stated, there is beauty in the balanced sound of the U12. 

1. 1964 Adel U12 Universal (The best thing that's touched my ears) 2. UM Mentor Universal (Crystal clear; clarity and soundstage are it's strong point) 3. Noble Audio K10A Universal (Balanced...big/heavy/bulky casing...) 4. Aurisonics ASG-2 (Love this...) 5. Shure SE 846 (Sub-bass is...

Owning both the U12 and K10UA, I feel the exact same way. Exact. 

Honestly, the stock cable works wonderfully compared with other cables I've tried. At this point, my view of cables are purely for aesthetics, not really an improvement of sound.

I agree.

I agree with organic, warm, and lush. Such a pleasing sound. 

Mine comes hiss free. I am lucky. But I hear that sometimes you can hear hissing...even at lower volumes.

Most wives hear more hiss, is not this true? 

I am still in the midst of testing and comparing my u12 vs the competitors...personally, the u12 is amazing. It is hitting every single aspect of sound I could ever desire. It is neutral to my ears while still having a personality. Amazing soundstage and imaging. I am not new at all to the iem...

Said it a few times here...moon audio has horrible customer service and consideration. They truly just want your money. Had three poor experiences myself and constantly read other unfortunate consumers experience here.

was a busy week. looking forward to moving forward with my review. this weekend should be good with the snow and all.

Well....goodbye to this thread. Fender now owns Aurisonics.

Same thing happened to me with the UM Mentor Universal. Not the most settling feeling when things like this happen effortlessly, and that goes for any IEM above the $1000 price range.

The supplied tips with the k10 work great. Test those out. I would also highly recommend Spinfit and then Sprial dots. Both get amazing reviews. Just don't make the same mistake I made and push the tip all the way in past the nozzle. Attach the tip just so a seal is secured. I find that the tips...

Using a theorem 720 with flac and 320. Even using it out of an iPhone 6+ sounds amazing.

Yes. When using cans, there is virtually no hiss. With high gain and complete silence in the background you may notice. I use the 720 with both iems and cans.

Or you could have purchased on Black Friday. Was around 1300 new.

The k10 if anything is only emotive! I love that this is what it is. People may complain about nothing glaring out, but that is a good trait in terms of musicality. I can understand why in one of the better reviews I've read this year why the k10 was stated as being like "water" and formless. It...

I do hear hissing definitely. But It is there when I have no music playing. When there is music playing, even at low volumes the hiss is non-existent.

The comparison I make will be pure in a sense that both iems have under an hours use. I have not let the sound completely burn-in psychologically. Comparisons will be less biased, even though that will not affect my reviews in general. No one is paying me. I love and use all iems in my...
