Dropped my S12 from about 20-30cm height on a hard desk surface, one shell popped open :see_no_evil: seems like the adhesive they used just gave up. ambient temp was around 20°C, they were never exposed to extreme cold or hot conditions. For now i'm using external tape to keep the halves...

Interesting :eyes: do you also plan a 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm 5pole adapter and could that be a sleeve-like solution that allows a less bulky addin? Any info on power ratings and playback times?

I'm hearing a difference with my LetShuoer s12. 2.5mm + hi gain > 2.5mm + lo gain > 3.5mm Totally unscientific and cable/differences in volume levels may play a role too, but i don't care. It sounds better to my ears/brain and thats what counts.

got the s12 today. Using them with r3pro saber, balanced cable and xelastic tips. Without eq they felt a little harsh, adding MSEB with +20 bass extension, -10 HF Sibilance and they are about perfect for me right out of the box (maybe 4h of listening now). One thing i noticed is that they do...

received them and just in case anyone stumbles on this thread later, 10/10 would buy again. Lovely combo. Can be a bit bright if you are sensitive but the good news is they do respond very well to EQ (can turn them into absolute bass monsters if you like that)

So i'm not alone :relieved: The audio outs are on the wrong side of the player too i think. I use it in 2 ways. 1) Player lies on my desk. To operate the screen the ports face away from me which requires the headphone cable to route around the player. If its a straight plug that puts some...

Is there a case for the r3 pro that has a clip to attach it to a waistband/belt/pocket or has someone modded the included clip-on shell and can recommend a clip for that?

lmao, it is the '+'... and you know what, uri-encoding it with %2B works.... :see_no_evil: https://github.com/vext01/hiby-issues/issues/45

the '+' is in the username, eg. mygmail+tidal@gmail.com that can't be changed. i tried a password without special chars (just a-z0-9) but same outcome

Received a hiby thor today as part of a bundle with r3 pro saber. very first impression is "bright, lacks bass". Which i would attribute to them being quite tiny (they are my first bullet-style iems and if thats how all of them sound also my last :wink:) The nozzle is 5mm wide and the included...

Got an r3 pro saber today, updated to firmware 1.7 via file on sdcard. Trying to log into tidal gives me an error with "Username or password incorrect". I'm confident they are correct, signing in to the same account with the android app from the same wifi works. Added an empty "debug_info.txt"...

thanks :thumbsup: got the S12 - but ultimately went with a fixed 2.5mm2pin cable https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000379180295.html

ordered one here https://store.hiby.com/products/hiby-r3-pro-saber , it comes with their bullet-style "thor" iems but i'd like to use the balanced 2.5mm out and i'm afraid they'll send the thor with a 3.5mm plug and not sure bullet style is for me. previously i used shure se215 and nicehck n3...

offering a way to install rockbox would be even better :D

ahhhhhh. I saw the topic and the picture and thought "finally someone made a worthy successor to the sansa clip". After seeing the dimensions of this and that it still uses a touchscreen i am disappointed. dear shanling. please consider an m0 sized device without touchscreen, maybe just...

Slightly OT. I got this player (8GB black) over 10 years ago and just came back from the gym with it. If it ever dies im going to be very sad. Been looking for backup/replace but nothing comes close in terms of sq/formfactor/software (rockbox). Back to topic It drives my nicehck n3 pretty well...

Any info on the eq implementation? Is it fully customizable/parametric or just 10 fixed bands with customizable dB value?

Thanks for your measurements. I also removed the 8k and like your 2k and 4k values.. but 6k -3db q1 takes away too much for my ears...

yeah, but i wonder a little bit if this is due to the measuerment equipment somehow. The other posted graph for the trn h1 by @darmanastartes also has a double peak in the 2-5khz range followed by a huge dip to 8khz with a small plateau around 6-7khz. Given that the trn h1 has a very different...

based on this graph i added a little eq to the n3: freq db q 250 +1.0 0.7 500 +2.0 0.7 750 +1.0 0.7 2000 -1.0 3.0 4000 -1.0 4.5 8000 +5.0 6.4 made them sound a bit richer edit: increased q values a lot after listening to some sweeps. Still shows some variance above 9k

I could only speculate about any sound signature changes, so if they changed at all its only very minor. comfort wise i'd say if the se215 is a 9.5/10 the n3 gets 8/10. But this is only in my ears. The shures should fit almost every ear, while the n3 can cause problems with tighter ear canals or...

I don't really see the volume change as negative right now... both sides seem to be the same level (tested with my ears and by holding them against my smartphone mic with audiometer app). the raster is standard 5mm paper, first 2 pics with my phone, last one with camera. Sorry not much time...

The n3 got louder after 10-15h of use. I am now down to -35db for comfortable listening. The right earpiece has very loud driver flex, the left one none at all :confused: Insertion took some getting used to, it's more of a straight push than the "plug and twist" approach i used for the se215...

i guess the higher impedance is due to the piezo tweeter. there is a small difference in volume level when swapping the se215 with the n3... for similar listening volume i have to use -30db for the n3 where i use -32db for the se215. Another thing i noticed with the n3 is that theres sometimes...

just got the nicehck n3 from that twitter deal a few pages back. only 2 weeks from china to germany despite new years :) Thanks Jim! first impressions: Packaging: small basic box, i like it... i don't want/need fancy packaging Accessories: eartips: silicone 3 white sml, 1 gray m, nothing...
