    I’m a little confused how vocals can sound both “shouty and distant”

    The Single DD: I've listened to over 20 earphones ranging in price from $30-$1500, and in just about every conceivable configuration of DD, BA, EST, Planar and BC. I've found each driver type has its pros and cons. A lot of earphones try to token the benefits of different drivers by using them...

    @kaavik47 I use CTM dual flanges. I find the deeper you seat them the more details are brought out. The sound and stage cylindrical ones that came with with set work well too, but I didn’t find them very comfortable.

    DUNU SA6 vs Thieaudio Oracle

    I tend to agree. While in this hobby we often chase sets with the best technical abilities, these often don't sound natural. Personally I place a 90% emphasis on tonality and 10% on technical ability.

    DUNU SA6 vs Thieaudio Oracle

    Nice comparison! I would have liked to see the Oracle MK2 keep a similar tuning to the OG and just repackage it in a smaller shell. I agree with HBB, they turned it into another IEM all together.

    New Arrival of FiiO UTWS5 all over the World

    Thanks for the detailed comparison! I actually already have the 3, and was curious what they improved upon!!

    From memory I think the Blessing 2 had a bit more forward mids and lower treble. The Dunu SA6 Ultra has more elevated bass and much better treble extension.

    Update: ADV Sound cleared inventory and it appears to now be discontinued. A shame, this is one of the most natural sounding units I've heard.

    Ie600 vs u12t and mest mk2

    Passion for sSund made a pretty detailed YouTube video on this subject. Basically the MEST MK2 has excellent soundstage and magical moments, but can be incoherent and a bit distracting.

    Blessing 2 has a thicker nozzle. For me, the OG and Ultra are the most comfortable IEMs I've tried.

    LOL, they are a pretty incredible set. It makes the Moondrop S8 sweat. Honestly a kilobuck contender, if only they made more than 300 units. It'll be interesting to see what the resale price turns out to be.

    The discovery thread!

    I'm excited to hear Super Review's take on this one. It appears to address the clipped treble that hurts the Blessing 2

    Detail retrieval and sound stage are significantly improved. Also I think the mids are a little more lively and less relaxed

    Nice review, I agree with you on the bass being the only weakness (still very good but not on the same level as the mids and treble).

    Prologue I dove into the IEM rabbit hole about 3 years ago. In that time I've been fortunate to listen to over 20 sets ranging from $100-$700 (with a few outliers :smirk:). Among these earphones, the original (OG) DUNU SA6 stuck in my memory for having unusually good dynamics for an all BA set...

    MajorHiFi just published a review. Looks like fit may be an issue for some. I’d like to see sound comparisons with the 7Hz Timeless and Shuoer S12. https://majorhifi.com/muse-hifi-power-planar-review/

    Review by 'SammyG' on item 'LETSHUOER S12 Planar IEM'

    Sound: This is the first exposure I have had to planar IEMs, and I am pretty blown away. They seem to have the punch of single DD, the speed of BA, and the treble extension of ESTs. But, unlike many tribreds, this earphone has no coherency issues as all sound is being produced by a single...

    Review by 'SammyG' on item 'FiiO UTWS3'

    I’ve owned these for about 6 months and am very pleased. I had the TRN BT20s Pro before getting this model. They both approach a true wireless IEM in the same way, but FiiO’s execution is superior in most ways. Here’s how they compare: Sound: Arguably one of the most important characteristics...

    Review by 'SammyG' on item 'Moondrop S8'

    Lets start off with the good. These are among the most beautiful IEMs I've come across. The faceplate is simple and embedded in resin for a seamless and elegant look. The resin is as clear as glass, and it is obvious great attention to detail was made during assembly. If you want a flagship...
