The TF10 is pretty good, I would rate it above the X10 but a little below the W3. I really doubt we'll be seeing a TF10 deal again this black friday, though, now that it has been officially discontinued for more than a year. Plus, both the TF10 and W3 tend to be more v-shaped while the X10 dips down in the treble. If you like the dull-ish treble of the X10 these others might not be such a good fit.
can someone take a look? im rlly noobish
ill keep browsing this thread to try to learn more
Joker great thread , i keep coming back and reading your reviews 3 years now.
I have a question . I own the re262 and re272 and i love both very much - amped with my arrow 4G they both sound terrific , especially for the money i spent to get them (50$ for the 262 -dont'a sk how , and 150$ for the 272)
My question is , which one would you pick as a worthy upgrade if i decide to kill my wallet once more ? let's stay up to 400$ , cause after that limit we enter CIEMs territory (the final destination remains the JH13 which must sound just like i want my fantasy iem to sound)
I like a sound that is balanced but not completely sterile , as you can see by my preference for 262/272 , and it should be something significantly better than those 2 iems in order to justify shelling out that much money (i wish i was rich like all these people who own 3-4 1000$ iems lol)
Thanx again and keep up the great work here
Hey guys, could someone give me a comparison of the fidelio s1 vs re-400. My ideal iem would be rivaling a dba02/b2, but with a slight decrease in treble
I listened to a basshead iem for a few days. When I got back to my neutralish iem's I missed the low end on them, they have now less/zero bass quantity. They sound little bright. This was a few days back, and the problem is still there. (I listen to music at low volume: 5-7/30.)
It is hearing loss at the low spectrum, or it is my brain that plays with me?
Have you try InEar StageDiver 2/3 ?
Will you add this brand in your review?

It's your brain. Spend a week listening only to your balanced earphone and when you go back to the bass-heavy one it'll sound overly bassy again - maybe not as much as before, because your expectations have changed, but more so than now.
This is one of the reasons headphone/audio comparisons from memory tend to be unreliable, and also one of the potential contributing factors to "burn-in".
Yes on both counts. The SD-2 and SD-3 are currently over at InnerFidelity being measured and reviews will be published once I get them back.
Just FYI, there is a partial (and very optimistic...) list of upcoming reviews on the front page of this thread:
