Is someone able to give me a few thoughts on the Titan vs the Meteor? Trying to decide which one to go for. Thanks!

For the EU people out there, I've listed mine:

Wonderful iem. The only reason I'm selling it is because many of my favorite j-pop songs have innate sibilance in the recording. The small peaks of the Titan brings them a bit forward.
While this may sound bad, be assured that is not an issue at all in music with no innate sibilance. The treble is just bright enough to give a good balance with the bass, but not too sharp nor fatiguing. Spent hours listening metal, rap and EDM.

titan is quite similar to meteor, titan has MUCH more sub-bass.

the only thing you should be aware of is the driveabilty. titan demands a good source that can support the current draw of such a low impedance load (3 ohms).

The Meteor was awesome for the day.

• The Titan is quite a bit larger but very comfortable. Looks like it was modeled after the Helios SE size.
• Staging is larger on the Titan.
• Meteor has recessed mids, while the Titan is neutral.
• Note definition on the Titan is miles ahead.
• Titan scales with your chain. Meteor does not.
• Titan has got a lot more on both the low and high ends.

Personally.

• If I don't have either. I will buy the Titan.
• If I have the Meteor. I will consider an upgrade to the Titan.

Really appreciate the response. And how do you rate Singularity against them? I am a sucker for a good single DD.

Great info, appreciate it!

i prefer singularity over titan since my library is quite mid-bass heavy. some might feel that mid-bass can skew a iem towards muddiness but i think singularity is really well controlled.

if you're looking for something that's more technical i think singularity might not be the move; titan/helios would be a better choice.

Not sure if I commented on your Titan before but that's a really nice faceplate gacha.

I just bought a Titan off the used market and got it today. So far, it sounds bassy, clear and smooth, just like the box says.

I dig it so far. It's fun and surprisingly very listenable. When a song calls for the bass boom, it delivers without compromising the midrange and treble.


Here's my squigs and how they look versus two of my favorites:

I noticed my Titan faceplates have a very nice pattern compared to my Crimson.

Very nice!

I’m waiting for a pair to go up on the used market at a good price, trying my best to be patient

What genres do you listen to that are mid bass heavy? We might be on the same wave length.

Another random graph comparison. I had the FatFreq Maestro SE on loan last week and just received my Titan this week so unfortunately didn't get to compare both side-by-side. They do have a lot of similarities though! The graphs obviously show the traits. I do think the Titan is smoother and intimate, but the Maestro SE has bigger soundstage and instrument separation. I also like the shell design of the Maestro SE a little bit more just because it fits my ears like a glove, but I can also see a lot of people liking the shallower and smaller fit of the Titan over the deep and large fit of the Maestro SE.

I swapped my eartips out for some Azla SednaEarfit Max, they’ve brought the bass forward just a little but more than the stock yellow tips. To my ears this is a positive change, I can recommend trying these tips with the titans
