Nice reviews. They all agree on the comfort factor being supreme. 100% confident that in terms of comfort/audio quality ratio, nothing else even comes close to these.

Personally I’d just want a XS Tip but that’s not a standard so I understand

I’d also say Dunu DK / Luna are also very comfortable

Brent Butterworth (a veteran reviewer) just gave these a big thumbs up in his review, comparing them with the JVC HA-FW01, Meze Rai Penta and Campfire Audio Solaris and he thought that these compact 1DD IEMs went toe-to-toe with the Solaris!

I love this combo! Technics EAH-TZ700 x Eletech Socrates

BTW, I've noticed the EAH-TZ700 sold in Japan has a little difference in the spec. I'm curios whether there is also a difference in terms of the sound signature. (I've asked but I couldn't get the clear answer from the Technics support.)

Global model:
- Impedance: 37 Ω
- Sensitivity: 102 db/mW

Japan model:
- Impedance: 19 Ω
- Sensitivity: 108 db/mW

That is interesting....

Why did you upgrade the cable? Is it more comfortable or less microphonics when you wear it cable down?
Generic question for users of this IEM: How deep does everyone insert it?

> Why did you upgrade the cable?
Because:
1. I prefer pre-formed earhook style cables for less microphonics and more stable fit.
2. I wanted a cable with a 4.4mm plug to connect directly to the DX220Max.
3. In addition to that, I aslo expected some sound improvements like fuller presentation, more vocal oriented signature, and so on.

I've tried several copper, silver-coted copper, silver, and hybrid cables. And finaly I found the "Socrates" copper cable to be perfect for me.

Just ike this picture.

Thanks!
So you wear it over the ear?
Seen that picture before but given the angle it’s hard to judge how deep it is

Yes, the logo is upside down though. The L-size oval earpieces are perfect match to my ears.

Doesn't this invert the sound stage/imaging? These earphones are designed to be worn conventionally with the cable hanging straight down. Now sounds that you should hear as coming from above will sound as if coming from below, likewise for left and right.

Sorry if that was dumb, I've heard that this is not supposed to matter with earphones, but I wouldn't want to take my chances. Never really tested this myself.

 

[ChrisHeld1989]

Test it! This would never happen. But this would be funny, of course. Male vocals sounds like female, bass sounds like highs and so on.

No, the sound stage/imaging are quite natural and great as normal style. It may be because this one is a simple 1 dynamic driver IEM??

lol that's obviously not what I meant but point taken.

Yeah it being a single DD is probably what makes it not matter, I guess I was thinking of multi driver designs, but who knows maybe even for those it doesn't make a difference?

 

[februaryair]

how is the bass?
