    Review by 'SyntheticShotz' on item 'Trinity - Delta Dual Hybrid IEM'

        Since this would be the second review that I have put a decent amount of effort in, with the Fidue A83 review being the first, I would appreciate any feedback as well as any tips or suggestions so that I can improve the quality for future reviews.           Earlier this year (2015), the...

    Massdrop AKG K812 Giveaway! - COMPLETE!

    My Massdrop name is SyntheticShotz   I'm interested in seeing more portable audio products, mainly dacs, amps, and audio players. I'd also like to see some IEMs from Aurasonics.

    I also would like to note that the locking mechanism in the A83's stock cable makes it harder to get the desired angle, my Shure cables with the memory wire work pretty well since it lets the A83 swivel to the right angle.

    It really depends on whoever is listening to the A83. I find the bass and treble elevated, but the midrange only having a small v-shape. Compared to the Earwerkz Supra 2 (close to neutral sound signature), the A83's mids are a little less full and more laid back in comparison. I personally find...

    I don't think the presence of driver flex itself is a problem with IEMs. However, in Elric's and Jimmy's cases, they seem to have much bigger issues. I personally would try to talk with JCN and reiterate that the driver flex is abnormal to a problematic extent (so your driver flex is different...

    Review by 'SyntheticShotz' on item 'Fidue A83 Reference Class Triple Hybrid IEM'

            I am open to any suggestions or feedback about my writing or the way I present this review, and will try to improve based on any feedback you have.           It was early December, 2014, when I lost my IEM due to a washing machine. Later that month, I believed I could fare traveling...

    I believe I have version 2 (locking tab with chin slider) and I have the same issue as you, where the connection was loose. I did cut off the locking tabs, but wiggling the A83 doesn't cause the cut outs. I've been using a Shure cable for over four months now and no issues other than the need to...

    The FiiO X1 Discussion and Help and Support Thread |192K/24B|100mW | LO | inline remote

    I kept my X1 with the carbon fiber sticker inside the rubber case for my first week of use, so I didn't have any problems with the skin peeling off. The only solution I have is to use a hair dryer and blow hot air on the areas that are peeling, although it's less effective if you don't try it...

    The FiiO X1 Discussion and Help and Support Thread |192K/24B|100mW | LO | inline remote

    Are you talking about the decorative stickers for the body of the X1? My carbon fiber stickers lasted for a few months, then I ripped them off in panic after the player went through a washing machine (the stickers were intact). Not sure if they would wear off because I never gave it a chance to...

    $2500 budget. Need help deciding gaming PC or headphone setup

    Agreed. The more expensive parts provide diminishing returns in terms of price vs. performance, and may even become less expensive and/or replaced with a new product. I've had my AMD Radeon 7970 for two years and two new series of cards have come out (the R7/9 200 and 300 series). While I don't...

    EarWerkz "Supra" The Universal Custom In-Ear Monitor

    Yes, it was mainly the impressions process that made me think about a longer wait (and how some CIEM companies have really long wait times compared to Earwerkz).

    EarWerkz "Supra" The Universal Custom In-Ear Monitor

    Thank you both, @sleepingforest and @moedawg140. I'll try to ask Jack about the rush topup so I don't have an IEM sitting inside my house for two months. :P   P.S. The order is a universal and I was well aware that customs took longer.

    Wiggling the cable helps me eliminate the problem. The causes of the sound cut-outs have varied over this week, from moving my head a specific angle to cutting out whenever I smile while putting it on (although that's with different eartips that easily cause driver flex as well). I just switched...

    EarWerkz "Supra" The Universal Custom In-Ear Monitor

    Does anyone know if the turnaround time of 10-15 business days applies to the Supra as well? I placed an order in the 18th (after hours) and maybe should have gotten the rush option if it doesn't arrive by June 3 due to an overseas trip (bad planning on my part).

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Has anyone attempted to use the X5's USB DAC feature through an Android phone? The X5 simply charges from my phone when I hook up the USB OTG cable to the phone (they are both on the supported devices list on the USB Audio Player Pro website).

    When I get a haircut, everything's fine. But my hair grows less than two weeks back to the point where I'll want it cut again to maintain my original haircut and slows down after that. After spending a summer with the M50x, I find the headphones to be great ear warmers and perfect for travel...

    FIDUE A83 impressions and discussion thread

    Thanks @Midgetguy! I actually have a trip in a few weeks and this will help greatly. I'm sure it'll also help me throughout this year, where I'll use the A83 when it's not that loud since headphones are ruining my hair whenever it grows out (which is very quickly) and I'll only be using...

    @Midgetguy, do you think that the Earwerkz Supra 2 has enough isolation for an airplane flight (universal version)? I'm picking up another IEM to back up the A83 for isolation with a sound that I can still enjoy (based on the descriptions of the reviews).

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    I also want to congratulate you for your review like the two others above. Great review and I did not expect all that information (like Massdrop's history). I'm finding the K7xx's a very nice upgrade from the Ath-M50x without other options costing upward from $250 or more.

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    Yeah, these headphones are selling like crazy. If you go to the Massdrop discussion thread, the entire front page is filled with people who didn't even get the chance to see the "Join Now" button and almost 500 requests for the product less than 6 hours later. I'm thinking the fact that the 7xx...
