Why not just use oratory1990's actual EQ profile? https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets Unless you're aiming for another target curve that is.- az060693

Sony XBA-H1 and XBA-H3 Hybrid Dynamic and BA IEM
I've had the XBA-H3 for several months now and my experience with them has been mixed. The bass is definitely the weakest point on this IEM, it doesn't reach deep enough and there's too much mid-bass bloat. It doesn't straddle the line between boomy and punchy well enough, instead leaning too...- az060693

Review by 'az060693' on item 'JVC HA-FX850'
Build- These things are built extremely well. The earpieces are very solid with no gaps or any manufacturing defects and they’re just plain beautiful to look at. Better yet, they use the popular MMCX connection without any modifications (unlike the Sony XBA-H3 where the connection is recessed)...- az060693

S.M.S.L M2 DAC First Impressions
Well I had this device for a few months with pretty minimal problems. But there were definitely some problems that would make me avoid it. The first is the horrible EMI hissing from the amp and/or dac. I have no electrical engineering knowledge so I don't know what's wrong with SMSL's...- az060693

Review by 'az060693' on item 'Xiaomi Pistons 2.0 MK301'
For the price, the sound quality is truly unbelievable. You won't really believe it till you try it. I've been using cheap IEMs for years now and run a wide gamut of brands in the process. I've had the Meelectronics M6 and M9, Skullcandy Ink'd, Sennheiser CX400, Ultimate Ear 500, Samsung...- az060693

Review by 'az060693' on item 'Sony XBA-H3 In-ear'
EDIT- I've done a comparison between these and the JVC HA-FX850. http://www.head-fi.org/products/jvc-ha-fx850/reviews/13420. Also, I've tried these with Comply isolation tips and done the tape mod now. There is a huge difference with the comply and a small one with the tape. In my opinion, these...- az060693

Review by 'az060693' on item 'Ultimate Ears 500'
I'm giving these a 4 based on sound quality alone. I'm a cheap headphone user; I've gone from cheap headphone to cheap headphone over the past decade or so. I started with the Skullcandy Ink'd headphones, moved onto the Sennheiser CX400s, then the Meelectronics M6 and M9, and finally, this. I've...- az060693
