Reply to review by 'DunninLA' on item 'Thieaudio Hype 2'
nice review. I have the Hype2 and ultimately couldn't get along with it for two reasons: 1) it is a little large for my ears, giving discomfort after about an hour, and 2) the midrange was at the same time recessed, but sharp sounding. Not sure if the 17k spike on the graph contributes to...- DunninLA

Reply to review by 'DunninLA' on item 'HiSenior Mega5EST'
@earlybirdthr33 Nothing fancy. I know there are very sophisticated parametric equalizers. but I'm just using a basic 11 band macEQ, a free EQ download for macbooks. And yes, I pull up a graph of the Mega5est, such as the one on HBB's squiglink, and pull up my Canon2 graph on the same...- DunninLA

wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems as good a place as any. Just watche the headphones.com youtube quick long term review of this IEM. Made me curious about relaxed pinna gain Since I like forward vocals so much, never occurred to me I might like that signature. So, went to my...- DunninLA

Like your review format very much. Only addition I would make is to make general comparisons to perhaps 2-3 more IEMs... not many have the EPZ530... more had the Timeless 7Hz so that helped.- DunninLA

AÜR AUDIO IEMs
You comment here deserves to be highlighted. It is almost axiomatic in sales/marketing that people generally attribute quality to products based upon list price. The assumption, as with you, is that the higher price, even if not 100% true, means high quality... after all, if people pay it...- DunninLA

The discovery thread!
I think vocals need good energy from about 700 Hz up through about 3k. The timbre is probably defined by 2k - 3k. However, it has to be more complicated than that... really everything affects everything. If you look at FR graphs of Hype2 and Cannon 2, Hype2 *should* have more forward vocals...- DunninLA

The discovery thread!
well, for sure everyone has a unique hearing apparatus, but still let me flesh out what I meant by that comment. First, i'm not the only one who has said that. I was watching a review by Tony (akros) and he said exactly the same thing -- Hype2 has recessed mids. Perhaps our ears are similar...- DunninLA

Ah, well, different strokes, as they say. I've just decided to sell my Hype2 after spending time with Canon 2. We hear the Hype2 midband completely differently. I hear the Hype2, compared to the Canon 2, or EJ07m, or Olina Se, even Hexa, as recessed, stepped back on the stage, veiled. A...- DunninLA

The discovery thread!
I've had the Canon 2 for about 10 hours in ears, and just now went back to the Hype2 to make sure I'm hearing what I think I'm hearing... Yep, Canon 2 crushes Hype2. But not where you might think... not in the bass. Both basses are fine, though I slightly prefer the bass texture of the Canon...- DunninLA

Comment by 'DunninLA' in item 'Yanyin Canon II'
Late to the party but I appreciate the review above and based on them I did buy a pair used off the Classifieds here. I also have the Hype2, but was dissatisfied with the vocals not being forward on stage enough for my taste. My setup is basic, so YMMV. I play only out of an Apple Dac, either...- DunninLA

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
OK so my Canon 2 arrived today, This gave me a chance to weigh the stock cables Olina SE, stock cable, 3.5 2 pin termination: 13.9 grams Hype2 stock cable, 3.5 2 pin termination: 26.6 grams Canon 2, stock cable, 4.4 2 pin termination: 29.1 grams (3.5 termination likely weighs 28 grams)...- DunninLA

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
Hi guys,. Back to ask a question and seek your help. My FirstTouch and SilverCat arrived as I posted above. Sound great. Don't hang great from my ears. Both are oo heavy, too thick, for when I have my phone in my pocket and I'm doing chores around the house. They pull on the IEMs, which...- DunninLA
