Fantastic. The original Tin Hifi P1 Max was not only technically excellent but, from a tuning perspective, had a subdued yet clear upper-mid range. The resultant sound was one that you could enjoy the entire spectrum. For those who enjoy planar bass, this tuning allows you to turn up the volume...

Akros just dropped this review on the Shozy P20, but he goes in-depth into a really useful comparison of a number of sets, including the Artti, Klanar, Nice HCK, P1 Max, MP145, etc. As a reviewer he is on point, and he isn't just championing expense sets, he tries to be objective using both...

Mine was held together with glue before it was lost. I am very happy with my Quintet as a replacement/alternative (tracks similar to Dusk2 with a unique driver config). The Kiwi Ears is cheaper, simpler but sturdy build, has a lip for ear tips, and is smaller and sits flush in the ear for in-bed...

Found your review useful ahead of purchasing these, especially as I owned the FH5S prior and it was great reading your comparisons between these. The Fh5S indeed has incredible bass, I think in part due to its semi-open back design. I actually loved the FH5S signature but wanted to see it go to...

To this day, the HD700 is one of the most comfortable over-ear headphones designed, even more so than the HD800. The HD700 was also incredible for gaming as well. It has a coloured response, but still quite an enjoyable presentation. Currently, I have the 660S, which I feel gels the easy...

Kiwi Ears Quintet Impressions Have had the Quintet for over a week. Early impressions are highly favourable. This is an outstanding IEM. Coming from a Blessing 2, Focal Utopia, HD600 and many other references I can say that the Quintent is neutral, but is more vivid. However, this vivid aspect...

Going to say the ER2SE is a fine a choice, even though I've never owned a set, I've had Etymotic ER4SR, ER2XR, 4XR, HF3, HF5, 4S. For jazz/classical, you don't need to be overwhelmed by bass. And the ER2SE tuning will be a better choice than the ER2XR. Better yet if you can get a ER3SE the...

I'm glad to see this thread still going ~7 years after I started it. The fact that so many of you are enjoying the HD250 is a testament to its sound quality and ruggedness.| I've more or less stopped the endless rotation of headphones I once enjoyed years back, and just settled on a handful of...

I've owned the S12 and I also have the HM20 for reference. I highly recommend the TinHifi P1 Max Panda. It has such a great relaxed tuning, with plenty of warmth in the bass bleeding into a bit of the lower mid-range. Upper mids are dialed back, with a well extended treble. Combined with the...

CCA HM20 Review and Impressions of this budget 'Flagship' IEM (copied from discovery page post here) After some anticipation, I finally got my hands on a CCA HM20, and they did not disappoint. I had the opportunity to compare them to a range of other headphone sets such as the KBear...

@vincentshinjiru I've written a short review on the CCA HM20. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-discovery-thread.586909/page-5561#post-17651350 There aren't many IEMs that can pull off the upper-mid through treble range with clarity, control and accuracy, and surprisingly this budget set...

CCA HM20 Review and Impressions of this budget 'Flagship' IEM After some anticipation, I finally got my hands on a CCA HM20, and they did not disappoint. I had the opportunity to compare them to a range of other headphone sets such as the KBear Rosefinch, 7Hz Legato, S12, Cadenza, ER2XR...

Just picked up the 7Hz Legato. *chefs kiss* Early impressions, is this is a very balanced-sounding IEM... even though there is a dominant analog bass characteristic. The bass just washes over you as you sink further and further into the Legato's depths. Subterranean, yet clear, not harsh. The...
