Because I owned and tested them. You can test too, various ways. I use both a ferrocell and, more simply, a compass, which is actually very sensitive to magnetic fields. For instance it can be affected up to about 1.5ft feet away from a driver, but a Focal headphones (I had the Utopia) can...

Yes, the tunning and/of housing design is a skill, and help immensely in presentation/character/size of the sonic image. Yet unfortunately, no amount of design and tunning is going to elevate the headphones in resolve and realism. In the headphone world, transducer speed = resolve. For that...

I found the link to the latest AliExpress driver. It is basically a variation/clone of the "ETA Headphones" driver design. I have heard these in a "four bolt" design (bigger) prototype an "ETA headphone" 1.5yr ago, and also bought them from AliExpress, but not used them yet. They are expected...

Both the housing and the baffle plate design of the 7200 is superior to anything similar on AliExpress. I already tried and the design of the 5200,7200,9200 are very well designed to bring out the driver sonically, so yes cheaper driver will sound much better inside the Denon housing. Even the...

That's what happens when you keep seeing new IEMs coming out, so you assume there may be something better. Unfortunately, the actual technology in IEM armatures doesn't keep getting better monthly or yearly (IMO). It mostly different signatures and soundstage levels. It will not be easy to beat...

You can add clear coat paint over the stock cups, to make them more rigid as well. Yet I don't really see the cup as an issue. All cups in general add reflections which affects the opennness. Then there is the added resonances which add the harmonics to the tone of the headphone. Both aspects...

Double post caused by network lag on my end.

Hello I been away for a while and not here much plus the holidays keep me busy. Yes I know everything there is to know about the driver and yes I dissected many and you can put some cloth surgical tape along edge wherever you ruptured it any part of the rear, to sonically bring it back, it as...

These are just excellent plugs! I ordered from musicteck for faster shipping. Even the presentation of packaging is excellent (in jewelry case). Really nice plugs 🙂 I found that passing the 120hr mark (for me), every song is eye opening how real it sounds. I adjusted all settings from...

IMO, The RS8 has been monumental to having portability combined with "end-game" performance, which made me jump off the merry-go-round of upgrades in last year, so I haven't been around much and enjoying music on another level... How does this matter in this thread? Well, there was one scenario...

I agree . Many stock cables not optimal , even that stock jewel cable. That PW "First Times" cable on the traillii is an exception as it is top notch and has top notch realism as other PW cables, but all PW cables are an expensive purchase separately. I found stock Xe6 cable to be above many...

Correct. Im not specifying properly. I'm not talking about the aspects of the cable, but how real the music comes thru. Clarity&realism , not "transparency", which would imply a neutrality or no change. The variance of people noticing cable changes (most noticeable in IEMs, IMO) can vary much...

No amp. Just RS8 dap. Get a similar top dap that doesn't need an amp. Cables are more personal choice. They account for around 2-3% of the sound quality. The stock cable is already a good cable, so to improve you would have to go for a good one that has a consensus for being good. I have...

That's good as it should help stop her snoring 😅
