PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs
Yes that was my understanding as well based on these different Harman target curves: No matter now much your own tastes match the harman target, there is indeed a +4db shelf on the in-ear target versus over-ear. I'm not sure about the technical explanation for that but it does correlate with...- mobbaddict

PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs
Is there any planar IEM with a flat bass profile and neutral target curve? I find it funny that almost all planar headphones have a flat bass but in the IEM world a minimum 5db boost has become the standard for everyone. I don't mind a slightly boosted bass but I think it's a bit too much if I...- mobbaddict

Best IEM tips?
The Spinfit CP500 are really worth having in your collection. They have a sound that is very airy and laid-back at the same time, which is not common. It's like a more open and impactful version of the Epro tips with a sightly more bland timbre. I find that they work really nice with the...- mobbaddict

RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
What's really interesting is his take on the different driver technologies though. We need more of these perspectives. These days I feel like the over abundance of headphones tends to blur the lines between dynamics, planars and electrostats. I haven't had the chance to hear any of the Raal...- mobbaddict

Elevate Your Audeze Maxwell Experience with Dekoni Audio's New Premium Earpads
Interesting, the leather pads might really improve sound quality (especially timbre) on top of improving the bass response.- mobbaddict

Stax SR-X1 (new entry model)
Sounds like a great move from Stax, a cheaper and more modern design with a more laid-back tuning is exactly what they needed to get back in the game. Curious to hear the improved bass rendition.- mobbaddict

Moondrop in-ear monitors Impressions Thread
I tested them while commuting and I don't think they work very well in noisy environnements in general, it's almost a semi-open design if you look at the vent on the top. It has its benefits though as you are more aware of your environment. I feel like an open design would be perfect for...- mobbaddict

The Closed-Back Headphone Thread (Plus Comparisons & Reviews)
Very intrigued by this Japanese brand, they have a Bluetooth planar closed-back (WA-Z1PNK) with double-sided magnets which is unusual for a portable format. You can hear a lot of bass and dynamics compared to the Edifier S3 during the live comparison at 13:30, which is exactly what is missing...- mobbaddict

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
I'd been curious lately to get my first wireless headset so I bought the Moondrop Space Travel, mainly because of their cheap price and overall neutrality, and I must say that not only do they sound very good for the price, but to my surprise I've been using them way more than my daily drivers...- mobbaddict

Best IEM tips?
The Epros are even better if you manage to get a good fit. They're famous for taming the highs. I like the Sennheiser too because they're as comfy as the Spiral dots and have a smoother tonality and timbre (probably because they have an additional foam filter inside).- mobbaddict

Moondrop in-ear monitors Impressions Thread
Got the Space Travel as a wireless headset for the office and I'm quite impressed for the price. They fare pretty well tonality-wise compared to the RE400 with the monitor setting and some good tips (using Sennheiser IE pro tips which enhance the default bass response). The RE400 has a slight...- mobbaddict

Sennheiser IE pro silicone and Epro EP01 work well for that with my OG timeless. Favorite tips so far.- mobbaddict
