    ThieAudio Legacy Series IEMs

    I have no issues with driver flex when inserting them. I also don’t have any fit issues as some have mentioned on YouTube.

    ThieAudio Legacy Series IEMs

    Isolation for me is about average. Even with a tight seal, I can still hear a fair amount outside the iems. Also, no issues with driver flex when inserting them.

    ThieAudio Legacy Series IEMs

    Hi Kasmur, I have not tried them balanced with the BTR5 because I don't have a balanced cable or adapter. I'm also a little bit disappointed that they terminated these with QDC connectors because all the high-end cables I own are 2 pin .78mm. And yes, the sound stage is indeed narrower than...

    ThieAudio Legacy Series IEMs

    Mine arrived today! I ordered directly from Linsoul on April 14. They took 16 days total to arrive (with delays coming from Linsoul) via DHL Express. I've only had them for a few hours, but here are some early impressions - They sound amazing out of the box! They seem to play all genres...

    ThieAudio Legacy Series IEMs

    Mine shipped via DHL Express today after an eight day processing delay from Linsoul. I’m wondering how long they’ll take to get to California. I have other orders from AliExpress that I’ve been waiting over a month for.

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Thanks RikudouGoku for the great review! From your review, I gather that the mids (especially vocals) are not lush, organic or wet, but maybe a little dry, forward and accurate sounding? Would that be fair to say?

    Question on 2 pin vs QDC connections for IEMs.

    Looks like this has been discussed here - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/qdc-discussion-and-impressions-thread.804170/page-27

    Question on 2 pin vs QDC connections for IEMs.

    I've heard that there is a difference in polarity between 2 pin and QDC, but I can't confirm. Also, the pins on a two pin connector are .78mm apart, whereas the QDC pins are .75mm apart. So I believe the fit would be just a hair off. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Sub €300 IEM's

    I tried some EQ, but the pitch of pianos and horns always just sounds a bit "off key". And I don't want to mess with EQ on an IEM. A few people mentioned the shouty midrange issue in their reviews, but at the time I got caught up in all the hype and bought them anyways. Should've listened. I...

    Sub €300 IEM's

    I recently bought the Ikko OH10s and am disappointed at their sound after reading so many positive reviews. They are technically impressive with tons of detail, fantastic bass, and the fit is amazing too, but there's this shouty peak in the midrange that I just can't get past. I listen to a lot...

    Resistance of cables; pics, comments, and links

    Maybe a dumb question, but is there a sonic advantage to ordering an 8 core cable vs 4 core? I'm specifically looking at cables 173/174. Does an increase in number of cores affect the sound? And BTW, thank you so much, hakuzen, for this amazing resource!

    Can I use an Audio Interface with Schiit Stack at the same time in Windows 10?

    From Tom at Schiit Audio - Yes, if you want to listen to music only you can use the Modi/Magni combo. When you want to listen to the combo, simply select the Modi as the default playback device and when you want to use the Behringer, switch that to the default playback device. Another option is...

    Can I use an Audio Interface with Schiit Stack at the same time in Windows 10?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I see what you're saying, but I'd really like to control the JBLs through the Behringer because it has separate speaker and headphone volume knobs. In other words, I'm looking for the ability to play and control the output of the JBLs at the same time as having the...

    Can I use an Audio Interface with Schiit Stack at the same time in Windows 10?

    Hey Guys, I currently use a Behringer UMC404HD USB audio interface for a AT2035 microphone, JBL 305P MKII speakers, and DT990 Headphones. This is plugged into a desktop PC (Win 10, i7-8700K, 32GB RAM, 4TB Storage, etc.) All works great. My question is, if I buy a Schiit stack, can I also plug...

    Looking for best IEM under $100

    I'd consider the Nuforce NE-700M for 75 bucks.  I have more expensive Shure and UE iems, but I keep going back to the Nuforce because they play everything well.  Check out the various reviews on Amazon.
