Hey @crinacle how should I get in touch with you about sending you my personal NuForce HEM8’s to include in the list? Motivation here is the missing gap in the NuForce / Optoma HEM# lineup and how different the HEM8’s are to the HEM 2/4/6 (I’ve heard all 4) - and would like to see the...

I've actually done this. Highly suggest having the hearing protection over the AirPods. As long as you position them carefully, It works quite well, and anything the Peltors don't remove, the AirPods ANC will handle. But they definitely cannot handle that much noise "alone".

This looks good, but wow, it's a bit of a step up vs the TaoBao prices. Does AliExpress include shipping? Also, I found this link on AliExpress for the barrel style (rather than base/platform style) connector: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000544425172.html - does anyone know if it's...

Rtings just did some Frequency Response Measurements! Check out how close these are to the Sony WF-1000 XM3's

A few things that make this different: there are multiple mics here. Inner / outer mics to noise cancel, and EQ for ear shape, and update the model. Yes, an ADC can sample at many times higher frequencies, but it's working with an infinite power budget, when compared to the tiny batteries here...

they can because they literally made custom silicon to do this. Apples chip engineering prowess is insane. the H1 headphone chip is easily capable. It’s got 10 low power audio cores each doing processing of the various inputs (internal, external mic, voice mic, accelerometer, placement...

Wow. The amount of information in your very first post is both stunning and incredible. Amazing work, and I'm really loving the level of dedication you guys have to headphone measurements. I stumbled in here as I was trying to learn more about accurately measuring headphones for a review I'm...

Hey Crinacle, I'm trying to do rudimentary measurements of the AirPods Pro for a review, and just spent a lot of time (litearlly 3 days lol) reading up on everyone's efforts in figuring out an affordable way to measure IEMs without shelling out over $2500 for an IEC 60318-4 / IEC...

Just pull them straight off. It's fine :)

Sooooo   is anyone making Lightning to 2 pin cables for any IEMs? 

Hey everyone. I wrote a review of the HEM 8's if anyone wants to check it out :) http://www.transversomedia.com/articles//nuforce-hem-8-new-music-tech-gear-review

jyri (or anyone else who wants to chime in) if you were going to summarize the differences between the HEM 6 and 8, what would you say they were? I'm trying to make a decision between the two. :) What would be the biggest differences I would hear? Thanks!

Got the HEM 6, and I'm trying to figure out if I want to sell it and spring for the HEM 8 or not

That's the main reason for the silence on this thread. Massdrop orders should be coming in the next 1-2 weeks.

Any comparison between the HEM6 and 8 vs the InEar SD2/3?
