    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Whelp I think my search is over. Moondrop Variations. More technically proficient than the 3DTs. Very comfy. Very punchy. I do wish there were a little more midrange, but that's about it. Fantastic IEMs for heavy genres.

    Single-DD IEM for heavy and metal genres

    Ooops. A good question indeed. 1) it's something I don't currently have, at least not in a format I like. It'd be a different tonal flavor 2) I usually do like the general coherence you get from single-driver IEMs, and I own a single-BA IEM already (the Etymotic ER4XR) What I have in my...

    Single-DD IEM for heavy and metal genres

    Recently I've been keeping the following IEMs in my rotation: * UM 3DT (favorites) * CFA Andromeda * Noble x Drop K10 * ThieAudio Clairvoyance I honestly love all of them. But it does make me feel that I'm kind of 'done' with BA/hybrid type IEMs. These cover everything I love. The only thing...

    Unique Melody 3D Terminator 3DT Announcement Thread

    I've been using my 3DT daily for about a month now. Before I received these, that's what was in my rotation: * Thieaudio Clairvoyance (superb, flat-ish sound but still extremely pleasant. Large shells. Still, really, really high quality IEMs) * CFA Andromedas (beloved for good reasons. Fantastic...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Well over the past few months, I have rekindled my love for IEMs and tried these: * Noble x Drop K10: powerful mids, fairly inoffensive tuning, comfortable. Very nice to have around, especially for the price on sale * CFA Andromeda: really, really enjoyable. Technically proficient, but they...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    Hi folks; are the new Excalibur/Oracle smaller, or the same exact size, as the Clairvoyance? My ONLY gripe with the Clair is its size... EDIT: going back through the thread, a couple people commented that the new IEMs are a little smaller. That's great news!

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Just got my 3DT. It's only been a few songs but honestly, I am grinning. I am used to more expensive IEMs (Andromedas, Clairvoyance, Noble K10, or even the Dunu SA6 and Fearless S8F). But for guitar and metal, the 3DTs really bring a lot of punch. There's more bass than I normally go for, and...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    That Headfonia review of the 3DT made me purchase them immediately. I own much more technically-proficient or transparent IEMs, but this one seems... different. They arrive on Friday, I hope they replace my current 'bass' IEMs, the Fearless S8F and Dunu SA6. If they don't, that just means more...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Unfortunately, a) the 2 pins slot is so recessed on the SA6s that aftermarket cables will have issues fitting the IEM b) the only aftermarket cable I have is a SuperBax which doesn't fit because of a) and c) I don't know if a new cable would add that much treble and lower the bass. My taste is...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    I just got the Dunu SA6 today. While I enjoy them and they're a very competent IEM indeed, I find them too bassy and without the treble sparkle I look for in dedicated metal IEMs. I'm keeping them though. They sound a little more pleasant and easy listen to than the Fearless S8F.

    Sennheiser IE300 Review & Measurements

    Thanks for the recs all :) It sounds like the 300s aren't exactly for me, I'll look into those other IEMs mentioned! EDIT: Looks like I had already replied :D silly me...

    Sennheiser IE300 Review & Measurements

    That's great stuff, thank you! Interesting about the Vega, I was kind of considering it, but I also have the Atlas and did NOT enjoy them. They're way too intense in the bass, not at all something I can listen to for longer time-periods. It just gets... too much. I don't have a balanced source...

    Sennheiser IE300 Review & Measurements

    Hey folks; I am currently going between my Thieaudio Clairvoyance and the Campfire Audio Andromeda (and when I can't find these, the Noble x Drop K10 and the Fearless S8F). I'm looking for a single DD IEM to complement these. I already have the JVC HA-FD01 but the fit is terrible for me and...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    I have both too; the Andros are smaller and it's quite noticeable to me. Both fit me ok-ish (the Andros are heavy and I need to secure them), but I do wish the Clairvoyance were smaller, while I'm more ok wearing the Andros for longer time periods. I have some Fearless S8F at my desk as well...

    DUNU Studio SA6 is now officially released worldwide!

    How big are these? I have the S8F and I'd like a similarly-small IEM with a little more focus on the midrange. These may fit the bill! But if they're more, say, the Clairvoyance's size, that'd be an issue...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Ooof honestly I've not listened to it in ... years? At least months. Sorry :( I ended-up going back to the Dekoni Blues for my office headphones.

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    I was wondering the same exact thing; I have the Fearless S8F and the ThieAudio Clairvoyance and I want something with a little more midrange than the S8F, and still be smaller than the Clairvoyance. These keeps popping up in my mind...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    Clairvoyance are superior in virtually every aspect. Clearer, more technically strong (better seperation and soundstage), less bass, more balanced tuning overall. It's that simple! To me the Clairvoyance are the cleanest IEMs I own. Andromedas and K10s feel bloated and and while I enjoy their...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    Correct, the Fearless. More bassy, less midrange/balance overall. So they'd feel more bloated. They're tiny and super comfortable though! Honestly I do like them. They are no competition, but they're cheaper. And much more comfortable. So they have a place in what I rotate through. Same size...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    A bit of a weird one here. I adore the Clairvoyance. They beat the Andromedas on clarity and general technicality. And to me, on enjoyment as well. But they're huge. And sometimes finding a fit is tricky, and when I do, they can become painful after a little while. By contrast, I can wear my...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    Not those you mention specifically, but I am using mine with a Centrance DACPort HD (connected to my work laptop). It's just fine. I've not even tried it with another source though, so I can't compare.

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    Well, it's likely been said a lot, but the Clairvoyance is an AWESOME IEM. I am really, really loving mine. The only downside is that they are large, and tricky for me to find a good fit. I typically have one ear blocking too much sound (bad fit), and I often have a hard time getting an even...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Do you guys have recommendations for a single-dynamic driver IEM for melodic and technical genres? I currently use any of the CFA Andromeda, Fearless SF8F, Thieaudio Clairvoyance, or Noble K10s. I want something different. I do have the CFA Atlas but... I really do not enjoy them. Way too...

    Campfire Vega 2020

    Hey folks! I'm quite curious about the new Vega. I own Andromeda and Atlas, and while I LOVE the former, I really didn't get along with the Atlas, which I found... too much. Too intense. Too bassy. Too full-bodied (not in a fun way like the K10). Too. Much. I do like the idea of a single-driver...

    ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs

    After having sought advise on this thread, I ended-up buying a pair of Clairvoyance. They sound really, REALLY good. They absolutely compete with the Andromedas and the K10s, and in fact do a good job of having the former's balance and the latter's midrange power. I am, however, suffering a...
