Question: how does the purchase work? I'm assuming that payment will be through Massdrop, but the impressions? Do I have to ship it over by myself or can I rope in the local distributor to help me ship it over to Poland? If have to do it, is there a recommended way to pack and ship these...

I was auditioning the harmony 8 pro over the weekend and i am totally in love with the sound signature. However I have some concerns. Firstly, this being my first custom, I'm not sure if I will be comfortable with the long stems. Is it possible to request for slightly shorter stems without...

Grados are leaky but another consideration is also the volume that you listen to. I found that if you dont listen at excessive volumes, it isn't THAT bad. My partner could barely hear my music when i was seating about 1m away from her. Have you looked at the Marshall series? Both Marshall and...

Anyone?   Somewhere in the reviews, the X5 and X3 seem to share a comparable amp section (both care capable of churning out plenty of power). Their difference lies in their DAC section. Only DX50 and DX90 differ on both DAC and amp section. I'm getting confused by it all..

Hi all, I know that all these varies on their DAC chip and their implementation. But after reading eke's thread about the various DAPs, I think the overall consensus is that while there are differences, it is quite small and we are splitting hairs. So i 'm going to just focus on the amp...

I think Jamato8 read your mind and created the thread already!   you can go there to post your impressions! 

Interesting..count me in!   I'm @Grumpy_old_soul on twitter. 

I'm curious about the quality of these. Seems like this will be a winner if the drivers are properly tuned and implemented..

  alternatively, you can wear it like the third picture with the cable cinch to make a snug fit. I personally prefer the third way of wearing since the cables disappear behind me and I'm free to do my things. My ears are of a weird shape that doesn't conform to the ear guides so those become...

Should be real..my local distributor just posted this on the FB group.

ATH-M50X? It lacks inline controls though..but it checks all other boxes.

Alternatively, an amp with a bass boost option might also work for you. 

wait..is that the 4th of October or 10th of April? 

Joker has got high praises for the 4S. Since I've never heard the fxt90 before, I'm relying on Joker's review of them to give suggestions. The sonic description of the fxt90 seems more in line with the 4C. I'm not implying that the music two pales in comparison, but i think the 4C will provide...

What is the current IEM that you are using now? I used to like a V-shape signature, but with time i changed to a balance signature kind of person.    It depends on what kind of "fun" you are looking at. Some wants musicality, others prefer slightly boosted bass and treble response.    For...

I was about to suggest the CustomArt series, but from your options you seem to be leaning towards a V-shape signature.   The Noble series are good. I just managed to audition the N3 at one of the local dealers and it is a fun sounding IEM when i got a good seal. I can only imagine the sound...

All that i am aware of is that the dynamic driver will become over-pressurized inside the housing. As for whether or not it will affect the balance armatures, I can't say with certainty.

I'm guessing you can change the magnification setting to somewhere below 100%? That should help.    Crtl + [up/down on the scroll wheel of the mouse]

Economies of scale? They mght have streamlined their production process and able to do the same thing for cheaper. Regardless of it, LMUE has confirmed that the classics used the same bio-cellulose drivers so there is nothing to argue about here.   As for the Bass edition, it is a slightly...

Are you looking for something brighter in comparison to the SE215 or brighter objectively?   Bright is a description for the treble range but there are a lot of ways an IEM can appear brighter. One way to to attenuate the bass response so that the focus can be given to the other frequency...

Terminology varies with people, so this is my variant of the word punchy.   Punchy: Imagine punches. The bass hits you when it is present in the music, not lingering for too long. It won't overwhelm the mid-range of the music and the general presentation.   When i use the word "feel", I'm...

  Depends on who you are asking. A purist will tell you to get another set of IEMs that fits your favourite signature and not mess with EQ. Others will say that EQ exist to tweak the signature to fit your liking. I, for one, have no issue with people using the EQ settings. In fact, there's a...

What do you exactly mean when you say strong bass? Is it the kind where you can "feel" it? Or do you mean clear, punchy bass?   If your answer is the first, I'll go with the SE215. The LTD version comes with boosted low end, but make sure you get the blue one, iirc. If your answer is the...
