congrats on your SR8! Yes huge upgrades👍

Probably WF1000XM5 7/25/2023 Release

Wow 2BA+2DD for $300USD Since when did Thieaudio start offering like the big boys😭 Monarch OG was $729/ Clairvoyance $699 and initial batch was with various custom plates/shells options like those high-ends. I thought it was a new era of TOTL coming down to the hands of rest of us, not...

Yes! Made in Great Britain🇬🇧

Love hype? 🤣🤣 name aside, tuning looks solid, the thieaudio tuner’s monitor neutral

Here comes another little dot old fan😄👍

Here are types of music that I enjoy: you can see links of music on my reviews: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sound-rhyme-dte500.26489/review/30846/ https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/truthear-hexa-4-driver-hybrid-iem.26189/review/29624/ I enjoy acoustic and instrumental more than songs with...

what if passive radiator of DZ4 is designed to react with certain resonating frequencies? Anyway, got the point of his comment, yea to each his own. As someone who know the sound of DZ4: Just listen. Reading does not tell you the sound😄

ah I didn’t watch the video, so 1: HBB complains about not holding up with the speed and complexion of metal, also added reverb inside that is gone I'd he removes the passive radiator and block the hole. general impression from this “removes passive radiator and block the hole” increase air...

Lenovo’s TWS and wireless headphone. It proves Lenovo is good at making PC, and terribly bad at making anything that reproduces sound. But on AE, literally millions of people are buying those, wow, for gods sake, those thing sound very disappointing. Not for audio, it’s good for...

Thanks for the details! 😄 Ah, so it’s not how treble is tuned, wow it looks like He is totally not a fan of what exactly letshouoer achived. The DD without nuisances of fatigue causing ear gain pressure. Maybe he takes the natural open-field pressure free feeling as to ”lack of body blow”...

To each his own, there is no definitive answer to ones preference. I see DZ4 is a very high performing IEM for under $100 bracket, maybe too bright to HBB’s liking though, he likes relaxed treble which DZ4 has pretty analytical one. I‘m usually not a huge DD-only IEM fan, but DZ4 actually...

Since SR7 already has pretty warm bass (I listen it with bass switch off), W2 has a good synergy.

Agree.. It SR7 is a new benchmark IEM for mid $300 that pushed Blessing 3 sideways IMO especially it’s solid tuned. It actually helped me from getting too many wired IEMs aside from Performer 8 and AuR Aurora. One last IEM I purchased was qdc’s first attempt in sub$100 single DD, a Japan...

I have Sa6, Neon Pro, and SR8, and can’t say SA6 is on the same group with Neon Pro and SR8🤔 Maybe that group is very wide “S” tier. SA6 is 90/100 in my grading system, but Neon Pro and SR8 are 95 and 97, there is a very very far distance from a 90/100 to reach the last miles, as we all know...

Part time DAP😄👏

DAC dongle portability & battery drainage practical patch: -MagSafe or similar strong mobile wireless powerbank to hold a thin iron plate to make a bulk that connects modile battery and dongle. -one touch detachable From the top:

It has 2.5khz 15db ish peak, with somehow harman style bass, you may need more ear gain levels but a good candidate.

As your ear gain type is Ety curve, with warm bass (for Penta Rhai, it’s BA bass, so I’d subtract 5db for DD bass target), you should not name it “neutral” when looking for an IEM. Most of us would not call Ety curve a neutral one, it’s clearly vocal emphasized one. So instead of looking...

FiiO X15: EST can be turned off by switches The FR looks harman inspired with treble extensions

agree… lightness > premium feeling material I like my HD560S over HD650 not because SQ is better, but because HD560S is lighter due to its plastic housing😄

Hmm…🤔 I might just need to magic tape the dongle… After trying that DD hifi splitter with several power source, I come to the conclusion “taking sound directly from lightning sounds better“ The splitter does add power but somehow blurs the timbre😅 But still I need to spare battery for the...

Well as far as you get a better experience, let the means to achieve that goal alone😄👏 Life is too short to enjoy the good moments

Just tried MeetAlice with w/ Quartet, good synergy 👍 I tired both MeetAlice (3.5mm ver and 4.4mm) and prefer 3.5mm over 4.4mm.

Yea TKZK Wave is pretty nice simple bellsing 1+1 that revitalizes old KBEAR Lark spirit. The flat bass response is something unique with other 1+1 tuned with elevated bass.
