    Yes. I understand that. But, vendors kept pushing them "for better" sound. So, i said let me see for myself.

    Honestly, i used to think DAPs and Dongles were inferior to what i had at home and its nothing to be wowed at (schiit modi multibit). I couldnt tell any differences between the RU7 and my desktop setup. Maybe if i really tried but if i have to do that... Im just glad im not one who can hear...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Anyone with the Aurvana Ace 2's have weird noises emitting from their charging case? Think old printer merged with a car turn signal noises.

    I enjoyed the Fei Wan, as well. I really liked the Nuit, though. Between the Nuit and the Multiverse - those may have been my two favorite at the show. The micro details the Nuit delivered were impressive. The problem is, i now need to re-try the FatFreq Grand Maestro, Nightjar Crimson (liked...

    I gave this a listen. The Timbre sounded way off to me. Snares sounded very odd. Otherwise, thought it sounded good overall. I didnt analyze it much because of the snares not sounding correct.

    If you have an s23 ultra (as i do). The trade-in was better this year. Last year i paid 819 out the door for the s23 ultra with 512gb storage and buds2 pro. This year i went with the 1tb option and with the credit i got the s24 out the door at 714 and buds2 pro "free."

    Agreed. Its probably as close as you can come to a custom fit. Its just unfortunate it hurts a lot of ears (thankfully not mine!).

    RAZ's TOTL review and rambles thread, on life support

    I like the W2 but it made all the iems (imo) sound similar and had this digital feel to them. Hard to explain.

    Very interested in the Odyssey but i dont think it will top the VE EXT for me. I love everything about the iem. A few dbs in the sub / mid bass would be perfecto. I dont think the odyssey will be able to keep up with the treble the EXT offers.

    Noble FoKus Pro users. So, weird issue with this unit. I use these mainly on my PC. 1 out of 2 uses the right piece will have the noise of electronic interference. It lasts for about 15 seconds and then is fine. Does anyone have this issue when using on their phone?
