OK here is what my First Impression. I just got it today, so my opinion about sound quality and comfort may change. I have recently bought QC35. I got wired P7 as well. I got numerous other headphone including PM-3, HD650, good old QC15, Focal Elear, etc. I used MDR-1000X before, but their...

I do not think that's the reason.... Most balanced headphone cable is analog cable, so it is totally different story.... balanced cable do not need any software.... the reason why balanced cable do not support microphone is they need to use all 4 pins of 3.5mm headphone jack. Most common one...

I have 2 capri cables(both 2 pin), and both have hiss issue. I am assuming it is because of poor DAC. I tried with my main CIEMs ( Hidition NT-6 & Viento-B ) and Cheap IEM. and every single situation, there is hiss. Now, I am assuming this is DAC problem, and it is consistent---but it just...

This is a typical argument in these kinds of community have.    Think about this way. You are listening comments about beverage. Someone likes it, and someone does not. It all depends on personal taste.   Even if flavor of food is totally same, if you are hungry, you may find it is really...

Yes and no. P7 have a tad bit more bass than flat(complete balance) based on Harman International standard(if you go to website such as innerfidelty, there is measurement data), and I do get similar impression with P9 as well after using it for several days. But again, I am talking a tad bit...

Personally, I do not like "too dark" or "too bright" because of ambiguity. It usually refers too much bass. Bass/low frequency is described as dark or warm sound, while treble/high frequency sound described as bright. Note increasing all bass / mid / high frequency at same time evenly means...

Yup. totally agree

No, I didn't.   No offense, but I highly, highly doubt my opinion would change even if I heard them. assuming measurement is correct.   Unless we are comparing totally different driver unit mechanism(ex: comparing full size electrostatic with this)   FR has been one of the biggest aspects...

What a disappointing FR result. JH Audio advertised Angie and Lalya as 'reference' IEM. and It turns out Angie lacks mid-high(or low treble) and ultra high.   I dunno about layla and I am not gonna say Angie is a bad IEM,   but it seems Angie is clearly not a great "reference" IEM IMO.  ...

Hidition is S. korean CIEM company. and lg quadbeats 3 was released

Good grab. 40 bucks? that's cheap. I believe Phonak cost over 100 bucks... around 150.    I guess they are selling leftover after they have been discontinued. Even so, 40 bucks sound great deal.

I am not angry, since I see some of your point, but I am just agreeing not all of them.   Etymotic Research lacks bass, slightly, true. However, this is not mainly due to BA issue.    Etymotic Research intentionally aimed FLAT based on diffused field compensated graph with their own...

  Sadly, then I am asking a question that I already know the answer.

  My question can be also rephrased into "why does nobody make or cannot make cheap/decent BA?". It seems it is going into "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" argument. :P   I am assuming manufacturer cannot make them, (because they are not coming out yet) and asking why. And...
