    Audiophile iOS audio player

    I just got a chance to try NE Player and god am I sold. This is a love hate relationship that I have with this player. Honestly I dont like the interface. Coming from Kaisertone, which allows for customization of the color tone, fadeout, showing the now playing list and subsequent songs, swiping...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    I briefly listened to the Aeons during the NYC canjam and bought a set on that same day. I did not have a chance to compare these with DT1770 but can just share a little on what I felt Aeon's sound sig. It sounds neutral and packs a punch in terms of its bass impact. Naturally, it does not have...

    As far as I know - I don't think Kaisertone has dropbox/GDrive to drop songs in and all unlike ST-1. But to me it isn't that much of an issue since I don't use either and save all files physically on my phone and like it that way. However, if that is what you want then Kaiser isn't for you...

    Audiophile iOS audio player

    I tried using ST1 and I think it sounds good but as for interface, I think it would be better if it had a 'scroll bar' at the side so I can scroll through my songs on a playlist. My playlists can get quite long  - a few hundred songs and I cant seem to scroll through them quickly enough to find...

    The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread

    I personally would get a 3rd party cable instead of getting from fitear as I find that their cables tend to be too stiff. Currently using effect audio's Leonidas and it makes my c435 sound amazing.

    Audiophile iOS audio player

    Just downloaded and tried Jetaudio. It's slightly softer as compared to the Kaisertone but I think that isn't an issue as I tried to tune both music players so that they are of the same volume when I A/B them. To my ears I think they are similar as they both have a slightly 'laid back' signature...

    Audiophile iOS audio player

      Thanks for all the kind words. Actually I have tried to play around with the output bit rates but to my ears, I cant pick up the difference so I turned off the upsampling altogether. Maybe the other audio experts can chime in on their take on whether it would affect?   I think when I am...

    Audiophile iOS audio player

    So today I decided to make the jump and try a few of the iOS players to see which one I like most. I just downloaded and tried these music players:   - Relisten (v1.0.4) - Neutron - Hibiki - iAudiogate - Kaisertone   I thought that maybe I could share some brief impressions I have on...

    Unique Melody legacy - Latest Flagship 12BA CIEM

    Just went down to stereo to audition the legacy and even though I did not compare it to the mentor I was quite impressed with it. Overall sound signature is quite dark (liken to the LCD2s) and relatively neutral. It has a very wide sound stage like the JH 16 with very good instrumental...

    I need an earbud after bad experience with IEM

    The comfort seems alright for my ears and it fits quite well. In terms of bass, what I did was remove the little sponge "filter" at the bore of the earpiece and in doing so this made the bass deeper and more impactful.  However, i think its greatest strength is in the massive soundstage that...

    Maybe you could also consider the Piano Forte II if you are able to get your hands on one!(:

    Need Help Finding A Good Pair of In-ear Headphones for around $100

    Maybe you can consider Vsonic VSD1. They are not flat sounding but it definitely is value for money and sounds pretty sweet for a $40+ IEM!(: Or if your budget allows it, maybe you can try the RE-400. The reviews on them are quite good and I personally have one too. Its very neutral and...

    ¿ The best In-Ear ever made?

    Just to chip in a little. I have actually tried the full range of Final Audio Piano Forte models and like what EveTan said they do have the same sound signature as they have the same internal construction and only the material used for the metal housing is different. Personally I dont believe...

    VSonic VSD1/VSD1S Reviews/Impression Thread

    Hey guys, not sure if anyone has asked this qn before. But when you all wear the VSD1 over the ear aren't you wearing the left earpiece in the right ear and vice versa? Wouldn't that cause some channel balance issues or affects the sound reproduction? Not very sure about this so just wanted to...

    FitEar TO GO! & Universal Series --- Suyama's custom IEM, made universal!

    I think if anyone is deciding on whether to go for customs (Ie. 335) or Universal (Ie TG334), I feel that Fitear's customs fit exceptionally well as compared to other customs that I have tried before. Fitear customs are larger than the usual customs and it does not have a very deep insertion as...
