    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I end up returning the filter. After burn in, the treble became prominent and piercing, so I returned the filter back and loved the sound signature of if having the filter. I have two FAD E5000 anyway. I use the 2nd one I bought.

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

    No idea when but my guess is around mid 2019. I just checked the link and it seems they've removed the post, sorry.

    Sorry for the off topic. It seems 1More is also releasing a true wireless IEM as well: http://www.52audio.com/archives/13549.html It seems to be using the QCC5100 series chipset, but it does mention it supports AAC and aptxHD as well. It also has ANC similar to that of the Sony WF-1000X...

    I can confirm they seal, however, there is a small filtered hole at the side of the IEM, it helps to relieve the vacuum effect on the ears of a completely sealed IEMs, I might get the X12 too since I would need something open for running as well. The E12 Pro is meant for my daily commute to...

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

    Thanks, I could not resist so I got one my self, a local shop here in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong is selling it for HK$370 (original is HK$499). Initial impression of the Sabbat E12 Pro is good, far better than the T1C. Much smoother treble, and very clear midrange. However it might change after a few...

    I meant the QCY T1C/T1. For some reason here in Hong Kong, its called the QCY T1 rather than QCY T1C. However in Aliexpress its called the T1C or QS1 in their official QCY aliexpress store...

    Huh, makes me wonder if you actually got the pro version instead, it has a warm bass (but with balanced subbass that is not overpowering) which reminds me of IEMs that uses the Knowles RAB series (similar to Earin-M2), The standard version of the Mifo O5 actually reminded me slightly of the...

    I do not have the standard version of the Mifo O5, but I did have a very long listening on a shop here in HK. It has V-shaped sound signature. Treble is much more pronounced and much deeper subbass, although my ears are very sensitive to treble so take my opinion with a grain of salt, our ears...

    The standard version is the one using the dynamic driver. The pro version is the one using the balanced armature. The standard version too is cheaper than the pro version. If you like a bassy and V-shaped sound signature go with the standard version. If you like a neutral sound signature, go...

    The Mifo O5 and Air-X does not support multi device connection at once, you'll have to disconnect from the connected device before you connect to the next.

    The bass is actually deeper with more emphasis on sub bass, however, if you really want bass I would recommend getting the dynamic driver version. I will assume it will have a much deeper bass than both the M2 and the O5 BA version. Yes you can switch off the earbuds by holding the multifunction...

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

    Hello all, so I got both the Mavin Air-X and the Mifo O5 (Balanced armature version). The Mavin Air-X is priced around 129USD and I got the Mifo O5 at a very cheap price of HK$160 (20.50USD) due to coupon discounts I got for a local store here in Hong Kong, their original price is HK$599...

    jim723 the fit is actually okay, at long sessions it does irritate my ears a bit but not much.

    SMSL iDEA portable dac+amp

    Overall, a noticeable improvement over the Apple 3.5mm dongle. Stereo separation is much better, even rivaling my ES100 in balanced mode, if not, even a tad better than my ES100. Feels very holographic sound like you are in a large stage. Using my FAD E5000 as my primary IEMs, I was immediately...

    SMSL iDEA portable dac+amp

    So, I got the SMSL iDEA from Aliexpress. After one week of use, all I can say is its perfectly neutral. Pairs good on warm sounding IEMs like my Final Audio E5000, very wide soudstage and treble has more sparkle yet not fatiguing. It works on iPhone + HF Player well with up sampling to High...
