I wholeheartedly concur. The Xe6 scales magnificently. I always feel like theres always untapped potential. I'm constantly finding little tweaks to make it better. And although some dismiss cables altogether I personally find it's sensitive to cable choice. In fact it's the Xe6 and Rn6 made me...

What will it bring?

I can't stress enough how fit dependant the universal Frontier series are. From experience it's not just about finding good tips. The tips should allow for the right depth for the kinetic bass driver to work properly relative to your ear anatomy, coupled with the fact that if you insert the Rn6...

What I've realised from using the Rn6 and Xe6 and experiencing every known issue listed here (no exaggeration) is that the technology is not straightforward or much less so compared to other iems. No, it shouldn't be the case given they're flagship products with eye watering price tags but sadly...

Overpriced is relative based on consumer preference. It's certainly a small fortune. I own the Xe6 and just repurchased the Rn6. As with everything there a diminishing returns and if you want the last ounce of performance you'll have to pay a premium. Personally I do think they're a bit...

Much more likely they would release another co-flagship. At the very least give it another two years and there will prob be a 10 year anniversary model.

Great review! Really proves why going with a custom Rn6 and Xe6 is worth the investment. To those that went to Canjam, did any of the FIR reps suggest when they might seize to manufacture Rn6 customs?

I don't think the Xe6 has too much bass but the thickness in mid bass means it sounds like you're almost listening on tubes and there's a longer decay which can creep occasionally into the mids. As a result mids are harmonically rich and there's great depth. The bass has a smooth quality around...

Its highly subjective, as others have pointed out. The Rn6 and Xe6 are heavily flavoured irrespective of their technical qualities or the resolution they put out. It's whether you subscribe to this flavour. I would say though that they capture certain aspects of the recording that no other iem...

Do you happen to have any impressions of Project K?

UAPP is broken after the update. Sound is distorting and signal is peaking in the red. Anyone else getting this? How would I go about downgrading to version before?

My 4z certainly has less of a dip in the 3-4khz range. It's also much flatter beyond that compared to my LCD4 and plays more upfront in the mids. Worth mentioning my 4z has the newest pads and my LCD4 the old ones.

I own both the LCD4 and 4z. Just want to add to what's already been said. I perceive the LCD4 as more holographic relative to 4z. I find the LCD4 captures the emotions of the track a bit better whereas 4z is matter of fact and can sound more transparent and flat. I think the key differences as...

I have a long history of unit replacement with Fir Audio when it comes to the Rn6 and Xe6. Ultimately I refused to keep going and got a refund for the Rn6. Which to be honest I regret everyday because I loved the Rn6 sound. I thought it was an incredible experience every time I listened to them...

I feel somewhat vindicated that others have experienced grounding and noise problems. I reported similar issues with an Rn6 and Xe6. I would get noise when I went near an electrical appliance e.g. my hifi system or a light fixture. I don't think Fir Audio believed me although customer service...
