    Tripowin x HBB: Mele/Olina - Discussion Thread - Olina OUT now

    I think I'm going on a bit of a hiatus now and just listen to the stuff I have. I'm not really willing to spend that kind of money on an IEM after buying and returning/selling the FD5 and Legacy 4. Maybe once i know how to easily tell stuff like bad coherency and I get annoyed by mediocre timbre...

    Tripowin x HBB: Mele/Olina - Discussion Thread - Olina OUT now

    I think this is what has given me most joy since I started going to the forums and buying new IEMs, discovering I like different kinds of music than just a bit of hip-hop and a lot of classic rock. I started appreciating bass and stuff like Yosi Horikawa since I bought the FH3. Nah the cable is...

    Tripowin x HBB: Mele/Olina - Discussion Thread - Olina OUT now

    I think you can as long as you clearly state so (which you did). For me personally, I don't EQ because I have multiple sources and multiple earphones I listen to and it's just a hastle to keep changing EQ presets for different sets, but to each their own and if you can take an IEM and perfect...

    The discovery thread!

    I think it's very important that reviewers share when they get denied review samples, especially after a less than positive review. It shows how much you can trust the first batch of reviews. If the company drops all reviewers who dare to say something negative then probably the first reviewers...

    FiiO&JadeAudio Dynamic Driver IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    How will these compare to the FD5 in weight and size? Liked the semi-open design of the FD5, but I had a hard time wearing them for longer than an hour before they would become uncomfortable. The FH3 on the other hand I can wear all day (and regularly do).

    Reply to review by 'Martward' on item 'Geek Wold GK10'

    15-20 hours of burn-in. The GK10 definitely beats the BL-03 in terms of technicalities, but I prefer more sub-bass and less mid/upper bass. My preferred sound signature is an L shape where it's neutral with elevated sub-bass. So if you'd say they draw because one wins in tuning and the other in...

    I just posted a review where I compare them to the BL-03 and the FH3. In short, I prefer the FH3 in terms of tuning and sub-bass, but I do think the GK10 is a bit more coherent than the FH3. They sound very different though, I sucks to go from one directly to the other because the second pair...

    Review by 'Martward' on item 'Geek Wold GK10'

    Update: So below is my review of my unit of the GK10. However, it has become clear that there are varying units and possibly QC problems. I would not recommend this IEM to anyone as long as those are not solved, and have therefore deducted a star from my initial rating of 4 stars. I like my set...

    Weird thing is, really not into v-shape. I prefer the FH3 over the FD5 and L4 and I don't really own any V(or U)-shape IEMs because I tend to sell them. Mostly into bass-boosted neutral or "L-shape" tunings. My go to tips are the Final E's, but it's a b*tch to get them where I from, unless I...

    Will do, and I will also tip-roll. I switched to the CP100 and I feel this is an improvement. Once I have them running for longer and compared them, I will either post my thoughts here or write a review :).

    My green ones are in. I think the wood looks gorgeous, the fit is great (using Spiral Dot++ tips). Not going into great detail about the sound because I have not listened much, burned in and haven't compared to anything at all. Also I am NOT a reviewer who has very good ear for detail, I am a...

    If the post office finally decides it's time, I should get mine in tomorrow. They should be green, I'll post a pic but I'm not a great photographer so temper your expectations lol.

    I do realize that, and I'm curious how they sound when I get them. Wasn't saying nobody should buy the GK10, but I don't see why Marvin Gaye has to be dragged into this :P. Maybe his unit is defective, we'll see when more measurements and reviews are in, still very curious about them :).

    True, even with the same gear and same(ish) library there can be large differences in enjoyment. HBB's library and my own share quite a bit of music and I've head 5 IEMs that he tested and ranked, my list is completely different from his. HBB: BL-03/L4 > FD5 > T2/FH3 Mine: FH3/BL-03 > T2 >...

    Classy... What is wrong with Marvin Gaye? Last time I checked he was a legend and a great singer. Unnecessary personal toxicity aside, I hope to get the GK10 in somewhere this week. I was wondering what tips people use on them. Unfortunately the new EU customs crap has kidnapped my package...
