    Would you consider the Comet, in overall tonality, warm or on the cooler side? Does it generally come across as natural/organic? How's the dynamic range expression of the Comet (pianissimo to fortissimo)? Thanks in advance! :-)

    Reply to review by 'McSchnauze' on item 'RHA T20'

    @svk7 After the burn in of the replacement unit, I'd say there is still a perceptible difference (bass quantity, clarity, treble quantity, etc.) but less glaringly so. But if you're asking me if it's true mechanical flexing or simply ear/brain adjustment, I am still bewildered (perhaps you're...

    @svk7 The more I listen to the T20s, I noticed that the bass is not as overwhelming, the treble has become more articulate, the mids still amply bodied with much less veil. I think that there was less of a discrepancy/transformation of sound with the replacement unit as my subconscious had...

    @svk7 ... The T20 is really warm (there's no denying that) and quite intimate (compared to the others that I have), but I'm enjoying its signature, as it creates a contrast to my usual serving of pronounced lows, slightly recessed mids, bright highs, spacious soundstage and detail-rich...

    @svk7 ....Now, after about the 150 hours of burn in (of the replacement unit), I can flip through my other IEMs with my ears/brain adjusting quite swiftly to the IEM's sound presentation. This allows me to enjoy each one given their own signatures.

    @svk7 ......But while waiting for the replacement unit (which took almost 2 weeks to arrive), I was flipping through the IT03, GR07 & AF56, so my ears weren't too "saturated" with a particular tonality or signature (compared to when I first listened to my original unit -- I was using the FiiO...

    @svk7 Thank you! :-) I received a replacement unit after the wire of my original unit broke. And upon first listen of the replacement unit, I still had the same impression: dark, veiled, etc., but to a much lesser degree (not much of a system shock anymore)....

    @DoctaCosmos I've only owned the T20 from the RHA line up, but you're right -- it seems like the MA650 model can pose quite a challenge to keep in place. The MA750, on the other hand, holds more promise, as it has over-ear hooks, similar to the T20. I'm really enjoying the T20's kidney / bean...

    Review by 'McSchnauze' on item 'RHA T20'

    This is an encouraging tale of disappointment and an anecdote of the merits of patience -- an unveiling of sound that’s rich, lush and beguiling! I quite recently purchased the RHA T20, as I was curious about the tuning filters (Bass, Reference, Treble) and the proprietary Dual Coil dynamic...

    Review by 'McSchnauze' on item 'FiiO EX1 II Aerospace Titanium Diaphragm In-Ear Monitors'

    I’ve been looking for an IEM that has a large soundstage, airiness across the frequencies, good visceral impact, and ample bass. And it looks like the FiiO EX1 2nd Generation has nailed these requirements with aplomb! ***PREAMBLE*** I’m a 41 year old lover of all things sonic, with some...

    Review by 'McSchnauze' on item 'VSONIC GR07'

    After hearing much about the Vsonic GR07, I finally gave in to curiosity and decided to purchase one. It’s been touted as a “classic” and a “reference” model in the world of budget-fi -- I'm here to check out if the GR07 lives up to these monikers. ***PREAMBLE*** I’m a 41 year old lover of...

    Hi, I'm Tristan! I listen to mostly classical and cinematic scores, jazz, world, some rock/alternative/folk and popular music. Been reading (lurking) around head-fi starting early 2018, and this community has been really helpful to me in making informed decisions regarding my audio gear...
