What aura

I definitely do hear extra fullness in the midrange with Ascension. It's not a neutral nor energetic set by any means. You can listen to Miles Davis' version of It Never Entered My Mind without being beheaded. You might find commercial metal sounds a bit less menacing, though pleasing in a...

I'm over the moon with Ascension, but that polish comes at a cost. Aggressive guitars and vocals lose some 'danger' compared to other sets. It's a trade I'm willing to make, and I consider it a plus because of how long they're in my ears each day without fatigue. I also can hear into those...

Seems to be some agreement on Aurora and Neon Pro, but descriptions of Ascension are all over the place.

She expresses displeasure upon hearing Einstürzende Neubauten or Albert Ayler. This way she's free. Such framing doesn't work unfortunately.

I've noticed. I don't typically head-fi at home and after I bought Ascension, my girlfriend thinks there's something wrong.

Curiosity about the novel drivers will definitely get the best of me. Far from tired of Ascension at this point though. And as a man once said about regret, "it's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done. And by the way, if you see your mom this...

The price is good, although I wonder with all those tunings in one if Ascension was necessary. They just came out a few months ago. Been in the hobby long enough though to realize there's no room for regret.

I'm not sure some words in forum are going to sway these guys. They seem pretty set on doing things a certain way.

I was joking. That's great news, though I guess it's not strong enough to be a therapeutic dose of bone conduction. However, according to DDMonster it will induce a boner. So there are off-label uses.

Yes, the Beedi Baba himself, wearing the sweater vest I knitted for him all those years ago. If it's $1200, I'm in after the Ascension honeymoon wears off, provided they are silent to people nearby. My primary listening room is the train, and it's really quiet.

Maybe we should play The Price is Right. Obviously DingDongMonster should choose the prize. My guess is between $1800 and $2200, but I'll say $1899.

Can passersby hear the sound from these bone conduction IEM? When I'm on a leisurely hike I can hear a bit too much 80's Top 40 from the joggers coming down the hill. It hurts my soul.

I wonder if it even can be refined much beyond that. That's the quality of bone conducted sound. I've played with various bone conduction headsets through the years and the best of the ones I've heard still sound as you describe. According to Tomatis, normal hearing is a combination of air...

Maybe one of the experts will talk about how they affect an iem. I read the work of Alfred Tomatis years ago and experienced his method using bone conduction through the skull. It seems to me that bone conduction is a facet of sound apprehension that is natural with loud music in a room, but...
