The Qudelix-5K thread
Yeah, I was really surprised by how excellent the mic is on the Qudelix, really didn't expect that. I no longer use TWS on calls due to the improved mic quality into the Qudelix and the excellent mic pass through. It's probably hard to demonstrate the mic pass through in a video but basically...- Mossey

The Qudelix-5K thread
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the V50 in general. Despite having pretty powerful hardware it always feels slow and I swear the accelerator is off, it pans from portrait to landscape in a really weird, janky kind of way. Spent quite a lot of money for it when it was first released as...- Mossey

The Qudelix-5K thread
The Qudelix on LDAC is superior to the wired quad DAC. 2 reasons: 1. The quad is inherently noisy, the qudelix isn't. 2. My biggest gripe with the LG quad DAC is that there is a really weak low gain setting for anything with an impedance below 50omhs that cannot be reliably changed, which...- Mossey

The Qudelix-5K thread
Should add that this was mainly tested with regular 16/44 FLACs or MQA stuff (which can also range from stuff that is originally 16/44 or up to 24/96 before unfolding) - I personally can't perceive any difference between regular flacs and MQA anything.- Mossey

The Qudelix-5K thread
This is super unscientific but I have a number of fairly recent phones and haven't been able to find any 'phone A vs phone B' comparisons on connectivity with the Qudelix so thought I'd super briefly post my impressions: Pixel 4 XL - seems to have excellent LDAC performance and will maintain a...- Mossey

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
Bass *might* be slightly more visceral and resolution in the highs *might* be slightly lower, but again I haven’t heard the ER4Ps in ten years and I’ve definitely had some hearing loss since then so this may be on me. Bass- Mossey

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
There are so, so many pages in this thread so I don’t know if someone has already pointed this out but the FiiO FA1 basically uses the same driver as the ER4P and it’s only $99USD. It’s probably been 10 years since my last pair of ER4P’s broke so it’s hard to do a super detailed comparison...- Mossey

Also, how would you compare them to the Xiaomi Piston 3's if you've heard them?- Mossey

That's great to hear, I'm already rather impressed with KZ so definitely looking forward to receiving the Tennmak's then. I know you've already compared the different Tennmak IEMs, however there looks like there's a sale on the Dulcimers on ali happening now. Do you think the sound...- Mossey

Thanks Paul! Kind of wish I'd bought the Dulcimer now though, haha. How would you compare the IE800 with the KZ ED9, if you have them?- Mossey
