    BQEYZ in-ear monitors Impressions Thread

    I have the BQ3 and really like it for its bass thickness and overall sound signature for EDM. At first I was using big, double-flange tips. But the suction with those when removing the IEMs from my ears resulted in them often slipping off the IEMs. Now I am using 'standard' silicone tips with...

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    I have the BQEYZ BQ3 and really like them, but my eartips keep slipping off because there is no lip holding them back. Already tried hot glue, any tips otherwise?

    TRINITY - PHANTOM/SAGARIS SERIES - Newer Thread (JUST IMPRESSIONS ETC - DO NOT POST ABOUT ORDER STATUS - COMPLAINING - ETC.)

    My only intention is to provide some kind of comparison between the PM4 and a recent Chi-Fi IEM. I know the history here isn't easy, but that shouldn't deter from my point. Anyway, having done some more comparisons, I must say it's closer between these two than I said before. Respect to those...

    TRINITY - PHANTOM/SAGARIS SERIES - Newer Thread (JUST IMPRESSIONS ETC - DO NOT POST ABOUT ORDER STATUS - COMPLAINING - ETC.)

    Got the BQEYZ BQ3 in recently and have been able to compare it to the PM4. Honestly, the PM4 sounds quite a bit better to me. The best way I can describe it is that the PM4 sounds more 'full-bodied'. I am facing the artist/ band playing head-on. With the BQ3, it sounds more like I am backstage...

    TRN impressions thread

    Sweet, good to know. I do not EQ my music ever, trying to keep everything as simple as possible. Then I will go for the V90. I saw other BQEYZ's were also reviewed more positively only after EQ. I got this little USB DAC which is apparently almost as good as the Sonata DAC (it uses the same...

    TRN impressions thread

    I am looking at getting a Chifi IEM for my listening, mainly EDM and a plethora of other genres every now and then. I am looking at the TRN V90 & the BQEYZ BQ3. According to thephonograph (I don't know how much folks trust them?), they are super close in performance and bass/ sub bass impact...

    Curious to hear what you think, and to hear another opinion on them compared to current $50 Chifi IEMs!

    I am pretty sure I did not get a first batch, it took a while before I had my hands on them. Thank you for that info, exactly what I needed to know. It's a rare IEM, and few people have experienced it. I honestly love it, except for the connectors which disconnect sporadically! Hmm, but you...

    Hey everyone, I am still happily using my Phantom Master 4 IEMs! I am curious, do any of you who have listened to these know how they stack up to the modern batch of Chifi IEMs? I wonder if these Master 4's still perform better overall than, say, the BQEYZ BQ3 (link below) or the better-known...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    So I am figuring out how I can get rid of background hiss using my quality Phantom Master 4 IEMs together with my Dell XPS 7590 laptop. Others advised me to go down the mini DAC path, is the HIDIZS Sonata II still the way to go? My IEMs are sensitive, above all I want to get rid of the hiss...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Thank you for that interesting resource @baskingshark , good to know sensitivity is what mainly governs hiss! I do believe a DAC has a lot to offer compared to onboard audio. But I want the most plug-and-play setup I can have... Do you reckon $50 Chifi IEMs (my budget +-) are worth getting a DAC...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    I'm looking for a Chifi IEM, mainly into EDM music but also soft rock or classical. I appreciate sub bass and a wide soundstage, in addition to some isolation (although I have silicon/foam tips for that as well). I am currently using the Trinity Audio Phantom Master 4 but they pickup the noisy...

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    Thanks for all the responses! This is why I like these forums for any matters audio - related :) I will look into a portable USB DAC instead of using onboard audio for my Phantom Master 4's. Still curious about the difference in sound quality between these two IEMs.

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    Because two other pairs of IEMs I tested did not pickup the static. Granted, they were not of the same caliber. I want to use the laptop without an external DAC...
