ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!
I have just one issue with the Neo 3 and it is fit. I half expected it to be a slightly more comfortable Serial, but it is quite a bit worse for my ear and I've tried a bunch of tips. Something about the stem and shell shape gets my ears fatigued in less than an hour. I don't want to sell them...- omarccxr

ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!
After a long wait I got the Neo 3 and I'm afraid to say I'm liking it more than the Serial. The Serial is real good at what it does, and I love it dearly with live music, but I felt the lower mids were a bit dry (with female vocals especially) and the top end sparkle was missing. Stunning...- omarccxr

The PENON official thread
It might be a crime but the 5K with the fake NOS filter is significantly less harsh than the standard filter- omarccxr

The PENON official thread
Anybody tried the Serials on a newer KZ AZ adapter? I tried to wear them on the Shure tws but the fit was terrible.- omarccxr

New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)
One of my drivers got disconnected and I lost all left earcup. What's the best way to open up one of these? After a year with 600 and 6XX I miss em. A 2khz boost is all they need to make me want to listen to music all night.- omarccxr

Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
I haven't listened to MM2 to BF2/64 side by side, but if I were to do it again I'd just get two MM2. Only reason I got the Bifrost was because it lives in my living room setup as a dual system for TV and music so having the remote is plenty handy.- omarccxr

ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!
Thank you! I got the Serial so that is perfect. I'd go out and buy one right now if I hadn't just gotten the Raptgo Bridge which is quite impressive for the price. I'll keep waiting to see what you guys think of it. Is it as power hungry as the Serial?- omarccxr

The shells on the NEO 3 look quite tiny and therefore comfy, anybody got a pic that better visualizes their size?- omarccxr

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
Actually that's when I used the 500s the most, right before bedtime, I had a headphone rig for night sessions and the weight wasn't an issue. But primarily for me WFH time is headphone listening time so I'm usually at the desk.- omarccxr

RAPTGO HOOK-X In Ear Monitor
To be fair it was used so it probably got swapped. I'm picky with cable ergonomic so I was gonna use my own regardless.- omarccxr

The headband is kinda why I sold my HE500. Even with the zmf headband cushion the weight was s bit much if you don't have much hair on top. I didn't want to bother with a headband swap either. But they were the headphones I would grab whenever someone came to the house and I wanted to share the...- omarccxr

RAPTGO HOOK-X In Ear Monitor
I had a BTG Audio cable lying around I wasnt using and it's more comfortable. Mine came with a fairly heavy microphonic purple cable. Also went straight for my azla max tips as they fatigue my ears less. I was hoping these wouldn't change that much between dacs/source, but they sound better the...- omarccxr

Source for Apple Music
All of my systems have a chromecast audio hooked up to it, and on Android Apple Music has casting. So that's my go-to for everything. It matches the song's bit rate without issues.- omarccxr

Looking for low end grunge
EQ is worth it's weight in gold. No DAC change is gonna be that noticeable. Source is pretty important to me, but at best it's a 10-20% improvement and it's only really noticeable when critically listening.- omarccxr

RAPTGO HOOK-X In Ear Monitor
I just got scored the Bridge for $90 and they're pretty impressive. I also ended up with the gold filter, the other ones feel like they blunt edges. Sure it's smoother, but I don't find the gold filter particularly piercing. I also wasn't a fan of the mids with the silver filter. In fact, I...- omarccxr
