only me

I’m still loving my red RY4S 32ohm originals. They sound great especially for movies and shows. I have all kinds of expensive buds but I keep coming back to them. Great soundstage, deep low end and articulate mids and highs. And they’re consistent! I have 2 or 3 in rotation and a couple in the...

Good luck with that! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Ha ha for sure!!! hypoallergenic scent free detergent in case anyone was wondering…

Did laundry and discovered my missing RY4S’s as I was transferring the load into the dryer. The foams were still on. I let them sit for 3 days and happy to report, they sound exactly as they did before a double cold cycle! I even compared them to an identical set. Shocked.

You’re making me feel better about cancelling my order. I decided I needed a new audio interface instead and went with a really nice audient id14 mk2. Very happy with it! I know I would most certainly miss the top end if I got the em5. Please keep us posted if anything changes with burn in!

Wow that’s really interesting! Makes a lot of sense!

I love the MK2. Was a great allrounder for me. Amazed that I could hear sounds behind me. Haven't experienced that with any other earbud.

Wow thats a fantastic tip! I'm gonna start using silica packets inside my hard cases. Thanks for that!

Makes sense. Again, really appreciate the info!

Thx! Thats really good insight. I might have to check out the chaconne. I like an airy sparkly top end.

I’ve been wondering about that. I recently started using my SWD2+ without foams and they sound really fantastic that way. I guess I shouldn’t take that chance. Appreciate the advice.

Thank you! Very useful to hear your impressions. Wondering if using without foams brings back some of those distant highs...

You inspired me. Just ordered the em5. The price drop and return possibility convinced me. Been really curious about it for a couple of months so now I’ll get to find out for myself. I’m very interested in hearing how it stacks up to the swd2+ and all my blurs.

I see that general impressions on the Fiio Em5’s are that they sound slightly rolled off. Wondering if anyone has used them without foams and if that helps extend the top end.
