depends on the manu usually they're gonna blame the impressions but some have been nice enough to do rebuilds for me

Some were able to refit albeit not perfect, just "good enough" to seal and be comfortable, and some were not salvageable and had to be rebuilt entirely. I can usually tell if it can be fixed by conventional refit or if it requires a rebuild. The easiest is when something is too tight cuz you can...

No it was inconsistent every time. Could be pressure points in inner or outer, could be left side loose, right side, tight, whatever, doesn't matter, I've literally done over a dozen attempts since 2016 from a variety of different audiologists in both Toronto and NYC at different clinics who...

exaggerated chewing historically best method for me and the only one that produced 2 perfect molds including my fitear, vs literally over a dozen other tries of varying methods including relaxed/closed mouth. entirely personal ear shape, environment/circumstance on the day of, and of course up...

The person at the table I was talking to noted that I had listened to it for quite a long time, which is rare for me to do at these kind of shows, so I must have liked it 😅 I'm not in the market for a portable amp right now but they're quite affordable so I'll think about it

I'll check it out as soon as it arrives to e-e for demo

Used their Walkman IC to wm1z og (J region stock tuning), wasn't using a Brise cable but that would just add more boom if it was a Shiro lol. Was using FitEar 334SR as my main test IEM, but I've heard the Tsu v2 under a variety of different set ups and that amp has always been boomy, it's kinda...

no completely packed and always had a line. I'll try it when it hits e-ear There's no denying it's a highly capable amp, the amount of power it has with how clean the output is, is certainly an accomplishment, but it's going to heavily depend on source/cable/iem synergy.

2025 Headphone Festival Mini Spring (Fujiya-Avic) Really wanted to like the See Audio Kaguya 2 cuz I like the driver config and it's pretty cheap but I thought I heard some coherency issues. Shame cuz the treble was pretty fun, a bit lighter on the bass than I expected, vocals were solid but...

Ah ok I was gonna say I saw sound warrior at headphone sai but didn't spend much time there, good to know!

Didnt read any of the material since I was super focused during the 10 minute demo slot, also slipped my mind to ask Suyama-san. I kinda just automatically assumed it was being manufactured in-house

Yep pretty close to 334SR

I too own a 334SR and it is one of my favourites, but sometimes I want something with a little more treble extension and occasionally crave the DD timbre. DC Ti fits that description quite well I'd say. BTW the Fitear headphone, projected 80-90k MSRP if I heard correctly, Fall launch. It sounds...

The question is idk how the K2 differs from the H1. Wasn't available to demo side by side and I hardly remember what the H1 sounded like. K2 would probably get fatiguing though but maybe ok as a custom fit. Had the same feeling with the Room2. Still, I'm most likely just gonna buy a DC Ti next.

K3 is a 334 yeah. K2 is a K1 with a tweeter. Kinda bright and a bit bass light but really fun treble with fitear-like vocals. I might wait for them to recycle it on a different collab but I quite liked the K2 lol.
