Would love to hear about your impression in comparison to the Z1R! All very interesting IEMs you listed there...

Really looking forward to that family shootout!

Absolutely makes sense. In my descripion of the differences between H2 and M2 I use different wording, but goes into the same direction: * H2 has a better focused imaging, with each element being more clearly positioned and better separated from the others * H2 has a significantly deeper...

After buying the IER-Z1R I don't listen to the M9 that much any more, so you could say it's my upgrade. But the Z1R sounds quite different despite the nearly identical frequency response, so in that sense it is not an upgrade but a different flavor. The really special thing about the M9 is the...

I find the Z1R very clear, well separated and detailed in the midrange, but volume wise it is a bit recessed, which, I believe, also contributes to the vast and deep soundstage. What did you use for source? The Z1R really benefits from a good source, and it should definitely not sound veiled and...

The best place to discuss this is the "Audio Science Forum" Not "believing in" or "hearing" differences between cables is actually a bliss, it really saves you money! :xf_cool: Nice sources! :thumbsup: Could you say something about the differences between how the M9 sounds with the Adi vs the...

Out of curiosity - which CEMA cable did you get and what is your source?

Out of curiosity - which CEMA cable did you get and what is your source?

I wouldn't say that, and cable characteristics are not only about the conductor material. I found the included copper cable a bit congested, but the CEMA PS which uses a mix of materials is really nice with the M9, refined, better separation and detail, great imaging and staging. Plays to the...

I have been using the CEMA PS cable from AliExpress with good results, described here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sony-ier-m9-impressions-thread.897604/post-16424602 https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sony-ier-m9-impressions-thread.897604/post-16678043 I would have liked to try their famous...

Sounds like your battery is totally dead. Open the Mojo and remove the battery. Try Mojo without battery, if it still works you can get a replacement battery. Take a photo of the battery and the PCB and share. It is generally better to replace batteries when they show clear signs of aging, like...

Are you always using power supplies with enough current? I have been having situations where the Poly ran out of juice while the Mojo 2 was still on green - but the reason was that I was trying to top off the Mojo2Poly at the office with the available USB cables there, and they didn't provide...

This sounds like the user is playing deep sub bass at high sound pressure levels. Like any dynamic driver the Clears have an excursion limit, and it sounds like the user is pushing the headphone until the driver hits the mechanical end stop. The Clears are not built for earth shattering sub bass...

Throwing in another experience... I bought the Mojo1 in 2018, then a used Hugo2 in 2020 and the Mojo 2 early 2022. I loved the Mojo1, and was reluctant to spend the money on the H2, but when I had a chance to listen to a used H2 at a good price I took it and immediately heard the additional...

I have had the B2 but also listened to it with PEQ settings that emulate the Dusk tuning. The main issue I was having with the B2 was that they could sound grainy in the upper midrange/treble region, the second issue was a lack of definition in bass. The Variations is cleaner and more detailed...
