    The discovery thread!

    Sorry to hear it wasn't up your alley. Good to see a direct comparison with the Maxwell as they should be the same drivers but very different build. I have been mainly gaming on them so far (Steam Deck ) so haven't given them a proper work out for music yet, though have listened a bit. For me...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Very happy to see these long-awaited items finally in people's hands (and ears!) along with impressions and tales of enjoyment :)

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    With a typical planar driver you should have an ultra-thin membrane (in the micron or at the very high end sub micron thickness level) which combined with powerful magnets will give you a driver that has incredibly good transient response and wide frequency range along with very detailed sound...

    SPD=Square Planar Driver They can be a bit controversial as some don't consider them "proper" planars and do not sonically perform like a traditional planar

    There is still the NEO3 for your twin DD & 6 (ish) mm planar action :)

    I'll do a comparison Vs. my lcd-i4s and Sony Pulse Explores (both full fat planars) and listen for the drumskin sound.

    @Dsnuts is probably one of the only people who can say at present (pulled the trigger so can post some thoughts next week hopefully) but from what is presented the micro planar is being used for the higher frequencies in particular not for everything. From his impressions: "If you ever owned a...

    You won't go wrong with the OD200, it's special sauce I think is it's immersion, puts you right in the centre of the action so to speak.

    Yes I think so too,they are likely Maxwell drivers. Reckon they will be better received as well given they aren't relying on terrible eartips like the pulse explore. Been hearing good things about the Pula 02, would-be interested to see how they stack up Vs similar driver configs

    Dunu S&S is now my default rec for eartips. Get the right size for you and they have the form and rigidity to seal, ensure you get that bass thump and security of fit.

    Sony PlayStation Pulse Explore Review : Been enjoying the Sony Pulse Explore buds over the holidays. Built for gaming and media, they come with a proprietary dongle that allows for lossless audio with a latency much better than Bluetooth. Unusually they are planar magnetic with drivers from...

    Anyone use TWS on PC? Looking for balance between 'Sound & Latency'

    As yage says you need a dongle for gaming for sure due to latency, no way around it except wired. The Pulse Explore is my rec for sure, the dongle is included and you shouldn't notice latency playing games using it. Sound quality is great, only things I would say is that you should use your...

    Quick follow up. Yes, to my ears on my phone these sounded good, when amped, utterly awful. Also of note my Penon Totem adapter that usually enhances DD iems did not help here at all, if anything sounded even worse. :thinking:

    On my portable set up these impressed. Fully amped, however they did not. I will give them another listen next weekend and confirm if my initial impressions still ring true. I guess it could be impedance related. My SR 5s still sound best to me on my Bluetooth earhook amps...
