634EARS Sarn II / Nigaki Wood

The native music app is bit perfect. The streaming apps are resampled to 48khz I believe. The Hi Res Streaming option upsamples that to 192khz.

Easy to deal with, great communication and prompt payment.

Hey guys, I'm letting go of my Acoustune collection, with a bunch of extra stuff included. It's up in the classified, just giving you guys a heads up. https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/acoustune-1697ti-1677ss-1657cu.4368/

I'm letting go of my collection, and so I've bundled these with extra accessories. All of them are in excellent condition, and includes all the original packaging. Paypal and shipping covered, will ship worldwide. Please PM for more information...

Pentaconn NIPPON DCIS Pure Silver Cable Pentaconn Ears - 2.5mm $200 USD Wagnus Cable "Moonless" Silver Plated OFC Pentaconn Ears - 2.5mm $150 USD Shipping and PayPal fees included. Proof of purchase can be provided for warranty.

From what I understand, the 1697ti should be identical to the 1695ti. The gold version was a test platform for the pentaconn ear connector and the myrinx composite driver, hence the limited run & availability. It was re-released in silver to fit in better with the rest of the lineup. And you're...

Acoustune released new in house cables, on sale Feb 26th https://www.aiuto-jp.co.jp/information/entry_1157.php

I absolutely agree. The way they present treble detail without sounding thin, mixed with the natural DD timbre is what makes them shine and even addicting at times. But I believe that some adjustments were made with the 77 series in which they added some gain around 8 khz & 10khz, making the...

For a clean studio like, mid foward, precise sound, go for the 1677. Timbre, and seperation is top notch. More sub-bass focused of the bunch. The upper treble might be a bit much as though, even on a warm sounding source. The 1670 might fare a bit better here from the graphs I've seen. This...

The tuning is too different for an apples to apples comparison. Both 1677 and 1657 have their own distinct characteristics which compliments specific types of music very well and while requiring less effort when source matching. The 1697 is the opposite with it's more balanced and subdued tuning...

I think given the impressions from the Youtuber, the 1300 is a more tonally balanced and sweeter sounding iem, a less bright version of the 1677 if you will. But again, he explained that because it's an entry level product with a 3rd gen myrinx driver, it can't compete with the more expensive...

Without knowing your preference, it's hard to give a recommendation and it's always best to audition a product before purchasing it. The 1677SS is very energetic and mid forward, so source matching is necessary to prevent listening fatigue. The 1697TI has a totally different presentation, so...

Impression video for the 1300 in Cantonese for those who understands. I own all the 16xx series, and I'll leave this link here from a Japanese blogger who's impressions exactly matches mine and goes into detail about all three...

Planning to get one through US / CAN channels or Japan import. Is it only the EU version of the 507 that has the volume cap? Does the Canadian/US version have the same thing?

Talking points from video: Upper mid / treble focused hence the "Bright/Illumination" name. Pairs well with acoustic / female vocals. Smooth treble extension. Upper mids have a sheen to it, smooth sounding without any harshness / rawness. Deep bass extension but not particularly energetic or...

For those who understands Cantonese, first impressions from Hong Kong reviewer.

I experience something similiar too, but I can't really pinpoint the problem. On some tracks, there's no hint of it, but on certain songs it's very apparent. It sounds like some crackling / fine buzzing and I only hear it in the mids / lower mids. I thought it was driver distortion and at one...

How would you compare the ER2 with the FDX1 in terms of timbre and imaging? The FDX1 was a suprise to me because of how natural and organic everything sounded. I sold my ER4XR / SR because while they were great at picking up all the fine details and highlighting them, like Crinacle said, they...

The FDX1 doesn't have a particulary rich & meaty bass as most of the energy comes from way down low in the sub-bass region, so I can see why to some people it's a bass light IEM. This was clearly done to mitigate any bass bleed and to highlight the airiness in the upper mids. JVC is clearly...

I just got the 30R US version and found out that it doesn't support Korean for tags and filenames. Does the Japanese version / firmware support it?

So, my ER4 came back from the shop and I'll be going back to it as my daily so I probably won't be using my ZS5 anymore. To those curious about what's inside and to put the questions to rest, I decided to open them up to see what the fuss is all about. This is the V1, so the wirings maybe...

Just curious, what source are you using? From my experience the ZS5 doesn't play well with alot of devices which makes for a tricky pairing. As for the treble, there's no denying that it is brightly tuned, but I wouldn't call them shrill since there's actually not much energy between 4-8khz...
