I bought them from some store on Aliexpress and there is a graph in a Chinese review which I posted in this thread before I bought them. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005015814425.html https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/577232315

Jackpot with the Fono Reference 01, it's a truly excellent single DD set. If you've got $500 to waste and are into dynamics, just get them, you won't regret it.

Turii Dark Magician RX10

Lots of love for the Zen Pro I see, I have them and I don't like them. Great technicalities and close to the Turii on that front in my collection but I just don't like the tuning, simply to shouty for me.

I finally received the Reecho SG-03S after quite a long wait a couple of days ago (that's what you get when you buy from an obscure shop with the cheapest price). It's not too bad. As per @Dsnuts review, what struck me the most was the bass quality and the uneven treble that has a significant...

Crinacle's E5000 graph has both compensated and raw measurement curves: https://crinacle.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/E5000-1536x708.jpg Maybe @baskingshark mesurement is compensated as it would surprise me unit variations or hardware setup would show as much difference as we see in the...

Shells are made of zirconium, not pewter.

I prefer a written review with pics than any video. Videos are such a waste of time.

EA500 update: Good news, RHA T series, FiiO FD series and Dunu Falcon Pro nozzles are compatible with the EA500. I have tried the RHA bass and reference ones so far and while the former was fun for a little while, it was way too bassy with it for me for long term use, the reference one seems...

Kevlar is the most well-known brand of LCP.

Do they? Nothing fell apart that's for sure. Anyway, as change was so minimal as to possibly be placebo, I've screwed them back in. Still have to try out the Hibiscus cable but I'm enraptured by the Hola now so it'll have to wait.

A bit late to the party, I thought I'd check out some Truthear gear, and the Zero and Hola arrived this morning. Early impressions and likely final verdict is that I like the Hola a lot and dislike the Zero quite a bit. On the EA500 front, I have removed the bolts next to the back vents and...

I'm not a cable believer but, as I have that FAAEAL Hibiscus cable, I guess it doesn't cost me anything to try it out on the EA500, right?

They're very good, amongst the top of the pile here, but a bit of hit and miss tonally for me due to the treble presentation, it works on some but not on others for me. I could say that for a number of other IEMS I have though. Let's say that if you don't mind the kind of treble spiciness they...

Ah, so they don't graphs the same at all. Makes sense as my perception of EN700 Pro is that of a well balanced v-shape whereas I perceive EA500 as neutral-bright. The EN700 Pro, however, feels too bright to me too at higher volume.

I haven't compared graphs from EN700 Pro and EA500 but I take it from your post they are similar throughout the whole spectrum. If so, then perhaps it's down to the bass which is quite sloppy on the EN700 Pro with a slower decay than on the EA500 and so the EN700 Pro feels warmer overall.

Dissapointed by both Simgots I got lately, EA500 and EN1000 alike, they are just too bright for me. Was hoping for an EN700 Pro upgrade but nope unfortunately. Funnily enough I tolerate the Cayin Fantasy more even though it's brighter than both of these.

@Rockwell75 : The numbers are from manufacturers' published specs.

Prices are what they are because there are enough people willing to pay as much IMHO. Look at the latest line of Sennheiser IEMs, from the horse's mouth they all sport the same drivers, and the difference in cost of the shells, resonators and accessories certainly accounts only partially for...

The FW1800 has arrived, these are good, my, my... Used IE600 and used Chord Hugo purchased today, lol, the drain on the wallet never stops.

Soon the iem review videos will have to migrate to Pornhub I guess...

Shipping of the FW1800 from Drop is fast, mine's already in the country. :)

How different from RE2000?

Well, the analogy was that, like sugar, harman is immediately perceived as most pleasant to most people and I also feel that harmanish signatures are now, for this reason, almost as widespread in the iem industry in general than added sugar is in the food industry. I used to like harman tuning...
