Got a CA Mammoth after returning Andromeda due to very neutral signature and lacking a bit of bass. Disappointed. How could it be worse than IT01? It must be the source (no amp) and no eq setting right? (EDM/D&B/Classical)
Maybe not exactly worse, as it is certainly clearer than my IT01 in some ways, but it sounds very harsh, bass bleeding into mids making the vocals difficult to even hear properly, soundstage doesn't feel good, and it could be sibilant in some tracks. It also gives this metallic hiss kind of...- canzz

Campfire Andromeda bass cracking sound on some songs at 70% volume on Spotify Stream with iPhone. Is my setup not suitable for this earphone, or do I have a faulty unit?
Happy to hear this, thank you. I think I am leaning towards Mammoth now, I wonder if it would perform better or worse with the phone compared to Andromeda, regardless im willing to get whatever dongle/accesorie to make it work. Also, I wonder if I can make it bluetooth somehow for more active days- canzz

Which on would be more suitable for listening Electronic&Rap on more active days where I dont want cables? Shure SE846 or CA Mammoth with Shure bluetooth dongle (not even sure if it works with it)?
Shure 846 seems great, but its quite old now and many would argue it is expensive. Considering I mostly listen to Electronic & Rap, I enjoy the power of dynamic drivers such as the one in my IT01 and Mammoth being a much newer earphone with 1DD+2BA, I was wondering if it would be a better choice...- canzz

You have been super helpful thank you! On the computer Andromeda sounds beautiful, however, im aftaid it is not the sound signature I love too much, highs are a little stronger than I like and the bass althoogh its very clear and tight, sub bass seem to be less than how I like. Im considering to...- canzz

Once again you are right it seems. I never thought apple dongle is good in any way but didn't anticipate it could affect this much. Youtube on the phone cracks, not on the computer.. It must be the dongle!! Are there better dongles? I dont know- canzz

Is Campfire Mammoth would be a big step up from IT01? I have AS10 and IT01is it worth to get Mammoth?
I posted another thread just recently, but it got me thinking of something else question. Somehow the amazing birthday gift I got, Campfire Andromeda is bass cracking on some songs around 70% on Spotify stream on iPhone, and somehow fine on computer. On the phone both KZ-AS10 and IT01 does...- canzz

I am feeling ashamed about this now but no I have not tried it until you asked I got the earphone very recently. I was simply thinking how can IT01 or AS10 won't crack but Andromeda does... Now that I tested it seem only on the phone only Andromeda cracks, and even If I turn off the EQ setting...- canzz

This is my first IEM at this price point and I am very surprised and upset to hear bass cracking sound on some songs while testing. Although Andromeda's sound is lovely and far superior than any earphone I owned, I never really heard a bass cracking sound on such volumes on Spotify with KZ-AS10...- canzz

You guys were right. IT01 is amazing for 100$. Whats next?
Firstly, I'd like to let everyone know english is not my first language my choice of words describing the IEMs might be a little odd but here goes. I've used a bunch of IEMS ranging from SE215,435, yamaha eph-100, AudioTechnica MX50BT (still using) and started CHIFI journey with KZ ES3 than...- canzz

Thanks to you I got the IT01 and I must say this little guy is pretty good! Sound signature fits and also its unexpectedly small and comfy! This will definitely keep me away from checking earphones regularly, at least for a while, until I jump to higher tiers later on. :) Edit: Also...- canzz

Could you briefly explain why its an ancient model by IEM standards? I am not disagreeing and just curious. I know it has been around for a long time but so does many of the Shure IEMs right? They recently announced EPH-200 for $250, I wonder how they sound. Unfortunately there aren't many...- canzz

Yamaha EPH-100
From the couple reviews I've got an impression that EPH-200 is brighter and more neutral. If that is not the case and they share the same sound signature I honestly might go ahead and buy the EPH-200. I didnt know they discontinued the EPH-100. I found in amazon.ca and the fact that it could...- canzz

Can I expect a significant improvement with IT0 over the KZs I mentioned? Only Kanas I see is the pro version. Can you share a link? Below $250 mark, which earphone would you recommend for the sound signature I described? I would be willing to spend that much for a great long-lasting pair. :)- canzz

Got the ES4 in the mail last week. Not very impressed. This is the second pair of KZ i purchased in 2 months. First pair was AS10 which felt like its lacking depth/body on lower frequencies and was somewhat neutral for my taste. I decided to give ES4 a try hoping that 1D+1BA configuration to...- canzz

After a long wait (because of the strike at Canada Post), I got my AS10 last week. It sounded a bit weird right out of the box but it noticeably changed after a little burn-in. This thing is beautiful! :) Cable is comfy, fit is good and It sounds great overall. Treble is smooth with no...- canzz
