    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    It's funny when I first saw the shell I was like "no way is that going to fit my small ears". However, after trying them at Canjam I was shocked how comfortable they are for me. For me they have a "thickness" to their sound that I rellay enjoy, especially because I listen to mostly metal and prog.

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    This might seem like a stupid question but I’m going to ask it anyway. Any of you ever listen to an album with the exact same iem’s and dap one day and go “this sounds phenomenal” and then a few days later listen to the exact same combo and go “sounds kinda treblely not really thick and just ok” 😂

    I don’t think you can download the Hiby music app. I tried and it doesn’t even show up anymore in the Google play store.

    I heard the Mjolnir this week and compared it to an elenium amp and chord 2 fed from various daps. The amp dac combo sounded much more full bodied and rich to me. I used various iem’s. However, they both sounded fantastic.

    I like this but I guess bc of the file names or album name I can’t add it to my sd card. Tried changing a lot and still doesn’t go on. Just get a beep. Oh well…

    Here's my mini review. I've owned many DAP's and still have the DX160, Hiby RS6 (for sale soon), Hiby R3 Pro Saber, and the DAP's listed below. It's very good for the money. Very fast operation and good sound. The soundstage isn't as wide as my R8II (nor do I expect it to be), but it actually...

    No it's certainly not. In fact, I like the way high gain sounds with both my Mest MK2's and the Raven better. Gives a little more low end.

    Just got them and like both the velvets and AET07. The AET07 could be the winners here and surpass the CP145’s for me. I need a little more time but the first impression was very good.

    I heard the Raven on the 1ZM2 recently and liked it. However after switching back to my R8II I felt it gave a bit more of everything you probably like about the raven. Really good synergy imo. It has a little more crispness and soundstage to my ears especially with turbo and medium gain. But...

    Ok. I found a lot of wide bore tips a tiny bit fatiguing in the upper mids or treble. Keep in mind I’m using the ravens with the R8II which is a brighter dap imo. But the AET07’s are on order so we shall see.

    Just ordered the AET07’s and velvets. We will see if I like them. It will probably take 5-7 days to get them.

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I tried the dc elite yesterday and loved the sound. I used it out of the Hiby R8II. The only issue I had was the volume. I felt one notch was too low and the next one up was just a little too loud. Shame bc it sounded great. I tried it out of my friends Sony ZM2 and felt the volume control was a...

    I guess the pulse is good with raven? I was thinking about buying another cable.

    Still prefer the cp145’s. The Omni’s were a pain to even get on. However they did sound pretty good. And the origin’s weren’t bad either but a tiny bit fatiguing in the treble/mids region with decent volume. I believe that the 145s give the warmest bass with still good detail, so for now those...
