    Aful Performer Impressions Thread

    Which at that point, I began to think that they don't listen to those who follow or became fans of their products. Similar to the change in Cantor's faceplate design and tuning. Could be an issue in sourcing raw materials and cost as well, though I do hope they're able to refine and retune the...

    Simgot IEM discussion thread.

    Just fixed the link, didn’t know why it didn’t work in the first place being the same URL as in Facebook. Anyway, I also have the IE 600 but they’re very different like apples to oranges. IE 600 is my fave v-shaped technical single dd with a bit spicy treble and a very engaging listen while the...

    Kinda like their mind was already made up despite the survey, just for content post. 😅

    Simgot IEM discussion thread.

    The SuperMix4 have been a smooth, balanced well-rounded set that will please even the bright-sensitives consider trying. Very impressive especially its technicalities in the $150 price bracket. Sharing my Simgot SuperMix4 impressions -...

    Review by 'd m41n man' on item 'Simgot Supermix 4 (1DD + 1BA + 1 Planar + 1 PZT)'

    Intro Simgot has had quite a 2023 and maintained momentum going in to 2024 with its release of the EA500LM, improving on its predecessor in all fronts. Though it has to be said that despite the number of Simgot fans and followers, there is the polarizing camp that is the opposite and are not...

    Reply to review by 'd m41n man' on item 'AFUL Explorer'

    @Argha the details are there, there’s pinpoint imaging but the instruments and vocals are closed-in near the middle. Intimate meaning it’s singing/whispering close to you but somehow sounds more natural. Though it actually provides better articulation and information than the Performer5 (for me)...

    Review by 'd m41n man' on item 'AFUL Explorer'

    Introduction Yes, I know. Countless memes have been written about the brand but there's no denying what AFUL have paced since its introduction to the mass market. Starting off with the Performer5, I can understand its appeal to most people but I myself couldn't get over its apparent BA timbre...

    Introduction Oh Timmy... he has come a long way since his first venture into collabs. With Gizaudio still being my first recommendation to newbies as the review channel of choice due to its easy to grasp content, on-point (at most) reviews, and the best length for videos in terms of gaining...

    Sounds fantastic for its price due to the timbre and a bit of note weight. There's that feeling of naturalness that fits its overall tuning, just listened to The Corrs, Fleetwood Mac, TS and Ariana Grande earlier with it.

    Definitely prefer the Explorer over the Performer5 for me. Timbre is better and more natural in the Explorer than the P5's apparent BA timbre. Bass also felt well done and the mids have the right thickness, the P5 felt a little lean for me. Resolution seems neck and neck but the Explorer though...

    Exploring the AFUL (with the now defunct Performer3 name) Explorer. Just got mine and it is a beautiful sight to look at in the $120 price bracket. So far, the sound is no slouch either. The bass going into the mids is full of heft and body, such a smooth listen. I wouldn't consider it neutral...

    Introduction All the way from Malaysia, Elysian Acoustics Labs has burst into the IEM audiophile scene as 'the' dream endgame set. Since the release of the Annihilator, the X, and its latest 2023 rendition - it has been the default pick for most who could actually afford and wanted a top-tier...

    Elysian Pilgrim

    These two seem to be a better comparison basis. The Gaea is still the more energetic and vocal-forward of the two yet the Pilgrim takes some of the smoothness of the Diva especially on the top end as well as not being borderline shouty (which the Gaea is at times especially with Spinfits). Both...

    Elysian Pilgrim

    This is actually one of the most accurate and comprehensive insights similar to my experience with the Pilgrim while still owning the Gaea, it just keeps you listening to your music and has that hard-to-put-down factor. Overall tuning and timbre is spot-on. Will have to listen side-by-side with...

    Elysian Pilgrim

    Actually quite close in terms of punch and slam. Though the IE 600 edges it out in rumble for me.

    Elysian Pilgrim

    I myself have the IE 600 as favorite as well. The Pilgrim seem to have a balanced U-shape with just a bit of bright tilt. Bass quantity is more on the IE 600 but as an overall value and delicate balance across the frequencies with the resolution to flex, I'd give it to the Pilgrim.

    Elysian Pilgrim

    Just got mine in the mail and I have to say even when toning down my expectations, how did Elysian achieved both this level of tuning and timbre at this price? They're very spot-on. These just have that can't-put-these-down factor on initial listen. Treble peaks from the Gaea seem to have...

    Intro It seems that much has already been said about Simgot's EA1000 though with the number of Chi-Fi releases and hype sets that are being released at a rapid pace, one has to wonder - is it still competitive now? I might be late reviewing my set and as much as possible, I wouldn't want to...
