    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Yes. Without eq, terrible. With music profile, fairly impressive sq ...bass is solid and they're quite spacious. but there are major failings that should motivate you to not buy for more than 75.... sibilance prone, sub-standard noise cancelling (like really, really bad...makes some sounds...

    Holo Audio Red Streamer

    Anyone ever get variable volume playback with tidal (with volume control on and off)-->Mac-->red? Basically destroyed a set of headphones BC the volume jumped an alarming amount. Does not happen when connected to android devices.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    i've run my enigmas on all of the following: - r26 (weird dac imo...with some treble emphasis and relatively tight bass at least from the balanced out), 2qute (truly easy/balanced listening from my perspective), soekris 2541 (even more relaxed and relatively loose bass) + singxer sa-1 (super...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Think I'm picking up on a trend where enigma is treble harsh and enigma + owners feel differently. Wonder what that's about. Asked bob ages ago whether ESTs were used for highs/ultra highs and (for titan at least) he suggested they were not. I find my enigma (no +) imperfect with respect to...

    Extremely kind and helpful. IEMs sent and arrived quickly. Would buy from again.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Mine not burnt in...so not what you've asked for. That said... They're bassy and musical. Pretty aligned to house sound. There are no surprises here...treble is nice on blue tops... find them a little fatiguing after a few tracks (see final paragraph for possible explanation)... listening to MJ...

    Shanling H7 - High-End Portable DAC/AMP/Player, Featuring new AKM AK4499EX Flagship DAC

    @Shanling I jumped onto the h7 boat and am very pleased with the sound performance . That said, I use this at a desk predominantly for extended periods. Like I will go through a whole battery and then some during a typical work session. Not being able to bypass the battery or charge while...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I briefly owned kks that I got for a very good deal and returned them due to driver flex and related pressure issues. No IEMs, much less expensive ones, should be designed to flex or feel like they are bulging your ear drum on insertion/removal. I remain ignorant, as I think everyone else on the...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Belated question about IMRs and BC drivers. For those of you with sets with BCs, do you actually feel the set vibrate or is it the sort of deal where it is so subtle that you have to have faith in it?

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I'm revisiting my rah 23s and the copper cable does them such a disservice. Just got a shipment of AliExpress-sale-bought cables, including nicehck greenmood. Treble is much more extended and defined...cymbals which were a point of contention are a bit better defined and brought forward slightly...

    GUSTARD DAC-R26 Balanced Decoder R2R+1Bit Dual Native Decoding Music Bridge

    Don't know about others but I'm sat at my desk setup with a r26 (owned for a long while and connected to smsl po100 pro via hdmi) and chord 2qute (owned for a less long while and connected to the same as above via optical) and they sound absolutely identical. Listening to iems via singxer sa1...

    Shanling UA5 - Next step in our portable USB DAC/AMPs

    Mine, with minimal use over a year and a bit, has pretty bad screen burn-in but not dimming like this. When you scroll, are you seeing afterimages of this? @Shanling this screen burn-in issue has stopped me from buying your H-line of products. Have you taken steps to get better screens for...

    JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones

    Just writing a reflection on the XTC 2s: I bought these a couple months back and listen to a variety of iems/headphones over the course of a given week (err...day)...so these don't get played 100% of my music listening time. For the first month I was a bit worried about this set and I was...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Credit where it's due. The enigmas sound astounding with classical this evening. Stravinsky's Firebird suite- infernal dance of king kaschei performed by London symphony orchestra has got me a bit stunned. Running on grey tubes, black filters with divinus tips. If you've got a set, try...

    Just bought these. There's no... venting. How do others handle pressure build up?

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Agreed no BAs in Enigma, but there are in seraph. Point I was trying to make was that previously I thought the BAs were hot, but now suspect it's the MEMs. Have been listening to different tracks on my warm set up and, yes, some are fine but just as many if not more are spicy. 90% of hip hop...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I commented a while back about sibilance issues and challenged the idea that they were coming from the MEMS and not BAs (comparing seraph to enigma). Well I will eat my words because I'm finding the enigma sibilant with vocals which is a shame. Running grey tubes and red filters. Not abandoning...

    My normal Enigma (not +) has only one tube inside and only one vent hole on top.

    Comment by 'Headphoneprobs' in item 'Sonic Memory SW2'

    I blind bought. Had some shenzhen credit built up and thought would try out. They're sick. I'm not going to do a full review, but compared to my other single dds...which are few...they trounce...and trounce a fair number of my multi driver sets. Very mid forward with vocals popping up in front -...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I use one M and one L. The brass sits on top of the imr tube/filter. The main issue for some (me included) is getting them deep enough for BC drivers. With titan it means really shoving them as far as possible into my ear which results in physical fatigue relatively quickly. The brass tube is...

    Curious about nale driver flex...big bro dark matter has some serious airflow and didn't notice the same on the nale photos. Owners, you getting any flex with them?

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Btw have to re-emphasize that the JM audio XTC2s are worth this group's consideration as they share a fair amount of SQ DNA with IMR but headphone format. Truly impressed by them with burn in.
