if there isn't at Aliexpress and Taobao etc there isn't. I don't think you need those for Bonneville. The shells on the chromatic line up won't get peal off like the metal shell does. Speaking of protection, my 3-year-old well-used Andromeda (500hr+) looks nearly straight out of a brand new box...

gonna spend some time with BS

The only reason why Shure does not sell red filters gen1 user is simply they want you to spend 1k again. Shure made se846 unintentionally too durable that it last more than 5 years+ for many users. so people just buy once and be done with it. Shure in their true mind want to extract from...

I go pop, edm, and hiphop on Andro. Metal, classical, movie ost I go with Ara

andro 2020 is more smooth and easy to listen to. Ara is more linear and not as fun as Andro. I wish Ara was a straight upgrade to Andro but instead, they are in a different category. However, I do use Ara a bit more than andro (6:4 ratio I would say).

for sure it is heavier iem than most of iem out there but it is not fatiguing to wear them.

Gratz on Black Star. My current favorite IEM out of my IEM collection. CFA nailed the tuning on BS.

I found a brand new Ara sale online for clearance! Ara is discontinued and the deal was too good so I just had to pull the trigger. Adding Ara to my metal shell iem collection!

I am currently running black star on Ifi diablo with 4.4 fiio btr7 with 4.4 Sabaj d5+ Thx789 with xlr adapter Qudelix 5k 2.5 adapter

Unless you need a fancy lather case, you can buy 3.5mm version and buy 4.4 cable separately :)

Black Star is more engaging and forward presence sounding iem than andro 2020. It has slightly better definition and clarity than andro 2020. Lower frequency has more body but still extremely fast so it doesn’t mask over any regions but add fun energy to the song. Coming from 64A u12t and...

Loving these pairs :) Black star is a treat from Christmas!

I do not own any of Solaris as it was not my preferred sounding iem even if I demo many time. If you love Solaris the way it sounds and presentation, Black Star might not be your choice. Take my words with a grain of salt as I do not own Solaris and only demo 3~4 times last year.

I currently have Andromeda 2020 and a black star in my hand. Black star is ever so slightly more U shape. it has more bass but the black star is tighter so it does not feel bassy at all compared to Andromeda 2020. Mid seems to be fairly similar but the black star is a little more forward imo...

Really liked supermoon. If I have to grab only one iem from cfa, Supermoon is the one I am going with.

They look gorgeous in hands. As metalhead I love them. Kick snare is fast as lightning, guitar is vivid and alive. Picking up note effortlessly but still gives you the forwardness. Crash and high can bit slightly too aggressive depending on your hearing and volume, but you can tame it down...

Just got my pair yesterday from the local audio shop. At first, I was not interested at CFA since I listened to their previous flagships and it happens to be my least favorable sounding. but I gave them a chance and started to demo their latest Chromatic iems. I was deeply impressed with...

It's Funny As soon as I post on this thread, I got a call from Sennheiser Canada directly and offers me a refund. I guess someone from Sennheiser Canada monitors the forum as well(Just Kidding). Thank you for your kind help you are the only person who responded to me for my trouble.

Ordered this from https://en-ca.sennheiser.com for a week they still haven't shipped my order. No one is available for live chat, no reply to an email, and no one picks up the phone. Also, the number on the Sennheiser Canada page is directed to Digital river, and yet they are not in charge of...

Selling Focal Clear MG headphones. Very mint condition. comes with the original package and accessories. Had it for 4 months but haven't used it for 2 months at this point and want to empty the shelf. $1200 shipped no Paypal fee Nor looking for any trade. Thanks

Received Ety Evo couple days ago. It is very nice looking iem and built like tank. Stainless steel body is quite heavy but feels nice to have it in hand. So far I like how it sounds. it is neutral + mild bass boost on the sub-bass area adds a bit of warmth into the song. It is the 3rd iem from...

I would say yes. I have been listening to clear mg for about 60~70 hours now so I think the burn-in process on the surround of the diagram is pretty much done. Putting new mg pad turn mg sounds bit hallow around 4khz even with 70 hours of the burned-in. I think the current generation of focal...

it's been about a week since I got clear MG Pro on my hand. I think I had about 50~60 hours on my head listening to them almost all day while working. I've paired it to Sabaj D5 + THX 789 combo very very linear DAC and AMP combo. As my Clear MG pads form around my head, I start to hear a...

if you play a track that has a low frequency near 5~20hz like Sub-Grinder by Bassotronics above a certain DB, the driver starts to hit the maximum excursion. When Driver hits maximum excursion, you can hear low-frequency strat to create a popping sound. that is what clipping that people talking...

Just got mine today! I have already been using Focal stellia, so I wasn't expected to be this good but oh man.. I am loving it so much!
