Hey, so the right driver in my Elex has been dead for a while. I finally opened it up hoping to just solder the break, but there does not appear to be a break that I can see. I'm assuming it's under the black goop? Also just wondering if I could possibly source some replacement wire from an old...

Purchased these in 2018, had to replace the cable once. Will come with new filters installed and 2 sets of unused Large Triple flange, the original small triple flange are included and were never used. Also includes two sizes of the double flange tips. Retail packaging, carrying case and all...

I bought these when they released back in the summer. Tried a bunch of tips I had, nothing worked too well. The large stock foams worked best, but allowed them to move around when I was walking/running. I tried SpiralDots, Spinfits, Azla, some worked better than others, but none were great. I...

Photos are from my reddit post (different user name than here) that did not get any attention. Attempting to post here as well to gauge interest. Focal Elex - https://imgur.com/a/C87eief - $525 PayPal. Purchased in 2019, haven't had any issues with it. Comes with both original cables, 6.3mm...

Is anyone having a problem with the Qudelix turning on while charging? I know there's a setting in the app, but it doesn't appear to be working right. On the official forums I see this was a bug back in like April/March. Mine only started doing this since the most recent firmware.

It's very likely some sort of time zone issue with the tracking, it probably went to Germany first, then came to the US.

I don't know if the CP155 does the same thing to the Variations as the Dusk (seeing as how they are they're essentially the same shape), it does reduce the bass a touch, mostly the reverb, but it's not enough to bother me much and the comfort of the Spinfits is king. I push the tip as far onto...

My tip rolling journey with the Dusk continues. I still think overall I prefer how the stock tips sound, but I think I'm getting tricked because it's a touch brighter, giving a perceived clarity increase. However I believe I have settled on the Xelastec, it boosts the bass maybe a bit too much...

I'm am very much enjoying the Dusk so far. The only IEMs in this price range (at least at one time) I've had previously are the FLC8S/N, Sony EX800 and the Etymotic ER4XR. The staging and imaging are something I haven't experienced in an IEM before, the way instruments are separated and...

Welp, tip rolling the Dusk and using up filters before realizing I should just tip roll without filters til I figure out what to stick with lol. Actually preferring the stock tips sound, but they are less comfortable. Xelastec sound decent, but just a bit off. Symbiio, Spiral Dot, Spinfits...

Just got my Dusk in the mail, plugged into my Qudelix 5k for first listen. Sounded okay, but something was strange. Turns out I still had an EQ curve for my ER4XR active, LMAO. Completely ruined my own first impression, what a moron.

Using two different sets introduces the factor that it could just be down to minor (or in the case of some cheap brands major lol) unit variance. Yes, but every so often I like to poke the bear, all in good fun. And like I said if it gets someone to spend more time with an IEM to truly evaluate...

Thanks! Had the Kanas Pro a few years ago, should be a very nice refinement/improvement.

They should find a way to burn in my Blessing 2 Dusk while it's en route, then they would arrive pre burned in over 500 hours.

I'm not battling anyone, that would imply there are two valid sides of the argument, lol. I'm well aware plenty of manufacturer's suggest the same thing. That doesn't lend any validity to it. They don't want someone returning something immediately after hearing it. Which, there are plenty of...

Complete nonsense. I can't believe in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty one people are STILL advocating this stuff. 100 hours, lol. Absolutely possible for a driver to be a little bit stiff from the factory or affected by temperature during shipping, it takes a matter of minutes at...

Bought both the XM4 and the Galaxy Buds Pro to upgrade from my original Galaxy Buds. Unfortunately I think both are going back and I'll stick with the OG Galaxy Buds. The only thing I use them for is working out so sound quality is not the biggest priority. The FR of the Galaxy Buds Pro is...

This is...extremely interesting. Is it something to do with the fit/insertion in the test rig? It certainly confirms my impressions that I much prefer the Treble EQ, even over anything I could customize. MrSallee's measurements show an improvement with that EQ, but not as drastic a change as...

Sometimes I seriously question whether the people designing IEMs and earbuds have ever even looked at a human ear before, lol. I have Symbiios, Spinfits, and some Spiral Dots. Symbiios are the most comfortable mostly because they are so large they keep the housing away from my ear, but they...

The app setting just makes sure it connects as LDAC instead of SBC or AAC. Android will make it always default to LDAC adaptive. If you want to set it to 990kbs, you have to do it in developer settings every time you connect them, at least that's the way it is on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Fairly certain...

I definitely think they're designed to fit shallower than I'm used to, but I can't go any shallower and get a seal, already using the large tips. They are clearly banking on the foam tips holding them in place. The only wireless buds I own are the original Galaxy Buds which fit very snugly and...

Honestly I kinda wish mine fit like that, then maybe they wouldn't hurt my ears. It's the upper part of the housing pressing on the outer parts of my ear that hurt. We shall see if my ears acclimate. I've had IEMs that hurt initially only to end up being very comfy.

I mean you can see it in the frequency response. Treble Boost preset helps split the difference a bit. Again, it doesn't sound bad stock at all, but it's not going to be to everyone's taste.

I'll post here what I posted in another thread. Having only listened for a few hours or so. All the way up through about 2000hz I think they are excellent, but I'm missing too much detail in the upper mids and above. Using the Treble Boost preset really opens them up a bit while keeping...

Sorry, I'm talking about what I tend to prefer, obviously this is purely subjective. Out of the box the Galaxy Buds Pro are closer to what I tend to prefer. That doesn't always translate as far a how technically proficient they may be. The XM3s measures more similar to that, the XM4 has quite a...
