    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Well, it's been several months now. I want to have replacements on hand. I went to the Sennheiser website (US), and it pointed me to cushions for the IE-300, and to top it off: Needless to say, my first reaction is What The eFF? Oh, and another thing, when I push the dual-fit cushions into...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Where can a customer buy replacements for the included cushions? And other cushion mfgs, are they going to make models that take advantage of the dual-depth feature in the aftermarket?

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    I've had my IE-900's a month. The first week while catching up on this thread, I was feverishly switching back and forth between these new IEMs and my wonderful A&K T8iE MkII's. Back and forth. Same music. With the purchase of the IE-900's, I've reinforced the fact that I much prefer...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    "Sibilance refers to the high-frequency components of certain vocal sounds, especially “s” and “sh”. Sibilance lives in the 5 to 10 kHz frequency range and can cause problems if over-emphasized in a recording." In many cases, it is the bane of audio engineers, who collectively have come up...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    The IE900's mate in my realm is the Astell & Kern Futura SE-100. These babies like the hell out of the potential 4.1 Vrms (bal) out of the A&K. Playback is effortless, and the combination could make ears bleed. Like I alluded to in earlier posts, where I'd set volume @ 106 on my A&K T8iEs, I...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    I hadn't even heard of this "Belkis" piece until about 2 years ago. Now this suite version is one of my favorites. This RR version goes all out, and makes good on all the requirements of the score, including a real tenor. And to think I considered myself well-versed in music. Sheesh! Oh...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Au contraire mon ami. Power isn't about average volume only. When you listen to a wide dynamic range recording with no compression, your average listening only takes maybe 1/100th or less of the actual power output of your DAP. Since volume is not linear in its progression but rather...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Hmm. Reminds me of Ray Lynch, but without the bass roll-off. Definitely driven by rhythm, not so unlike Le Sacre..

    My IE900s absolutely love recordings from Telarc and Reference Recordings. But with Telarc all but gone, who's stepped in?

    I've been buying Comply for so long that when I found these in the IEM closet, I have no recollection of ever purchasing them. Does anyone recognize these? I'd love to find some more. Does anyone recognize these cushions?

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Bought mine directly from Sennheiser a couple of weeks ago. Right now, it's a back and forth between my T8iE's and the IE-900s. I'm a big fan of single-driver units, and I think I have the best two I've heard. I ended up calling support on an issue that I've experienced trying to use some of...

    Astell & Kern AK T9iE

    Well, the T9iE just went up a hundred bucks from $1199 to $1299 on their website. I love my T8iE's, but their warranty is crap at 1 year on high-end IEMs. I bought mine before they were so famous, and only paid $700. One side went out and I contacted A&K to get information on the repair...

    Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews

    On my SE100, this new latest firmware (08/02/2019) has started hanging on "Settings". Activating it, it sits for a second or two, then asks me if I want to wait or go ahead and close "Settings". It's fairly consistent. is there any logging that we can look at to see what the hang may be?
