i've been extensively listening to the APM for a week and if i could describe the sound signature with only one word it would be "smooth"! This "smooth sound" charasteristic eliminates any fatigue from long listening + the pads are uber comfortable and don't heat up with time... But because of...

Guys, can you recommend a headphone with same signature as H6 but better in all aspects?

Awesome write-up! I've sensed that the 5-Way will retain its status as summit-fi ciem when Nick liked my post :wink: As a side note, i've found my endgame headphone in the form of Bang&Olufsen H6.... I wonder which CIEM in this shootout has the closest resemblance to H6 in terms of sound...

what's the deal with armenians here? btw, i am armenian and haven't received hte above-mentioned transfer yet...:wink: p.s. looks like the King (se5ult) will remain on its throne, as i predicted...

So...could Diana be driven by iPhone?

The main problem with H6 is the price. It is too low. They should be priced at least at 1k$ for people stop asking and comparing the h6 to the likes of hd650 and others...simply because the h6 really sound astonishingly good. So when you hear the H6 and then look at the price you start...

i'm pretty sure that se5ult will remain as the king of the hill however in terms of price/performance warbler comes out top

I've listened to the whole beoplay line - nothing comes close to H6 sound sig.

Let's hope they have the H6 sound signature (which is quite simply JAW-DROPPING)

oBravo's rumoured zeus is 5500$

That's great to hear!   Basically, all these years I am struggling to find the iem with these qualities: extremely large and holographic soundstage with lots of air between instruments (within boundaries of what iem can produce, of course), extremely detailed, extended and non-fatiguing...

Reason I aim asking is that MAYBE there is a certain "WANT" for a particular sound tuning that is impossible to achieve due to pure physics e.g. creating extremely forgiving and non-fatiguing sound BUT extremely resolving

Thanks for the reply!     How do you feel about your MH1? Do you like them? Excuse me for this stupid question as I understand that it is extremely difficult to think outside the box especially when it comes to OBJECTIVELY "reviewing" the iem that costs 3k$

So...if I plan visit Japan once - is it possible to order MH1 or the order process requires second visit?

reading countless reviews on totl iems head fi and then actually listening to the reviewed iems taught me one important lesson - never, EVER buy earphone based on "impression"

I haven't listened to Dita so comparison with Donguri doesn't make sense to me unfortunately I will receive kef m200 this week, will compare it to kaede II (the kef is often compared to radius in that they are very similar in sound sig)

Really?? Then tell Erei, plz, to finish that ******* review asap )))))

me too however i am thinking about donguri ti plus as well...just can't find trusted reviews on them (the guy over jyrab blog is developing a massive cross reference review on donguri/kaede/sakura/kaedeII)

wish i could take a listen ;)

how is it compared to kaede?   I still can't find an iem that will surpass the ocharaku...akt8ie came close but the soundstage is narrower and has less air...I am waiting for a true new generation flat4 to be released not just incremental changes in cabinet size, etc...   I even thought...

I suspect all flat4's share nearly identical sound signature - the drivers are the same, the only difference is cabinet material   I've had the sakura and now the kaede II the difference is really negligible maybe kaede II is a bit more even across FR...

ocharaku is great with iphone   and really incredible with MacBook

@shigzeo, could you describe the differences between donguri ti and akt8ie mmkII?   I've got a chance to listen to mkII and I must say I've really liked it! However it seemed to have more congested soundstage and less air and separation between the instruments than the kaede. But it was less...

i guess there is no such person that heard every earphone so everybody's sense is nonsese
