Received my lbbs recently, have tried stuffs like chaconne, smabats, blurs, but gotta say the lbbs is incredibly well-rounded. Though eq is certainly not needed, they respond well to eq. Most comfy shell i have encountered thus far + able to wear these both downwards and iem-style. Last but...

Hey! Just got my own xelentoes recently, I found RHA single flange tips to be a perfect match (I tried tips from most aftermarket brands). It reduces the bass very significantly, sounds a touch mid forward with this tip. I dont know why anyone might do this but i was just fiddling with stuff i...

Some of the customer reviews says it doesnt fit well and occasionally drops off, so maybe not that ideal fyi.

Hansound Zentoo Short Review Han Sound Audio's revision of their zen did not change much looks wise, soft and supple cable albeit slightly bulky connectors (may be a nuisance/extra durability however you view it). Nice coppery shine to it. This cable is a demo unit from Music Sanctuary. Sound...

yup this answers my question thanks :) i just wanted to know if anyone has/its possible to mod the fw to such an extent since people have said that fw changes affect soundstage etc apart from just the sound sig i know eq exists but just seeing if anyone has modded the fw to alter sound...

oh let me clarify i meant is modding the fw to sound like 1z. imnot sure if this is a thing but just curious

sorry if someone asked before in this massive thread but anyone tried tweaking 1z firmware to fit on 1a? since firmware changes sound 1a should be able to sound like 1z if the firmware is tweaked? i recognize hardware still different so wont be exact but it should close the gap am i right

done!

alright i see. thanks for your replies!

hey guys would like to ask for recommendations. i prefer natural tonality (natural=/=neutral to avoid confusion) with big soundstages. im using oriolus mk2 mainly, and shortlisted a few options: dx150,dx200,zx300,m3s. i have tried the latter two and inclined towards zx300 currently. im coming...

havent tried that, only tried zst which wasnt sibilant for me

would like to add on, md+ was actually sibilant at times for me even with deep fit. but thats just me being somewhat sensitive to sibilant. would be good if you can ask around to demo one if u r sibilant prone!

ive had opportunities to try it04. i feel its still on the warmer bassier side of things and packs a good punch. definitely good in terms of sq but signature wise might not fit what youre looking for. andromeda is pretty close to flc8s on gold grey red, with slightly more bass (especially...

was busy previously oops. cable wise i think most people prefer pw for their body in lows but i rather silver material at times i guess. so far the cables i tried just give differrnt flavour to oriolus, it doesnt really go too wrong. as usual most silver cables result in a brighter presentation...

not sure if u believe cables but i find oriolus responds well to cable changing so that might solve the bass problem, not too sure bout treble peaking though also have u tried andromeda? it seems like something along those lines you described as of the iems i have expereinced

oriolus is not boomy in my opinion as well but its definitely a bass with slower decay than usual BA bass and regarding signature i was looking at it in terms of quantity not quality, i considered boominess(decay) a quality haha misunderstood it oops

cascade is a full size so comparing with iem feels pretty unfair imo

ok will get a lieb then :) thanks

ah ok thanks guys but would u guys say the svara/ebx/lieb are comparable even at different price points? these are all within budget so alls good. lieb ergonomics seems questionable though

been lurking around and decided on making a jump at either liebesleid/svara l/nicehck ebx/shozy bk. would appreciate if anyone can make direct comparisons (soundstage is of importance) and with ergonomics as a factor too (i know this is subjective but i have medium-large ears) thanks in advance :)

does alo rx work well with oriolus actually? planning on getting a oriolus and feeding it through a v20 (will get v30 soon) thinking if amps can improve the oriolus even more (that last 5%)

the moment full of suspense choosing a18 winner

ah yes forgot to make it clear referring to international order

anyone has any idea how much a custom from oriolus themselves cost? tried it and quite liked it. not much to complain but is it just me or are string instruments somewhat unnatural?

anbody uses rha single flange tip? have to force it onto the nozzle slightly but i find soundstage is increased and it is pretty comfy too (although sleeping with rha tips are not ok). i own spiral dots too, both are pretty good in my opinion!
