    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    I move around so I tend to use BT DAC/AMPs (w/EQ). I alternate between the EarStudio es100 and Qudelix 5k. For my ears (it's subtle) I notice a little fuller/dynamic sound with the es100 and a little more clarity on the 5k, but both are really good. Sometimes I use the ifi xDSD/Audio Player...

    This has been my experience as well. Graphs can help me find candidates (for good/great bass ear buds) but in the end are just another data point. For me, with all of the opinions, options, info, etc, I have to hear them in person. It's a hassle and I'm usually disappointed but the good...

    I have the Sony ex800st/ex1000/Z5/XB90EX. With mine the ex800st (w/tape mod, EQ, dac/amp) hands down tops the other three (and most IEMs I have heard) for bass, quantity & quality. My only other IEMs that can hang with them are the ASG 2.5 and EE Legend X. For overall sound the Legend X easily...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I have had positive experiences dealing with EE this year since the Covid 19 impacts started. Maybe I'm lucky but I sent an IEM set for diagnosis/repair as well as order a new IEM set and in both instances had quick turnaround. I received status updates for every step and every email I sent...

    Are high price IEM's even worth it anymore? Where's their place now?

    Definitely all subjective. For me, heck ya 'some' expensive IEMs are worth it. IEMs as a whole have been improving over time. Enough that I don't see myself buying headphones again. The recent rise of low cost/Chi-fi IEMs has been good to see. I have plenty of good/very good ones. I have a...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Unfortunately this has become the case for the majority of "brands" from when I was a kid.

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I have seen a good amount of positive feedback on the Liberty 2 Pro so on a whim I bought a pair yesterday. Initial impression/opinion is that for music (EDM/Club and Rock/Metal) these are the best TWS buds I have tried (dynamic w/good bass). I have a decent collection of IEMs including TWS to...

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    If you come across a shirt clip like the ReadeREST that works with the Qudelix 5k please let us know (I'll do the same). I'd rather not glue/tape if I can avoid it. I got the Qudelix 5k this week. I wish the 2.5/3.5 plug faced down when clipped on my t-shirt collar. With it facing up it puts...

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    Wanted to say thank you for the shirt clip recommendation. I had bookmarked it and took my time ordering one. It is marketed as an eye glasses holder/clip. For BT adapters I wasn't sure if it was going to make much of difference but now that I'm using it I like it. Especially nice with...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    The Legend X has two W9 woofers (Nemesis does also) and, as you'd probably expect, provides significantly more bass. That said, to me the bravado is still bassy and a fun IEM. I have the Sony XB90, Z5, MDR EX800ST, & ASG 2.5. For me the ASG 2.5 puts out more bass than the XB90. If you don't...

    I have the TFZ No3, FIIO FH7 & FH5. To me they are all 'bassy' but not what I think of as 'basshead'. Of the three the FH7 is my preferred, more of an audio 'complete package'. With EQ I can get the bass to thump pretty good.

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    I had the same thought. I was close to ordering the Legacy 9 but at the time there was a bit of a wait before I'd receive them so like you I decided to wait for more people try them. I've made enough expensive mistakes to last for a while. I'm not sure about Bggar reviews/rec's anymore. There...

    Thanks for the reply. I'm still looking for a budget basshead set. There are times where I don't want to risk damaging an expensive set (I've done it before not fun). I have a ton of budget IEMs that were supposed to be basshead but none that ever seem to grab my interest. I've seen the BQ3...

    I hear ya. I've slowed down my bass/basshead quest of trying new IEMs. Tired of being disappointed. I still don't even know if there is an agreed upon understanding of what is 'basshead'. I see a lot of things called 'basshead' but to me are only (somewhat) 'bassy'. Plus I'm interested in...

    Hi, I've also been thinking about getting the shirt clip that ClieOS recommended. Are you satisfied with the strength of the magnetic hold? Thanks

    The Qudelix 5K is hard to answer since it's not available but by the info listed it could/should be close in performance with the ES100/BTR5/BTR3K. It's all speculation until we can try it. Out of curiosity I'll get one when they're available. I'll be interested in the sound quality (aren't...

    In the past I experienced audio lag while watching YouTube videos (and others) with bluetooth devices, but with most of the newer ones (BT 5.0 etc) I haven't had that happen. For power, I'm not sure what problem you're thinking of but like CLIEOS mentioned the KZ ATE should work well with any of...

    ClieOS provided a good review and comparison of his preferred BT DAC/AMPS in this thread. I have most of the items he reviewed and agree with his findings. ES100/BTR5/BTR3K all work perform well compared to what's available.

    Do you notice a difference when using a music app EQ compared to the ES100/BTR5/BTR3K EQ? (Sound quality or other) I expect not all music apps EQ are equal but I'm thinking of the primary ones like Google Music/YouTube Music, Spotify, Tidal. I've been told to stick with HW EQ for better performance.

    radsone es100 DAC -- Bluetooth issues

    I have three of the original ES100s each about a year old (I bought them new). 'Knock on wood' they all still work fine with no connectivity issues. Two of them have scuff marks from heavy use. I remember someone had claimed that the solder connection for the battery had a hairline crack (from...

    That makes sense. My significantly less experience matches yours. Thank you for the clarification.
