DHL picked up my Monarchs today. Hopefully it'll be repaired and be sent back in a few weeks.

For those curious about warranty/repairs... According to Linsoul, they have a DHL service and they only charge $20-30 for it. So I guess I don't have to pay $100-$200 for shipping after all. I assume I'd have to print a shipping label from Linsoul and bring it to a DHL office to send it.

Tried different cables unfortunately. Trying to look for shipping options right now, DHL seems to want $180 to ship it back.

My Monarch's left side seems to have lost most of the bass rumble, is a driver dead? I've switched cables, switched between 3.5 to 2.5 balanced, switched between 3 amps, and the same thing. Barely any rumble from 10 Hz to 70 Hz while the right side does fine. From...

I like it, bass isn't as dry anymore. Thanks! EDIT: Although I think it's a bit too much in quantity now haha.

The Monarch's bass is pretty... "2D". Dry. It has a ton of volume but texture isn't that good, I EQ'd it at 150 Hz with +3 dB and it felt better but I feel like I should have gone with the Clairvoyance since I listen to a lot of rock/jazz/metal. But honestly, that and the tight fit are my only...

I'm getting a 2-pin to MMCX adapters soon and I'll let you know if a pure copper cable changes the sound.

I absolutely love some heavy metal guitars and drums, I gotta get myself one of those adapters.

Just got my Monarchs, ordered on 27th of March, got the shipping label on the 6th of April, and received it today, 8th of April. I can't even begin to explain how much I love the imaging, separation, and bass on these. It's way above anything I have right now. The cable and packaging are...

I'd track it on DHL Express. I placed mine on 3/27 and got the tracking number yesterday. Works fine here: https://www.dhl.com/en/express/tracking.shtml

They aren't on there really tight but tight enough that it still seals properly and doesn't fall off.

The included vocal tips fit the narrow nozzles well and are pretty comfy.

I was hoping that it'd be a month plus a week or so... I wouldn't be at home in 6 or 7 weeks depending on how long work takes. Sad.

Just ordered the Monarchs as my first $700+ IEM. Anyone got an idea what kind of time frame I'm looking at before it ships?

Just got this beauty of a copper cable, didn't notice it changing anything with the sound. I was lied to. Does look amazing and is extremely comfy I guess. \

FiiO needs to seriously get into the audiophile big cans. I'd love to see what they come up with.

Just got the RHA nozzles, I like the reference one the most combined with either foam or vocal tips. The bass one is good too but kills guitars for me (Not sure how to explain it but guitars lose the fun reverb at the end of the note) compared to the reference... The treble one is just a...

Swapped between the nozzles a lot and noticed that some of the soundstage depth but not the width is sacrificed using the smaller nozzles. Added a light coating of lithium grease to the screw threads too since screwing them in felt... Rough. (Lightly greased the nozzle storage 'pad', wiped off...

The sibilance exists on both my K5 Pro (Low gain) and BTR5 (Both the 3.5 and 2.5 balanced jacks). Listening to Spotify and lossless FLAC through Foobar2000 (PC) or Poweramp (Android). Using the small nozzles with the vocal tips mellows it down and actually makes it easy to listen to even at...

Anyone know of any other store that sells the RHA tuning filters or am I out of luck? They don't seem to ship to Dubai. I'm loving this more than my FH5 in terms of fun but that treble spike is unbearable to the point that I prefer the smaller nozzles with the vocal tips. It does kill some...

I just got my BA MTW100, works great and I'm pretty pleased with my purchase. But I'm wondering if it's possible to pair it with my phone and laptop at the same time. I can't seem to find a way to enter pairing mode again. EDIT: Nevermind. I just turned off my phone bluetooth, put the earbuds...

I heard that it will have a longer nozzle like the FA7s. I ordered a pair of CCA C10 chi-fis for now to satisfy my itch for a new headphone, will wait for the FH7s.

Thank you, I think I'll go for the FH5 for now. I do like a more energetic treble. Although the FA7 looks much more attractive to me, looks are secondary to sound haha. I did hear the FH7s are coming out in a month or two so I may hold out for that, 4 BA + 1 huge DD.

Will do, thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade from my SE215 SPEs and I've had my eyes on FiiO's latest ~$300 offerings. I mostly listen to older metal albums (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, etc) and sythwave albums (Carpenter Brut, Gunship). I'm not really sure which one would fit my preferences better... I...
