    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    As I tried to say, they are not sold anymore. Their evolution is called Maestraudio. Look on amazon jp for those

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    Cocoro It’s the name they gave to the project initially. Now they spun off a separate brand name (maestraudio) for that line of housing shapes.

    Based on what you write and my exp with B3 you should love them https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/final-b3.23706/review/30432/

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    My opinion is not necessarily popular, but i find A4000 the worst (or least good) of the A family. Look for my A5000 review around here for comparison notes etc.

    Not by direct experience, but by reading on Dunu's website: yes

    "affordable" is a slippery concept of course :) What I can say is B3 sound very well with Dunu DUW-02S

    They don't have more treble, which is what you are after. Staying within final's IEM range(s), based on your description you may want to check, alternatively: - GRID01, and play your way through filters (GL with importing it out of Japan though) - A3000, for a big paradigm change towards...

    Review by 'Hooga' on item 'Final Audio A5000'

    I’ve indeed purchased all three of final A line models below the flagship upon their release, which means – I realise it now – I’ve been owning A3000 and A4000 for more than 2 years now, and A5000 for almost one, but for one reason or another I always slacked behind on writing a proper piece...

    Review by 'Hooga' on item 'Sennheiser IE 900'

    It sadly took me much longer than I initially planned to put together this article about one of the most outstanding IEM sets I ever happened to audition. Also due to some unpleasant health problems, which still partly grip me, it is only now that I am able to publish my piece about the IE900s...

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    Stock cable is a bit tragic soundwise to be honest (and I shared my impression with them). On both I used Dunu DUW-02S A much cheaper alternative (which takes some layering off, and adds some body <300Hz - which depending on musical genre may also be unwelcome) is NiceHCK C8-1

    There's a B-rank og Miyabi on e-earphone for less than half that ... :wink:

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    Flip a few pages above there should be a shorty of mine telling the differences Mk-II vs og. Personally, I prefer the original one. On e-earphone you will find plenty of second hand original and mk-ii Miyabi, get a rank A or a rank B, 99.9% of the times they are just perfect and they cost a joke.

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    Miyabi - higher quality, more neutral tuning Kira MK-II - higher quality, brighter tuning Sho DD - higher quality, more V-shaped

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    OK. Never adutioned a Sho so I can't recommend or not based on personal experience. The price is very volatile however, I saw some Sho units on e-earphone recently cheap, too.

    There's also plenty on sale on e-earphone, at very low prices if you look for the version without the cable https://www.e-earphone.jp/product/search/list/?search_type=0&searchbox=%E7%BF%94DD&search_word=%E7%BF%94DD

    Review by 'Hooga' on item 'Intime Sho DD'

    O2aid Inc – the Japan-based company behind the commercial brand “Intime Acoustics” – is a very small business with a strongly artisanal trait. Their flagship IEM model called Sho (翔) is exclusively handmade-to-order, for example. Then, they have another model called Sho (翔) DD, this time...
