Although I have had him since August and it can be considered "the honeymoon period", for the moment the LCD 5 remain on the podium. They are expensive, but with a bit of EQ they beat all my headphones in all sections.

Just for the genres you say I would go for an LCD X. The bass is very nice, the treble is restrained (I think for the genres you listen to that matters). The only drawback is the weight (600 grams) but the construction and materials and cable are much better than Hifiman. Hifiman are great for...

As mentioned in the previous post: HyperX Cloud Orbit S. I had it, I can tell you that for gaming it was pretty good, it loses the wireless option to lower the price. The microphone is acceptable and being planar for gaming, the bass and bass information, scene and bass capacity (quality rather...

There are so many variables and compromises in both the headphone, type of music, dac and headphone amplifier, subjective and the person themselves (glasses? your ears and your head) that it is very difficult to pinpoint one headphone as perfect. That's why I gave up on the idea of the perfect...

Enjoying my newly acquired LCD 5, with the ferrum combo, gustard r26 and the Van Halen Balance disc. I find it wonderful what this hobby can bring and how excited I am to find gear that suits my tastes and surprises me.

I just received an LCD 5 today. After deciding to jump into buying an LCD-5 in showroom condition (which has come in perfect condition and they are from 2022) I am currently enjoying it very much with all the playlists I normally listen to. My favourite genres are rock, metal and jazz. I come...

Maybe a comparison against their iem Illumination gives some sense of what to expect from the headset itself. What genres does Moondrop recommend them for? It looks great in presentation and aesthetics, except for the Waifu. I don't really like a serious, deluxe presentation with a cartoon. I...

Sennheiser HD 6 series. Good timber, built like a tank. Great ergonomics. Cons: no great dinamics and bass. Akg 7 XX series. Fast great soundstage. Cons not the Best ergonomics

I've had them for a while and I can't say anything wrong with them except the price (well, in general that's what you have to do when you want something high end). Soundstage correct without being closed, dynamics are great, treble is correct and detail. I like the mids, I don't notice the...

Moondrop facebook post - will it compete with Variations itself and Dunu Vulkan?

I was lucky enough a while ago to get a Sony Wm1a, change the region and put the Mr Walkman mod on it, add a planar, bone conduction and a dd (Imr Edp Ace) and magic! At home and on the commute to work, a joy.

Hi mates, despite not reading the thread completely, I wanted to ask you directly, how much % does the amp lose without the dedicated Hypsos ? Has anyone tested the LCDX and Focal Clear MG headphones with this amplifier to say how is the synergy with both? I imagine it will be a nice improvement...

Hi mates,wonder how is the sinergy with planars like lcdx on feliks andblow impedance like Focal Clear Mg, walking around to buy a euforia evo. Thanks

Focal headphones hace great dynamics. Fostex can make your ideal target too.

The downside is that the IMR ace is short run and limited, but in combo with the WM1A it's a blast.

"Inheriting the capacity of a nice and not robust paint job" :((

Wow with the mrwalkman mods and the WM1a. The WM1Z external tunning gave me the feeling of a pretty good improvement in soundstage and treble. But I was missing that low and meaty stock sound, and so far I'm in warm mode and loving it. I'll keep playing around but if I already liked the stock...

Sony WM1A > IMR Ace,

It's a pity that IMR makes short series of iems but for Metal I have found the IMR ACE to be great. Planar, DD and bone conduction. It has a very good soundstage for an in ear, good tonality, separation and good bass.

First and second day with Ace, I had a problem of a slight distortion in some frequencies in the right earphone. I checked the headphones that arrived in perfect condition, changing the cable and the filters and I still had that slight distortion, at least more noticeable in the right earphone...

Picked the ace this morning. Ibasso dx160, 4.4 black filter and spinfits tips and Andy timmons, they are not bad. Good stagging, treble. Waiting for famous imr long burn in

I have just received a reply from IMR "Hi Roberto, I would expect it to update in the next 48hrs and start on its journey. Regards Bob"
