I, too, got a GAS3, but in MMCX. If you're on the Discord I posted a mini-review. For those of you not in there, I'll keep it very short and sweet. I tried all of my common musical genres - That being, symphonic poems, breakcore, DnB, rock, and eurobeat. You want vocals, you will get them. As...

dca aeon x - f.audio ks01 - zenfone 8. the 8's 3.5mm isn't powerful enough for today's listening level song: Netsky's Iron Heart VIP

no pictures this time. but i picked up a pair of Tin C2 Mechwarriors, been running them through the gamut via Zenfone 8 -> F.Audio KS01 since it seems to benefit just a hint from the different filter & higher amperage on the ks01 compared to the zenfone 8's output - i believe the zenfone 8 is...

Got my Castor bass edition. Went straight for UUDD position for maximum midbass and I'm fairly happy with it. It's not as big of a shelf as you'd find with EQs for bassheads, but for a stock IEM I'm very satisfied that I'm not left desiring more bass in very bassy music like Future Sound of...

Still using 'em. Really enjoy it! Today is Italo-disco day. Mr. Flagio - Take a Chance is one of the greatest Italo records ever made. Maybe that's something that's too easily agreed upon, but it sounds great through these. Hope y'all are having a nice day or night.

New gear! Potentially the only piece of mid-fi I'll ever own. DCA + Drop Aeon X Closed -> FAAEAL 80ohm adapter -> RODE AI-1 Giving it the shakedown today, so it's less "One album" and more "Shuffle mix of my favorites", which tends to be an arrangement of metal, classical, and a wide variety of...

Excellent communication, was clear, double checked everything. Item exactly as described, too.

Went ahead and joined the Castor bass edition train. Really curious to see what the unit variance is like since the switches seem to be very fine in tuning. Currently using Truthear Hola as a burner iem, with whizzer ss20 eartips. In my experience these are neutral eartips with shallow fit that...

Switched to the AKG K553 MKII's w/ vesper pads as a sendoff. I'm probably not going to wear these again unless it's a very special occasion, since it's broken. Listened to a variety of different stuff, mostly my favorite video game music. Observe! Rest in peace, K553's. I'll probably buy...

Tangzu Zetian Wu -> RODE AI-1 w/ FAAEAL 220ohm adapter -> Touhou 6-18 shuffle mix ft. Huatian ROTOR yo-yo - It's so cute! It's my favorite toy. Been having an excellent night. Hope y'all are having a good day & night too.

Been using a bit of everything today. RODE AI-1 w/ FAAEAL 220 adapter into... AKG K553 MKII's w/ Vesper pads (very carefully... i need to tape it together) -> Lots of Eurobeat. Modern stuff - Odyssey is my favorite producer right now. Mackie MC-350 -> Ace Combat 04 OST Tangzu Zetian Wu ->...

AKG K553 w/ Vesper pads My AKG's gave up the ghost! Right hinge is just a hole with a wire & nut dangling the right earcup from it now. Sad days. However, I prepared for this... Mackie MC-350 -> FAAEAL 220ohm adapter -> RODE AI-1 // New Order - Blue Monday (1988 master) Sacrifice soundstage...

Lo and behold, they are dead. Driver flexed to death within a day. While I wasn't able to get a refund due to my phone not correctly recording the small amount of sound from them, I did get another pickup... Truthear Holas with KBEAR 07 tips are just fine in my book. These things seat REAL...

And I'm back. Hope all of y'all have been doing well. Haven't been reading up too much lately, as I've been really trying to pull myself out of a hole here. It's been a mess. With new IEMs, an excellent dongle (with new firmware), and a renewed outlook, I can't say too much, as I only received...

Oh, very funny, Aliexpress. The one time I want things to come quickly and it's being forwarded through PostNL. I do have another thing that should arrive in around a week. It's an F.Audio KS01 DAC/AMP - Seems too good to be true, but another user here recently did a review on it praising its...

Tonight, on the Nues SIVGA SV007 w/ AKG K553 pads -> RODE AI-1 -> PC, playing Aphex Twin - Vordhosbn My first pair of interesting headphones, arguably. The SV007's came after the ATH-MSR7, and taught me that open backs could have bass. Quite a bit of it. With the pads from the old K553, it's...

Seems like the cooler's been busy. Good polls, fun results, some interesting takes here and there. Good news, bad news... well, of good news... Just grabbed some CRA+, this time from CiFi's store on Aliexpress. For 13 bucks I can definitely swing that this month. Of bad news, I got a new AI-1...

Does the price include shipping?

Headphones: AKG K553 MKII w/ full leather Vesper Audio pads + FAAEAL 80ohm adapter, 3db bass tilt DAC/AMP: Rode AI-1 audio interface Tonight's album: Pendulum's Hold Your Colour. I figure I have enough brain burn-in by this point with the new pads to have a little midnight listen of one of my...

~25 days working time + another month to receive. Very reasonable given how customs are. Actual time in transit was like 2 days, 28 in customs, and 3 until it got to my home.

Got my K553 MKII earpads from Vesper today. Full leather, cooling gel, white stitching + emerald ink color, increased ear hole diameter to 70mm from a stock of 60mm. Incredibly comfortable, doesn't seem to have sealing issues on my head. Resolution has increased a very notable amount in exchange...

Headphones & dac/amp: ATH-MSR7 w/ Yaxi comfort pads + RØDE AI-1 audio interface. Currently listening to: Cairodrome - CoLD SToRAGE, from the Slipstream album. Childhood memories. Really appreciate how the Yaxi pads change the transition between sub, bass, and lower midrange. With the shape of...

Hey there. Decided to drop back here again after a short absence. I'm not really a reviewer or anything, but I did want to drop my thoughts on the Tangzu Zetian Wu now that I've cooked on them for a solid couple months. That is what I wanted to do, initially :) I'll keep it short - It's...
