    The discovery thread!

    Why do you do this to me?! 109Pro are the greatest thing. Ever. Waiting to see where the 105 slots in, they look sharp - as all Meze products do. As for IEMs, they are already on my Wishlist. So weird, right! Imagine having to explain all this to a simple 19th century man. Or a woman, to make...

    Yep, the tuning part seems to be working for CCA lately. Tech, though, I am skeptical at best that these components can keep up with any TOTLs. Unless, of course, the TOTL is tuned way differently and your ears disagree with the tuning to begin with. Hisenior. @Leonarfd beat me to it. Everyone...

    Haha! It's a disruptive world we live in ... Hmm, how can the Hydro be a TOTL kicka*ser disruptor, yet gets beaten in mids and treble by a year-old $250 offering?

    Thank you! Indeed, I feel I am a baritone most comfortably with minor extension on both ends of baritone's expected range when stars align. Here I had to reach quite a bit lower than usual while the upper range could be pushed slightly without serious struggle. I would love to hear your work...

    Wow, colour me impressed whichever side of this hypothetical price range this lands in.

    A beautiful story to go with this release and naming. V-shape usually isn't my favourite, but I wouldn't mind trying this one, especially if its priced reasonably.

    My 2nd project is now live and I welcome anyone to check it out! It was definitely a challenge, especially the lowest notes. It is a Slovenian song, here is the lyrics translation: I know I'm not the first who cannot Step on the wild top of the world And I won't be the last To see you in my...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    At last, Project #2 is upon us. And it marks a few numbers I ought to be proud of since they are marking new chapters for me - 800th post, 6500+ likes, and 365 days on Head-fi. Surreal yet so fulfilling. Project #2 was delayed for a couple of reasons, mainly I felt it was better not to rush...

    Fantastic first impression makes me oh so eager to try/blindbuy these at some point. Waiting on more people I trust to get their ears on these. Yikes, not the nicest thing to wake up to ... I usually start to drift off and take them out just before I've fully drowned deep into sleep. It's very...

    My first love 🥰 yep, it's got the vocals covered alright, bass isn't tight and treble isn't the last word in detail, but whatever, I actually don't miss those attributes when I reach for it and just enjoy music.

    Another wonderful late night listen with the SIE made my sleep so much sweeter. Do you guys fall asleep with IEMs in ears?

    The discovery thread!

    Very true. It's usually not so much FOMO for me as it is the fact that I always find some 'excuse' about how I could use this thing. For Delci, I have grown to like its laid back aesthetics on top of its apparently well received sound, thus I feel I could use it on the go not having to worry...

    The discovery thread!

    In 2024, I have really forced myself not to spend anything on chifi anymore and keep saving for 'better' gear instead, but you guys are so full of praise for Delci that I might have to make one tiiiiny little exception to that rule.

    This all lead my mind to one IEM I feel has not gotten the attention it deserves, AüR Audio Aurora. I welcome you to check out the reviews here on Headfi. Smooth treble, lush mids and textured bass.

    Review by 'nikbr' on item 'KIWI EARS Singolo'

    Having had the possibility to try so many different sets in a relatively short time I felt obliged to go ahead and express my gratitude by trying to help some lost souls out there, just as I was when I first stumbled upon this weird hobby about wired earphones – so yesteryear! … I thought...

    Yes, but at the same time I started appreciating so many new artists/genres precisely due to the fact their work is well recorded and sound tremendous on quality gear. I still enjoy worsely recorded tunes too, only caveat being that extra caution is required NOT to pick the most revealing set...

    No emoji can express just how sad but true that is. In other news, EPZ Q5 is still such a well tempered single DD at its welcoming price.

    Have you tried wearing them looped around the ears like IEMs? Sure it looks ridiculous but it could work since cable is not pulling downwards then.

    Yes, it is probably only worth it as a second-hander by now. Hm okay, any Simgot in particular? Sounds like absolute perfection, I might have to ask them to teach me their miraculous ways.

    FiiO BTR7 and ~120€ Yincrow RW2000. This is full-fledged midfi since earbud prices are much more reasonable in comparison to IEMs. Hard to beat the enjoyment these bring lately. Considering the price I would wholeheartedly rec these to just about anyone. I had no idea earbuds can be so...
