Selling Aful Performer 5's. IEMs are in very good condition, although I bought them used, and there are some mesh filters on the nozzles which I don't believe are stock (these can be easily removed with a pair of tweezers - happy to remove before sending if preferred). Comes boxed with all...

Feel free to ask any questions!

Selling Yanyin Canon II's in very good condition, although I have put Good because the left IEM doesn't have the best purchase on cables (sadly like that since I bought them new). They do have a good purchase on the stock cable as well as a NiceHCK BlackCat cable I have, which I will also throw...

Based on sound quality for my tastes: Sound Rhyme DTE900 Penon Quattro Tansio Mirai X (10th Anniversary) ZiiGaat Doscinco Yanyin Canon OG? (hard to say, lost it when I didn't have many IEMs to compare to, I liked it a lot though) Penon Fan II Artti R1 Yanyin Canon II Simgot EA500 LM Letshuoer...

Has anyone here tried using an impedance adapter with their TSMR-X? I just threw a cheap 25 ohm one from AE on and have been liking what I'm hearing, particularly on the 010 setting. Normally I prefer the 011 setting, but 010 with the adapter is just right. Adds more bass, warmth and lushness...

I don't actually think you're wrong about the frequency range they cover - at least, I looked into it and saw an interesting thread on reddit that quoted Soundrhyme saying they only cover 12 kHz and over! Which does seem very high to me (as someone whose hearing goes up to 16 kHz). Note we can't...

I haven't listened to many IEMs with ESTs, but the DTE900 sounds better in the treble than any non-EST IEM I've heard, and many who've tried it do seem to like it. So I'm doubtful that they are redundant or not benefitting the sound at all. I'm sure ESTs on an IEM with well-extended treble are...

I won't be buying these - I don't think they'll offer an appreciable enough upgrade over my DTE900 to justify the expense - but isn't the graph relatively similar to that of the DTE900? The treble on them is the best I've heard, even with the roll-off. I don't think the ESTs will be wasted, even...

Has anyone else tried the Penon blue silicone + foam tips? I bought some ages ago but have only recently tested them out. I'm very impressed. I've tried generic silicon/foam hybrids from AliExpress before, but I prefer these by some margin. I still prefer nice silicones (Divinus Velvet or JVC...

Well, this is it for me - the end of the line (...hopefully). There's no way I can afford to spend this much on an IEM again. Still have a lot more getting to know these ahead of me, but first impressions are, of course, fantastic. Feed them a good quality recording and they are truly amazing...

Certainly sounds like this would make sense! For some more data to add to tgx98's graphs above, Akros is the only other person I know who's graphed settings with multiple switches on. Bottom setting is 010, middle is 011, and top is 110. Surprised how much more the difference between 110 is...

Looks like there will be some good AE discount codes next week... Could get $80 off the DTE900 with a coupon, on top of any anniversary sale discounts. It would be my first tribrid if I went for it. Couple of questions: Does anyone know how the DTE900 stacks up against the Tansio Mirai X...

I've not had much time to compare, but I just quickly put both in my ears and I would say that the TSMR-X has more bass at 100 than the Doscinco, but it is also bleeding a bit more into the mids. The Doscinco has slightly more bass than the TSMR-X at 011, but they are both similarly satisfying...

Good to know - maybe I need to start playing around with 4.4 mm on my TSMR-X more! I've got a modular cable on it so I'll swap the termination at some point. Thought this might be interesting to some people here, but I had the ZiiGaat Doscinco arrive today which I've been comparing a little to...

Quick update to say my Doscincos arrived today :) Have put them in my ears briefly but am pretty busy over the next few days so will need a week or so to come back with full impressions. Initial thoughts: The bass is certainly great - amazing for the price. Surprisingly however, I'm not sure if...

Good advice! I definitely will be giving them time - to be clear, I really like them, they're bringing a sound that's pretty unique among my IEMs and are presenting vocal-driven songs (particularly with simpler and less layered productions) in a really special way. I think they'd be a good buy...

Thanks for sharing! I can definitely see how the Fan 2 could also be described as congested. I think intimacy/congestion might be two sides of the same coin, and which evaluation prevails really depends on the song being played. From your description it sounds like I won't be keeping an eye out...

Had my Fan 2s arrive today. These are very interesting. Love the build quality, ergonomics and fabric cable. Deep insertion doesn't bother me at all, I think it works well with the intimate sound signature. The sound signature is where the surprises are. It's very vocal-forward, which I did...

I'm not sure if I fully understand the question here, but I don't see any reason to go out of your way to get a 3.5 mm Sands cable. Those who think that cables make a difference think the stock cable makes the treble too much, and those of us who don't believe in cables think the TSMR-X sounds...

Sorry for nitpicking, but these figures have lost me a bit - using pi*r^2, I think a 10mm circle has an area of 78mm^2 and 2x 6mm circles have an area of around 56mm^2? But the point still stands that a 10mm diaphragm has more surface area - it's one of the reasons I am currently leaning to the...

The Penon/Tansio websites say that the venting driver is removable (but not recommended to be disassembled frequently), could it be for that?

Looks great! I'm also running a cable not based on any perceived sonic differences - using the Artti Flex A7. Modular cable, nice ergonomics, I like the purple with the IEMs' turquoise, and under $25. Tried the stock cable, tried the Quattro cable, tried a few others, but nope; once...

And thanks for the extra information about the EST sets all :) Liquid, smooth treble does sound very appealing and something I'd like to try. Not enough for me to covet any new shiny toys for the foreseeable future, but I'll certainly keep a look out for Penon 10th, EST 50 and (depending on...

Very interesting, I've just tested them out and I think they do appear to have a difference when multiple switches are on - but I'm always sceptical of my ears so would love to hear what others who own a set think. From my (very brief) testing, it appears that each switch increases bass, with...
