Hello, I have pretty sensitive ears which always hurt with headphones. I’ve tried the Bose quite comfort 2, the DCA E3, and the ZMF atrium open. I ended up returning all of those because they made my ears hurt after 30min - 1hr. I also made sure none of the pads are touching my ears, and made my...

Hello, I just got the Elysian annihilator 2023 titanium version and I absolutely love it. My only complaint is that the cable is a bit uncomfortable but also I find very gaudy. I know it uses a unique connection so there aren’t too many other cable options. Does anyone know of any comfortable...

Hello, I was potentially looking at these two IEM’s. I’ve tried the Xenon 6 and it was a bit too dark for me. I looking for something with great treble and forward detailed vocals. I’d still like to have some good bass presence, particularly in the mid and upper bass. For those who have you who...

Hello, I got the ZMF atriums and they sounded absolutely magical, completely blew me away. Unfortunately, I have incredibly sensitive ears and have never been able to wear headphones. Because of this I returned my atriums as my ears hurt after 30 min regardless of what pads or how I flexed the...

Hello, I’ve seen videos of people adapting the xDuoo 05Bl Pro to work with the chord mojo by removing the extra jack. I was wondering if the same thing can be done with the mojo 2. I don’t know if the mojo 2 has any big differences from the original, but I haven’t seen anything online of people...

Hello, I’m looking for a good portable DAC amp combo to pair with my Xenon 6. I know most people here would recommend a DAP, but after the hefty purchase I just want something cheap and light. I’ve currently got a qudelix 5k which I’m not sure will pair well with it. I’d say the most expensive...

Hello, I wanted to buy spin tip ear tips for my xenon 6 that I haven’t received yet. I can’t find the nozzle measurements anywhere online and the spin tip website doesn’t have information on which tip they would use. Could someone tell me the nozzle diameter of the xenon 6 or which type of spin...

Hello, I have pretty sensitive ears so I was looking for some comfortable ear tips to use with IEM’s. Putting sound aside entirely, what are the single most comfortable earbuds you have ever tried? I know customs are an option, but I was looking to see if any universal tips would resolve my...

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a warm, super dynamic, punchy, and tactile IEM. I’m preferring something that sounds fun to listen to over something neutral and analytical. The kind of thing I think would sound great on a tube amp. I think I’ve come down to the trifecta and the xenon 6. I was...

I was planning to get the ifi go blue because I heard it’s warmer sound signature paired well with the iem’s I bought. I currently have a nice usb-c to lightning cable and I was wondering if I could just directly use this cable to connect my iPhone to the ifi go blue. I’ve seen around that some...

Hello, After trying out multiple high end headphones I have discovered that all of them hurt my ears so I’ve turned to IEM’s for more hi-fi sound. I haven’t done much research on IEM’s at all so I’m not too sure what to look for and was hoping for some recommendations. My budget is $2500 and I...

Hello, my atriums are getting shipped and arriving on Monday. I plan on getting a bottle head crack to power them on my desk, but I also wanted to get a portable dac amp to power them. Right now I’ve got a topping G5, but it’s way too bulky for what I need. I was potentially looking at the...

Ok this is going to be a bit weird. I have a vinyl player that I connect to my Strdh 190 receiver to use as a pre amp. I then use RCA connectors to connect them to my speaker. I just ordered the DCA E3 and wanted to see if I could listen to my vinyl player through them instead of my speakers...

Hello, I was thinking of getting the DCA E3 to have a closed back headphone I could use in public and on the go. As I’d like to use it on the go I’d like a portable dac/amp combo for it and I currently have the qudelix 5k with a balanced cable. From the gadgetmates calculator I see I’d need 90...
