Quote:   Ok, UM screwed up my Mage's fit a few times and when they got it right there was channel balance issue, sounds leaning to the right side. It's crazy how an established ciem maker could make such mistake, and this is not the first time I encountered this issue with UM. Eventually...

Very well said, malevolent. Went to stereo for refit of my brand new mage (second pair after I lost the first pair), I had a quick audition of legacy today too and totally agree with u. Coming from um mage, I'm glad um finally came up with something flat. I didn't like miracle for its emphasis...

Lost my Mage and went to stereo to test out all the UM's ciems while deciding which one to go to, and Toughnut I totally agree with you. I hated Miracle for its U shaped sound and distant mids, talked to Stephen and he mentioned Mentor is like Mage with better bass and seperation, turns out its...

I agree. I shouldn't compare without ABing them. The 8X has some superb technical capability such as the amazing speed, crisp midrange and good transparency, I wonder if I request for a retune would it actually be better to ask Mitch if I could downgrade it to 7X? I wonder how different the 7X...

now after a few days of using them, some keywords I can come up with the 8X. To my ears, they are: - everything is super fast, very little decay - forward, very warm, and bright mid range (especially upper midrange) - flat bass, a little light to my taste - treble is a little grainy, very...

I have listened the jh13 demo long ago, If I remember correctly, jh13 has smoother treble and mid range while being similarly analytical. Jh13 also has more bass quantity, and bigger sound. Now I'm not sure if Mitch has tuned my 8x this way on purpose because many times I mentioned I like...

After a while more of listening, I notice there are alot of trebles in the 8X, particularly lower trebles, that could be the cause of why I feel the vocal sound overly bright and a little harsh at times. Hm...

Received them at my workplace, I was using my UM Mage before I popped in the 8X, so I can only compare them with the Mage. The first impression of the 8X is... hm... rather complicated... I'm no good at writing this kinda things so bare with me, my portable rig is Sansa Fuze>LOD>RSA Shadow...

My fourth pair of CIEM is born! Will receive the AUD-8X in 3 days, super excited! Despite the color looks quite off (I have ordered clear orange faceplate), oh well, if they fit well I wouldn't complain. I hope I'll like the sound and end the expensive CIEM searching journey! Oh My RSA Shadows...

Quote: So the 8X's midrange isn't as forward, bass also not as boosted as the 7X so the presentation is more neutral while having great dynamics am I right? I do prefer the none boosted bass but I hope 8X midrange isn't too distant. I have ordered the 8X so I hope I made the right...

Wow thanks for the heads up! Ya I have been reading a lot of your ciem reviews, in fact if your pp6 review came up a couple months earlier I wouldn't have bought the Miracle, and your review of pp6 definately is how i felt about the miracle. It's good to know 8x are more similar to Miracle...

I still haven't placed my order on the 8X, waiting for Joe's review stil, hurry up Joe!   :P   I have emailed mitch several times trying to get a clearer picture of the 6X and 8X, he mentioned 8X is more mid centric than the 6X but I still need to confirm whether it wont be too bass...

Hi,   Since fuze V2 is such an old player, it's so hard to find it's information. I was trying to compile a latest rockbox build but it's way beyond my computer knowledge to do it (I have zero programing knowledge). Can anyone please to do a dummy step by step of compiling a latest rockbox...

Xings, I'm also looking for a flat response ciems, maybe a little forward mids, snappy n non boomy bass together with good extentended trebles. Do you think an x8 with your config would do the job? I have just sold um miracle for its distant and slight recessed mids not my cup of tea... Can u...

I have spoken to Mitch and he mentioned two driver configurations for the x8. Can anyone report their x8 config and how they sound? I'm deciding to order mine soon and towards the mid centric versions... Mitch mentioned about Joe is gonna write a review about x8 and i'm looking forward to it. :)...

Quote: I love good mids, enjoy vocals alot, I have turned my shure to se530x6 thinking to fix the rolled off treble, and I didn't like the outcome. If you expect it to remain shure's sound signature then u might be surprised that they are not, at least mine were not. They have lost the...

Just got my miracles and not happy with the sound sig too. While the bass is well extended, its placed too forward, and the mid is too far back, then theres an upper midrange bump. Highs are good though, fine and smooth. Instrument seperation is average, maybe due to the recessed mids. It has...

Quote: Awesome. Thanks for the enlightenment, although I have not heard the headphones and IEMS u mentioned above. :P  I've only read about it being comparable with Heir 6A.   Some comments on the forum been pointing out Miracle's highs being not very defined, and peaking at 6khz...

Hi Whiz, I owned E4C and SE530 and I loved it, I'm quite a Shure sound person but the cable issue and rolled off highs drove me into CIEM world n got a pair of Mage before UM started getting big. Been listening Mage for 3 years, I kinda like its sound although always wish the mids to be a...

For guys who owns a refurbished Fuze, could you please report your battery life? Roughly how many hours it plays music continuesly at around 70% volume? My 2 year old Fuze has drop its battery life down to near 5-6 hours of play back and thinking to replace it with a refurbished unit, but I'm...

Please write a review of the SE530x6! I have just sent my SE530 to UM Lab for the upgrade...

I had an awful experience with Null Audio too. - Made an appointment with the sales person to make ear impressions (as they provide ear impressions FOC), the dude actually forgot about the appointment! He showed up 1.5h later after I called him. Ordered my Mage from him and nightmare started...

Was using E4C before SE530, love shure's mids as everybody would agree. After hearing some other earphones with better highs, I wish SE530 has better treble (even some realatively cheap phones have much better highs). Now I wonder what I should get as an upgrade. Tried Westone3, the U sound...
