Nice review, the box is made with bamboo. Wow, such an open design, which looks cool, but just asking for something or someone to poke the diaphragm and damage it.

I really want to like earbuds, but I can get properly seal and always have to relocate them.

Any tips to solve this issue?

500+ Head-Fier
Pros: Technical ability of the sound, clarity, transparency and brightness level.
- Remarkable treble level, extension and definition.
- Outstanding bass tuning, with remarkable execution, presentation and power.
Cons: In many respects, it resembles earlier SuperTFZ or TFZ models.
- Overall innovation is low and unattractive.
- It is a demanding specialist profile, which is far from pleasant musicality.
- It is not suitable for long and relaxed listening, on the contrary, it is intense and demanding.
- The set of accessories and packaging is not consistent with the price.
- There is no balanced cable to choose from.
Introduction

What is it, a man, a bird? No, it's the SuperTFZ logo. Again the question: Is SuperTFZ the evolution of TFZ? Is it really an evolution? Let's see, let's start...

100+ Head-Fier
Pros: △ Gorgeous looking shells
△Good quality stock cable
△Mild U-shaped, almost neutral sounding
△ Impressive sound quality on male vocals.
△ SPD (Squared Planar Driver) does perform very well.
△ Like its sister brand Kinera, the quantifying factor when it comes to inclusion.
Cons: ▽ Wishing for more extension on treble air.
▽ BA Timbre does make the upper mids to presence treble seems a bit unrefined.

1. I mainly listen to Metal, mostly extreme. Sometimes it's easy to read a review and forget that the reviewer might be listening to something very different and judging the device reviewed by different standards.
2. Yes, there is - the Anode Acoustics HPA#1: http://anodeacoustics.in/index.php/...ube-headphone-amplifier-ecl82-pcl82-hp-amp-1/
I own it and it has transformed the D8000 Pro completely. It is very affordable and in my opinion worth x4 its price. reading what you wrote about the D8000 Pro it sounds as if you can use it. It will make the D8000 Pro make you smile all day long, it will be transformed into a musical pair of headphones. No details lost, no distortions, no smoothing. You will swear it's just like SS, only with a bit of soul. I bet you can use it with all your HPs, I use it with my LCD-X as well.
3. RAD-0 has a bigger stage than the D8000 Pro?
adydula
adydula
Yes as wonderful as the D8000 Pros are for $4299 retail the soundstage to my ears especially in width is greater than the D8000 Pros. I would be torn to choose between them both. I listen for a week with one then switch out..like falling in love with them all over again! lol. The Finals are indeed the more accurate can. Sweet on the Anode Acoustics! Listening to Alex Bugnon as I reply. Love slow and deliberate music...so I can appreciate the artist etc....great choices! Enjoy!

Headphoneus Supremus
Pros: Weighs maybe even less than 2 grams, my scale doesn't go that low
Super comfortable due to size and weight
The perfect sports IEM, my friends say
The perfect running IEM, my friends say
The perfect sleeping IEM, my friends say
Comes in a choice of three colors, green, orange or white
Amazingly careful sound signature following a set of rules
Fast, yet warm and friendly
Big sound from a small size
Comes with carrying pouch
Perfect to take with you 100% of the time, all the time
Fits in shirt pocket
Fits in a purse
Relatively nice note-weight
Careful warm, yet fairly detailed response
Not forgiving of sub-standard quality files
Absolutely honest to file quality, due to a style of neutrality
Cons: Could by chance be actually too small
Slightly short nozzle length, requiring longer ear-tips
Not forgiving of sub-standard quality files
Powers off a phone, but doesn't get to ear-shattering volumes
Slightly hard to drive
Below average soundstage
Some effort may be needed to find the right ear-tips
Absolutely honest to file quality, due to a style of neutrality

Did you compare with the elixir or did I miss it? A/B?
Redcarmoose

Of course, and after all that I switched the cables and put the Elixir cable on the Allure and the Allure cable on the Elixir...identical cables, though the cover material is different. The two units have identical drivers in them with only case colors different.......and box accessories slightly different. Cheers!

Basically the same headphone for less than 1/2 price!

The very first paragraph explains that the Elixir and Allure are the same IEM.

“Much of the script here is a subtle reworking of the original THIEAUDIO Elixir review I posted a few months back. As it should be, because rarely do you get the chance to review the exact same IEM twice. But if a (slightly different company) releases the exact same IEM, only in a different color, and with the exact same cable, only with a different covering.......well.....you see where this is going. Though the good news is the KiiBOOM Allure is less than half the price of the Elixir! You don't get the small Elixir carrying case, but you do get a plush big carrying case. Other than missing a few extra ear-tips, the KiiBOOM Allure package is identical.”
