Frequency response at the ear drum

Fwiw, this was also my conclusion, but I also don't listen super loudly, so wasn't too limited by the dongle's limited output power.

Frequency response at the ear drum

Sorry I meant less air and less bass-focus, wording was a bit confusing, my bad. Waiting for something with roughly the mids + bass of Storm but less treble. Mega5EST is close to that, but still too bright for me (and a few others, it seems). URD is well tuned up there, but the ergonomics are...

Chord Alto

Heard it at NAMM Show over the weekend was quite solid. Price is around $3,000 USD when converted to USD. Chord Professional is newish from Chord where it is handled directly with Chord for now. Asked if maybe consumer version was coming and I didn't get a direct response of yes or no, but told...

Symphonium Titan - Impressions and reviews

I said over in the pre-order thread that I haven't been able to get the Titan out of my mind since Felix put them in my ears at CanJam New York and that was the truth then and even truer while I was painfully tracking the flight path of our demo unit waiting for it to arrive. Well today is the...

PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

I don't think it's ideal, rather, that's more commonly all that's achievable on open back headphones. There are ways of adding a bass shelf like controlling driver Fs, like with a leak of some kind of front-sealed planars, or introducing an electrical filter, but most don't do this. When it...
