@headphonesaddict123 , I truly cannot know the diff bet the 1670 & the 1670ss. I only have this.
Re; the upgrade cable,
Taekyo for 1670ss 耐えきょ
Litz High Purity Copper
Custom tuned only for the 1670ss
Oyaide mmcx terminations, oyaide 2.5 trrs balance plug kit
Titanium splitter Norme audio
Norne Audio Textile sleeves black/silver herring...

That cable looks amazing. Can I ask how much something like that would cost?

HS1695 Ti is easily the best from Acoustune to date and one of the best if not the best dynamic flagship IEMs I have tried and that includes FW1000, T9IE, Xelento, Dream XLS, IE800s & many more. Clean, controlled & detailed.

Pretty bold statement... Now I'm really curious. They're so flashy though...

Thanks @RSC08 they certainly look amazing, but they sound magnificent for the money. They are less than USD. 500 only. It's a big bang for my flagship cable buck, actually...
Japanese standard of workmanship, since the cable master was a japan expat...

@RSC08 , if i May, another gent from Rudi's FB page was lucky enough to buy his unit. I honestly ask for the comparison bet. my 70ss & his 95ti. Said he, was more neutral as compared to the 70ss mid bass bump that a lot really loved.
It may be a bold statement, yes. i auditioned the kse 1500. They don't sound the same, but the ability to holograph, render 3d effects, shape a dome sound field, out of head, scaling, quality of tonality, clarity for me, the series 16xx, esp. 70 & 95 should be one of the best single driver IEMs...

 

[RSC08]

Thanks for the feedback! Guess I'll need to look into these...

HS1695 Ti has less mid-bass than HS1670 Ss and there is a more forward vocals presentation with higher level of clarity.
@ehjie is right.

better than fw10k?

yes,

was terribly disappointed w FW10000

tried 10K, XLS, Z1R, DITA Twins, 1695, 1670 1655 and 1551

owned 1650

1695 is easily one of the best if not the better single dynamic driver IEM’s I’ve heard

Fealty is close imo and def “better” than FW10K to me

1650 is hot and energetic, 1655 was the “worst” sounding to me but my favs are def 1695, 1670 and 1650 (Fealty reminds me abit of 1670 somewhat)

Fealty is abit like Final Audio FI-BASS (personal impression)

 

[lilbingobin]

ive heard both the 1695 sound is well balance to me. easy listening I would say

 

[ehjie]

... Which sounds better, overall? (this is not a flame bait) Left or right? played on a Reference class DAP...

 

[headphonesaddict123]

tried both but never compared each iem with another but if i have to choose i'd go with 1670 (again)

 

[headphonesaddict123]

Well , bad luck to my 1551

While playing music the mmcx connector from one side slipped out of the socket somehow , and now when i plugged it back in that side is dead ( no sound whatsoever ) . I tried switching sides and using different cables but still the same

Does anyone know what might be the cause for that? And is there something i should do?

May be mmcx female spinned around its axis in the shell, and unsoldered. You can do 2pin mod.

 

[headphonesaddict123]

Hi , is there some news about the next Acoustune series? (2xxx?)

 

[mvvRAZ]

So I just tried (and bought the 1695TI)

I think this is the new benchmark for the 1000-ish price tag, and sets a completely new standard for a single DD implementation. Honestly, comparing it to things that cost a few times as much I can’t really say that the 1695 lacks in any way or form. Renders half the crap I own useless lol

The presentation is balanced, with a small bass boost I’d say, extremely clean, rather detailed as well. The coherency is out of this world (normal for a single DD), while the midrange has a certain texture that I’ve only seen so far from the VE Elysium

Will definitely be covering it in a review sometime soon.

It's so golden though...
