Thanks. Nice to get others people's impressions other than mine. Appreciated.
Jewel should be listened to at medium-high volume, and with sources that give it energy. Otherwise you might think that you have little bass. Instead they are there, well controlled and perfectly integrated with the fantastic tuning that Aroma has given to Jewel
I just got my custom Jewel back from reshell from Aroma today. I just couldn't get the right ear to fit right. I'm an ENT, so I have a team of audiologists who can polish for me. Over almost 8 months period, we would do a little at a time. Just can never get the fit to be perfect. The left ear is perfect right from the start. When I made my first impression last year to order the Jewel, I did it with my mouth closed. This time to reshell the right ear, I did it with a bite block. This is a controversial topic. My audiologists who have been doing impressions for hearing aids and CIEMs for years would tell you, it doesn't really matter that much. What does matter is the shape of your ear canal. If you are like me with narrow canal that takes a sharp bend, you are much more likely to have imperfections. Remember these are 3D printed with inherit human error. When you find an audiologist, ask if they can generate a STP file from the impression, so you can email the file directly to Aroma instead of shipping a physical impression. This is not only more convenient but more precise.
Sorry, didn't see you already had them made. I just replied to your previous post. Looks sexy as hell.I should have my CIEM Fei Wan this week, just received this photo from Aroma.
But that's what I like
. Jewel sounds pretty natural as it is especially with a good copper cable and N8ii. I should be ok. I feel like with current crop of flagship IEMs, it's slight tuning preference. It's not like there are revolutionary driver technology that takes our experience to the next level. I'm still very happy with my 8 year-old Westone ES60.
But that's what I like
Keep us updated. There is nothing more satisfying for a headfier than a pair of perfectly fitted CIEMs.
Congrats Bobby!!! Looks AmazingJust arrived. Perfect fit! Excellent seal and isolation and they aren’t too snug or too relaxed. Can’t really ask for better tbh.
How do they sound compared to the Jewel? Are they completely different sound signature or they retain the Aroma house sound with just different tuning?Just arrived. Perfect fit! Excellent seal and isolation and they aren’t too snug or too relaxed. Can’t really ask for better tbh.
. They’re a warmer and fuller sound signature with more bass and treble in comparison to Jewel which sounds more neutral with laid back treble. The “Aroma” sound is present in their mids, while these are more analogue sounding for me they have a very high level of detail and size to them that I feel Aroma is so good at executing.For people whow are interested in the whole mod, check
