OK. INDEED IM BACK ON HEADFI HOURRAY! Doooominaaaatioooon of Influencer Credibility most be bally, more bite, more conter-react...cool man but:
DT100 uses a side firing knowles BA, similar to the ones used by Sony. More driver does not equal better sound, its all up to the tuning. But guess thats beyond your knowledge.
I literally had the T2 way before I even got my graphing tools, but no. Of course I didnt listen to something I actually paid for and went straight to looking at the non-existent graphs that were available back then.
YES. Happy to know you love them. Mids are something uniquely clean with the T2U. I do a simple mod with filter directly on 22955 Knowles low-mid ba (with stock filter off) and do like the result. The sublime 29689 is now filter free tooI have U4 from HiSenior, T2 with the TWFK added, and I asked for as less dampened treble as possible.
The treble is polite (at least to my favourite KZs
Curiously, I do not grab them often for listening: from the treble affection I now explore more bass in the U/V signatures.
Etymotic put double bass BAs in their Evo perhaps for a reason.
audiophile has little to do with price and quality. it's about being obsessed with audio, especially the gear. a real audiophile is obsessed about attaining gear whatever that entails but in the end the audiophile listens to the hardware and less the music. I do it to an extent but it's hard not to when the hardware is part of the transport to your ears. part of the reason we congregrate at head fi. to make the most of our purchases no matter our budget. If chi-fi was as bad as some make it out to be I think china would've been laughed out of the market regardless of price. nonetheless, I am appreciative of other audiophiles as their ears help us make our choices. I like to make fun of audiophiles occasionally. Like I would make Zeos embarassed.
I had the U4 briefly and found them to be veiled and a bit boring but otherwise nice.I have U4 from HiSenior, T2 with the TWFK added, and I asked for as less dampened treble as possible.

Assuming you have tried the Aria 2? I tried it recently and quite surprised by the price to performance.
Calm down mate....its just that i need to make a MORE SELECTIVE LIST. Why? Cause otherwise it will not only include EXCEPTIONAL IEM. There to much of them! The list is very old and include lot of IEM that doesnt even exist anymore. I say time has change in the sens competition is higher. I never say i speak for everybody, i mean...NBBA facebook group I create is all about diversity of thoughts(and audio impressions cause yes, thats partly subjective too), not gurus or hyper thing. If any exceptional offering of these companies appears, i will not snob them. I like EDX. It will be in the list as well as VK4, MT1, MH750 etc. But any hybrid that sound unbalanced, overly sibilant or agressive will not be in the list. Kbear Lark and KB04 might be in the list too. I try to be even mroe critical than before cause....wel my ears have evolve after all these years of Chifi obsession. I think at they end it will be beneficial to have less choices (youll see, their will still be PLENTY!)
Im about to try it soon. Pretty confident it will be in the list. I trust the positive impressions i read from non-hyper reviewers.
If you're more open minded why don't you ask the mod to start a new thread. You could link to some of the more modern reviews rather than copy pasting random comments from reviews. I for one, was disenchanted by the list realizing it was old about 5 minutes in. Lots of non existent clutter.
That T2U chart does remind me of Anole VX and much darker Mangird Tea, I like both Gain spot hitter like Blessing2 sisters, Softears RSV, and pinna gain spot compensator like Anole VX, Tri Starsea, UM MEST MKII. And as it goes to TOTL, I see more pinna gain spot compensator than hitter, so that makes sense that Hisenior one gets a welcome from conservative approach fans.
I found my 1+1 on KZ SKS is ideal sound, and yes Lark is another great tuned one too. KBear really knows what they are dealing with for each price range.
Yea, KZ/CCA/TRN does have some aggressively V-tuned ones with 30095, 2khz&5khz peak ones which I dislike, but that does not conclude exclusively entire line ups are hot mess and even that V-tuning exist for a reason because it does create some sense of “clarity” for some. It’s all pinna gain spot location and gain sensitivity.
