I'm currently using the kz ks6 silicone tips that came with that set because none of the tips that came with the dm6 seal for me. It is sounding very very good paired with my Sony Walkman ZX2 and the fiio E12 portable amp. I'm listening to the Dali songs which are in flac. I'm seeing that the dm6 are awesome sounding for jazz, drums. But I am still testing and my copper cables just arrived. Yayy!As @Tony51 said, foams usually absorb some frequencies, usually in the treble and subbass, so pretty much bass should be weaker. This weakening of the bass should be even stronger, because DM6 is a full balanced armature set. And even if the DM6 has really strong low-end, it would suffer more from such absorption, because a dynamic driver would simply move more air, so to speak, from where we usually notice the difference between dynamic bass, and BA bass.
So, my recommendation is to use wide-bore silicone tips, that seal very good with your ears. Don't even bother with fomies. The silicone tips that come with the DM6 aren't very good though, so you might need some additional tips to enjoy the DM6. I personally find that the best tips (for me), are those that came with the Rock Zircon IEM (I bought it pretty much just for the tips). So far, I haven't found those tips anywhere. I've noticed, that the silicone tips that come with IEMs like the magaosi K5, the iKKo OH1, and perhaps these popular spinfits, are the closest I could ever find.
Here is a picture of the Rock Zircon tips for reference, that I've posted some time ago (Large tips on the left, Medium (which I use) on the right):
Did you make sure that the mmcx connector is properly secured? Did you hear a click when you put the cable on? Do you have any other mmcx cable that you can try to figure out if the cable isn't faulty?? Your description sounds like something is not working properly for sure...hello all. i own these IEMs and frankly i am very bitterly dissapointed to the point I believe my pair must be faulty. These are by far my most expensive I ever owned , my previous were Hifiman RE0 and more recently couple KZs and Tin Audio T2 and T2 Pro. Not sure where to begin really. SO much incredible hype for DM6 yet my pair sound so bad.Even cheap KZ ZSR sound a mile better to my ear and T2 Pro is reference sound but T2 pro cost 50 bucks , not 170 like dm6. To get to the point my pair sounds like if its missing mids. really really weak mids dare i say feels like 1 bass armature and 4 high freq armatures. I am in scotland and if anyone really kind around willing to test my unit back to back to confirm my thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I paid fortune for these.
That's a very good player, I am finding that the dm6 are super picky with tips and cables and even the source.
one of the supplied seals work perfect. seal is perfect bro. i am skilled iem user. years and years of barain hunting. these are my first trully high grades and disspointed terribly. i am comparing freq ranges of Tin T2 and DM6. Based on this images it seems that my ear is very sensitive to frequencies 5 - 10 khz. I just spent few minutes tweaking foobar equalizer to adjust my DM6 to sound closer to T2 and it works much nicer sounding . I just hate this iem freq tuning i guess. I am gonna burn em more and give them one more chance few days later but most likely for sale very soon.
Not sure if I can agree that T2 is brighter than DM6.Hey man, sorry you feel down. May I suggest something? As person who loves the T2s (not the pro's), I should tell you, that the T2 is very treble emphasized. Many people call it "Neutral", but it's not. The T2 has very pleasant, non-fatiguing elevated treble, but still, is a very bright sounding IEM, and the pro's are even more treble emphasized (to the point that it's unrealistic) so if you are used to that, the jump to the DM6 would be very drastic, and they would simply sound pretty much dark, until you adjust to them.
If you can, try to listen to something neutral for a day, so that your ears can adjust to a neutral signature. If you have speakers - try those, and remove any EQ if you have. Many people felt the same way as you initially, and I'm sure I will too (since I mostly listen to my T2s as well, because I like them), when my DM6es arrive. So, please, try adjusting to the DM6es, before making the final decision to sell them. You might be throwing away one of the most special sets currently for the price (this is based on the impressions of people I trust, like HBB, but I will know for sure when I have my set in my ears of course).
EARS?
If treble is an issue, use narroele nozzle tips. Sony Hybrids are good for that.Not sure if I can agree that T2 is brighter than DM6.
I can definitely listen to badly recorded stuff on T2 with foams, however with DM6 it can be a pain sometimes, its detail retrieval is at completely different level..
Sure, T2 has less (and more linear) bass, but treble is not as forward as on DM6. It is also possible that because each of us hears differently, we are sensitive to different treble peaks...
I can agree that DM6 is special and may require a lot of fiddling to make it sound best for each of us.
@trauty Please, NEVER dorectly compare measurements done by different people/on different rigs again (without knowing what you're doing).
The measurement of T2 you've posted is totally different from what I would expect it to look like, no idea where you found it
I posted T2 vs DM6 measurement done on my rig a while back (not sure if here or in the discovery thread). My rig isn't perfect, nevertheless it is definitely more suitable for relative comparison (to my surprise DM6 measures pretty close on crinacles rig). If you can't find it, let me know, i can repost it here/in pm.
Well, the T2 is brighter (my definition), exactly because of that elevation (peak) in the 10K region, which is a deviation from neutrality IMO. That's the treble area that I mainly would consider "bright" everything elevated starting from the 8-14kHz region and , which is exactly what we have with the T2, and I would consider the DM6 peak more as a bight in the treble extension (from 14k to 20k and up), which is exactly at it's peak at 16k. Apparently, there might be a confusion with the terms neutral and balanced. Balanced would be something I would prefer calling the T2, but not neutral. The Kanas Pro is the IEM I would call neutral, but not the T2. The T2 would be neutral until somewhere at 7-8kHz.
Also, you should definitely post the T2 vs DM6 comparison again, or at least a link to the post. I thought I had it saved somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I believe it would be helpful if you post it again.
