Hey Rich
Thanks - they were an easy one to review as they fit my preferences pretty well
Re qJays vs B400 - similar in their balance. B400 has a bit more bass quantity, a bit more mid-range presence, and is a bit smoother through the lower treble. Both have great extension. Click for larger image.
With the X7ii they sound the same to me balanced vs SE as long as you volume match properly. I've never been a big proponent of balanced unless you need more voltage/power. In the review I showed measurements of bal vs SE. I volume match pretty closely, and I don't think a lot of other reviewers take this step. Other measurements from FiiO would tend to indicate that any other perceived differences are actually inaudible (THD, crosstalk, SNR).
And unfortunately i wasn't part of the B200 or B300 tours - so haven't heard them.
My top 3 IEMs below $250 would be Simgot EN700 Pro ($150), B400 ($180) and Curve ($250). They're all brilliant
Thanks mate!
And since you and I seem to have very similar tastes in sound sigs, I greatly appreciate your insight on this!
"B400 has a bit more bass quantity..." Yeah, that might certainly help, as that is the only substantive change I'd make to the Q-Jays.
Brilliant... cheers.
