Best of the day for me. Sennheiser HE-1 were the best I've ever heard and at $60,000 that is expected. The second best were the Sennheiser HD820. Fit so well, all the stuff you love in the HD800s with a bit warmer treble (yes) and fuller mids (yes) and more bass quantity and extension (yes). I hope the new tech finds its way to the HD6-- series. Maybe a semi open HD670 or fully closed (with that glass lens) HD680 and a HD690 that can do both? I digress. The next best were the new over ear from iBasso. Just one click too small for my head on both sides, so it still fit but not comfortably. Smooth yet detailed highs, incredibly full mids with no mud, mid bass punch without bloom and sub bass extension for days, & easy to drive. The not yet released Advanced GT-R Planar fit great, had the best sub bass I've heard on a planar, actual "slam" for once. Mids were full and highs very warm, but for treble sensitive folks, just right for long use, without fatigue. The Sundara fit great, sounded great. Beat those in every way except sub bass extension, but still good bass overall. Smoother than the HE560, HE400i, HE400 but just not quite as amazing as the HE-X V2 The LCD-MX4 had similar qualities with smoother high treble, and that forward Audeze midrange that it managed better, and good sub bass extension, it's Audeze that really "slam" in the bass, though a bit less than the Advanced GT-R and of course no planar does sub bass quantity like better dynamics (like the iBasso & Meze 99). Prototype Meze Planar was amazing in fit, build comfort. Just lacked low sub bass extension and quantity. If it had the subs of the GT-R it would be THE planar to beat in every way. So that's about it.

Just a few with my phone, not the best quality or the best angle, but nevertheless...

Truly sad to miss Canjam NY this year.

Hopefully Singapore and LA will be as cool

That's me sitting down at Empire Ears.

That's me in the grey long sleeve shirt at the iBasso booth with John.

I just realized that the left hand banner was falling down!

Any impressions of CTMs Davinci's IX or X iems? As a CT-6E owner im curious.

 

[Darkestred]

Anyone who visited Advanced booth and remembers what was the name of the IEMs on the far right. Was it the m4? I looked at their site and that IEM is $40 the one i am talking about was $399.

edit* think it was the m5.

Yup. The Advanced M5.

 

[AlwaysForward]

That M5 is getting some attention huh? Is it a $399 CIEM?

Universal and CIEM. I believe the Universal is $399.

Went the canjam for 2 whole days, and did not waste a minute.
Through my whole life, I have tried to be a man of reason and logic, in fact, I am about to graduate with a phd in mathematics, if that implies anything.

I am only into the hobby for a few months, but learned as much as I could. This is my 1st Canjam, and it was awsome!

There are many positive things I'd like to mention but I'd rather focus on some very bad trend that struck me the most, especially on the IEM part, which has gone long for some time:
I felt utterly disgusted by a few snake oil vendors selling an universal IEM for $2000+ and even near the $4000 range. Sure, some costly marketing might have done to get some celebrities wearing their products.... so what? They are performers and entertainers.. not 'audiophiles'. But guess whos ending up pay for it? I feel sad for those being exploited by these vendors for their passion. But after all, it is capitalism and analogues things are happening everywhere.

Punching a hole at some particular spot on the IEM housing call it a technology that eliminates listening fatigue? Stuffing as many as divers as they can into it and call it a "world first"? Comon...

FYI, I and my friends struggled to hear any difference between the flagship and their "lesser" products, which are, btw, in the $1k to $3k range as well.

At last, I just want to say to my fellows who share the same passions as I do: WAKE UP!
