Booked the hotel for the weekend and was looking forward to trying a few things, but had to leave early due to a home emergency.
Tried the Dunu Luna, and perhaps it was because I directly compared it to the Sony IER-Z1R, but it didn’t sound as clear or detailed. Don’t get me wrong it’s decent. It had great bass impact, but I thought the mid bass was a bit much.
It was tough getting an assessment of the Chord 2Go. I was unfamiliar with all the music they had on the SD card. I wanted to compare it directly with the Hugo 2 via Camera Adapter from iPhone. Pretty much sounded identical to me. I was tempted to say perhaps via the 2Go the entire sound was more focused but that could be placebo or just difference in file type. I find the suggested price very hard to swallow for what you get especially after waiting so long.
I think the new Spin Fit CP-100 tips were good. Will definitely pick up a few of those.
I think perhaps the only thing that impressed me was the Hiby R8. Incredible sound stage and detail. Good air, and vocals and just overall natural. I also found it to be quite transparent. It’s full on Android and has 4G, you can run whatever streaming music player you like, which would fit my use case, This one I look forward to hearing more about. I think it sounded better than the Cayin N8. Heard chatters or a price range around 2 grand.
