Mmcx connector of my aq4 cable broke the other day and I hurt myself trying to remove it.

what.....well, this doesnt make the mmcx drama story less concerning....but this cable didnt create sound issue i guess enh?
so, this is either too tigh fit or too loose it seem...i suggest you to use this to avoid more cable broking:

Yeah, I'm gonna buy one of these the next time I order anything. Still though, I think manufacturers should at least include these in their packages if they insist on using mmcx

some do, like Rose Technic with QT9 mk2s and Final Audio (they are the one that invent this in fact, but twas too pricey for a piece of plastic imo)....but indeed, i mean...its cheap now and can save your cable and even your IEM as well as making you swearing less.

apart that, how do you like your AQ4 mate??

It is different than my other IEMs. I shared my impressions on fb. For short, thunderous sub-bass. Like you said they are guilty pleasures. If there is sub 100 hz info in the recording, it will steal the spotlight. It is addicting, really. Fortunately or unfortunately midbass don't punch very hard. If it did I can't imagine. Rest of the frequency is actually very well tuned, nothing offensive but bass overshadows evertything haha

The MMCX connectors are at risk of damage when pulled apart. The tools are really helpful but you can also use your finger nail (or something similar) and pry away at the MMCX connection and pop it off.

Nice post man! I completely Agree with you about the As16 Pro. I haven't felt the need for an impedence adapter as well. I actually enjoy the more forward nature to the Mids. I can also get being your thoughts on the similarities between the low end of the Olina and the AS16 Pro. I reviewed the Pro awhile back and so many negative thoughts about it but I simply didn't, and still don't find it to be an issue. Subjectivity I suppose. The AS16 Pro is a very nice all BA iem in my book. Anyways, I just wanted to agree with you man.

Happy to see you here mate...lotta friends coming in...so so cool!

let say your last post on Chifi Love about TRN MT3 really hook me....do you feel they are among best offering under 20$ right now?
Graph seem quite interesting...were into harman target territory again it seem....but 16$ way, why not?

Beautiful graph. Ohhh

Can't wait for Tangzu Wan'er though. $20 best harman is very competitive right now but none can beat Tangzu aesthetics

By the way, wheres the revised Salnotes with better midbass shelf?

There was no such thing. Crin has a new collab in the kitchen. He shared the graph as red something and everyone thought it was salnotes mecha edition. It can be from 7hz salnotes or some other brand. If there have been any leaks or announcements after that, I don't know

yep, big warm slam...for me, these are basshead level in fact...but ear tips can have drastic change on tonal balance.... for ex, these Dunu Horn tips tame bass alot...improve imaging and make treble more energic and detailed...feel like a whole other IEM so im not sure to prefer this presentation and tend to go back to guilty pleasure lol
short wide bore is most upfrond sub bass, yet, wides soundstage (less deep)
while KB07 is similar but hin more balanced...
perhaps reversed KZ Starlines will offer same result as Dunu horn...but not sure...
AQ4 like crisp clean neutral source too imo. with low impedance.

Yes anything with BAs usually affected by output impedance drastically. Mine have driver flex on both sides and although these are not huge, my ears can't accommodate most hybrids and tribrids. So comfort comes first for me. I like wider bored black 7hz black tips. Spinfit cp100 is nice too

Salnotes Zero was tuned by Crin and Larry.
While Dioko (i really dont like those planar) just by Crin.
Indeed, Wan'er seem very very promising. I believe in Tangzu tuning talent (i forgive them for Shimin li lol)

btw, 7HZ are working on Planar headphones right now. Surely budget minded. But on ear...is an audacious design to say the least!

I want to hear them so bad, but importing things here getting harder and harder

Hi mates, in your experiences, which iem is the best BL03's upgrade?

Hi mates, in your experiences, which iem is the best BL03's upgrade?

it depend....if you mean following near exact same tonal balance or not....
what is you price range mate?

I was thinking Moondrop Kato....for similar tonality with better technical performance but its a bit less bassy and more mid centric than BL03

Mmcx connector of my aq4 cable broke the other day and I hurt myself trying to remove it.

I'm not exactly sure that "Like", is the appropriate response to someone else's gear breaking!
