nothing a hammer can't soften

LOL....so now I know what to do with any that feel too stiff.

Poor you... LOL

Honestly I'm not sure why anyone would bother getting the Fiio F9se when for $10 more you get a detachable design with two cables... Must be why they still have them in stock.

 

[HungryPanda]

True I would only want the detachable cable version myself

They can be driven by a cellphone with no problem, isolation is average, not as good as, say, KZ ZS6 or TFZ KING.

Can you please give a brief comparison among these 3 IEMs with respect to sound quality? Which one do you like the best?

Holly molly, just received the echobox audio traveler and I think it is the best iem in the price range=-O=-O=-O

This one? - https://echoboxaudio.com/products/the-traveler-titanium-earphone

 

[mochill]

That is correct

 

[DBaldock9]

That is correct

Which more expensive IEMs have you heard, that the Traveler compares favorably with?

Yes - love some comparison to some others. Even some of the other newer options around (eg hibiki, dm5, T2, MacaW GT600, etc)
What strengths were most notable and how did you find soundstage, isolation, driveability (was close to getting the T2 but these look more suited to commuting - I guess called the traveler for reason)?

Among these three, Tin T2 is my favorite. ZS6 is simply beautiful, I really tried to love it, and it has not much shortcomings, except for the boomy bass, that alone kills it for me. TFZ king has a larger soundstage, but vocals sometimes can sound weird. T2 has the best instrument separation, stronger bass even than King, but more reined-in than ZS6, and very consistent across the spectrum, treble might be "piercing" to some, but it is ok with me.
Both T2 and ZS6 are a steal for the price.

Seems like your primary is T2 Rutherford than zs6

I'm not hearing the T2 the same way. To my ears the TFZ King has a stronger mid-bass punch though it's very controlled on both. Only opened the T2 box a week ago and already there's signs of oxidization on the cable above the Y-split. That doesn't affect the sound thankfully but is disappointing nonetheless. I do agree the T2 has great separation and the boosted upper mids are great for female vocals. Overall it's v good technically and is not your typically tuned budget iem.

Will do comparison soon, isolation#1, very tiny, very detailed and balanced , made for traveling, soundstage wide and deep
