Those seem quite interesting. I'm a bit surprised people don't talk about them as they used to...

...because everyone wants to talk about whatever is new. I love going back to old pages and finding older things. I have done that quite a bit with iems and buds.

Like these JVC surround sound headphone from 1977?

It's the next best thing to being there live in concert!

I remember that several friends of mine had Quadrophonic audio systems, back in the late 1970s, including 4-channel headphones (with dual 1/4" plugs).
Their receivers had a Joystick on the front, to use instead of a Balance knob.
The source was vinyl albums. :L3000:

Been meaning to post this, for what it is worth I measured my E-mi (Joyplus) C631 when I had them. They were too midbass heavy for me, and the upper treble (10khx spike) was a bit too bright for my liking.

When I was growing up, I heard 1 quadraphonic setup, with the proper records. I was blown away, because I had heard nothing like it before!

Sorry you didn’t like them. I sure love em! :)

If you don’t like the treble of the C630/CI-880, you won’t like the C631. It’s definitely bright, but nowhere near as spikey as the stock ZS5 v2 or ZS6. And the C631 definitely doesn’t have the sibilance either.

Yeah I remember taking c630 off my radar a while back after reading some reviews and seeing some measurements. I will say with that peak it was not sibilant like the KZ ones you mention. Those 2 models are not something I reach for ever.

Like @mbwilson111 mentioned, tennmak's IEMs were pretty well regarded when i joined headfi close to 2 years ago and during the 11.11 sale i got them (becoz it was cheaper and looked uber cool compared to the dulcimer and also the piano) with a few other KZs and earbuds.

That kickstarted this freefall into the endless pithole. Nevertheless, i should say it is an enjoyable fall xD cant see the end too xD

Hi,

Anything newer at the same price (~$30) that fits the Somic V4 Dual Drivers destricption: "superb instruments separation.''?

If you can stretch a little bit more (They're about $45 at the moment), the Brainwavz B100 have great separation and imaging, especially for a single BA. Dug them out last night and forgot how good they were.

Listening to them now and out of all my iems they are up near the top for separation. Separation is a strong point of the KZ ZS10 too.

Hello guys, so I need your wise advice. I saved £100 for the aliexpress sale. I am definitely getting the kz as10, but besides that I am torn between quite a few iems and don't know which ones to get. I want something similar sounding to whizzer a15 or kz zs10. Warm enough with a good kick, but not too much bass, with enough charity and good soundstage(yes I know, I ask for too much ). I am between tennmark trio 3, magaosi k3 pro, EN900 and tin audio t2. Now I can only buy 3 of them (including the kz as10). Any help will be greatly appreciated!
