CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

I don't necessarily want a bright pair of IEMs but I do like airyness and detail. Is the bass tighter on the zs3 or Tennmak? Is the highs more detailed on the zs3 or Tennmak? Anyone used the YHS 002? It's a 1DD+1BA


Details are definitely superior on the pro imo and if your after an airy sound the pro also delivers.

The bass on the pro appeared a little bloated in mid bass section at first but this soon disappears.

If you can't tell yet, i like the pro a lot!! They are my go to iem at type moment for everything. To me they have a very addictive non fatiguing sound with the mids being the star of the show. The bass after burn is beautiful too and goes really deep.

Overall they're smooth sounding with an excellent soundstage and separation.

Look at the three reviews posted so far, I'm not alone in my enthusiasm for them and would give them 5 Stars myself.

Bloated bass is a little distracting to me. I like present bass but well behaved and balanced. If I could get some IEMs that sound like my HE400 with the audeze vegan pads, that would be amazing.

If it ever was, it disappears. Am laying here ill not able to sleep listening to some Fleetwood Mac on them now and they sound beautiful. Feel like I'm sat in a big concert hall with their big soundstage and can hear every little detail.

I ordered one a week ago, will take two weeks more to arrive in the Netherlands. I have a Zorloo ZuperDac which uses the same ES9018 DAC, which sounds great. So I'm curious who will win in a head to head race :wink:
 
By the way, a dap is a digital audio player, like this or this
The product from the link is a dac or dac/amp :wink:

How does the **** 4in1 compare with the XE800?
 
They're both similar in price and supposedly the "real" XE800 uses the same driver as the Gr07.
 
Seems like the XE800 is a much better phone, no?

  Thank you for your insight! What about Xiaomi Hybrids vs 1MORE Piston Classic? By the way, is the latter basically the Xiaomi Piston 2.1?

 
Mmm, I'm not really sure but they look quite alike (Piston 2.1 and 1MORE Piston Classic).
 
Comfort-wise, I think the Hybrids are much better than the Piston 2.1 :)

Senfers: more suitable for all-round use. However, they are a bit big and heavy on your ears, imho. Some might find it uncomfortable.
 
XE800: more snug fit and pretty light form factor, and they have impressive midrange details, imho.

My bad man, this is what a newbie will learn hehehe. I hope to see you review the one I just linked. It is really cheap and don't want to spend anything expensive since I am still learning. Btw bro, how does the Fiio X3 2nd gen compare to Zorloo Zuper DAC?

Are the senfers worth double in price?

seems like the XE800 can be had for around $20 whereas the senfers are $40


They are around $25-28 depending on the sellers on the 4 in 1.

The X3ii DAC function when connected to a computer? If not then you are still asking between a DAC and DAP.
