Was not talking about MH755. ED9 has its own faults

I spoke about the MH755 not sounding right because that might explain why the ED9 sounds so much better to me and not to you.

Well You said that ED9 is "vastly superior in every way", that`s why I took a note about ED9 faults. If You had talked about sound signature preference then I wouldn`t had said that about ED9

Have you checked that they are in phase?

I am sure my MH755 is underperforming so yes, in this case I believe it is accurate to say that. If I had the same experience as others with the MH755 then I am sure that I would have a different opinion. It has nothing to do with sound signature preference as I have, and enjoy, many different IEMs with different sound profiles. In addition, the build quality and accessories in the ED9 are also much better than the MH755.

I don't think so, as out of phase IEMs usually lack bass and have a weird soundstage (like the KBEAR Opal I have). My MH755 has too much bass (for me). Good thought, though.

Did You try wide-bore silicone tips with MH755? Stock tips make them more bassy.

Yes, I can try that. It will be a situation where the tips cost more than the IEMs if I use Spiral Dots! Lol.

i only bought this cheap earphone (Yotaphone 2 earphone) because i want to try the eartips, but turns out the sound is pleasantly surprising. for me it's a contender to the MH755, and with a more forward mids/less scooped V sound of the MH755.

i think I'll buy some more for stock

It even looks a bit like the MH755

BTW, it's interesting to see a harman target compensated FR curve of the MH755, given that the raw curve of the MH755 is already virtually near the harman target. So as a result, you can see how flat the curve is.

About MH755 (purchased mine with Sony SBH50 quite some years ago, like five or so), I'd say that mines sound signature is not V-shaped. Mids are not recessed to my ears and bass is present, but never over-emphasized. BTW It can go pretty down but at the end, lacks some sub bass extension. In fact, I find MH755 pretty balanced, with maybe a mid-centric touch.
e.g. when I use them directly connected to ES100, there's some sibilance in the mid zone that bothers me in some tracks.

It makes me think that maybe there're different models, physically identical or very similar. Or maybe some are copies. Or maybe Sony changed something in the production at some point...

Supposedly arrived 2 weeks ago, but Canada Post had a re-routing issue so I have waited for almost 4 weeks:
KBEAR F1 (CAD $35), BLON CARDINAL (CAD $88), Y***** ASH (CAD $30), TRN IM2 (CAD $23), and MDK-ESS 3DFAITH (CAD $30). Different sound signatures, but some of them have identical shell shapes hmmm. I’ll post the reviews a week after my finals.

Kbear F1 and Svara Red are my favourite 1-driver IEMs atm mainly because of their nozzles

Sorry for the long post!
