They respond well to EQ. The mids are recessed compared to lows and highs but they can brought forward as well. I don't find them comfortable for long sessions though. Something like the ED16 on the other hand fits me like a glove.
Many people have different size ear canals. Mine are a little different but not enough to use two different sized tips on the one iem. I stick with medium for most iems. I do have large on a couple of them.. not even sure which ones now.
It would be interesting to see a direct comparison beetwen v80 and fiio fh1.
The fh1 is praised for it's awesome bass. Never had the chance to hear them.
Somebody on the eastern side of the US got a v80 they'll loan me for a couple of weeks? I'll fund shipping. I just want to give them a fair shake and I thought I had my review done but if my sample is atypical I'd rather not publish it yet.
I have a pair that sounds good to me, if you are still looking for a pair to review send me a PM. I have plenty of other favorites to use while they are gone.
Omdz, Just wow! Ive received my qt2s and my first impressions i have to say that it is my most favourite iem so far. This is the best bass I've heard so far from any iem, even beats the it01s bass for me! The subbass rumble is soo addictive and you can feel the bass rather then just hearing it compared with all my other iems I've tried. It generally has a satisfying full bodied approach in the lows and mids then gets a bit thinner in the highs which creates a bit more livelyness. Vocals sound solid and clear but if there was one complaint, I would prefer them to pull the bass quantity just slightly back in order to balance the sound out more which will give mids more prescense. Overall, my first impressions are outstanding on these and do feel it is a steal at the £27 I paid for them. If the queen's are an upgrade to these (which should be coming anytime now) then I'm in for a real treat!
I like the bass in the QT2 as well (although I thought we couldn't talk about them!). However, for me, the mids and treble lack a bit of clarity and space. After using the Artiste DC1 and Elecom CB1000 with their piezo HF drivers I feel there's something missing in that area. After some experimentation I have found another one I like, that's the Whizzer A15 pro. I wear them cable down with the earpieces swapped, a 5N silver plated cable (the supplied cable is terrible) and large Trinity Kombi tips. This lifts the bass a little. The overall sound is neutral but with super detail and resolution with a huge soundstage.

It might very well have been me who said that about the treble. I got them when I was on holiday in Spain and only had the stock tips available but now at home with access to a myriad of tips they're much better. With triple flanges they're no worse in the treble than the QT2 to my ears, just a toch thinner up there.
Edit: going back and forth between the two the QT3 is a bit lighter in impact and brighter in overall signature.
Speaking of the Nine Tail without forcing me to try to decipher graphs could you just tell me what each filter color means? Is one to increase bass, one for treble.. or?
The R and L are really hard to see so I had to remedy that. Did something similar to the bud in the same photo. Love red electrical tape Nail polish or marker would not have worked on either of these.

So is it weird to have the red nozzle with the blue rear? It IS colorful...
I did listen the first night with silver/silver and I enjoyed it. Then I changed it to the red/blue and enjoyed that. I guess I am weird and no one should ever ask my opinion... lol.
oh, and btw, I do think of sound as colors so what you said makes total sense and was what I was kind of expecting.
