I want the neutral tonality of the Tin T2. The accuracy and detail of the Semkarch. And the bass extension of the Blon. That would be the perfect inear.

interesting, i find the mid bass boosted a bit on I4, also the upper mids are forward yes but they lack smoothness a bit, kind of pointy on some song but nothing drastic

That's not surprising, it is unlikely we are using the same source. And of course we have different ears!

yes, different ears, tips, cables, gear, music types, so many factors

enough for me... I can relate it to modded KPE.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the KPE mod was putting micropore tape over the rear vent and then putting a pinhole through it?

Guys is the tri i4 really good or more of the same.. I want a serious answer to this..

Really good according to whom? More of the same as what? There are several reviews posted already. I think it's good value for money and enjoy it quite a bit.

I agree with the comments on the BL-03 too. After a cable switch, it is immensely enjoyable to listen to. I'd put it up against anything in the < $100 segment for tonality and musicality.

i think his mod is more advanced than that

I initially did the larger port, on the base, erroneously. The correct port is the smaller one, that's on the base of the neck/nozzle

Wrong port:

i tried your vent mod, the bass is more but bloated, fun though

Who doesn't own a Semkarch CNT-1 yet? You must!

It's putting the hundreds of dollars I spent on KZ's to shame. Shame on me for buying so many!

This is sort of how I felt when I heard them.

Then the realization that I'll have to spend alot of money on headphones before I beat the quality of the cnt1. It's definitly curbed my spending.

Does anyone know how big the soundstage is on semkarch?

3 meters

No seriously, I haven't listened to them in a while but iirc width of the stage is not their strongest area. I really didn't like them until I put some A5 filters on them and still I'd say they only average at $99 (the price I paid for them). For less than $40 I'd say they're a strong contender with A5 filters but then again that brings the price up unless you've got them already......

How do the A5 filters affect the sound on the semkarch?

That depends on the filters (naturally). To me SEMKARCH are to dark, muffled and extensions of the highs is not very good. I like a lot of air and a bit of sparkle in the sound. The right filters can give you that, other filters can give you something else.

I covered the vent purely to see if it measured more in line with what I was hearing. I don't do mods, always review IEMs in their stock form and without any EQ!
