his criteria seems to be volume and bass quantity--if an iem is loud and booming, he loves it. not a very sophisticated palate, but it's his site. i will say that the photos are very pretty and it does serve the purpose of promoting fantastically obscure brands you wouldn't otherwise hear of, some of which (dzat, joyroom) can be quite good and some of which are not.

I guess it's hard for reviewers not to let their preferences sway their opinions

That's why I avoid audiobudget. Dude spends next to no time with an earphone before he reviews it. I respect all the work he puts into his site, but I will never use it as a valid resource.

how do the SEAHF AWK-009 compare to the Einsear T2? Looking for clarity mostly

the seafh is brighter than the slightly warm einsear, has a bigger stage and more midbass throb. both vg; if i had to pick on on the basis of clarity i'd probably opt for the einsear, which is less overshadowed by the low end.

I have had a pair for a while and I was always a bit disappointed because of the light bass although like you said the details are crisp and the sound is clean. Use them sparingly. Then last week I decided to do some tip rolling an them and was using the large genetic silicones that I get from Amazon that are my go to tips for bass and still no major results..then I decided to push the tips as far down on the stem as they would go and EUREKA!!! Holy Moly Batman! There it was.. Bass became full, clear, with Excellent quantity and quality...overall sound quality improved, resolution and soundstage expanded! It was like an entirely new pair of headphones. Unbelievable the difference in quality. Immediately bought another pair from GB.. ...10 bucks?? No brainer, get it while you can...jmo

Trumpethead--I have ot thank you for the advice regarding the LZ A03. I too had never been happy with the lack of bass. I "shoved" the tip down as far as I could, and voila! The bass came out to play! Amazing. Thanks again.

Can you guys recommend a good pair of tips for the Tingo FL800?

 

[Vidal]

@Vidal do you plan on reviewing the **** 6in1?
Or maybe the KZ ZS5.

I've ordered the KZ ZS5s but the 6in1 is a bit pricey for me/my site. I stretched to the Ty Hi Z G3s but that was because I wanted a pair for myself

Here's my review for the 1More EB100 Ear Hook Wireless Headphones.

So care to share the other 2 BT headphones that you like better than the EB100. I'm in suspense after reading your review!

Have a look at:
1, FLC8S. Can be found on AliExpress or lendmeurears.com
2, Vsonic GR09. Can only buy this through a taobao agent.

VSONIC GR09 WAS OUT ALREADY???!!! Omg do you have a link?

 

[ephrank]

I'm using them with an upgraded cable but not for reasons related to the sound. The original cable has stiff memory wire which made it difficult for me to get a comfortable fit. They do sound pretty good though. I will be posting a review, hopefully in the next 2 weeks.

Great thanks. Would love to know how they scale with cable upgrades. What sources are you using?

Yes. I have paid a deposit of 99 y today. The price starts at 1999y for a silver ones. They will be shipped before 15the of June.
But there are already over 10 short impressions on Taobao and most of them are not wonderful. Some prefer even to get back to 07...

 

[NNewman]

Last news. Gr09 are available for preorder. Only Silver colour for 1999y will be PLASTIC. ALL OTHER COLOURS for 2499 and ceramic housing. Black is not available .

Your welcome, That's what's so great about these forums we share our insights and experiences and learn from each other. I had almost given up on these but something as simple as "shoving" the tip down all the way made all the difference..love this hobby...

a bit off topic i guess, i somehow came across this Ocharaku Co-Donguri Shizuku at CDJapan.. looks interesting enough, from some of the reviews, its said that it got less bass but excel in mids and treble.. for that, i already have FAD Heaven II, somehow wondering how does it compares to FAD Heaven II or ZA Carbo Tenore... anybody had experiences with this ocharaku brand? most of its other products are wayyyy expensive except this one particular piece, selling at around 40+- USD..

I've also been looking for statements regarding this for a while. Seems almost no one has heard both. (I also tried to get comparisons with Carbo Mezzo, available at CD Japan for just a little bit more than Shizuku and it's supposed to be better than Tenore)
I've been this close || to ordering both.
