They are really great. Just a fantastic tuning. If they charged anywhere between $30-$50 USD, I doubt that anyone would disagree.

Yeah, but they would have to improve quality control. Can't argue with the sound, one of the best deals in the history of audio, just pure energy.

Both of them color the sound in a manner that make the music appear unnatural to my ears. I guess people that enjoy the Tomahawk can also like the Graphenes.
To me the Graphenes are useless. But I seem to be the only one here with that opinion.

Thanks. In what way do they color the sound?

They sound pastel

They sound pastel

Damn it!

 

[Saoshyant]

Damn it!

Not sure if I beat you to the joke or if it was that bad.

 

[Blueshound24]

They sound pastel

Ok, then, in what way do they affect the sound...

Just ordered a pair and I'm not really into the "pastel" type of sound. That is exactly how I would describe the sound signature of Toneking TP16 and that is why I sold my pair. Well, I'll at least give the graphene buds a chance.

I took it as a joke but then that is how my mind works.

Meanwhile...your post triggered a bit of reading:

Chromesthesia or sound-to-color synesthesia is a type of synesthesia in which heard sounds automatically and involuntarily evoke an experience of color

Such an interesting subject.

In an attempt to stay on topic I will mention that my **** PT15 s arrived today and so far I am enjoying them.

Take a listen to Bubbles on any kind of at least somewhat neutral tuned headgear


Then try it on the Graphenes. I promise your reaction ought to be - what's wrong with my set-up? Did I not push the plug fully through? Did I accidentally EQ my gear? Is my DAP running low on battery? What the frecking feck is wrong with my ears? Please let me out of this torture sound disaster!!!11111

way to go, i learn how to solder with earbuds, practiced on the monk+ (very easy because R+ R- L+ L- have different color wire. Not happening with most.
by reterminating yourself 2 or 3 earbuds, you will justify the cost of equipment vs asking someone else to do it for you

Did you experiment with different brands of solders?

sounds good on the graphenes. They are a bit different but I like the sound

I agree! (see below). And I haven`t even tried my trusty monk+ thin foams on them yet

What have been the typical QC issues with them?

Just listened with my newly aquired emx 500`s. Sounds very awesome! Unbelievable actually. Thanks for posting that.

But back to the graphenes... your description is very vivid, but not completely clear lol. How do they sound to you?

Sounds great on the K's Earphone K600. FTFY

Hey guys quick question, is there somewhere I can order donut foams from? I like listening to my Monks without foam, but they can get a little uncomfortable. I tried cutting holes into the stock ones but they end up stretching and ripping super easily afterwards.
