Is anyone here who have both HCK Graphene and Edimun V3 Rhodium would giving out some comparison ? I have a great offer on Edimun V3 but currently have Graphene on my possesion. Is it worth a shot or better yet, an upgrade?

i have both. I'm using ve thin foams on the edimun (with full foams, the bass is too boomy) and full foams on the graphene (with ve foams, the treble is too brittle).

the graphene is more v shaped, more emphasis on low bass, recessed mids, and clear treble. the edimun doesn't reach deep bass, but have good amount of mid bass, mids more forward, and sparkly treble. the edimun sounded more natural to me, while the graphene is more cleanly polished sound. if you have the fund, I'd say go for it,get the edimun. i can't say it's an upgrade because the graphene sound is unique to my ears, and rather different from the edimun

is this because of the cable makes graphene more bass ?

Hey @chinmie ,
Thanks for the great comparison. I thought many people say Edimun is quite V shaped sounding. Now if you say Graphene is more V shaped of the two, then I guess I would really like the Edimun. I can agree with you on the Graphene is a unique sounding earbud. The presentation is more like a speaker to my ears, just without the crazy depth, soundstage and heavy and realistic nuance on each details on decent stereo setup. It reminds me a bit like my brother Sony Z1R in black background and soundstage wise.

the edimun does fall in the v shaped sounding buds category, like the graphene, but it has a little bit more forward mid than the graphene. also take account of the different foam between them on my review. the newer generation buds like the graphene excel on really good bass to sub bass that sometimes it can rival IEMs. another bass heavy buds that i enjoy using is the Svara L (especially for watching movies) and Willsound MK2 (more natural sounding than the graphene)

@chinmie As I don't remember much of the graphene discussion, is there a particularly recommended link for them? I think I broke down and need to try this one out even though I have way too many earbuds as it is. It just sounds way too promising.

I bought the Masya but I'm not pretty sure it's the Stardust I wanted all along. Someone above said it's like DIY PK2, but top class? That's what I want!

Masya is lovely but it's just not a full sounding earbud for TOTL. It's crystal clear, slightly bright and has great soundstage and separation.

But it lacks fullness and it's not the mostly sparkly sound. Leaning more towards analytical high end.

I'll keep it and maybe save up for stardust. Having both would complete my collection.

I read graphenes are pretty close to Shozy BK

I have the Liebesleid. And I think it is difficult to use runing with this.

if one would want to go ToTL sound with mid fi price is it possible ? Any suggestion . Looking for good bass and soundstage

the one that i have is the nicehck diy mx760 version (the transparent one), but i bought it locally from my fellow forum member. from what he told me, different versions of mx760 graphene from different seller in aliexpress sound a little different to each other (he have compared and sold a couple of different versions)

What do you particularly find in other offerings as being more natural than Graphene? From my extended listening, its quite natural to my ears. I mean most instruments i heard have proper nuance to it. Microdynamics and macrodynamics are the one play major roles. Hope to hear from you on this yeah

the graphene sounds more polished (in a good way), like the song went through another mastering process and put more smooth sound to it, while the willsound is more raw in presentation (again, in a good way). neither is better than the other, just different flavour to the sound

Great to know. I agree that it has kind of polished sound. Probably a little bit of it to make sound of string a bit smoother and a lil bit less raw and textured. Still reasonably textured for my taste though.

BTW, I'm sorry if I ask too much question, if I crave bit more bass than the Graphene could deliver, would Edimun V3 satisfies my need?

nope, the graphene's bass is enormous in earbuds standard. in my collection the ones that comparable in bass are the vidos, willsound mk2, and the svara L.
have you tried the svara?

Which Svara L, 32 or 115 Ohms?

Actually only is possible to buy 32 Ohms?


Thx

I recommend "Moondrop VX Pro" and "Creative Aurvana Air".

"Moondrop VX Pro" has Ornate treble-medium and deep bass.
"Creative Aurvana Air" without hook has Clear 3D sound.

Edit:
Adding below.
"TY Hi-Z HP-150s" has Pretty clear high tone + deep bass.

mine is the 115 ohm i believe, because it takes a hell lot more volume to drive than my other 32ohm buds

Nope. Heard a lot people spelled positive things about them. Guess I would just give the Graphene a try with stock full foam to increase the bass if they are comparable with Svara L. Plus, I can get Edimun with price more cheaper than Svara L.
