very impressive for mere earbuds!I never found it analytical and I think for me full foams would muddy the already average midrange clarity and bump the mid bass too much possibly causing bloat. I did try full heigi foams but I think the graphene’s for me just aren’t my favourite but some people love it and I think everyone should try many foams first anyway because of how drastically the sound can change.For anyone who bought the NiceHCK Graphene but found the tonality too cold / analytical I really recommend applying a full foam + donut foam on top of the full foam.
This makes it seal better and brings up the mid-bass, plus it balances the treble with the mids to make it sound warmer and overall more balanced. The bass becomes less tight and it hurts the imaging slightly but it's worth it for the warmer tonality, and the soundstage is still great. I find these almost as enjoyable as full size senn hd598s
will add into buying list. is this fengru diy pk2 or niceHCK? .i didnt have amp at the moment... only rely on my pc and my phone as source. another suggestion?
i do think the source from same manufacture and do in house tuning as i cant found this two store in taobao..nvm..will stick to niceHCK to be safe..thanks..
then pk2/pk2s will sound good. I have diy pk2 but i bought dsqm pk2s from nicehck because apparently it has better bass for more balanced sound.
New foam combo on my bk. This is the only combination that increases the soundstage and separation whilst also perfectly taming the high end. With the right fit bass is felt and not just heard, but I’ll have to do some tweaking to push the top piece of the foam forward for a better seal as just doing it withmy finger improves the bass impact and overall excitement of mid bass drums etc.
I came across this combo out of disatisfaction of the treble and overall balance using my previous thin monk combo. It was good but not right. So I went back to the classic heigi foam and loved the tamed treble and the bass response but didn’t like the congestion and lack of air/space. So I knew I needed something thick but also allowing air through (heigi isn’t pourous and too dense for an airy sound)
So I grabbed my new monk ex pack, took two of the new black monk thins for each side, cut both into donuts of the same size. I put one on first then the other on top. It’s a little thick but it’s workable because it’s spongy. The sound is extremely balanced, there’s space between you and the earbud so mids and vocals are not in your face and more tastefully forward than aggressively so, high’s are detailed but now perfectly tamed just to allow enough through to keep it sparkly. Low end with tampering on the fit is full and impactful. I feel like this is how the stardust should have been since day one but the wrong foams were supplied!!!
Nice I really love the space/air and the seal for sub bass is great. Slightly less than heigi but not far off, the next best thing for bass emphasis that sounds really clean and retains all the details of the treble without the harshness.
