That makes sense, because the White Ling is the same shell, and has aggressive vocals that only bother me when I play them too loud on tracks with certain vocals. The only reason I play them a little too loud is to get more bass. If the Black Ling have more bass than those, I'll probably be really happy with them.
Well from other accounts it does have more bass.
Also, if you're not a bit perfect purist, a simple targetted EQ at that peak would remove all harsness. So there's that.
Thanks. Couple of colours ordered!

I used MSEB and lowered the vocal forwardness setting. Worked perfectly on the White Ling, I was just hoping to not use that on the Black.

Received Athena from QLabs. They are comfy and the vents are color coded for easy distinguishing between right and left.Sound wise, I am not sure they are for me. They are fairly bassy for this type of shell, and the highs are sparkly, but are a bit too bright, especially with pop. These buds are detailed, but sound a bit unnatural to me.
In fairness, recommended burn in time is a week. Also, I’ve been listening to a lot of vinyl lately, so my brain is expecting a warm, mid-centric sound.

I ordered an orange Kube1 to replace the one that was lost by the Royal Mail over a month ago plus another orange for my husband. He already has a blue one and I have a purple one. I also ordered a white one for a possible recable... with something that looks really cool (don't have it yet).

I've been eyeing this one for a while. I'd be interested in what you think after a little burn in.
Nice to see you on the mend Sean.

The new (and still unreleased?) Astrotec Lyra Nature warms up the signature a bit, ditches the useless airplane adapter, and has removable cables. Cool beans!

To be honest, I am terrible about burn in. I never do it, and haven't made up my mind as to whether or not it makes a difference (other than brain burn in). I do think it is worth trying these with the KANN, as it is a lot darker than the Hiby - may be a better match. Will let you know.
Also got Willsound MK3 VJC in the same package so want to try them next.

Grumble grumble. Why did I read it. I need to start saving.....again.

Yeah, I kind of gave up burning in and just listen to them. Enjoy the Mk3 - love the VJC cable. I have that on my Mk2 and the Crow Raven
Anyone got any answer from Lee (VEclan) recently ?
I'm waiting since more than a month an answer from him but nothing.. I tried to message him twice between weeks but still nothing. I'm getting worried, maybe he is dead?
