Guys

Do you consider RW-9 as recessed mids or V shaped?

I'm having hard time making my mind.

In my mind, "V shaped" usually means "more recessed mids" (relative to the lows and highs). I think the RW-9's have less recessed mids, and therefore are less V-shaped, and more balanced.

These are all loosely defined terms. Call it whatever you want because without measurements it could be anything as we all hear differently.

Using the term V shape to me literally only means 'the frequency response is roughly emphasised on both ends and dipped in the middle'.

I will not read too much into such basic terms other than to get an idea what to expect. So 'recessed mids' or V shape to me do mean something similar but beyond that who is to say exactly what that means to each induvidual?

I don't think you can be accurate with these descriptions tbh.

I'd love to argue with you, but I can't think of anything to argue about

I'm thinking that (relative to my choice of foams which is porous foam ATM) rw-9 is recessed mids or slight V. Because I had to move my volume knob more than usual to match my desired mids / highs when changing track, regardless of replay gain. With more balance earbuds like my docomo its less an issue.

Rw-9 highs is brilliant with full or porous foam but to get my desired mids I use porous, at the expense of highs getting hot on some track. Still not harsh and very iem like IMO. Full foam smooths thing out a little bit but not my cup, ie listening to guitar or rock.

Will work on my multi hole foam mod like ClieOS.

Edit

Oh I'm not thinking about what the term really means, just wondering if anybody else think rw-9 sound is really V or is it just my hearing / my gear choice

A lot (most?) of my buds are more V-shaped than the RW-9's (imo). So no, I don't think they are really V shaped.

LOL! I don't want to argue about it, but that's one of the best skits ever!

No it isn't.

Once you've turned off all audio enhancements, there is absolutely no colouration or DSP added to the audio signal in windows, which makes ASIO and WASAPI totally redundant for most end-users and consumers.

Even with audio enhancements turned off, doesn't audio go through through the Windows mixer and resampling unless you use ASIO or WASAPI (e.g. for bit perfect output)?

The first orange Kube V1 that I odered back in January arrived in the UK on January 30. Then the tracking stopped. Well, it finally turned up! Unfortunately not at my house. It was delivered to the seller...back in Indonesia where it began its journey. LOL. What adventures has it had over these past three months?

Yes. The real question is of course whether you can tell the difference or not.

A few years ago one of my package coming from HK to Malaysia took a 9 months detour to Africa. Now that's an adventure!

At least you received it...I guess mine did not want to live in the UK.

Haha..the tracking actually updated. I had stopped looking at it weeks ago. The seller messaged me after he received it.
