I will analyze them both (and others) when I have more time. Probably next week when all my exams are over. Then I will go review a lot of stuff I wanna review.
I remember that feeling before every exam I had the inspiration to always do something else :wink:

Perhaps the RW-1000 bass would work?
As this link shows, @ClieOS says the following
"rw-2000 is great. In short, it is the re-evolution of the rw-1000 low-frequency version, which is a popular weapon.
In terms of cost/performance ratio, the rw-1000 is of course much higher. The rw-2000 is more like a combination of the analysis of the original rw-1000 and the low-frequency version of the rw-1000's pop tuning after the comprehensive re-evolution."

Edit: So it seems that rw-1000 bass is not stronger bass than rw-2000.

I will love to see graphs for all 3 RW's. Can you find any info?

Hi everyone,

Quick one as I'm "new" to earbuds.

I just ordered the VE Sun Dice (180Ω -- 109dB sensitivity) with a 3.5 SE termination out of habit.

I'll mainly use them with portable devices (A&K SR25, L&P W1 -- both should do 125 mW @ 32Ω -- or Shanling M6 Pro which does 200 mW @ 32Ω on ultra gain).

Knowing that I always prefer single-ended, would you recommend that I change my order to balanced or not at all?

I know I can go from balanced to single-ended with adapters but would like to avoid it if possible.

Thanks in advance,

NewEve

Although spec'd @ 180Ω impedance they are rather sensitive @ 109dB/mW... so they are not terribly difficult to drive. For example, ~1.5V @ ~12.5 mW will drive them to ~120 dB SPL. Less than a half a volt at a little over one milliwatt will drive them to 110dB SPL!

That said you may get improved bass response with more power (doubtful though due to their sensitivity). Selecting "balanced" instead of "unbalanced; single-ended" termination may be a wise choice as balanced output usually offers more power. Also, balanced to single-end adapters are easy to come by (for whenever you want/need to go unbalanced)... whereas unbalanced to balanced adaptors are a HUGE "No-No!" as they can severely damage any of your equipment offering balanced outputs.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer 🙏🏼

The Zen LL is truly a masterpiece. Comfort in all aspects: sound, ergonomics, etc...
Perfectly balanced, I'm very impressed.
I think nothing in audiophile world has been as gratifying as earbuds.
The Rosemary double foamed is just unbelievable at this price.
There is no more any monetary obstacles to achiave beautiful audiophile sound.
