Earbuds Round-Up

On another note, I have discovered that the cable I was using for my M2S Pro was what was causing the shouty(ness) that I was hearing. I put the stock cable back on, and I no longer had that. I still need to get another cable, because the stock cable DOES make the overall sound tinny. Very interesting how much of a change different cables make on these. I think I noticed more of a change going between these two cables on the M2S Pro than I did cable rolling on my AS T800 (which I thought was a pretty large difference even then).

Edit: Looks like the Man hit the censor button on me... LOL

Nice! That'll keep you busy for a while. Curious what the differences are between the Iris 2.0 and Snow Lotus 1.0.
Yeah, I will definitely be busy (I also got the Denon D1100 a few days ago lol).

Only got the SL 2.5mm balanced.

All photos are great but can you at least use smaller size or thumbnails because this is a bit too "heavy"

Nice pictures!

Iris 2.0 was quite a nice bud to my ears, easy to listen to but didn't wow me :) Look forward to your impressions when you get round to it.

I heard the QC on the Faaeal stuff is pretty bad. So hope they arent lemons.


...wonder if I can graph the RW-100 with my IEC711....

I've only brought two Faaeal products and both sounded OK to me. I guess n=2, isn't much to go on though.

Finally got the FENGRU DIY EMX500 and it is actually the same as the NiceHCK DIY MX500. The soundstage is not as big and less detailed on the FENGRU. Plugged in both to the same PC and listened to some songs with the same foam - on the left ear using the FENGRU while the right is the NiceHCK (left side not working). The difference is the pouch it comes with and slightly different look for the audio jack.

Thank you so much for your reviews! It helped a lot @RikudouGoku ヾ(•ω•`)o

My personal preference in order with the stuff I have:

1) Yincrow X6/NiceHCK DIY MX500
2) NiceHCK Traceless
3) FAAEAL Iris CE

Faaeal impressions:

Faaeal Iris 2.0: Warm-neutral, very well-tuned with impressive tech. Guaranteed to review this one. Preliminary rank A+

Faaeal Iris Ancestor: Bass-boosted neutral (a bit bassier than the 2.0), very well-tuned, it is a warmer Iris CE white and less fatigue but similar tech. Also, warmer than the 2.0 but worse tech. Preliminary rank A

Faaeal Iris CE Grey: Neutral, warmer than the white version but with better timbre, tech is similar. Preliminary rank A-

(Iris ranking, preliminary) 2.0 > Ancestor > CE grey > CE White

This one's super fun. It's like Mastodon with a twist. Rawk away the frustration :)

What an absolutely and most amazingly unique piece of music (regarding the first track 01 - Ddulden Dreams Beyond the Peak). I bought this track and have listened to it perhaps 30 plus times on repeat.
