Wow, you must have some very sophisticated measuring equipment!
Lmao. I thought it might give a better idea than 'a little' 'some' and 'a fair amount' haha

I wonder how "treble sensitive" is still a thing, when most of the fatigue, discomfort (sibilance and ****) lies arround the 2k-5k region which is know as upper midrange for the most part.
True but some people don't like emphasis from 8-12khz either, but that is more of a preference I guess. Some like that smoothed effect on the highs but still want clear mids with full details which you won't get if 2-5khz is dipped too much.

@seanc6441 is generously rounded it off. if he is true to his calculations, then it would be 10,543% more sub bass and 15,282% less treble and like 20,471% more smoothed out :beyersmile::beyersmile:

That could be arguable since our ears naturally boost the 2-4k hz, much of that could be overkill but thats up to preference of course

So, I wanted to ask your opinion. So far, compared to the vast collection of buds you have, how would you rate the SL 1.0+? I had my eye on a few from your collection, but curious if they would really be a step up from the SL 1.0+, or just more of the same (or worse).

That is a difficult question for me to answer. I like all my buds. Some fit me better than others. Loving the SL 1.0+ but I would have a hard time ranking what I have. Which of my others have you been thinking about?

I'd been looking at the HE 150Pro, DIY Graphene, Qian69, RY4S UE, and VE Monk Lite SPC 120 ohm. Also had thought about the Panda PK2s and GM500 (150 ohm).

I do like the Snow Lotus 1.0+ more than any of those because I like a relaxing addictive sound. However the RY4S UE also sounds great in a different way...and it is not expensive. Get it.

edit @RevPizzaguy I should add that I do like all of those that I have. You would probably not be disappointed in any of them. I am sure if I go back to anyone of them I will totally enjoy my music:) Most of the others in my list as well. I have great music and some very capable sources.

BTW, my graphene is the "new" less expensive one.. not the original "old" one that got most of the praise so I can't comment on that.

I don't have those.

I asked Blox about choosing between TM9 or their new YIN earbud for classical music.
we only use new driver for YIN, the rest(cable, jack are the same)

Yin give a better clarity and detailed while still smooth.
faster speed and more weight of impact, sound stage is similar.
so over all they are more engaging.

Both are good for classical musics if you like a laid back sound then you
can go with the TM9 but if you like more engaging and topnotch clarity
then you can go with the YIN.
over all YIN hold a better technical
I'm going to order a YIN.

I found these. They probably came with my S7 Edge, and I just threw them in my bud-box:

I'm either drunk, crazy, or both, but with a bit of bass boost, they are sounding pretty good to me! And, they are pretty comfortable.

That's it - I'm selling off all of my gear!

Yes they came with S6 and S7 phones, not sure about the sound but they were comfortable. My wife still uses it.
