I see you have the Shozy SG, is it similar in sound to the BK or Cygnus?

another beast, the most detailed, with a great middle, but not as much bass as BK. But for vocals, I prefer them in my forehead time of all Shozy

Is the EMX500 still the king of the budget?

Well, I'm not a big fan of earbuds, the fit, the fiddling to get the sound right, just not my cup of tea. BUT, got a surprise from Wild Lee. Actually received some masks from him (he is offering free masks with every VE order), and he also included VE Sun Dice for me to check it out.



Maybe I'm a noob when it comes to earbuds, only have Monk and Zen, but how is it possible for a pair of earbuds with a single DD to sound that good?!? Wide soundstage and a naturally balanced sound sig with a clarity, transparency, resolution, and layering I’m used to hearing from higher end IEMs; and with the right fit and selection of cover pads (using the sponge pad without a donut hole) the bass is there, a little north of neutral and quite articulate. I’m not a big fan of earbuds, but have to make an exception here. Btw, also got BIE mmcx, but didn't get to it yet. Still fascinated with Sun Dice. And apparently they also have Sun Copper version too?

Waiting for a review from you

Hopefully soon, and will probably get a chance to compare it to Copper edition as well

So I burned in the Final E2000 iems and the bass has tightened up some. Detail is decent for female vocals, and soundstage is good for an iem. Bass is still too elevated and male vocals/cellos are not placed properly in front. Its not really a veil, it just feels like that part of the midrange is further back than it should be. For iems, they are the most comfortable both for their size and the fact they are ported in the back--reducing isolation but also reduces the underwater breathing effect I hate. Definitely worth $40, and will be good for sleeping but they do not compare to my Shozy BKs in any way but bass slam--even though there is a huge price disparity.


Will lurk more to see how those smabat s10 sound as I look to find a BK successor with detachable cables.

Crossposting from EA but: Anyone here know where I can procure some rings for the Sony MDR-E434, or ones that provide an equivalent fit? Vintage buds I lost the original rings for, and they help with the fit - anything that would fit the earbud diameter will do, thanks

Thanks mate. Which are best for multi genre listening? Wow they are so much cheaper than iems

 

[Promenadeplatz]

Is the gap in terms of purely SQ between those Smabat ST-10 and a similar priced IEM really noticeable?

forgot about Turandot from JimNiceHCK
