Yincrow rw-2000 has arrived.
Impressions after 8 hours of burn-in.

Sound Sig:
Harmonious high resolution sound.
The bass has weight, and the mid-high range has a sense of transparency.
A wide and airy sound stage.
Impressive female vocal.
It's a bit like the sound of Moondrop Chaconne.

Good point:
The 15mm driver can be used by people with small ears.
Bad points:
I negotiated and bought it for $ 135, but now it is sold for $ 133.

Is the bass similar to the X6?

Yes, the bass is similar to the X6.

 

[RikudouGoku]

Yes, the bass is similar to the X6.

NICE!

Is the timbre and tonality very natural as well (like the X6)? Since my other buds with similar bass to the X6 have all sacrificed their timbre,tonality, mids and treble for it (Turandot, HE150pro).

If I like the RW-9, I might go for the RW-1000 or RW-2000.

Is it brighter than the X6? Do you have the RW1000 to compare with?

The X6 is darker than rw-2000.
Sorry, I don't have rw-1000.

Do you have the nicehck diy MX500? Is it brighter than that one?

Sorry, I don't have the nicehck diy MX500.
If I compare rw-2000 to the Fengru diy EMX500 instead, the rw-2000 is brighter, or rather clearer.

Can you check the O.D. with your calipers? Thanks.

Yet I have a grip on what you're trying to achieve with targets. The unknown in our case is not what we should have at the eardrum (this is already well established) but what we should measure on the rigs we have available. If we had fixtures like 43AG we could directly use the harman target as is.

Before getting exposed into the world of buds, I really thought measurements and their impact on user-perceived sound would see "end game" conclusions as we see more and more gras measurements (including crin getting his 43ag-7.) But the reality is there's always the inescapable user variable dependent on ear anatomy.

I agree we are getting closer to ear drum accuracy and we are starting to see consolidated opinions as to what sounds good (generally) with iems and headphones. But with earbuds, there's a disturbing lack of regard for the format. Someone on another thread mention bringing up earbuds at a headphone meetup only to be summarily dismissed.

Btw I know this isnt an earbud but I can still recommend it to bud users.
The Koss KSC75, I just finished my review on it and it sounds amazing for acoustic music.

(comparison with the NiceHCK DIY MX500 is in the review.)

I picked up a Shini q140 awhile back for something like $1.96 and shipping was $1.05 to the US. Opened my eyes to the format.

Congrats! I just received the RW-1000 bass version. Really enjoying it so far. Similar impressions to yours. Enjoy

Yeah, I knew about that one. Sadly with how import fees in Sweden works, the cost would be around 10 usd in total for that one so I went straight for the KSC75 instead.

wow, that's borderline criminal. I need to stay away from these cause then I'll have more to obsess about. Earbuds and iems keep me occupied plenty.

hmmm.... now I'm really curious as to how the sound is different between the rw1000 and rw2000.
