For sure buddy
Crinacle, or Precog, Or Animus, they know nothing about what a good sounding iem is, only you do.
They just express their subjective opinion as we all do.For sure buddy

So in the grand scheme no they don't , the same as I don't...

I don't deal with trollsFor sure buddy

It's all about preferences. I don't like a lot of IEMs that they often recommend. No one is an authority here, no matter how many IEMs you have heard or reviewed.For sure buddy

Agree again. Me too, I have the same experience. Graphs are used for analytical purposes, which I use in other "department" related with my job. For music, don't believe so. There are so many subjective "points" here that graphs, imo, will be pointless!
If the Blessing 2 Dusk is any indicator I'd be inclined to agree with this. Those guys are so far off the mark most of the time relative to my own impressions that I don't even pay attention to what they write any more. YMMV, and all that.
The Dorado is many things but muddy is most certainly not one of them...in fact one of the remarkable things about it is that it completely avoids sounding muddy or congested despite how much bass there is.
The IE900 is definitely on my radar and it may be my "summer present" to myself at which point I'll be able to do the aforementioned comparison.

Well
So, with that in mind, I think you would be doing a great community service to add your impressions to the collective gestalt, so people can look at them right alongside Crinacle, Precog, or Animus’ reviews, and others, to get an idea of the range of experiences people have.
Does that make sense? For example, If some people say they perceive a lot of bass and some people say they perceive a natural amount of bass, then it’s likely that the experience of most others will fall within that range. You don’t even need to take an average, it really is a range of possible experiences. If everyone says that the bass is tight and detailed, then the range of experiences is pretty focused and most people will continue to find the same.
Oh, and when you do write your impressions (even if it’s not a big formal review, though personally I always love it when people describe their reaction to specific songs, I discover more cool songs that way!), post it on the Head-Gear item page to make it easy to find and save for posterity!

Well, it takes a certain kind of bravery to put your hearing impressions out into the public world. Due to the variety of ear physiology and personal preferences, it’s certain some people will agree and disagree with any impression.

I don't begrudge anyone the right or privilege to share their own impressions of gear-- it's the wealth of impressions on sites like this that, among other things, make coming here so valuable. Where I draw the line is when the impressions of others are held up as gospel and thrust in my face as though they somehow have more weight than what my own ears tell me. Every one of us has the right and ability to judge things for ourselves, even if some chose to delegate this task to others..
Although one can argue that if you find a lot of things muddy and like a lot of upper midrange lift and needs music be shouted at you, your hearing isn't that good. Lol.
Not saying it's necessarily true , don't come after me.

Absolutely; the more I learn, the more I believe and accept that humanity perceives the world a little bit differently.
Precog and Animus "reviews" make me assume that they are 90 years old with a upper hearing limit of 8khz.
In addition to differing musical tastes I think some people legitimately are more/less sensitive to different regions of the FR. For some the Dusk has ‘class leading tonality’, whereas some of us find it shouty and often wince inducing. YMMV. We need to stop pretending there is some objective standard that applies to everyone.
I need to bookmark this post for all the music discoveries! I don’t think I’ve heard of ANY of those before
Thank you very much
