Thanks for all your input. I bought the RN6 because after reading all the reviews my guess is it would be a bit smoother and the bigger soundstage pulled me in. And I do really like it, using it with the black module.
But…… looking into the XE6 also, and the Volur. Because the itch never stops

That shoulda been your first stop with those genres
Rn6 is great with those genres, but I reckon Xe6 is on another level entirely. If you said you listen to more classical, folk/acoustic, singer songwriter type stuff, then you might stick with the Rn6, but with the more bassy stuff you mention, Xe6 is a clear winner for it's thicker, punchier and more dynamic presence in the middle of the stage. imho, of course

Definitely worth owning both. I find them very different.Thanks for all your input. I bought the RN6 because after reading all the reviews my guess is it would be a bit smoother and the bigger soundstage pulled me in. And I do really like it, using it with the black module.

You mean the RN6 and the XE6? Or the Volur?

Sorry I meant Rn6 and Xe6. Volur is a respectable IEM, I'd say it sits somewhere between the Rn6 and Xe6 as far as tuning, but personally it doesn't impress me as much as the Rn6 or Xe6. Rn6 and/or Xe6 over Volur is an easy choice for me.

EA is supposedly coming out with an upgraded Code 23. Stay tunedI need a Code 23 or DHC Clone Fusion
Does anyone have any idea what the difference is between the Fir Audio VAC and VAC PRO? Except of course that the latter costs 100 USD more?
Pro has aluminum casing and +11 flow rate (better motor than non Pro) which would seem to move more air per minute which would equate to a deeper clean.
