Looks like he would make a top contestent for the air guitar competition. She on the other hand is thinking: there's just too much air between the midrange and bass.And some more cute puppy GIFs
I bought only "cheap" stuff for BF : the AAW Q was at like 80 S$ instead of 299 and the Jays Q Jays at 50% off (for my mom).

Suggesting the ECZD is hardly evil, it's brilliant!
Eagle is going spiraling down the rabbit hole. I wish I could help, but I don't know much about DAC/Amp.
Gave me a good chuckle hahaSomehow I feel this also applies to the balancing powers of @Wyville vs. @Mimouille on the thread.
Oh, such a wonderful place for people to come together!
I've been around for so long I can barely tolerate these people sometimesSo many nice iems to choose from, must consider all the options
Seriously, how often must I tell these people to get a 5-Way and get it over withWhat wonderful cable impressions, thanks for sharing
Ah good, more idiot manufacturers trying to fool idiot people out of their moneyI will post some puppy gifs to share some warm and cozy feelings
I will ruin the child-like innocence of these gifs, hehe
But these are my cutest GIFs, the other ones includes two dogs and a cupSomehow I feel this also applies to the balancing powers of @Wyville vs. @Mimouille on the thread.

Before pulling the trigger on Zeus-XR, I once again demoed the QDC Gemini as it is one of the iem that catches my attention. Comming from the Andromeda, I was looking for a custom that has more bass but retains the thin and bright female vocals. QDC Gemini and Tia Fourte are the only two iem that I think has achieved this requirement. One of the greatest plus for QDC Gemini is the switch. With a flick of a switch, mid bass and sub bass is boosted significantly. Very noticeable even you are hearing it for the first time or scrolling through facebook and doing other stuff, compared to the switch on the Zeus-XR, untrained ears may not be able to pick up the change immediately if you are hearing it for the first time on the ZeusXR. Gemini seems to gives more mid-bass than Andromeda, which gives the bass more weight and body. For the treble, Gemini has just enough amount of it to retain a sparkle top, I think the decay of the treble and cymbals instrument is slightly faster than Andromeda. I think this is due to the TEAC high BA driver in the Andromeda that is slightly similar to the idea of the Tia high BA driver in the Fourte. It allows the highs travel freely instead of containing them within tubes. The decay of cymbals instrument in the Fourte last the longest, among Gemini and Andromeda.
Switching back to Zeus-XR from Gemini to confirm my decision, I immediately hear more detail and resolution from the Zeus-XR. I would describe Zeus-XR vs Gemini as
Zeus - Back to business
Gemini - Fun and playful
I would recommend the Gemini over the Andromeda due to the switch that makes Gemini much more versatile and covers a larger range of music. It is very easy to love and the change to sound signature provided by the switch is very noticeable. To the shape of my ears, the fit of the Gemini is significantly better than the Andromeda, it has better seal and sound isolation. No sharp corners is also a plus.
Listening on SP1000SS for all 3
How much of a difference the switch makes on the XR is actually determined by source. I’ve tried several sources with my Zeus, and the difference ranges between not-much-at-all to night-and-day. But, I do agree that the Gemini is a great musical IEM.
