Headphoneus Supremus
Well said…agreed.Supreme Mk2 which isn’t a surprise given it’s a single magnetostatic driver. Paired with Lucifer, the most smooth and organic sound I’ve heard at expense of dynamics.

I would have tried the Orpheus but I was too worried about the QDC connectors messing with the pins
Apart from DDs, the all BA classic VE5 I think presents itself very coherent and at the same time musically with its smooth mids and luscious vocals. It has less bass than VE8 though, but more solid and coherent in the mids in my opinion. Another newer one I think can be awarded to the Softears RS10, as it manages to blend technicalities and coherent tonality really well with its reference house sound (somewhat targeting a particular neutral curve, that sounded just right-center to my ears, neither too warm nor cold)It’s maybe a good discussion point - apart from DDs, which IEMs come close to the Traillii in terms of coherency?

Gotta agree with this too. Listening to Supreme Mk2 as we speak. It would have to be one of the most coherent sounding IEM’s I’ve heard. It’s also one of the flattest/balanced tunings I’ve experienced. Top and bottom extension is rolled off slightly, giving way to the mids to shine through in a near-perfect balance between lower and upper mids. Dynamics do take a hit though. But in some ways I feel that this is more “true to the music dynamics” rather than transducer tuned colouration. If the track is mastered with proper dynamic swings, the Supreme will render it. It may not sound as dramatic as other IEM’s that are considered more dynamic, but the supreme sounds more realistic IMO.Well said…agreed.

I am super impressed with Supreme Mk2. It’s one of the most natural and life-like sounding IEM’s I’ve ever heard. It’s not going to blow anyone away on technical ability, but damn it’s a nice IEM to listen to! It needs a LOT of juice though. More than any IEM I’ve used before. Using my Kann Alpha in high gain which is like 4,000mW on 45 volume. That’s not far off the volume I used to drive my Diana Phi with
Hahaha(goes and looks up the price).........HOW MUCH!?!?!?!?!
My guess, it is the overall timbre that you like. Your mind is at ease and you enjoy the music and the extra details that you hear. Tks.I am not sure that’s it I legit don’t know haha. It’s like one of those things for me that I just can’t explain why but I know when I listen if it’s present or not

Not sure I could disagree more. Is it interesting that Headphones.com does not sell Oriolus, or is that a coincidence? To each his own.Well, here is someone who does not think the bird flies as sky high ....
