Hi guys, newbie here in need of your advice.
Im planning to upgrade from my FAD Sonorous VI (Pandora Hope VI) and Elear is one of the contender.
Someone is selling Elear for just around $550 at my place and the review seems great. Problem with me is, I'm a slight basshead.
Pandora Hope VI has an ethereal mids and sparkling hights (in fact it can be too bright for me). The bass is just nice; very nice natural decay, not too deep, not too punchy, and not the fastest but still lacking that 'ooommphh' factor im looking for. FAD being a closed-can helps a bit.
Long story short, FAD bass is very clean but it needs more juice.
So I was wondering, how's the bass on Elear? Is the bass impact good enough? Is it punchier than FAD?
If I could find a bass that is slightly 'boomier' & 'punchier' (idk if its a subbass or mid bass) than FAD then it's perfect!
Idk if I should stick to a closed can since im a slight basshead. I had ATH MSR7 before and I love the punchy bass albeit with a small soundstage.
Im pairing it with my ifi micro idsd BL so the Xbass button was really good.
Sony Z1R is my end game (I fell in love with the bass) but for a price of $2k it's out of the equation for now.
