Precogs graph looks like a vent is blocked or something. That bass is dominant on his set which I am not hearing on mine. Looks like a basshead IEM Lol. Strange in deed.
Yea if someone try to use taping-vent mod, it will sound exactly like that FR chart. Bass will lose air and become muddy, the staging disappears right away too
Ya me too. I have expressed my concerns with Penon as they will relay the message to Geek folks. I hope they tighten up on that QC. I get that they are frantically making these to fill orders. I bet they weren't expecting just how many orders they got.
Just read precog’s impression note, i feel he gave impression at too early stage with vent holes covered, the bass dominant he described is what I mentioned at very first line of my out of impression comment, which is 0.1% of very early stage.
Yea precog’s FR tells his impression is in accord with that chart, something is wrong there probably vent hole is covered and DD driver units are still at right out of the box stage. It changes with just few hours of little burn-in.
25db gap of dominant bass is a nightmare, I had same problem with KBEAR KS1, bass dominant V-shape was the unit on my KS1.
He doesnt seem to be a burn in type of person so take that for what it is.
There is no way his set should have bass that dominant though even out of the box. My set wasn't great out of the box as well.
If I based my sound assessment out of the box on all my earphones. I would say 95% of them would all suck to be honest.
Come to think of it the only earphone all this year that didn't suck out of the box was the recent Yanyin Aladdin I recently got.
Heck I remember listening to the Solaris the first time out of the box. I thought I got hornswaggled. Sounded nothing like how they were described. Bass was anemic no way was that a $1500 earphone was my thought. Lol.
