Great point mate! Very logical and scientific, that’s how we progress and evolve. Not to simply rely on a localized set point, have multiple inputs to set course.One should judge basis what they hear and not basis some celebrity's impressions. He too is human and can have different views. Best way is to make a sound judgement by reading as many impressions and reviews one can, if they're unable to demo a set locally.
Glad that you are enjoying your set!
There you goWhats the specs of 360 that make it lower the bass? Asking because I don't want to buy them but I have loads of tips
Thanks mate. The reason why we have forums like this to collaborate with each other who have different perspectives and have better experience with our purchases. Not everyone can afford a blind buy.Great point mate! Very logical and scientific, that’s how we progress and evolve. Not to simply rely on a localized set point, have multiple inputs to set course.
Crinacle’s taste is Asian Profile: mid-bass is a detemining factor besides 3khz pinna gain.But his favorite IEMs all have elevated subbass to midbass, which usually isn't a problem if done competently (unlike here)
I think it is as you say, definitely sounds smoother on other iems and headphones. One more thing, on those songs it wasnt too offputting but on a song called 'Rabba main toh mar gaya oye' by Pritam, the man's voice sounds pretty grainy and at the 60 second mark, everything sounds pretty scratchy in the gk10 and is not so noticeable on other iems, almost invisible on my thieaudio legacy 3s, would that be a product of the iems' trebly nature combined with mixing? If anyone doesnt mind, let me know if you hear that in that spot too. Not many issues on other songs in my playlist, except some songs where the vocals seem slightly much on the low end and lowering 400hz area slightly helps a little bit for those songs (I'd rather not eq this set though, as I got the gk10 as a 'no fuss' set to just plug into wherever)I think it's also because of how these are songs are mixed. Both have very sharp vocals and instrumentation. Both are good songs but I think there's some inherent sharpness to these songs especially with gear where treble has a bit of air and sparkle.
Using SpinFit CP360 could solve that 400hz lowering issue. I also felt mid-bass was a bit too forward for some tracks.I think it is as you say, definitely sounds smoother on other iems and headphones.

But I like further tamed bass, and my solution is CP360. Which bring the bass floor to more neutral line.
The thing is most of the Bollywood music is made for folks who are going to listen on bass heavy treble dead earphones that cost less than $3. So the mixing basically compensates for that where they induce artificial details and clarity by playing with treble. For bass, yes, there's an obvious bias in the mix because for some reason Indians love bass. With a 10mm driver they expect bass of a tower speaker. Bass that rattles their teeth and can be felt in their hearts, so songs are very much produced by keeping that in mind.I think it is as you say, definitely sounds smoother on other iems and headphones.

I gotta say, I don't think he got a good fit. He complains about the cable pulling them out of his ears; all you have to do is turn it around the other way, so it's looping behind the wide end instead of over the bud itself.Absolutely. He has his preferences and others have theirs. And, his contribution to the community is very important. It's not his fault that folks take his word like gospel. He's just sharing his opinions which is very much in his rights.
