B&O EQ, Nuratrue, Klipsch T5 II ANC McLaren, or as of today, the Shure Aonic 215 Gen 2. They fixed all the bad things about the previous version. So much that stupid me just dropped the cash to upgrade the IEMs on them to the SE846s. Ugh.

May the force be with you.

Thank you my friend I think I'll buy all 4. Two questions:
1. I've been reading about some bugs / firmware issues for the B&O's. Do you know if they're resolved or should I wait a bit for buying?
2. Would the Shure sound good with the included earphones? I already have my Lola's connected to the UTSW3 adapters and might buy a high end of IEMs here in a few months.

Thanks again

My first pair of EQs had a strange pop sound on certain tracks but only in the left bud. I returned them and got a new set Friday. No issues so far. I truly do love them.

The Shures sound great with the included SE215s but now you can EQ them which makes them sound even better. That said, I ordered the SE846 which have 4 drivers. They should be here today and I'll post some observations. I had the last gen Fiio adapter and the Shure app really makes a difference. I don't know if many IEMs will fit the Shure adapters like they do the UTSW3s and the like. Hit or miss.

Can someone please give me some advice on EQ settings for the MW08s? I'm no expert when it comes to using EQ settings. I find the MW08s a little overwhelming on the bass. I listen to mostly hard rock and metal. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

The MW08 have an elevated bass hump between 50 and roughly 500 hz, so I would in your case try to lower the 63, 125, 250 sliders a bit (2 or 4db maybe) and see how you like it or what works best for you. I really like their elevated bass even though I would welcome an EQ in the M&D app as well. I think on the go (which is what they are primarily designed for) an elevated bass region helps the sound as the bass easily gets lost a bit otherwise. At home though, it might be a bit too much bass for some, I can see that.

I think I’ll grab the Klipsch first. I used to have some giant speakers over 20 years ago and man those things were awesome.

amazon has them listed at $271 but out of stock. I have to question that price since Crutchfield and Klipsch have them listed at $379

Ah bummer. $271 is a great price. Amazon does that sometimes. I think Klipsch raised all their prices by 10% recently. I paid $349 for mine on Crutchfield when they first came out.

Yep, same thing without the charging pad and the cosmetics. Also has their 30 day return policy. They are probably one of the sellers of them on Amazon as well.

I'm usually listening with ANC, and I think that already has an applied V-shaped profile, so I just leave the actual EQ at flat. If Devialet ever adds the ability to go neutral with controls I might try messing around with it, but for now I only EQ my brain.

I’ve been listening with ANC off in the house, mostly so I have a better chance of hearing my wife trying to get my attention; but since I don’t hear her in either case, I think I’ll try flat EQ with ANC on for a little while, thanks. Wonder which eats up more battery, ANC vs boosted EQ

Interesting new product from Ifi - looking forward to feedback on functionality and reliability. Price is $200.

Nice! I’m guessing the McLaren is superior to the standard model though right? Not just a cool name?

Cosmetically it’s different. The sound should be the same. They are just spiffier looking and come with a charging pad along with a different case

Have just ordered Nuraphone.

After listening to Nuraloop I'm sold. This is one of the best IEMs (including wired) I've heard.

Wow that looks like a handsome and capable BT dongle…!

 

[nekonhime]

So which sound better between the nuratrue and the klipsch T5II anc?

 

[erockg]

I think they're the same buds, different color scheme. The case is much lighter than the standard and is carbon fiber with a cool tire tread. Plus, you get a nice dual Qi charging pad that I actually used every day. Depends on what you're willing to spend. I like the case better for the McLaren personally.
