I prefer the red/blue personally as it gives a more vibrant feel.

Hi @audio123,

Red Blue for me as I like good colour when available, not to mention easy to pick up at a glance to put on correctly without too much thought or examination.

By the way, read your blog from time to time, nice work...

Hope you have a great day!

No problem.

Just changed out ibasso cable to a balanced pure copper ( with Opus 1). All I can say is.. wow. Sound stage and depth much greater. Treble is more articulate, and bass goes deeper with rumble. Sounds like a completely different IEM (for the better). Highly recommended.

Did you notice any difference in the mids, especially vocals? As I was going to return these back due the behind and thin sounding voices

I did notice the vocals becoming more forward. Everything sounds 'thicker' than the stock cable. In general, this is not a strong mid-centric earphone, IMO..but there is improvement in the mids.

I may give the cable a try before returning these back. I'm not after mid-centric, I just need more then average bass with forward vocals and average highs that don't sound too soft to the point of sounding dark. Can you recommend me a place where I can get the cable cheap?

I found mine on Amazon (USA).. searched 'mmx earphone cable'..about $40 with shipping.

I searched but there are soo many, could you give me the name of the cable please? Also, I only have my phone as a source, have you tried using the cables on your phone to see if it still makes a difference?

Do you have a balanced source? The Opus has both a regular 3.5mm output and a balanced output. It is my only balanced source so I have not bothered to get any balanced cables. I am not going to go down that rabbit hole I am satisfied with what I have.

Haha yes I feel you, sound like a very costly addiction. I don't have a balanced source and I figured it will be best to just find the iem that suits me instead.

Probably due to the fact that Balanced output gives you more power, but I doubt that it could give you a full upgrade over the entire frequency response and make it sound like a completely different IEM tbh.....

Why? Because he feels like the mid is thin and recessed?

 

[Ders Olmaz]

me and three people listen the anime of he mention. and i listen lots of trailer and tube videos i have nothing he mention about. if he try on different sources and stil same i think the iem is not the we use
