To early to say as I was using DM6 for almost a year and that became my reference sound. But overall bass quantity is slightly more on DM6 but it's more accurate on OH10, mids are thicker on DM6 but sweet on OH10, highs are non sibilant and dry on OH10, soundstage has more depth on DM6 and more width on OH10. When I was listening to OH10 for 10-15 mins and changed it to DM6 I found DM6 to be sibilant instantly. Overall OH10 is more natural sounding and suits my preferred sound.

Good to hear you're finding it non-sibilant. I found it a bit harsh initially, but after the dynamic driver has some time on it things mellowed out some. Also I switched to a copper cable by PWaudio... and that helped give some added smoothness.

It's a snug fit. They are shorter than DM6 but still they flush into your ears. Given tips are the best fits for me and they sound better than almost all the tips I've tried so far. I'm using the Grey tips.

Tips are definitely important with the OH10. I settled on old style UE900 single flange silicones. They really let the highs shimmer with detail and presence. Make sure you exhaust all tip options you havee -- try everything. It can be very worth the effort!

These sound perfect out of the phone, unlike the P1 that I had to get "the perfect tip" and bass boost with my Fiio Q1mk2.

OH10 have better bass extension and bass detail than the P1(even with bass boost). The P1 is forward and clear, I can get the volume louder without feeling that is too much, on the OH10 if you get too loud, the Bass will eventually be too much on bass heavy music.

I also ordered the Shuoer Tape to see if I get that clear sound of the P1 along with better bass, maybe it will be a better contender to the OH10. The other IEM I have is the Shure's SE215, 425 and 535, and I have to tell that none of them comes close to these Chi-Fi's...

Very interested in a comparison of the Shuoer Tape vs OH10.

OH-10 gets far better physicality in the bass imo, but mid-wise FA7 sound smoother with greater clarity. Trebles in OH-10 are aggressive with pretty massive headroom compared to FA7 which is pretty balanced. I would personally take a FA7 as a whole due to preference, but if I am to use one for a short time spans of listening (10-20mins), then I would go for the OH-10.

I ended up with both. I tend to agree , FA7 are very smooth and can be easily listened to for hours. However, I have used OH10s for a while now and its either brain or dynamic driver burn in, but I can listen to them for just as long as FA7s. I would say they are comparable in highs and lows to the denons ahd5000, but with a less pronounced mids.

I also bought the foam tips from Ikko, highly recommend them.

My initial thought on the OH10 was that there was too much bass, but after a few days I think I changed my mind too, going back to the P1 with a bass boost felt like the P1 was boomy in comparation.
