a new challenger appeared. 1DD + 4BA at the same price range, gotta see what shozy is bringing to the table.

I saw this on Penon the other day, but disappointed the photos did not show the stem of the iem.

Therium. The Silvergarde is a bit much right now

Fair enough

someone based in china posted his new arrived shozy 1.4 few days back in chiese iem thread. Haven't find any review about them though

Lightning fast delivery from Penon, 3 days!!

Ugh the box is so ugly looks like cheapo chinese toys back in 80s. They need to improve this.

Impressions later!

Very interested on this one, I wonder how much of a fight can it put up against this heavily contested price range

This is every ISN cable or IEM you get the same packaging. BUT the benefit of this simple packaging is. You get some crazy value in the items themselves. I kinda like this minimalist simple packaging approach. I mean who carries around their package when listening to music. Unless your Michael.

I love their larger zip up rectangular case they throw in as it is large enough to carry your phones and cables. I think more elaborate packaging = more money we gotta spend. For me I don't mind.

Just listen to those things and tell me you didn't get your monies worth.

on the other hand, this is the ier-m7 packaging. They're very good for what I paid, but totally not worth it at full retail.

Just started reading about these and i'm intrigued...
I think @davescleveland mentioned that the H40 blows the IMR RAH out of the water so that got me in this thread

Looks like I have some catching up to do in this thread.

If I may since I have both the Rah and the H40... those are 2 quite different IEMs, for starter one is closed the other is semi open. This means the H40 naturally has more impact down low (yeah hard to believe since the Rah has fantastic impact but it's more note density than power there) but also fuller bodied mids. The Rah has the typical advantage of a semi open design with a bigger soundstage and a more precise imaging as well as superior layering. It also happens to be more extended up top and more open sounding by way of its extension also more resolving.

So it's not a matter of one blowing the other out of the water
(it almost never is, really)

Definitely!

Definitely!

I can see myself packing an entire luggage just for IEMs/cables/DAP

Better extension up top? Rah has no extension up top. The h40 has better soundstage and imaging. Nope blows it out of the water.

 

[davescleveland]

I find quite the opposite. The rah extends lower but has no treble presence. The h40 extends deep but not as deep. Imaging is better on the h40 to me. When I listen to the rah after it sounds veiled and muffled up top. I do like the rah, I like the aten more, but the h40 just does everything well here as the rah is just bass and mids
