Sounds like what I would like, even straight out of the box . Burning in now.
Coming from Sony N3 and final e4000.

Many thanks to all the reviewers in this thread. I purchased the H40 based on the positive reviews and impressions. The H40 is my first over $100 IEM and I couldn't be happier with these.
I've been wondering about upgrading the cables. I'm especially interested in getting either the ISN SC4 or AG8 to pair with these. I'm hoping someone can help with a quick direct comparison between these two cables.
The H40 will be my only IEM for the next few years, so I don't mind paying for good cable upgrade.
Not surprisedDsnuts talks about cables
Thanks for the feedback, balanced likey won't be a option though. My source will be direct from a phone (lg g8, 3.5mm).
I'll try the SC4. The H40 has already been a huge jump from my regular earphones.
I can give you a good idea of the Blessing 2 vs the H40. Blessing 2 I guarantee is an upgrade vs the Starfield. However it is not an upgrade over the H40. More like a side grade.
If you gave a person a set of H40 and a Blessing2. I am willing to bet you some might like the H40 better some might like the Blessing2 better. H40 has the more dynamic bass presentation. A touch more treble sparkle and presence. The Blessing2 is a very safe sounding iem. No obvious stand out parts to the sound. Good wide stage and has very good mids but otherwise SQ wise it is a toss up.
I got a message from a headfi member that told me the same thing. He thought the Blessing 2 was bit of a let down because it didn't do anything really better than the H40. I like em both but why not save the $115 or so and get a H40 instead. Plus I know for a fact the H40 scales better to cable upgrades. Blessing 2 is a bit more picky. Blessing 2 has the better isolation however but that is really about it.
Actually if your gonna compare price points. You can get a H40 and the ISN SC4 silver cable. Will give the edge to the H40 for the same cost of a Blessing2.
Having tried the Blessing 2 too, the H40 is just superior to it imo.I can give you a good idea of the Blessing 2 vs the H40. Blessing 2 I guarantee is an upgrade vs the Starfield. However it is not an upgrade over the H40. More like a side grade.

How is the pairing with the Kimber?I have the Blessing coming tomorrow and will give my take as well. Not blessing 2 though.
brought H40 to work with me today. Paired with the Sony Kimber Kable.
