Japanese Brand IEM Thread

[mochill]

Hiya @mochill good to see you !
Well all I found so far was the stuff listed at their site, there are only 6 reviews so far but I will post ( used IMTranslator ) what makes a lot of sense from 2 of the reviews as far as their tuning.
I'll keep looking, as I do very much trust Kakaku.com reviews in Japan also ( hit 4th tab below listing for reviews of things )

" Perhaps because it uses the same voice coil as the HF1+, the dullness in the high range (8 to 10kHz or more) is reduced compared to the HF1 original, resulting in a solid tone, and the overall resolution has been improved.
...not a completely compatible model for the HF1 original. As someone who likes the neat and well-balanced sound of the HF1+, this was a much better impression on me, but if you like the mild high range of the HF1 Muji, you might be a little disappointed. If you like low frequencies, don't worry. "

so a less mild highs , should sound like HF1+ highs but with lows like original model it seems.

and

" it was a perfection that exceeded trust. The resolution is very high. As a result, even if each sound overlaps in a thick way, it won't get buried. In particular, the sexy vocals are irresistible. "

Kinda seems like an deal combo of both models?
I'll be trying them as soon as I can.
What I like about them is they are using all Japanese wire too.
( BTW slightly off topic ...have a peek at their upcoming fullsized washi paper driver headphone = blend of fine pulp and Mitsumata. )

I do like bass

@BX700 new Ashida release seems to be a combination of the two as far as I can tell.
Details of the EA-HF1+ model and apparently low end similar to the original EA-HF1 ... ( using EA-HF1+ now as I type )

Tempting stuff.

Nice - I'd buy these blind because of the first two releases; will ASAP. Deciphering Google Translated descriptions is always tricky but I'll try it too.

Ordered these, might be a bit before I ship stuff from the Japanese warehouse over though.

@BX700 did you think about getting the new Ashidavox IEMS yet.
So far so good I had them on during first listen all night.
Really quite something how well they present some layering.
Very happy with these.
If I were to grab one of the 3 versions to listen to, as of now these would be it.
*so far* they do seem to combine the best of each of the first two releases.
Impressions ongoing however.


oh just doing some geek - out research I see their voice coils are made by Daikoku Electric Wire Co., Ltd..
This place developed a new stronger thinner wire in 2019, wonder if that was used here and on the + release...

From website ( https://www.daikokudensen.co.jp/en/ ) =
" New Line "DEX" of High Tension Wire Series Birth!
It`s extremely high level of conductivity & strength has never been achieved in the fine wire industry,
so that it would contribute to improve performance of electro devices such as higher output with smaller scale. "

Who knows unless we ask Ashida themselves.
Anyhow just something fun.


==== the cable is great also I feel it HAS to come from Hisago Denzai,
as the build of it is very similar to the one that came on their new Washi Paper drivered HA-SX12/HD-W/K model
The unique angled molded area of the plug especially.
