The Aroma Jewel kills the Eclipse in technicalities (soundstage, clarity, instrument separation, micro-detailing, imaging), and it is not a close fight.

Not the first time I've read about the
CanJam instance; I will not judge,
I was not at the exhibition, but half
a dozen reviews with depressing
(superficial?) impressions, apparently,
indicate a defective pair or missing the
source; as for me I didn’t connect my
new IEM, taken out of the box, to the
stock cable at all (moreover, I sold for
the hell of it) - I'm amazed how it plays
with a great copper conductor! AJ as
far as known has a sluggish bass &
restrained upper-mid that's a deal-
breaker

Hello guys! I suddenly had a subject
here - some of the owners of Eclipse (you,
@Scuba Devils , perhaps, in the first place)
compared at least from memory with the
Aroma Jewel ? in presence (4.5-6 kHz)
they are too similar...

Back when I was looking at the Eclipse, I used the pen tool in Affinity Designer to superimpose Twister6's curve into a graph that follows the IEF Neutral/Crinacle curve. It's locked to 1000Hz. It's probably not at all accurate but I do think it is a pretty good approximation of what I hear.

I used the Technics TZ700 as a nice reference comparison.

Thx but I can't say anything about Technics,
because I'm out of the experience of
listening to them, and even more so, owning
them; having learned about the TZ700 from
David's post, I tried to find them for a long time
from someone to purchase, but then they fell
out of the focus of my search due to their low
prevalence; honestly, I just like MA as a worthy
example of 2DD - I'll be looking forward to the
release of Singularity ONI, or maybe I'll be lucky
someday to find Dita Perpetua on classifieds

 

[Ruprit]

Sure thing.

This was made when I owned the TZ700, so I used them as a familiar reference. Probably not the best for sharing since they're kind of underdogs

Would be interesting a comparison with Madoo typ512

Here you go.

Edit: I've not heard of the Madoo typ512, looks interesting.

Edit 2: Oh wow, a 1dd + Planar combo!

 

[Xinlisupreme]

Yes Typ512 looks very interesting but 8Khz peak scary me a bit

Yeah, I'm reading user reviews on e-earphone and there was a mention of it being a bit sharp. But I'm using Google translate so I'm probably missing context. Most impressions say that is a bass heavy, dark sound. Like you said though, that 8k peak. That's like textbook planar and enough for me to be wary.

Plus planars timbre didn’t impress me, last one I had for a long time was Szalayi that sounds good but isn’t the best tonal/timbre performance I ever heard and for that reason I avoid others hybrid with planar.
Maybe I’d join eclipse club or chose Mezzo

 

[Ruprit]

I'll always recommend the Eclipse. But I also am aware that not everyone is after an analog sound with a touch of warmth. I find it perfect for electronic music and haven't complained with Pop, Metal, and Jazz. The graph also betrays the impact and extension of the bass, not unlike the Szalayi.

Hallo ! First post here.

I have had the 512 for a few months now and listen daily...its never peaky / shouty. I preferred the upper mid - highs to softears twilight where 512 felt smoother and more detailed. 512 is definitely on the darker/warmer side and a bit heavy on bass. But the bass has good texture and speed. I had the luxury of listening to a few IEMs in its price range, and 512 was the one I felt was the most refined.

Quite interesting! Maybe do you have a
graph of Typ711? My friend's purchase,
he has a great expectation on them —
Twilight not exactly his type, cup of tea

T711 is very hard to drive plus it’s more V than T512 and doesn’t kick as T512 on bass

hard to drive with N8ii? I doubt it
but decreased bass that's a pity, so, let's
wait and see if cohesion steps on the gas

Hi guys! I don't want to brag, but I'm still one step closer in the sound of the Eclipse to the level of full-size headphones; all this only with the help of PW FTS (yes, I bought them from our forum member, thank him! everything arrived safely) - now I also comprehended voodoo shielding unfortunately, no photo yet (later I'll post it); such a feeling, and before that I didn’t even hear FT, that the sheath of copper was very much conjured with the sound the "stage" became richer at times thanks to the synchronization of the XYZ axis, where X is the height, Y is the depth, Z is the width (the last one without comment), in my opinion, this setup is more about X compared to PW Attila, the sensitivity of treble has increased, which build vertical space better frequency separation control with a fluid (smooth) cohesive profile, unlike the drastic dry synth-o-matic sound of PW Attila bass dominates in moderate doses, but not in the first place, as in Attila. As a result, I got the prosthetic audibility of recessed Eclipse zone (see graph) in the premium version of PWAudio - a very useful experience that is worth sharing with those who have Eclipse (and if r-2r dap, then this is a real feast!)

P.S. So far I'm getting used to the changes
