HI Mr. Wizard i have a question regarding the Apolo can a 4.4mm jack be used on this? i forgot to ask Jim and kai when i was at the show in tokyo
AK and Onyx make for an amazing pairing! enjoy.
Brought my onyx with the AK SE300. Really great sound for the trip.
Yup it’s darn good. The AK R2R is smooth and solid sounding that really complements the onyxAK and Onyx make for an amazing pairing! enjoy.

I've heard both and I could not tell the difference. However, the Viking Damascus is another story.Is it just a myth that Prestige Viking Ragnar has softer treble comparing the regular Ragnar or by actual tuning? Can someone please confirm?
After hearing the Viking Damascus and comparing them to the Viking Ragnar, I wondering if I could get the Ragnar somewhere close to what I heard on the Viking Damascus (i.e. the sweet treble as opposed the bright treble), I began to tip roll again. Initially I was settled on the MandarinEs Symbio Eartips which has a foam insert. These tips did smoothen the treble a little. I then decided to try full foam and I had a pair of Dekoni Foams lying around. Because of the size of the bore of the Dekoni Foams, it was difficult to put on. With care, I did manage to put it on and I am glad I did as I have not heard the Ragnar so good in the treble. It is now to my liking!I've heard both and I could not tell the difference.

Not shifting the rest of the tuning too much for you? This has been an issue for me using foamies in general. Apart from that for me they seem to make imaging more diffuse. Not sure if that's the right word to use here though, but what I mean is that the (to my ears) disappearing air around instruments reduces their "being there". Think palpability, having their own room to breathe, et cetera.So for those of you still trying to tame the treble on the Ragnar, do try foam tips. It worked for me!
I did not notice this. The Ragnar are so technically gifted that even if foams had that character, it seems not to affect the Ragnar. Plus I think Dekoni Foams are different from other foams in that they are less foamy (if that makes sense). Also, these foams have the added advantage of giving more body to the bass which is a bonus for me!Not shifting the rest of the tuning too much for you?

EDIT: So actually the imaging is less diffuse, but also less life-like. If that makes any sense at all.

Tnx! Will look 'em up.I did not notice this. The Ragnar are so technically gifted that even if foams had that character, it seems not to affect the Ragnar.

I’m using wireless adapter for the wired IEMs haha.
Will wired ever become extinct?
Cochlear + Neuralink = Yes. "When" is the better question.

100% agree when it comes to listening on the go, cables are a nuisance. For quite listening sessions in a hotel room or at home I think we may be a little farther out from a sound quality prospective when compared to high quality cables. I also enjoy the subtle changes that different cables bring to different IEM's and headphones, something you can't replicate with BT."When" is the better question.
