W2 and M8 are pretty complimentary. @FooFighter & I have discussed it at length so perhaps he can add in if I missed anything, but:Couple questions.. maybe the wrong thread but since the Trailli is likely on my horizon...
I have the M8 which I understand isn't the best source but I'm not thinking to change that for now.
I thought of maybe adding a W2 and wondered if that issue with the iphones is still a concern, the part about drawing too much and volume clipping or something.
And, could the W2 work with the M8 just for comparison purposes..?
1. Excited for your potential in obtaining Traillii
2. Yes, W2 will eat your iphone battery
3. M8 is still a great source for Traillii, don't stress it. Most of us are just crazy and trying to find slight adjustments for synergy. Traillii really pairs well with just about anything.
4. W2 vs M8:
W2 is more of an upper-mids and [dry, addicting] subbass focused presentation, whereas M8 has more of a midbass and lower mids focus. Treble is a touch more laid-back on M8 but in a smooth, warm way. W2's transients are a bit more energetic IMO. Technically, they are surprisingly quite similar. M8 does have a slightly fuller sound overall, but W2 + Traillii is not thin by any means. For the price-to-performance ratio, I do prefer the W2 + Traillii synergy than M8 + T. It's just the damn battery draining...
