Yeah I was going to order another one of those, should I also get one of the single-flange tips? Is there anything special about those? The CP500/800 look really slim/long

I am not a fan of double flange tips. To me they are uncomfortable. If you are like me, in reviewing my Luna, the best tip I have found is the Azla SednaEarfitLight short and also the earfitlight standard. Very comfortable and they come in a MS and ML size in addition to L and S which might help you get a better fit. I am sure they will also fit the QDC’s. They are available on amazon and can be returned. I was told they also won an award ( it might have been in Japan ). These were superior to all of the latest spinfits tested, and many others as well. As I am sure you know, proper fitting ear tips is a very personal thing, but these should be tried. Tks.

These look really interesting. I'm still looking at the options they have but I'll probably get a pair of short-lights and lights . They have so many options it's a little confusing.

Yes, they do. Their top tips are the ear fit lights. And they only come in short and standard. Stay with those and it is much less confusing. Those are the tips that won the awards. As the shorts were recommended by others to me, I started with those and ordered the MS, ML and L sizes. I then liked the ML best, but also kept the L as they also fit. I returned the MS. Tks.

Hello, new head-fi'er here! I've had my qdc Gemini since 2017 and even after the release of the VX, I think the Gemini still competes with other TOTL IEMs (Solaris, U12t, IER-Z1R, etc). I'm too in love with the design of my pair to even get the VX. I heard they were both very similar in tonality with slightly better resolution and more bass on the VX. I think I'll stick with my Gemini until qdc introduce their own estat or 12 BA IEMs with insane resolution.

Regarding the images I've attached, I went for a green wood design on a universal pair and have changed the stock cable after it stopped working after 11 months. The cable you are seeing is the Linsoul Tripowin Zonie cable which surprisingly feels high quality being a 16 core cable and sturdy at only $18. So much better than the skinny stock qdc cable although no difference in sound from what I can remember.

Im of the opinion that there isnt really a reason to upgrade from gemini to VX. some people do prefer one over the other due to sound signature and what not.

Right now I'm looking into buying RIYO foam tips for my qdc's. 6 pairs for $7 on Amazon. The universal nozzle is the same size as the Campfire Andromeda. The comply foam tips are too expensive to buy a 2nd pair and they also rip easily. Anyone have recommedations on good bang for the buck foam tips before I go ahead and buy to RIYO's? I think every qdc universal has the same size nozzle if I'm not mistaken.

The best tips I have found are the Azla SednaEarFitLightShort (or standard if you cannot use the short). I use these on my Luna’s and will also use on any other universal IEM once I get another set. I realize the Luna is not QDC, but I have compared them to many many other tips including lots of foam tips including hybrids, and the Luna is extremely tip sensitive. I would recommend getting a pair off of amazon and trying them out. You can always return them as amazon will allow them to be returned. They are expensive, but should last well over a year if not much more as they are silicone. Tks.

Does anyone know where I can get one of those round orange QDC cases in the US? I have a pair of blue Geminis coming without a case and would like one.

 

[Love Music]

can someone compare the v6 and the 4ss?

 

[arch023]

I have grown very accustomed to the VX so much that I won't touch my other gear. any recommendations for cable rolling? I think I'm ready to throw bigger bucks into cables, anybody has any experience with satin audio?

 

[Love Music]

The v6 seems to be ranked quite low by crinacle. Still waiting for the fusion to arrive and i have the m7 and v3. Seems the v6 is on the same level as v3 and the m7 is ranked quite highly nearly top tier...

Got the Anole VX and am fascinated. Prefer them over the LCD-i4, not because they sound better (they don't), but they're pretty close in terms of performance and the bass is to die for, something the LCD-i4 lacks (I mean quantity/impact here). Love this body for my Metal and DubStep sessions, in terms of fit, it's the best fit and isolation I have ever had from a IEM. Another point where the LCD-i4 lacks due to semi-open nature.

I have a question: any cable that you would recommend that would really make the difference for the (great) stock cable? My source is a FiiO M15.

The Effect Audio Leonidas sounds terrible here, is it due to inverted polarity? I've tried some connectors the seller has sent me, but the Leonidas doesn't fit there :S

@OverlordRush recommended the Luminox Day for Night cable to me a few months back and I’m very happy with it. He did a handy cable comparison earlier on in the thread I believe
