Well, being that they are lightning only that kind of puts you stuck with that litttle but good lightning amp. I would guess it’s 1More’s idea or an exact part used in the lightning to 3.5mm cable adapter sold by Apple?
And.... they are thick sounding. Though using a regular home (non-lightning) amplifier and better source or a higher end DAP they can scale to a point.
They are not going to scale up to a massive detailed treble, but the upscale seems to pull-in more detail and space out of the midrange and tightens up the bass slightly.
Most of this hobby is fine-tuning stuff to fit a personal sound signature. The slightly woolly aspect of the Triple Drivers may not be your cup of tea? Even with the best of reference sources they do start to become more detailed, but that bass signature is always lerking somewhere.
They do have a following, but again it could be a whole group liking a far from reference signature? If your still interested try to get a listen (a non-lighting pair) at a show out of the best equipment you can find and try them out.
Funny too as the general conclusion when they first landed was there was a lot of lower low mid-bass with sub bass slightly lacking. They are much that way, but the lower mid-bass tightens up with amplification.
At times I like them better than IEMs 5X their price, at times I like them better than IEMs 17X their price.
The tips that 1More supply are kind of different to me. They are more flat and round. They have a wider nozzle which fits the wide nozzle at the driver ends. Remember those BAs are nudged right up to the end of that nozzle and the bass comes from behind. With this IEM I believe too long of nozzle tube is going to affect how the highs are dispersed? Thus the included tips are strange?
