Hm, would the T20 be considered a Full range driver despite the dualcoil setup? Or will the dual coil make it a 2 way system?
I will consider it a full range single driver system. The dual coil system just helps the driver to move in more ways, from what I understand.
Yes, but I'm curious if the coils both receive the same signal and only act as a boost to the magnetic field, or if they have some phase difference/filter thing going on for them.
The audio signal is separated when it reaches the driver housing, splitting it into two sets of frequencies - bass/lower midtones and upper midtones and treble frequencies. Each signal is directed to one of the voice coils, the upper half of the frequency range to the outer coil and lower half to the inner coil. The coils operate independently, each with their own electromagnetic field reacting to the magnet's static magnetic field.
had a really quick audition of these today, only ~15 mins when passing by the store and the staff told me they have something interesting, so why not
only had ipc with me but borrowed cypherlabs trio + picco IC from the store, didn't ask which filter it was but staff told me it was "something in the middle"
so here are some very brief and maybe not so accurate impressions -
bass is relatively heavy and punchy
not a lot of treble
sound signature is more towards neutral-warm, relatively thick but dry
smooth transition, good surrounding
ok but not-very-big soundstage, very obvious when compared to higher-end iems
low sensitivity but not hard to drive - pretty decent sound directly from ipc, amp is not really necessary
very good build quality and fit but well, no interchangeable cable
to sum up - a comfortable universal suitable for long-time listening, i actually would prefer it over some iems of (much) higher price because the transition and surrounding is really good.
I don't own any other RHA iems so i cant compare.
i knew little about RHA before and was a little surprised to know the possible retail price, i was expecting something much higher - even double
anyway just some thoughts from a very quick unprepared audition session, will audition again when next time i drop by and have more time to a/b
so..bottom line is it sounds like T10i?

Any news on a release date?
