V2 is my favorite Rhapsodio IEM, no joke.

I was still contemplating cos Sammy gave me the option to upgrade my V1 to the V2. You felt it's worth it?

I tried both the V1 & V2 Galaxy (and the Solar) at the Indulgence Show in London earlier this year.

As said above, they share the same driver & in the context of a show audition (so not ideal) I found the differences to be noticeable but marginal (& as described above). Bought the V1 as they're considerably lighter & the form factor more comfortable (for me).

Why the Galaxy doesn't have a  far greater profile on Head-Fi is beyond me, but it's vivid, vivacious performance is absolute dynamite. Yes multi-BA's have the edge when it comes to control - but to me the Involvement, sheer drama & sense of 'being there' from the Galaxy is worth that modest sacrifice.

To anyone considering one, it's also worth noting that tip-rolling and cable selection make a substantial difference and can successfully tweak things to your satisfaction. I went with the Luna 2 for a deeper, tighter bass & superior spatial cues & layering.

For me yes. Maybe not the best description, but the tonality of V1/V2 is like HD800/HD800S. Neutral vs musical, unforgiving vs all-rounder, and monitor vs listening enjoyment. As an added plus, the soundstage depth, air and separation are better on the V2. It suits my preferences very well.

I'm sure people have posted this (and I asked in the Vega thread), but could anyone give a comparison with the Vegas?

If the price is right, and you want more of the V2 features I listed over the V1, to me it's a no brainer

Does anyone know the name of the tips

They look like a spin fit, but with some curves or wings

I've had multiple pairs of those. Good. I've always called them cyclone tips. Not sure if that's their real name.

 

[theUKMrT]

I think they're called 'Wind' tips, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere.

 

[theUKMrT]

Sorry, that should be 'Whirlwind' (Tennmak)... They're available from Aliexpress.

Thanks!

So, a 5k peak on the galaxy v2 isn't sibilant?

 

[Solarsammy]

Thanks for the comparison between the v1 and v2.
Btw is the galaxy v2 available as a custom iem for maximum seal?

Thank you

Custom made version more like v1 + deeper bass
