which one is prefered for not so good recorded music??
Hello.
Just tried some DaftPunk, unburned everything almost out of box and i must say, i am really, but really impressed! Huge difference! E17 is not even close (to be honest my integrated sound card from my laptop sound better for me than E17 for IE 800, dont get me wrong, E17 can handle some dark sounding cans with great result, however, definitely not suited for for balanced IE 800 ) Using mid gain at the moment, will be back with you after some burn in.
Also thanks again for great iBasso DX90 recommendation!
Good to know you are enjoying your ie800 with dx90. In some threads, they do not like the pairing. So I am still confused whether to buy one or not.
The IE800 + DX90 is an excellent pairing, especially with the latest firmware. Lurker 2.1.5 + IE800 is a nice combo.
The hifiman filters are not a perfect fit. If i recall correctly the hifiman iems have a raised edge on the nozzles, but the 800's nozzles are flat. It is hard to keep the filters centered for that reason. They can slide around a bit. They would come off from time to time when I removed the tips. They also attach with adhesive and that gunked up my tips. They started coming off in my ears on occasion.
Soundwise. It did seem to modulate the treble. I found it made the 800s less fatiguing. The bass seemed to be slightly improved. For instance, when listening to acoustic music, the sound of the snare drums sounded more authentic. That being said, I didn't really find the benefits to be strong enough to justify dealing with the issues above.
