You definitely should! It’s still my favorite IEM currently, and it is amazing. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a “perfect” IEM. If you like more neutral sounding mids, the MEST may just be ideal though.

yes i do like natural mids normally. and good kick drum. cant wait to try it.

Is the Tape pro's treble rolled off? I love the treble from Tape, hoping the pro is not a very dark iem

From BGGAR's graph, the treble is indeed toned down quite a bit. I don't know that the graph looks dark per se though. Just a more balanced tuning.

I think here we may be looking into the Fletcher Munson Curve situation which illustrates an interesting phenomenon of human hearing.

When listening to music through your IEMs.

As the actual loudness changes, the perceived loudness our brains hear will change at a different rate, depending on the frequency.

At low listening volumes – mid range frequencies sound more prominent, while the low and high frequency ranges seem to fall into the background. At high listening volumes – the lows and highs sound more prominent, while the mid range seems comparatively softer.

in reality, the overall tonal balance of the sound remains the same, no matter what the listening volume.

Now looking at Tape Pro’s graph it is arguably superior to the original Tape by vast margin and I feel that many people now can comfortably listen to the Pro with slightly higher volume than the original version which prevented loud SPL by super shouty upper mids.

This in turn, will balance out slightly lower top and bottom amplitude as you will be perceived to hear more top and bottom ends with slightly louder volume level.

I highly doubt that you would feel its high rolled off.

That and since the bass is also lowered, it will balance itself out overall. Although with the bass boost config it might be a warmer iem than the original tape but I doubt it be considered dark.

Cumulatively, the midrange looks to be much improved and not very recessed like the original.

An indirect effect of lowering both mids and treble.

That's intresting, sure makes sense!
Thankyou for detailing it out @tgx78
Much appreciated

thank you for this detail. i am new to this world of audiophiles so it is very interesting to learn. thank you.

Tape pro or fh3?

Tape pro or fh3?

Both, thats what I planbto do

 

[Infoseeker]

I was more curious compared to the LZ a7

 

[GSkyflakes]

Does anyone have a comparison between the shuoer tape pro and the nf audio nm2+? I wanted to get some insight before i place my order for 11.11

Are detail retrievals better on the newer shuoer tape pro? I was looking for a step up from my it00, i love them for the fun sound sig, but i guess im looking for something more neutral with better details and imagine

As the mere mortals don’t have the Tape Pro yet there are no comparisons right now. It will ship from 11.11 so comparisons will come after 11.11.
