Sunniva #15 aboard the barge safely and thank you Jim for another amazing build you always exceed the expected
Got a mostly free weekend ahead to give them some

Nice! I am just before you at #14. They are waiting for me in Singapore when I return in a month's time!

If Serratus has bass just like a BA-based IEM, then Sunniva is more like DD

Not had much time with my Sunniva yet or worked my way through all the foams...but straight off the bat I’d say Sunniva has more of a “BA’ bass than Serattus, Serattus hits harder and deep with a quicker decay more DD stylee...where as Sunniva’s decay seems a tad slower with more of an emphasis on the mid bass...but time will tell, loads more listening to do plus all deem foams lol

Except that's literally the definition of DD bass (except DD bass can also be focused on sub-bass).

Like I've mentioned: the Serratus I own may be a slightly different beast (500Ω driver, PET bell-shaped shells) from all the others OG Serrati out there.
It's not that I don't want to admit I could be wrong - far from that. It's just that both of us can be right, since we don't share the same setups.

Funny that we’re discussing 2 DD buds give me some more time and I’ll add a Z1R and an og Andro to the mix

Man no one’s wrong or right lol but it would be interesting to know if anyone has both the bell and shell Serratus or graphed them?

I do but I haven't graphed them (not that I can). I don't like the Bell shape.

 

[Ohmboy]

I don't like the Bell shape.

Is that just a fit thing? as I was/am also interested in trying some of Jim’s future bell creations.

A general question to everyone here:

Have any of you ever heard any buds from Korean artisan makers, at around 100-150 USD range?

I wasn’t a fan of Bell Serratus’ fit either. I’m a shell guy, all the way

Shell guy as in MX500 or PK or rather a stem guy? I too tend to not like the larger sized bell/horn shaped shells (e.g. VE Sun Dice / Copper) unless they have stems to help counter balance them (e.g. Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 2.0 醇净 600 LE). I have small ears so smaller bell shapes like those used by Ks luckily do fit me, and quite well, sans stems (e.g. K's 凯 Temperament Bell-Ti 钛铃 or K's 凯 Temperament Bell-Blue 蓝精铃).

Yeah, I didn't like the fit, so can't comment on sound differences because I didn't persevere. The bell I got also had a noodle thin cable instead of the thicker silver OG stock cable.

Thanks guys I think I’ll be sticking to shells in the future, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it as they say

I'd say stems in general. I've had no problems fitting MX500, PK, or even the thin-stem bud like an NiceHCK EB2S. I got to demo Bell Serratus and could not get them to sit comfortably, even though they did seat properly (sound wise)

Still selling my #2 Alu Shell Serratus with the retune Jim did to more closely match his target, if anyone is interested
