My customs are here! Once just a dream, now a reality. Couldn't be happier!

I hope you end up enjoying yours more than I enjoyed mine. I liked custom, but I don't think I'll ever do them again. The fit is fine, but since I often get a seat on the bus and use the headrest, I get a lot of vibration noise that I don't get so much of with universals. And the commute is where I use my IEMs the most, so you can see where custom just doesn't work out as well for me. Damn my head and bone conduction .

Which model is that?

Fair enough! I used to be a bus guy, now I'm a tram guy lol. I am enjoying them, still getting used to the fit, it is different.

I got the Legend X (Empire Ears)

The fit is very different! Having all of your ear filled with the shell feels really weird at first. You get used to it though. Empire Ears! Good stuff. I have the Supra from the days when they went by Earwerkz. It's actually from the original KS run that I bought from another Head-Fi'er.

I have finished my full in-depth review on CTM Da Vinci X

The warm brother's review is still in work, but if you like a more neutral sound, this will be the one for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a warmer, more euphonic sound, Da Vinci IX should be right up your alley!!

I also have a new video live, this time about FiiO EH3NC, the FiiO Bluetooth headphones with a warm sound, and a good BT performance priced at 200 USD.

Got a set of M1060C in today that had the closed cups removed and open back grills installed. Less than an hour later I'd already put on some alcantara pads, pulled the thick felt pad out on the grill side and inserted some speaker grill material in its place, and covered the exposed driver on the ear pad side with some really thin material. I also ordered another HFM headband so I could get rid of the horrible floppy thing that is a Monolith stock headband. I think I have a problem with loving to mod my headphones because I also have a headband on the way for my Thieaudio Phantoms, lol. Anyway, they sound pretty dang good!

I just purchased a silver DX160 and should have it here soon. Had to get a 2.5-4.4 adapter since none of my stuff terminates in 4.4 for balanced. Excited to hear this finally.

Think you will be very pleased with the audio performance.

Congrats, hope it's what you're looking for bro. I'd have that same issue if I bought a player with 4.4mm, everything balanced I own ends in 2.5mm or 4 Pin XLR.

*EDIT* Nm, I just remembered my Thieaudio Phantoms came with a nice 2.5mm to 4.4mm balanced adapter.

Ok so this a repost that I have already posted on the btr5 thread but wanted to share with you guys too.

Ok so initial impressions........turned on and paired, stuck some er4xr balanced on , were talking 2 mins set up and 1 test track Amazon hd..... its excellent , I'm totally a wired guy normally but this sounds very good and probably for my use which is at work I probably wont bother wiring it ...excellent sound for its price range and well above.

 

[majo123]

Tried it wired to my s10 5g , works flawlessly Amazon hd ...maybe a little more resolution and depth showing through but dont want to take anything away from the bluetooth ..as some of you already know I have always been a wired guy never use bluetooth in any form but this probably has changed that.

Update: Nikon is all good. It was the battery charger that died. Also, we arrived in Huatulco on the 7th and left on the 14th.
