Just received my first Chifi IEMs...Guideray GR-T20.

They came in a wood/mdf box with a faux brown leather case, cable and 6 sets of tips.

I honestly don't know how to review IEMs so I can't say they are amazing or bad. They sound better than my only other pair of IEMs...the AKG N30 and I think those sounded pretty good to begin with. I know the pix aren't great, but I'm new at that as well. They are 2BA+1DD. Oh, and you can find them for about $60 on ali. They may be a clone of the Magaosi v3. Same driver config and size, port look, and location.

garbage bag ties make the best chin sliders. fast and easy.

Awww man, don’t roll like that. Nice cables deserve something better than a garbage bag tie.

All you need is rubber bands for orthodontic braces. They are a couple bucks for a bag of 100 (or free if your kids go to an orthodontist), are clear so they blend in with any cable, look nice, work very effectively, and are super easy to install.

You need the size 1/8” X-Heavy, like this:


Another option are ‘bead stoppers’ used on jewelry bracelets with slide on beads:

Magaosi V3 uses Knowles BAs (A
they always do) and beryllium dynamic. I can’t find information about specific driver specifications in the Guideray literature. Also, V3 is mmcx and the GR is 2-pin.

Magaosi shows two pin on Penon here.

Vent looks identical and where located. Both also use 9.2mm DD. I think I read that there is another Guideray that is a clone of another Magaosi.

Of course maybe they are different, but they seem to have a lot of similarities.

Ah yeah, you're right about the 2-pin. Thanks for the correction

Yeah, bro! Thanks for posting these options. Those are way more classy looking than garbage bag ties.

Hi guys,
Hope you doing well, I posted the review for the review of Oriveti OH500 on head fi.
It is overall smooth, warm and musical IEM, with strong technical performance.
I really like it personally, if you intresting about OH500 please check out my review.

Pretty good.

 

[DynamicEars]

Pretty good.

VS H40 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee and Mofos Trio too
(note: mod your H40, significant improvement on bass quality, speed, no more bloated bass, add details, very clear mids, and much better imaging, very airy)

I couldn't find the grill mod for H40. Missed it somehow. Could you please point me in the right direction?
I modded my Noble M3 a few days ago and was blown away. Cannot stop listening to it for 3 days now. The only thing that might break that addiction is Trio and FH3, arriving Monday. (so, I'll have them all too)
I'm a believer in mods now, - like never before. It also helps that I'm back to work and have access to my equipment.
So, let it be a mod season!
Did you remove the grill from H40? If so, then maybe I'll combine that with foam mod to tame lower treble. (the one that did wonders for otherwise insufferable M3)
One thing that drives me nuts now is that all my metal IEMs are dripping condensate in this humid weather. Ouch!
So, - off with the metal grill, will try to put foam instead. Well, Sony does...

Well I can say for now these phones may represents some of the best sonic production for their price points. If your expecting something close to the Mofo Trio in the Fiio FH3.

That would be awesome. FH3 has a similar tuning to the Mofo but that is about the only real similarities. Mofo Trio would be like a super refined Fiio FH3. In fact reason why I am not blown away from the FH3 at this point is because I have been listening to the Mofos all day. I have to adjust to the FH3 sonic production. And I have to say for the price point these are very good. Are they H40 good? Not really. These don't have the musical full bodied mids of the H40 or do they have the stage of the H40. I just got them so I will have to get used to their sound. And these do not have thundering intense bass. Lol. To be fair the bass is excellent. Might beat the H40 in the bass department for speed and quality actually but that will be the only aspect that might beat the H40. Mids sounds a bit thin to be honest but again they are fresh out of the box. I am not one to judge out of the box. They are promising. Will see where this one goes.

 

[Dsnuts]

Stock cables looks pretty nice but. Look nice but these are no different from any other throw in cable. I can tell they limit the sonics on the FH3. Already tried a few cables and each cable makes them sound better. They are Fiios SPC basic cables. Not bad but nothing to write home about. Already switched out cables. ( Be aware of marketing hype.) Hype is strong with this one.

 

[jant71]

It says right there noticeably better than standard cable. Are you calling them a liar??

 

[Dsnuts]

Well it is better built than your average throw in cable. But sound wise. FH3 mid bands sound noticeably more thinner with these cables. The cables I was using on the FH3 aren't my more expensive ones either. I am gonna burn them in overnight and see what happens.
