Lovely color!

If I saw that color scheme under my sink, I would be calling in a hazmat team.

Or sticking out of your ears.

Speaking of, I don't think we heard or seen much of Aur Audio lately. Have we?

Thieaudio clairvoyance...who's got it and what do you think of it? Looks interesting to me.

Crinacle classes it as Neutral with bass boost. I think you don't like that signature. Do you? Not to mention that one of his daily drivers is the Thieaudio Monarch (the slightly more expensive EST twin) with a 20Ohm resistor for added warmth.

Can you elaborate how a resistor adds warmth? Is an impedance adapter the same thing?

I've been using an impedance adapter to lower the volume of some dongles, I've been wondering if they change the sound or if it's all just my imagination..

The effect on output impedance depends on the IEM's own impedance curve and just so happens that the Monarch becomes warmer with more output impedance, hence resistors can be used to make that particular IEM warmer.

And yes I think he uses an impedance adapter for this purpose (id assume it wouldn't look glamorous to stick resistors at the end of cables).

Feels happy to waste 300$ and got a decent IEM for reviewing. Here is my Acoustune HS1300SS review

Wow, almost everything arrived at once. (everything except my Audiosense T180/DT100.)

First off, lets get the garbage out of the way. The RP-HZ47 sounds like a really bad radio, very harsh and sharp treble. Has a very notiecable "shhhhh" radio noise.....
sub-bass sounds like a really bad mid-bass, mid-bass quantity is extremely low quantity.

Mids.....sounds like a really bad quality phone call or something....

yeah, horrible, a total waste of money

Rank: F

Well, this is actually pretty good. Sounds like a mini Koss KSC75. Bass doesnt reach as low as the KSC75 so tonality is a bit brighter and treble can sometimes be a bit sharp as well. But mids are great as well as soundstage. But a step behind the KSC75 in details, imaging and timbre.

It has a retractable cable thats pretty unique and you can adjust the ear hooks to fit your ears much better than on the KSC75. The problem with the fit though, is that it is pretty heavy so when you move your head, they start swaying and that means the sound will be affecting.

I paid around 16 usd for this one while the KSC75 was around 30 usd for me. So this could be an even cheaper alternative if you want an earclip. But honestly, if you can pay more for the KSC75 you should just do that instead lol.

Rank D+

Sony MDR-EX1000, the iem that seems to be regarded as a timeless king for single DD iems.

Well, I knew I was going to need to EQ it. The treble isnt good (like the graph). But the mids, bass and soundstage are great. Will definitely review this after I got my other reviews out of the way first.

But the newborn child vs the timeless king (Zen VS EX1000) will be included in my Zen review.

What's up with flagship DDs having outstanding detail retrieval... And wacky and/or heavily specialist tuning?

Excellent review and I agree. They are excellent earphones.

My Dita Truth arrived today. So far OOTB they have a very mature sound. They remind me of my Sennheiser IE800 QUITE A BIT. The Senns have much depper and punchier bass, and the Truth have more clear and transparent mids, but they are very similar in the early going. Gonna be burning them in, but you can tell these were tuned with a high quality TOTL sound in mind. My Senn's are getting a run for their single dynamic money.
