Awaiting your impressions of the Globe!

Quick impression on the Globe will be the bass is articulated well with agility and each hit is precise. The midrange is imbued with a slight tinge of warmth and transparency is maintained at a high standard. Vocals are expressed cleanly with fantastic clarity. Treble is light, airy and extended. Soundstage is pretty open. Hope this helps.

After some inactivity due to a busy schedule, I am happy to say I am back in this hobby. I have very interesting products I can't wait to write about. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always!

Another post for Obscure IEMs that i discovered lately

Seda Plateada by Spyker Audio
Link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp...1q4iGl&id=621016790005&ns=1&abbucket=6#detail
MSRP: 2899 (around $450)

What makes it special? it is Single BA with housing made by Sterling Silver
the sound? cold, good extension both ways, bass has really nice texture and good impact, treble is sparkling and slight boost on upper-mid which give overall clean presentation. The one that make it different from others single BA is it definitely has 3D imaging which not even ER4XR achieved that.

what it lacking for the price range? resolution, it's bottlenecked on single BA capabilities. Don't get me wrong, it definitely has better resolution and more surgical presentation than etymotic single BA offering. it just don't have high resolution as another multi driver IEM at the price range.

for Single BA effort, Seda Plateada definitely surprised me and it's probably the best single BA i've heard.
Yes i've heard all etymotic Single BA (ER4P/S/B/XR) and also heard some cheaper single BA such as Moondrop Nocturne, Rose North Snow, Tipsy Blue Aurora, Xuanerji X-01 (well, this one not cheap but good one), Penon Sphere, etc

Seda Plateada might be on expensive side for Single BA, but i think it's got the right price.

In defense of the TA1, I think the tuning of that IEM is meant to be warm and non-fatiguing even in extended listening sessions, so I would argue it has a different objective altogether

And that's why I think the TA1 still has a place in my collection and should have one too for people looking for a sound sig free from harsh highs wrapped in a durable-feeling, cheaper product Admittedly I should have been clearer in saying that I thought the TRN TA1's highs are noticeably duller sounding/less-extended compared to the MT300, not that the TA1's highs are very dull in general. I've heard significantly duller, less-extended highs from IEMs around the TA1's price (NiceHCK P3, ADV. Sound Model 3), that have left me craving significantly more in that area. Such a well-built and pleasant-sounding IEM for quite cheaper than the MT300 will remain as the pair I take when I'm outside, or I want to kick back with, as you said, a non-fatiguing listening experience, that takes the MT300's addictive charm (to me) down a notch but can still pack a decent punch in terms of bass. The MT300 will probably remain home much more often than not, where I can get lost in the clarity and detail in a generally quieter space, haha.

I’m on a break (from this addiction), as I’ve pivoted to a new/past hobby. But Fiio has yet to disappoint me and this FH5 variant will probably pull me back in.

I’ve been on breaks before, but my experience tells me there is always something new that draws me back in!

Not sure if anyone posted this new flagship by qdc. The faceplate reacts to UV light and changes from black to green/purple.

Do the 4 switches allow to change the color? Ok, I go out

Does anyone knows what is Hidizs MS1 bio-diaphragm is made from? Any animal parts involved? As they have really dropped in price recently would like to try it out, but would not want anythings animal related in my ears. Thanks.

 

[profusion]

Just a wing-skin from a Wuhan bat I suppose, nothing special
