Well, it looks like today is NiceHCK day.
I got the Lofty and the HB2.
From the Lofty, I was expecting a different tuning, with a more linear sub-bass and not the classic "mid-bass enhanced". I also expected the treble to be a bit more present. In the end, it's a tuning that I could call "inoffensive". Now, it just needs to do its job well. I understand that the hardness of the Beryllium driver requires a long burning... Just out of the box, my sensation is lukewarm... Although I'm testing with simple sources... you know, as you test one thing, you test the other... So I'm not being fair with my initial impressions of them.
What is clear is the FRs. And I was expecting it to be more like the NF Audio NM2+. Fortunately, it's not. Diversity is the spice of life.
What I have to admit that surprised me for the better is the HB2. I had never tried this type of Bluetooth adapter before. A priori, I expected more power, autonomy and the latest codecs. I also expected it to be more uncomfortable. And, in fact, they do have more power, I get a fairly high volume level (although a little more would have been great).
In terms of autonomy I can't say anything, because I've only tried 3 IEMS, two songs with each one. As for Codecs, many available with my HiBy R3 Pro, including LDAC high quality and aptX, of course.
The sound level is very good, the first impression is very pleasant, I can't say that qualitatively it's great, because I couldn't get more than a feeling of surprise, after switching between several IEMS. All these considerations will come in due course.
I have to say that I have never tried a product like this before and it is possible that others will do well. But I liked the fact that it has 3 pairs of connectors to cover many types of IEMS and its surprising convenience, something I was not expecting. I thought it was going to be more annoying and it's not.
Let's give it a try!
