I threw on the cable that came with the Loftys and Loftys been cable less since. It is a perfect match for the SG-01 if you havn't tried that. Then you can try out that wider bored included tip. It opens up the sound of them SG-01 nicely and the cable gives much better synergy vs stock cable. Sounds fantastic this combo.

I love my sg-03 very much. Is any sense to buy the SG-01 for me ?

there isn't any tribrid that qualified as a basshead.
you need a 15db gain on bass,



the blue line is a basshead iem, +15db bass
the other is the tribrids, +10db max,

Is there an established rule written somewhere which stipulates a requirement of 15db gain for IEMs to qualify as a basshead IEM?

I would like to know this actually?
I'm under the impression the 03 has the best Sub-Bass below $100? Would you say this is correct? The 01 is half they price so could be a great buy? If anyone has a comparison between the SG-03 & SG-01 would be great? If Gk10 is involved would be even better?

The sg03 has better sub bass like the bl03

The TRI I3 is a tribid (1DD + 1 planar + 1 BA) that is one level shy of true basshead quantities when it is amped. This is not only from graphs, but from actual listening.

Graph courtesy of KopiOKaya from Audioreviews. (IEC711 compliant coupler). 7 - 8 kHZ area is probably a resonance peak.

SG-01 and SG-03 share some similar aspects to the sound tuning. Both seem to be more of a W shaped tuning SG-01 has less sub bass emphasis but still has some solid bass to the tuning. Less bass means they were able to get more mids and a touch better treble focus and extension for a better balanced tuning. So while the SG-03 has more of a sub bass skew to the tuning the SG-01 has a bit more treble skew to its tuning with a more balanced mid range.

Is the SG-01 worth getting? That depends if you like what you hear from the SG-03 your certainly going to like what you get on the SG-01 as the tuning is better balanced out of the two. It certainly helps that the cost on them are $39.

Look yet another new GK10 owner. Just posted this.

So far I'm quite pleased but I'm still experimenting with tips to see what works best for me. I do find them a bit forward in the upper mids for my taste but again I'm reserving final judgement until I've tried various tips and sources. I have given the GK10 a brief listen and man are they fantastic OOTB. They feel cheap but sound great. Put the same sound into a nicer shell and cable and I'd easily pay 100USD for them. Gonna break them in and try a nicer cable later.

Anyone tried Tenhz Shadow? (Don't know if they are new or an old product I have stumbled on)

Agreed, 13db bass gain,
that is a lot of bass,

From what iv be told from "

You might be correct? But from what "Dsnuts" the ISN EST50 is the "Closest" to a basshead IEM.
And trust me when i put my FiiO E07k on 12bd High Gain & number 7-8 Bass boost it should put me in the right place? I just need to find out how it scales & reacts to EQ? But you are correct there is not a basshead Tridrid in a true sense but, should be achievable with Amp'ing & EQ?

yes,
you could make any iem to be a basshead with EQ,
but there is some limitations,
1. Some iems get distorted when added too much bass EQ
2. Some iems doesn't react that much even when added a bass boost EQ

You need something that could deliver a boosted and clean bass without any distortions,
for example are some sony and generally some berrylium coated driver, they takes a boosted bass EQ like a champ,

I've been low key obsessed with Beryllium drivers but could never find one whose tuning aligned with my preferences. I know the IT01x isn't pure Be, but I really liked the IT00, I just wished it had a different timbre and no driver flex. I'm hoping the IT01x will satiate my Beryllium cravings and keep me from wasting money I need to save on the CA Atlas.

KBEAR just came out new flagship Robin (4BA+1DD), around $50.

It looks like Lark on steroid, will report upon arrival (ETA Aug 13)

Totally agree.
With fiio e12, Tri I3 sounds really better, with my 'old' xduoo x3

My tri i3 is a bassless with the e1da 9038s. Why ?

 

[jmwant]

The Blue variant looks cool.
