I actually like the FH5s over the FD5. But as Ds have stated here many times, you have to put the right cable (pure copper) on it and find the right ear tips. After over 100 hours of burn-in, the FH5s

You rate the EST 112 that high on your list?! Above some of those classics?! WOW! I'm kinda shocked. They rate high on my list too, but not that high lol

Just in case you missed: crinacle released See Audio Bravery measurements, looks very nicely done with neutral + mild V

Vs other neutral approach: E500

MEST MKII & SA6

As an early fan of the JVC/Victor woodies (the very first one, the HP-FX500, was released in 2008), I jumped at the chance to get a review loaner of Drop’s new collaboration with JVC (HA-FWX1, $449) which is a customized version of the HA-FW1800 ($599), and to hear how it improves the performance over its predecessor, the HA-FW01.

Well, the loaner arrived last week and I’ll be posting my review perhaps by this weekend.

Early impression, very tuneful bass and wet-sounding trebles with sparkle.

Nostalgic name of Victor FX500! Glad they are still releasing new IEMs!

Wow nice leather case!

I heard Yuan Li is a part of trilogy, rest assured it will be a nice incoming part 2 and 3, I wonder what that would be, BA hybrids, and EST hybrids maybe?

Yes I think you are right, the packaging states that the Yuan Li is part 1 of a trilogy. We'll see if the empire strikes back in part 2?

LZ A2 Pro and Topguy Comin my way. Will report as soon as I get em.

LZ A2 Pro and Topguy Comin my way. Will report as soon as I get em.

Hopefully the LZ A2 pro is better than the TRI Starsea. The Starsea do have excellent mids and realistic treble performance, along with an interesting sensation of the sound coming from outside of your head, but their bass performance is far from adequate in impact and gain.

FR for the LZ A2 pro

Top guy FR

Top guy will have more treble presence than their Loftys. Speaking of Loftys. It seems they got some user feedback about how warm the tuning is and they decided to change the nozzle mesh to a much more open type and I was told they will be including a different cable that supposedly enhances the treble end of the Lofty.

A bit too late for the Loftys but these look interesting. Titanium magnesium alloy dynamic. Will be interesting to see how these sound with this driver.

Anyone receive their 7Hz Timeless yet? What's the nozzle diameter?

wet sounding? So another V shaped bass monster?

When sound is described as "wet" it tends to have a more musical texture, while "dry" is more sterile sounding.

18 dB pinna gain? I don't dare to put these into my ears.

ya it is kind of a funny looking graph. Will be interesting to hear. Lol.

Rejoice, now we can experience the sensation of an ice pick obliterating our eardrums!
