Also the Aures are better than the Trio, but after two weeks or more, I still absolutely adore the Trio, but when I listen to the Aures, the spacial cues, imaging, transparency, and bass texture are just superior in the Aures. Now comfort? Trio wins by a mile! Now the Wu Zetian? Trio is right there neck and neck.
Aure fits basically like a CIEM in my ears. That cutout wraps around my extremely pronounced helical crus in my concha and settles in just about perfectly. Passive noise cancellation cannot get much better than that.

Photographer is one thing, pretty sure recently i saw mainstream tech website review an iem with similar reversed cable

There are people that shoot up whats called synthol into their arms and muscles to make themselves look like that fella. I don't get it. I suppose pumping iron and eating your spinach is not good enough folks resort to that kind of stuff. Lol
I mean if your gonna do that kind of stuff why not just save the degradation of the body and just get something like this.

Can't tell the difference between this and the shoot up guy is my point. Lol.

Yeah the AKG N5005 is one of the more surprisingly hard IEMs to drive. It takes almost the same amplification as the Final E4000 to be driven properly.
Yep. Otherwise the volume is low and the sound is wonky, with the bass, which is usually quite exceptional, being more wooly.

What happened to this thread? We have a Can Jam soon. A crinacle collab releasing today, a Cadenza 4 to talk about and this:
My Cadenza 4 is super delayed, getting one to review. But probably still a month away, due to new 2024 import rules of Norway.

I have anyways a lot of fun with the Campfire Bonneville and the Kinera Verdandi now, but would be nice with a cheaper set I actually dare take with me to work also.

HIDIZS MP145

Used it some for some weeks, had some problems with the fit and hurt me after some minutes. Due to angle of the nozzle, shell size is large but fine. Do to this I haven't really wanted to give it too much time.

The shell size is maybe also why it has such a large soundstage, step above all other planars I have used. Tonality is good and one of the better planars, still have certain metallic sound to it that I am not a fan of. Only planar I have tried having the least of it being Letshuoer S15.

Bass is deep and quite big, feel it is a little hollow compared to both F1 Pro and S15.
Midrange is quite decent, and is close to S15 except for being a little shouty.
Treble quite intense compared to S15, but very similar to F1 Pro. Does give it a lift in resolution that is nice.

Its a decent planar, while at that price bracket I would much rather get the F1 Pro. Unless you really crave a larger soundstage then MP145 is a better choice.

More like relentless releases. They are trying to catch up with KZ with the Pokemon weekly releases. RELENTLESS!
I am trying to tone my buying down. Last major iem I bought was the Timsok. The Mini Woo was not inexpensive, but can be spread around my collection to enhance the sound. The next iem I buy will be likely above $500 and it will take me some time to save for it. I will be very selective about that purchase as well.

The Jialai Carat. Recently got a set. Its a bright one just to give a heads up. Has lots of upper mids and trebles related to that tuning. It could use about 5dbs less upper mid emphasis imo. Bass is the best part of it but the sound tuning is fairly a steep V. Just a heads up. I know I posted that deal but thats if you like that coloration.
