From the perspective of EQ, it's the same thing. Cutting one band is identical to boosting all the others. And IMO the EQ profile I hashed out still sounds good and maintains the Punch's "secret sauce." The bass is just much more toned down in quantity. The toughest part about tuning (or EQ) is managing how your adjustments affect other frequency bands and the overall timbre/tonality. It's like the proverbial situation of plugging a leak in a dam with your finger, only to see another leak appear, then another, and another, and so on. You quickly run out of fingers.
The engineers have to do the hard part of figuring out how to implement the gobs of bass that HBB suggests. Can't be easy. I've heard many IEMs with far less bass quantity that also have far less bass quality. At the very least, the Punch uses some decent drivers. Single-DD bass is clean the whole way down. And those ESTs are pulling off some nice magic. From everything I've heard from others, tuning ESTs isn't easy.Haha, perhaps it was all Kiwi Ears
And another discovery for liller the new CVJ x R2E3 Acoustics Colab looks for $100 on first listen a really nice single DD mids forward set with a airier tonality not a set who prefer a bassierlush warm set.
Sure are lookers.
I'm always glad to steer you in the right direction with a purchase. Some things might seem like a good deal, but sometimes they are deals because they aren't worth the original price of admission. Then there's classics, like the Timsok, where the warm reception continues because they are an evergreen sound (like the Hype 2).There are almost no reviews on the purple, just some basic feedback.
And its from people who like the sound signature.
But i believe you may be right that it is not that great of an IEM.
And on the other hand i have seen great feedback on that Timsok iem. And have allready been on that shop and looked at it.
But i forgot that deal.
But now i may just get it for that price.
Thanks to you i now have a kind of top tier for half the price as an option.
I am probably going to get the Timsok, because i want a really good single DD
Yeah, that's one hell of a beautiful IEM, and @theintention and @Scubadevils would agree with your impressions as well!!I just can't get enough of these BGVP Phantom SE . Wow, do these even turn my crank. I was trying not to listen to them too much while I was spending time with the UM Stardust because everything I hated about the UM the Phanom was doing it for me.
These might me one of my all-time favorite sets. I would pick up and these more even over the $16,999 Fugaku I listened too.
My review will be nothing but pure shilling and gushing over this set that came out of nowhere for me.
While my Omega is off getting repaired, My Szalayi is out on tour I don't care.
Rare for me to pick a Source in this case the ONIX XM5 and AZLA sednaearfit Short and stock baller cable and call it a day.
Also my Canadian pride kicking in with The Maple Burlwood and Red resin shells killing it with the Snake Edition.
I am a massive stage hound and vocal lover and not sure what's the secret sauce with the Phantom the Sonion BA'S or the Sonion BCD and the way they vent it out with a special hole right at the concha area but whatever is happening loving it.
BGVP Fanboi has been made.
Oh the SP01 is superior to the Kefine's in every possible way. It's one of my no brainer recs. Only thing that bums me out is that I bought the Klean and the SP01 at the same time, and I didn't need the Klean LOL
Congrats on the great find! Yeah, the H20 is a fabulous musical IEM, and it's a definitive keeper for me. I have so many of those brightish v with a touch of warmth from bass bleed IEMs. This is why I really enjoy the H20, FIVE, Decet, KB02, and Explorer. They are all more bassy musical, and go against my usual slew of bright neutral and u-mild v shaped IEMs that dominate my rotation past and present.\

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Amazing this can compete technically with the Klean...looks like a real breakthrough in the around 10 dollar segment. It seems in terms of driver quality the evolution is EDC Pro/Libra/etc > Saga/Libra X > ZVX Pro. Do you think tuning the ZVX Pro to the Saga Bal's tuning would beat the Sagas at their own game? I could ask the same for retuning the Libra X, but this seems to have a better driver. I use Hiby Musics PEQ. I should have asked earlier as the sale ends at midnight. Ill be ordering one of them.
The ZVX Pro, for my ears, are a bit better than the Klean, but I'm sure the SP01 are a LOT better than the Klean. I guess I could sell my Zenith in a lot to justify getting the SP02?? But dang, if this CK2V isn't PRACTICALLY end-game for me [I know this
oh these are in another universe compared to the H20. Sure, the H20 is good, but... haha. not as stunning as these CK2V are. Although I admit, I think the H20 is more of a slow burn for me... one of those sets that sounds better every time you try them. The CK2V was jaw-dropping out of the box. Treble extension and air is just way, WAY better than the H20's. The only way I think someone could think the treble is too much is if they only like DARK IEMs.
Why are they called Mermaid and looks like a deer antlers on the faceplate? weird.
R2E3 is the Colaberator and that's thier logo
Exactly the same tuning.
