@Dsnuts : any comparison between eagle MEAOES and Fan 2 ?

Fan2 is much more neutral in presentation has more forward mids presentation especially lower mids and the Eagle is more v shaped IEM excellent for energetic genres. Rock Metal, EDM and such. More bass impact and rumble and has more in the upper mids gain over the Fan2, Clarity detailed techncial with good punch and rumble is what the Eagles are or a more energetic tuning. Fan2 is more even handed in its balancing and is excellent for acoustic and vocal music, orchestral and the like. They actually compliment each other in the way they are tuned.

Speaking of which. Fan2 I recently did a review for. Any of you guys interested in the latest Penon Iem here is my review of em. Fantastic neutral set.

Interesting. I will put them on my shopping list. When you mentioned these "dongles" the other day, I imagined they are like Apple dongle, not these little adorable thingy

My bad mate, should've call it adapter.

SOME NEW RELEASES:


1) TRN Xuan Wu

In terms of namesake, it sounds like a pirated Tangzu Zetian Wu. However, in driver tech, it mimics the Gumiho Celeste Square Planar driver + BA config.

Let's see if it will be a worthy competitor in the Square Planar driver game.

The shell design is very beautiful!

NF Audio has a new IEM, the RA10







6 mm microdynamic driver.

Seems to be 309 RMB, which is roughly 40ish USD.

Just released on Taobao currently, don't see it on Aliexpress yet, maybe soon.

When you said we got toilet bowl with new CCA, this one especially the white one looks like the whole closed toilet with flush button on top

Can someone tell me how is the MEAOES pronounced? @Dsnuts can you help?

MEE Os ? Kinda like ME with Toes but without the T? Stands for multiple experiences or something to that. Could be a new hip catch frase.

Gonna have a Meaoes type of night! Lol.

It's clearly pronounced 'Meows', because there aren't enough cat-themed IEMs in the market.

Is there any IEM that have tuning like salnotes zero but have better build quality?

Heart Mirror if you don't have it. Not exactly same but fairly similar to Salnotes Zero

Just before you decide to buy your 11.11 modular cable, read my impressions on six modular cables, and share your experience and impressions of modular cables.

I can't unsee that now!

Even if it's great I'd still think of it as "crappy".

Hi folks,

Follow up on the JD7.

Firstly, look at that beautiful channel matching (raw measurement, no smoothing). Let me remind you that these are single DD, not multi-BA. (The 8k peak is the artefact of my 711 coupler. The IEM does have 8k emphasise for treble sparkle, but not that much).


Now, let's verify Fiio's claim of Harman target:


Yup, close enough with around 3db deviation entering around 250Hz (the "punch" region nope, wrong, 250hz is the "warmth" or "mud" region. Punch is 125hz.). The ear-gain is slightly pulled back as well, so I did not hear shoutiness. And look, finally Fiio gets rid of the 5k ice pick. I am pleased to report that sibilance is very well controlled, even with Ed Sheeran's equals album (boy that album is spicy).

One last thing, are you ready for surprise? Have a look: JD7 vs Blessing 2 vs Crinacle IEF target.


Early, out-of-box verdict about tuning: very well-done. Vocal sounds full, clear, detailed, and just beautiful with this IEM. I went through some old Bon Jovi's hit and I kept going and going with a dummy grin on my face.

More graph can be found on my database (https://iegems.nk-tran.com/)

@ChristianM: this IEM might be what you are looking for.

Important note on source: I did the entire listening with Hidizs XO (pre-production unit). Think of it as a slightly more resolving but slightly less powerful S9 Pro. The special thing about Hidizs dongle is that they "round off" the treble and increase the soundstage depth. With the support of XO, JD7 (and other "well-tuned" IEMs like Blessing 2) have a stronger sense of space and depth and less shoutiness.

Out of curiosity, I switched back to KA3, which is bright, detailed, and kind of flat in presentation. My reaction:


Shouty, kind of harsh, and the worst of all: 2D soundstage. Same with Aria, same with Blessing 2, same with other "well-tuned" IEMs. Maybe something wrong with my ears? That's why I don't usually like "well-tuned" stuffs

You came in clutch bro! Looking at this for the 11.11 sale! hahaha

Hey, it’s you, the “tanchjim OLA for gaming” guy . I’m listening to the FF8 album with JD7 and my AP80 Pro X now. Nothing to complain at all, except the ugly cable. I might buy a replacement cable for it.

I see a couple of mentions for the new iKKo OH5 here - as a massive fan of single DDs, I've taken the plunge and ordered with a small review discount... very excited to hear it.

Looking forward for your impressions about its soundstage. Ikko makes some bold claims there ("embed home theatre into IEM")

Yes indeed, marketing claims vs reality are always interesting!

I wait for the day when you'll finally listen to a 634EARS iem.
