So thick! As @o0genesis0o said, a little like the garden hose, hahahaha..but nice looking cable nonetheless

Indeed looks great!!

Not yet bro, received for a few days and this is a prototype. I will save up and buy the final version with Term X and ConX.

You must be VIP enough for EA to send you prototype

Btw, last time your sig mentioned saving for U12t. I see that it has been upgraded to Odin

Last year I have auditioned a lot of top-tier stuff man. My priorities are set at EE Odin/Aroma audio Jewel+Oriolus Trailli. One between Odin and Jewel, and Trailli is fixed. May take me some years to go for them, but they are the true end game for me(with all the experience I have had to date). Odin and Jewel are very close in performance yet they are having a huge difference in price. Obviously, the Jewel is better but is it worth that much money difference? I will audition again before pulling the plug on either of them.

Also, I am not a VIP man, a friend of mine got it, so I requested him to share the prototype with me for a few days. This prototype will go back to Effect Audio.

Ordered one, been on cable spree lately. Even if the IEM is lack luster the cable makes up for some of it.

If I'm not wrong it's Hakugei Peace 2C with modular connections, who knows after testing maybe I give them to my wife who loves purple and keep the cable myself

For fast metal music, as a drummer & Japanese rhythm game addicts,
, you may want to try Truthear HEXA $79.

Very very satisfying IEM great for that genre.

Here are some fast progressive & metal tracks that I love to play, if you have same taste with mine, you probably may find HEXA very amusing.

I had dragonforce’s thruough the fire and storms, but I didn’t record it

Fast melodic metal:


Fast melodic metal2:


Fast progressive rock:

dude, I love GFDM from the first series until recent gitadora

I'm not a big fan of orchestra, but i'm trying to atleast have a decent knowledge about them. If i hear the rest of orchestra sitting behind me (meaning string is upfront) is that a good thing? Or i have to turn my face 180°? I have to sleep but i keep thinking about it, do i really have to turn my iem sideway or something ?

In an orchestra the strings are normally in front, then the woodwind, then the brass and finally at the back is the percussion.

Sad, i hoped this will be bassy like the it00

It's not. Its bass quality is better than IT00's, and at least on par with IT07, but bass quantity is lower.

Much gratitude for getting a hold of this and posting comments.
Single DD, no? Run it in some. Likely some at least minor tuning changes to follow.

Yes, it's a single DD. I am planning on giving it some burn-in time to see if it changes.

Also interested in this one as I am a big fan of their cables. Well actually I just asked for the FR of it:


and it comes with this cable:

So the cable is more expensive than the IEM...interesting bundle.

The shape from 1k to around 3k reminds me of the CRA. The graph alone looks competent. I'm intrigued.

Acceptable bass shelf for me around +6db at 100hz (my tolerance actually +5db at 100hz) but have punch and rumble below that, and nice pinna gain quantity too for me, and last the extension at 14khz is good. What bothering me is the 200hz area and the 7khz need more dip. But overall, quite nice tuning.
Hakugei makes great cables, seriously, even though I'm not enthusiast cable believer.
Think of buy cable, free IEM rather than buy IEM and got free cable like usual.

 

[FranticPhil]

This FR graph look almost too good for a single DD especially from a company straight with no history of tuning or making own IEMs. I would take that graph with a grain of salt.

Hi folks,

I heard you don't like teasing. So here are some teasers.

Edit: remember how FH5s has a deadly treble that puts a metallic tint on the tonality? Fiio is confident enough to put the treble filter on the IEMs by default this time.

Intrigued, more impressions and pictures please

More tact sharp imaging than JD7.

Thinner but very correct / reference sounding midrange.

Subbass can shake your head off just like latest FH series IEMs. Cello has texture and rumble. The bass punch is not neglected.

The semi open design is gone, yet the soundstage feels even larger (but not as open, if that makes sense to you). I suspect massive air boost like 64 Audio, or the recently released Fiio FW5.

No sibilance even with Ed Sheeran, yet treble is not muted or dead.

In general, I like this more than Blessing 2 easily. Against JD7? Tricky. I need to test FH15 more to tear it apart (figurative of course).

Edit: the midrange feels “BA”. It’s crisp, clear, but lack the “elasticity” or “bouncy” feeling of DD that I have been listening nonstop for a couple months (JD7 + flathead earbuds)

Edit: fit

I recommend switching to the included HS18 tips immediately. Easier to get good seal.

I think how it is gonna sound depends also on the speed at different frequencies so I only look at the extensions and peaks and troughs when looking at a FR anyway. Looks fine to me.

This FR graph look almost too good for a single DD especially from a company straight with no history of tuning or making own IEMs. I would take that graph with a grain of salt.

I have some faiths in them as they are able to describle the sound of the cables (if you are a believer) quite accurately so I assume they know about tuning stuffs. Granted I will still wait for reviews first as I don't need another budget IEM yet. I guess it's gonna sound good but ok-ish in technicality.
