Tia Forte were quite bright. V-shaped. This is the first.
It would be good. Because the humming of the bass is not what I expected to hear from IEMs for the price of the original Fourte.
From the point of view of a pure planar IEM, now there are only one planar IEM, listening to which it is not necessary to discount the fact that they are planar IEMs, the rest play even worse.
The hype is real. I got to get me one of these.Victim of the hype train
Got the Turii Ti after waiting for quite some weeks. Sharing very early impressions.
First: These don't sound like they graph. Or to put it in other words, they are not as wonky as you would except, if at all. They sound quite balanced. They for sure have treble energy and upper mids, but they get balanced out tastefully by the mid bass. I was very worried about that mid bass, that elevates the graph into very high altitudes. But it's not boomy at all. It gives the sound a very natural timbre which also somehow remindes me of the Traillii. I would even say, it's the most natural timbre I heard in an IEM after the Traillii. Mids are forward but definitely in my tolerance range. Treble is extended and energetic, at times not the cleanest.
It's hard to describe, but it's a natural energetic listen and at the same time it sometimes feels laid back
It's also clear for me, that these excel in multiple genres. Although unlike the Traillii, I find tracks here and there that I don't like with the Turii Ti. Especially if the track demands a very clean and distinct treble presentation to sound good.
The bass is also nice. Again, different than the graph. I was expecting no subbass and boomy mid bass. But actually I have enough subbass. Mid bass doesn't make the sound boomy as written before. It has nice DD decay. It's surely not the fastest IEM out there. Detail retrieval is decent.
Overall I would also compare them to ZMF headphones. Not sound wise, but they are very natural, not the most detailled but definitely enough and at the same time they excel at long term listening without fatigue.
I think I'll wait for the Fourte Rouge then, don't have too many 3Ks to throw around for every limited paint job, you see....
Very nice conclusion on the synergy, David, as many of the cables are truly great; just not in the configuration you used.
I hope you ever have the chance to hear the Acoustune HS2000MX: Single DD (check!), gorgeous mids (check!), and too bright for me without being aggressive (check!) may mean it's fantastic for you.
Everything is subjective. IMHO, while I do like and appreciate the Fourte, it and Noir are not in the same class as Jewel, UM, Traillii to name a few.
Agreed. I like the sound of this but it is not detailed enough for me.Victim of the hype train

Agree
on your insights on Ragnar… it is brill for vocals and instrumental for me, but the treble gets too enhanced without sufficient bass quantity for metal - that results in a less than satisfying session, when compared to LX, KK or Ody.
Are you saying Ragnar has less bass than KK and Sultan while being brighter than both? That probably wouldn't cut it for me unless the mids are truly spectacular. Can't remember if you have had Sultan though. Tnx...Agree
