Bogden drawing you back in with Bellos

This is rad! I love FiR! Glad to know I’ll be in good hands with Bellos

No worries at all, I was just teasing with you. Thank you for the detailed info. I’m going to send them an email

In all fairness, I have been known to tease, so it was probably well deserved.

I love hunting for nerdy audio accessories to solve ‘problems’ in this hobby. I find at times when I need to put my IEMs down for a few minutes or so that they might slide on the surface beside my desktop - not anymore, bought some non slip mats and a wooden serving tray to position whatever IEM is on duty on… a relatively cheap audio fix that makes me very happy Oh and CDs via my desktop via MEST =

It's a great idea. In fact, I usually carry my gear from room to room on these trays. Then I can put the trays, with gear on them, right into the shelves in my storage cabinet.

This is great, I use trays also. Very convienient and easy to carry. I also like that I can slide it across a hard surface i.e. my desk to position where it is best or when switching gear, etc.

I’m pretty reluctant to share my impressions, because I don’t put any effort and I don’t even like reading detailed impressions myself. So I’d still suggest asking Chang, I believe he will be happy to share his insights. From my quick listen, Blue Hour seems to render a more controlled sound, particularly in the higher mids (?). Bass wise I don’t seem too hear a lot of difference, though this may change since I’ve only used Blue Hour for less than an hour. I don’t think it needs pointing out that putting aside subjective hearing and sensory perceptions, the type of gear and consequent synergies in the chain make a substantive difference. I don’t know whether I have the Vanguard 2w or 4w (this is a temporary borrow, pending completion of my Blue Hour), but I suspect it’s the former. But do I prefer Blue Hour? Yes, esp since I also listen to Asian vocals, so I really like when nuances and the enunciation come out clearer.

may i ask what case it that ? has a lovely patina to it.

Thank you so much

I’m now quite interested in this set!!

Edit: do they offer universal? I see that it’s custom only but they show them with ear tips?

Reading up on it, they seem to do a custom fit for the concha but otherwise it's still using eartips? And the fit would be more akin to traditional eartips as it doesn't go past the second bend in the canal? Weird system.

Yeah very interesting.... Thank you for the information.

I guess it makes sense in a way. I've had a couple of customs from over 5 years ago that fits me still by the concha but now can't keep a seal in the canal. Which is why I only stick to universals these days.

Very elegant! I use a laundry basket to transport my mobile collection from room to room…

Sorry about that!

In my rush to post several posts at once, I forget to mention that it's the Bellos Audio X4. And surprisingly, in a reversal of ever increasing price points, it's the same price as the original UERM at just under a kilobuck.

Interesting.... until reading about the propietary RCX cable connectors...

Based on recommendations from you guys, my Noble Ragnar CIEM is in the making.

I agree on the MAD24’s. I heard them in 2022 and 2023 and did not care for them. They were simply not in the class of the top IEMs for me.

Wow.
I don’t understand at all.
I understand if some of you heard an older version from 2018 (I didn’t but seen some measurements).
Maybe I’m deaf. That must be it.
Or a difference between UIEM and CIEM.
Idk.
