Here's a Saturday challenge for you all...pick one row:

For me it would be row 12:

12) Traillii, Raven, Amber Pearl, Fei Wan, Supermoon, Annihilator

 

[Deferenz]

I’ve heard 13 of the IEMs in the picture.

Hey man, great to see you here! Ahh, I see, so it’s meant to be more of an at-home IEM? I assume it doesn’t isolate much noise at all. Does it still require an external energizer? Or, is there one integrated into the cable?

Hey I really missed our meetup last time!
It’s can be carried outside just fine. I solation is roughly on par with conventional IEMs as the diaphragms of the MEMS are normally closed at rest. They are only ‘open’ when music is playing allowing air to move back and forth.

The energizer is still standalone, as the integrated solution is still very noisy, not at the dead silent level needed for us audiophiles

Just tried this album of theirs and it mended my soul a little. Thanks

Is this a tidal exclusive? Can't find it on Qobuz.......

Those are gorgeous looking! I assume the honeycomb is venting for the xMEMS driver? I’m assuming it’s dustproof? What connector does it use (on both the IEM side and source side)?

they use normal 2pin, source need 4.4 (not normal bal 4.4 from dap, dac etc, but from their inhouse energizer/diablo X)

Yeah, that’s what I was concerned about. I’d certainly love to have an IEM with an xMEMS tweeter in the future, but I’ll wait ‘til they can integrate it well into the cable. External devices and stack-fi are not for me.

Row 10: Z1R, Rn6 and Odin aligning are all I need. Just sell the rest and put it into my RRSP.

Heard about 12 of them, but judging from the impressions, there's not much I'm missing besides rising prices or pleasant mediocrity.

I am of the same mind except I still want that Amber Pearl. Or the MM while waiting for the AP.

I'm a Jewel owner but I have time to vote for the polls
My pick would be row #8 and #12. Only a fraction of the IEMs on the list that I've tried : Fourte, Elysium, Odin, Jewel, RN6

Hi audioewbi, I actually gave my first impressions here:

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cay...limited-edition.969210/page-124#post-17802996

I am still very impressed by the way the N30LE can drive the hell out of the Traillii Ti making it sound fantastic with the ultra wide sound stage and resolution bringing out the best vocal on any IEM that I have ever heard. As I said they make this small IEM sound like an OTE headphone. The power that the N30LE can deliver to push it even more brings the best out of the Ti bird. But if you like a lush vocal sound and one of the best vocals an IEM can deliver with a complimentary bass look at the Traillii TI.
I'm not sure they have any left though since it was limited to 199 and I understand Jaben HK has stopped selling. Good luck.

Ps More DAP/IEM porn for you

What cable is that?

 

[Steranko]

What cable is that?

I'm using the EA Hades 1 cable. For some reason I like the tone of the EA cables. The one which comes with it is their own but made like a PW Orphy sound, warmer and darker. I just like the sound a bit more brighter and thinner. I prefer a bit more sparkle in the treble.

 

[nhat_thanh]

Yeah, that’s what I was concerned about. I’d certainly love to have an IEM with an xMEMS tweeter in the future, but I’ll wait ‘til they can integrate it well into the cable. External devices and stack-fi are not for me.

Yeah an integrated energizer would be great, I heard Singularity is also working on one of their own and I am looking forward to it as well

However, you won’t be able to cable roll in that case (everyone loves cable rolling, no?) unless it’s a standalone device, which will be at least the size of 4.4mm dongles these days or even larger as you would need to house 2 female 4.4mm sockets inside (why are they so big in the first place? )

So in the end it’s a question whether we are stuck with 1 single cable or we can utilize all the equipments we have at our disposal. We opt for the latter and try to reduce the size of the energizer at the same time

The DC bias voltage required by MEMS speakers is one whole story of its own I will save for another time!

I'm here to shill my review again, this time of the IE 600. I really wanted to like them, but those terrible stock accessories + treble spice is just a tragic combination. Kinda wild that Sennheiser has gone like a decade without fixing their cables and tips.

Anyway, let me know what y'all think of the review. I'm looking to finally review the rest of my stuff, so any feedback is appreciated. Also let me know if you find tips for the IE 600 that actually seal and get rid of the treble issues.

 

[DaveStarWalker]

Row #4

Row #6

Then... row #2

Difficult...

Out of curiosity, when you talk about “midrange scoop”, which frequency range are you talking about?

I don’t remember midrange problem with IE600. It’s just a Harman-like IEM with more midbass and treble. I was lucky because I have no seal problem with stock accessories. But the technical performance of these doesn’t quite justify the price to me. Would love to get one if they are much cheaper. The form factor is a rarity in this day and age.
