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.

You couldn't be more wrong! AP, Fei Wan, Storm, Trifecta, and others, this is the best of the best! I want to hear the rest even if I think I've heard the best.

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.

I remember them having a fairly neutral lower-midrange (relative to the treble) when I tried them. ‘Gave them that slightly higher-pitched, light, wispy sorta sound.

I don't quite know the exact frequencies, since I don't have a mic to make measurements, but it was mostly the lower mids and middle(?) mids. I really do think that this is at least partially result of the tips I used making them even more treble-y (and perhaps bassier) than stock. Probably made the scoop sensation more obvious than stock, which matches up with what I remember of the stock tips.

Like @Deezel177 says, sort of wispy and light in the mids.

But yeah, it's unfortunate that the great form factor is locked behind meh technicalities and (for me) bad accessories. Maybe if it was ~$400, but I bought like $200 worth of tips and cables and could probably buy more before finding the perfect ones. And they're definitely not $1k+ sound quality, since it's not like kilobuck stuff is so horribly uncomfortable.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but could anyone let me know if its worth it to sell the legend x for the nightjar singularity. I just find vocals a bit odd on the legend x sometimes and im a bit treble sensitive for it as well as the shell beign a bit big for my ears. Im wondering if the Singularity would be a good replacement because of these reasons without sacrificing technicality? Thanks!

If you had to pick 1 of the 36, which IEM would be your favorite? Exclude anything you may own.

Traillii

 

[CharlyBrown]

Every row got at least 1 vote except 8 and 11. Probably because all the Jewel owners are too busy floating around in bliss to be arsed to do polls like this.

Made my day

#12 for me as well.

Tie between Dita Perpetua and Jewel. Perpetua has better timbre and the best bass I have heard among DD IEMs. Not overdone, just the perfect amount of decay. Jewel has that perfect blend of technical prowess and tonality. Both are immediately easy to listen to which I seek in an IEM/Headphone first and foremost. I will not have to constantly convince myself that I have made a good purchase with these two.

I own 15 of these, plus a few others, and I think I'm pretty much set with my collection. If I had a larger wallet I'd probably add a few more though..., e.g. Storm, Raven, Fei Wan, Aura. Of those I’d probably pick Storm if I had to name one IEM outside of my present collection.

Man,,, I really wanted the Aura and EXT together haha

My current top 2

But if I had to pick it would have to be the 2nd row.

Ronin, EXT, Phonix LE, IER-Z1R, U18t, and Raven.

This is quite a “balanced” line up haha

 

[mgsu]

Can you guys explain this?

Whats about this Mobile_Radio process draining 10% battery.

I searched all apps and system apps because i wanted to kill the process because it has nothing to do with WiFi but i could not find the process on the device.

Very concerning.

Does anyone has a clue?
