Could you share if you were stopped at customs in Spain, and if so, how much did you have to pay? Thanks and best regards.
Hi everyone. Have anyone had a chance to try Monarch or Clairvoyance with iSine cipher cable? Having Monarch on my way, I am contemplating the easiest way to connect it to my phone... Any advice welcomed!
Cheers!I recommend you to try Qudelix 5k.
Cheers!
I have radsone already, and I hate it being connected to phone by cable, it becomes unwieldly. I like the cipher cable though, with its own eq and no bulky box somewhere aling the cable though...
Radsone does the same thing, though I hugely prefer cable connection.That is precisely the good thing about the qudelix, which works by bluetooth and you do not have to connect it to the mobile. And it has a parametric equalizer that works wonders.
I have had that idea in the past, but the position of the cipher cable is what I believe is an issue. For the Monarch ( I’m also waiting for them), you need the cable to pass behind your ears and to be shaped like that.Hi everyone.

Yeah, you are probably right, the connectors seems long and rigid to get tucked behind ones ears comfortably... okay, i will have to look for a n aaw capri cable then...I have had that idea in the past, but the position of the cipher cable is what I believe is an issue.

But please, If you get to do it let us know!!
Hi!!Yeah , i was also skeptical about burn in until i baught the IMR Opus Mia, i had heard a lot about IMR iems being subject to burn in. The changes i noticed during the process was huge with them . But i haven't noticed much difference with my other iems including the Clairvoyance after 50 hours or so ,i wad wondering if i should go on with burn in or not. That's why i asked. Anyway i appreciate your input .
And for you which has wider, depth and taller soundstage between monarch and s8?few simple comparison with other IEM:
1. QDC anole vx. The tone, clarity and precision is like 1 or 2 levels above the twins. I think the vx is like combination of both, but with almost 3 times the pricing. fits and comfort are perfect, shell is smaller than the thie twins. only question, is it worthed almost 3 times the price? It depends on you. In my opinion, no. Maybe if its 1.5-2x times the pricing, I can still accept it.
2. moondrop S8. This iem sounds like the monarch, very technical, precise. However, the tone is very thin and not enough bass body. It depends with someone taste, but in my opinion, the monarch is better than the s8. It got almost the same clarity, precision, yet the monarch got more body and deeper more bodied bass.
3. Moondrop B2. This iem is not as technical and precise as the s8, but it got more body and bass. compared to the twins, I think it depends on your budget. if you are tight, go with the B2. I think it sounds like the clair, not on the same level but not far either.
4. inear 8 (forgot the name again). Kinda like the vx, but with thinner body and cheaper. Its still more expensive than the twins, almost 2 times the pricing. I think not worthed over the monarch.
5.hifiman re2000 gold. I dont know if i cant get a perfect fit or the btr5 can't drive it properly or its broken, but the sound is very thin and not pleasant at all. tried to move it around my ears, but the sound is still not right.
From memory, i think the s8. Its more airy, but got even thinner tonality than the monarch. However, the size is not much different. the monarch have a decent size stage for an iem.And for you which has wider, depth and taller soundstage between monarch and s8?
Hi!!
Excuse me bro. For you between Mia and Clairvoyance, which has better:
1.-details in bass, mids, highs,
2.- better extension to high frequencies,
3.- clean and clear sound
4.- natural timbre
5.- wider soundstage?
I would like to buy one but I dont know wich to buy... help please
Yeah, you are probably right, the connectors seems long and rigid to get tucked behind ones ears comfortably... okay, i will have to look for a n aaw capri cable then...
