Toranku's Thoughts and Reviews (and target EQ filters!)

About damn time to settle down brother.

about damnnn time feels good that i finally pull a trigger on a correct set for me to stop finding more.

Just to add more sweets on Tork's M9 impressions, I can see myself ending up my game very soon with my M9. Very happy how scary balance this set is. Go see my iem inventory own/owned/returned/demo and M9 is the best overall.

Same, it's one of the only IEMs I don't desire anything more from.

M9 is just too overlooked. Less hype not sure why. The sound is so amazingly balance.

From my experience, the M9 has the most neutral (in a good way) sound signature of all the IEMs I’ve tried. And on top of that it retains rich timbre and above average soundstage. Only my preference leaned toward having more punchy dynamics and more forward mid-range (out of the WM1A). However the N6ii (A01) pairing fixed a lot of those issues I was having.

sourced of apple dongle or s10plus currently so far. Doesnt have much time with other sources yet, will do balance on 9038s later this weekend; xcan, es100 etc. So, far the midrange is really good with vocals being so airy and realism. The tonality is the best from BA ive heard so far. Scary how perfect M9 sounds that fit my preference.

Probably less hyped because the Z1R got released not long after. (Wrongly) gets middle child treatment I think? It’s a good IEM.

but ier z1r is basically different tuning.

I agree - the Z1R should be considered separate from the M7/M9. However, when you get three product releases by the same brand in a short period of time, people are going to lump them together.

I see a lot of "expensive is better" attitudes, especially in my local audio community, so it's not that surprising to see the middle-priced M9 be underrated.

the "expensive is better" attitudes is really bad to me. It's okay at least ive found this holy grail

Never heard them but when you look at the measures, it does have a strange familly taste...

This is where fr doesnt show everything game.

Ha ha, at least it shows the close frequency response...
Of course it won't sound the same, just saying it's not as basically as you are saying

Not sure what are u saying but they are totally different in real life.

@toranku Do you recommend the Z1R for any use case vs alternatives? Also how does your SH3 compare to the M9?

Z1R has a unique v-shaped signature. I find it's mids to be the bottleneck since its just...unimpressive next to the high resolution bass and treble. I cant think of things that sound somewhat similar to the Z1R other than the sony stuff like z5 and n3. I haven't AB'd SH3 to M9 yet..
