I'm not defending Olina or whatever set, whatsoever. I'm just pointing out that Aria (or even moondrop as a whole) was a terrible example. There's good examples for the same price as Olina that have great QC. Etymotic ER2 comes to mind, as an example.
We are all different. The tuning is perfect for some and imperfect for others. We all have different anatomy, different sources, different tips and importantly different likes and dislikes To me the Olina has a perfect tuning....with my setup.
Isolation is also tip dependent. I own both, and even if you get a very good fit and thus seal with the O2, Olina's isolation is slightly better. Neither is going to win awards for isolation. The best isolation I get is with my Aladdin, which is a medium sized semi custom resin shell.
Isolation will not be as good with ported deices, especially those with a front port. It's science, LOL. The vast majority of low/moderate priced DDs will be the same. I think the tuning was done to not perfectly mimic the Tachjims and possibly create some conflict of interest at Linsoul.
On another note. I was a late part of the preorder and still don't have mine. At least it looks like they're somewhere in the US right now but not yet USPS trackable.

This. Generally, BA devices offer better isolation since they usually don't need venting. As soon as you add a large DD, you generally have to vent to prevent it being overdamped. If I need isolation, I use my S8 with comply, nah, I use them a lot anyway.
that was not HBB's decision. He did not agree with it. Some prefer more energy in upper mid (so would prefer stock Olina to O2), but not me. But the double filter mod solves that bad (to me) decision by Tripowin.
Dude just freaking get a different iem if you so adamantly saying it is a problem with the Olina where it is not a problem. It just you don't like the spike that Olina has and every Olina that is out there has the same spike. Some like it, some don't, just move on and stop pressing your "opinion" to others. If your Olina is the only has that spike than maybe you are on to something, but not liking a tuning is a personal matter.
