Always so invigorating to read articulate reactions to the actual product versus conspiracy theories. Plus stellar pictures!

How did it sound?

Sounds like a cosmos: piuPiupIuwowowwuwuwuuuuuu...

 

[Mr.HiAudio]

about sound guides: sound guides change the sound, although not significantly, but the differences are noticeable.
1) short - neither here nor there, a light, even sound, which reminded me of Shuoer s12;
2) medium - the middle is felt, the bass has gathered a little, the beat is already felt, the treble has become a little more. With this filter, they are remotely similar to Tinhifi P1 Max (specifically in mid);
3) the longest - "the sound of the shortest" + more treble and bass.

On the stage - medium, about 7Hz Timeless.

In general, the ears did not jump higher than all the other planars, but they did not fall face down in the mud either. The sound is closer to Shuoer S12, but the scene is smaller (in S12 it is straight "3rd"), a bit harsh.

The fit in ear is great.

Haven't swapped nozzles/filters yet, but I may just end up using the default "reference" ones.

How do they compare in terms of resolution?

How do they compare in terms of resolution?

at the farthest high frequencies (after about 8 kHz) there is a peak that gives airiness and some pseudo-detail, but you get a little tired of such a sound, it is a little annoying.

and if we simplify some points, then about the same level as Letshuoer S12 and 7Hz without filter.

With a short sound guide, I confess honestly, the detail subsides somewhat, but just a little.

It is also important to understand that the headphones are sensitive to the wire (the stock one gives more treble), and the ear pads (short wide ones give more midrange and bass, long narrow ones give more treble).

Thanks for the detail. Yea I think the resolution of these IEMs actually depend greatly on the cables too.
And I used to find the upper treble a bit annoying before the burn-in and it was fine in lower volume but it's almost gone after 80hrs. I think since the harmonics of the fundemental frequencies of instruments can stretch way beyond the FR of an IEM, it should be beneficial to have more extended upper range like the Kirin.

Oh by the way, try switching gain. With my M8 I find it most revealing in low gain, but there are times when high gain is in favor that the bass and the treble can be more balanced (compressed) in sound pressure so when you increase the volume the treble can get clearer without being too bright.

Not having an easy time with the Kirin today. I don't have the sound dialed in. It's bloated around 100-200hz and has some hot peaky highs.
If the new 7hz doesn't have any of these problems, the Kirin wouldn't be the best budget Planar choice.

Based on Crinacle's graph and AutoEQ from his graph tool, this is what was needed to EQ near Harman 2019 v2:

Those peaks and dips are nuts. That's not a good reference tuning for the price being charged.
The BAX sounds significantly better with this AutoEQ.

So I got kirin yesterday, looked at the tuning nozzles and saw nothing inside. How is it supposed to look inside

Hello

Only mid nozzle does have a mesh

And what inside... the emitter is in translucent plastic, it is difficult to catch the light, but I got this photo

Others have complained about them not coming with filters in the nozzles, and had them subsequently sent out when they complained.

Does mine look good
