Somebody tried to Zen with Aune B1?

 


Aune B1 is a very decent amp, but  as a 320ohm high z earbud, B1 is not even better than the breeze e11 (for zen).


 


I have fans tried b1 out , similar to what we get from fiio e12 , the breeze has more power but less detail, while e12 and b1 has more details but less power, overall ,the breeze can deliver a better exp than both b1 and e12 when comboed with Zen.


 


But certainly for pretty much any other can/ earbud/ iem, b1 and e12 will deliver a overall superior exp, as breeze e11 does not have a low-high gain setting.


 


the official in-house set , will try to cover both, but as we are still working on the final details, no promises can be made for the time being. 

 


 


Cheers

Especially for those who do not hear the difference between Zen and other Ear Buds, advise hear Friends of Carlotta - Live in Studio. Not hear the difference of Zen impossible, IMHO.

I thought about that, but it would just be the biggest tease ever.  Seeing how awesome they sound, then sending them away.
 
..

At the very least you will know if the earbud will be a good fit for you but trust me, it would be a glorious 10 days Totally worth it, go for it! I have the same feeling, I am not looking forward to sending them off next week haha. 
 
 
Also Asura and Shakira make an awesome combination! Been listening to some of her old tracks and her vocals sound really good through the Asuras. If the betas are this capable, retail version should be dope! I will admit, that the beta unit has more bass than the Zens and I tuned it down a bit with my E17, sounds pretty good after a slight bass reduction. I have a feeling the final asura has had a bass cut as well so it wont need any eq (I hope)

I agree about the bass in excess of VE Asura.

I'm not going to say that I like the Asura's bass. Nope, not gonna do it!

Golov's tip about using those super thin donut foams from HieGi a while back works alright. Probably because it's too thin to fully cover the ports in the housing. Otherwise I just use thicker, full cover foams. 
The best solution I've found though is to just switch to the Zen 

. But it's not too bad... it's interesting to have something different around. The few other bass monster buds I have are nowhere near as good. That's what's keeping me from just giving away my beta asura to some head-fier at least, so Lee was right about it making sense to include it.

I love it too! I am all about the bass actually. I tried to listen to it with no EQ, and I adjusted to it. Really good for top 40 music!

Hi All,
 
During last weekend, I happened to had a enjoyable time to listen to music. Especially and specifically only with (what i called..) the beast of my earbuds. Too bad I don't have Blox TM7, and my MX985 is still on the way from Germany. Below are my personal review for VE Asura and Zen compare to Sennheiser MX980 and Yuin PK1.
 
 
Soundstage:
MX980 > Zen > Asura > PK1
 
For me, no doubt that MX980 is the king for Soundstage (amped or unamped). 
 
Vocal:
PK1 > Zen > MX980 > Asura
 
As of my last review (few pages before), still unchanged. I found that PK1 vocal is more forward compare to others here. The others put the vocal more in the center of the show. 
 
Bass:
Zen > Asura > MX980 > PK1
 
I love how this VE's bass' sound!! They just so perfect, and kind of make the music 'alive' (hard to describe it.. LOL). I can hear the sound of bass-pedal hitting the bass-drum very clearly.
 
High:
Zen > PK1 > Asura > MX980
 
All seems have no lack in this area, no roll-off. But Zen have a little bit sweetness and fun. While PK1 is more to as-it-is.
 
Built quality:
MX980 > Zen > Asura > PK1
 
Well.. nothing more to say. I think you guys already know and may see it with your own eyes... Feel with your hands, etc.
 
Overall musicality (Jazz, female-male vocal, instrument etc.):
Amped: Zen > Asura > PK1 = MX980
 
For me (maybe not for all of you), every music needs a bit of bass. Even vocal or acapella will not shine or 'sing' without the presence of bass. While PK1 is just have 'enough' bass, VE's live it. 
 
Unamped: MX980 > Asura > PK1 = Zen
 
No doubt, Zen and PK1 need an amp to shine. While MX980 is already shine without one. Asura is only a little-bit better to PK1 & Zen if unamped.
 
Overall Musicality (Rock, Metal, EDM etc.)
Amped: Zen > Asura > MX980 > PK1
 
This is where VE's shine. Bass that kickin' and rockin'... without eliminating other aspects like details, separations and soundstage. It's just so complete.
 
Unamped: Asura > MX980 > Zen > PK1
 
Same explanation as stated above (Unamped: MX980 > Asura > PK1 = Zen). The difference is I listened a better bass-impact and better detail in Asura for this kind of music, compare to MX980.
 
 
 
Note:
Again, this is my personal review with my own ears. With same gears used as my previous review. Only, now I add more songs to compare. Including Metallica & several classic Rock music, various Trance Music, various New Age music, etc.
 
 
Thank you again Lee, nice to have these earbuds. Love them very much!!

Mate, you're mental.

Are you a psychiatrist? What are you doing on this forum about the music?
