Conversational Pieces (2025), Boldy James

This is Boldy's sixth full-length of 2025. A Detroit rapper who is doing some seriously (IMO) inventive hip-hop, Boldy James is killing it right now. Dude is on a serious roll and is easily my favorite artist of 2025. This release is good. But so are the other five he's released this year.

Love that you’re separating this into two threads makes it easier to dive into both the gear and music.

It's how I listen. Half of my brain is totally absorbed by the tunes. The other half focuses on the gear. The holy grail is to find the gear that makes me forget about the gear and only think about the music!

I bought poweramp lately and have been experimenting with proper parametric eq-ing as opposed to eyeballing it on a stock eq.

this has actually confirmed for me that I don't want to upgrade from this iem any time soon as the fit, comfort and tonality are just fine
