the small size fiio hs18 has thunpy bass compared to moondrop spring tips textured bass this is unexpected small size achieving good seal

weirdly the smallest tips achieve good seal for the fiio even though u use large spinfits try the small fiio hs18 a try.

i bought a pack to test as it was on promotion. tinny is the correct word, it makes my bass heavy items sound so mid centric.

i cut the recessed connectors with a fine blade to expose them and they go in flat 0.78mm iems fine though it looks ugly

testing the kz az15 Bluetooth module. sounds very thin and lacks texture in bass, lacks note weight and mediocre mids. certainly a treble centric solution. the soundstage though it sounds wide at first it rather sounds artificially enhanced rather than natural. supports only aptx no aptx hd or...

the mistake that does over and over again with multi driver hybrids is the lack of proper crossover to channel the frequencies to the correct driver. only at higher driving does all the frivers work at an audible range but at lower driving power some drivers in the multi driver congratulations...

i find the moondrop spring tips most comfortable so far soft and not too deep. good enough grip except when it comes to as16 pro that sticks out like an eyesore. stiff cables that retain shape doesn't help either as it wants to uncoil to it's own shape rather than sitting flush. some cables are...

there are no major issues with QC but minor issues like with the way they attach things with glue. i am not sure where do you live but in a tropical country the glue sometimes oozes out and things come loose. not much to replace it of course it's just cheap filters i don't mind, just i don't...

I'm never buying a kz again with filters that fall out for no reason because no metal mesh. now i believe my left ear has a built-in filter because the filter on the left zex pro is missing and I can't find it anywhere... after some time the glue that they use disintegrates a when you reattach...

i have a pair. sounds not too bad but haven't listened to it in a while tbh. too many iems collecting dust as KZ is always up to something and the hype train never ends

i am tying up my hands so i don't type anything.

i beg to differ AS16 Pro sub bass is ample especially with an dongle amp and any single crystal copper cable. and i am using it with treble emphasized tips. it doesn't have the DD dynamic midbass slam but the ample subbass makes up for it. the distance from the sub bass to the mid also...

the w1s look like the spring tips at first glance

now that is a beautiful shell.

From further testing on AS16 Pro (yes i know it's outdated st KZ's pace) it scales pretty well with better quality sources such as SACDlDSD compared to MP3 or AAC or MQA(FLAC). the resolution is definitely there with high quality sources, not just higher powered source equipment. the instrument...

for a moment i was wondering what was going on there lol. might as well. i removed the metallic faceplate and cut out the plastic shell underneath and then super glued the metallic shell back on it does increase the treble energy but it works even better when i polished the brushed metal to a...

that sub bass though. the way it is going up i wonder where it rolls off.

i wonder how will planar sound with just a thin porous mesh,

i think because DD moves faster near the center of the coil and slower near the edges hence the slow bass while planar moves at equal speeds for the entire surface.

most premium iems use this type mesh. i think the structure keeps dirt out well

some are metal mesh with a nylon or paper filter inside. the metal grille is very fine that it repels liquid and dirt while not affecting sound. you can also put a very thin layer of cotton wool on it and fixing the eartip on it to prevent further dirt from going into the original mesh but it...

how about a qtip with diluted isopropyl alcohol to wet it and then followed by a dry qtip to absorb it, all the while the iem facing nozzle down to prevent the liquid from going in.

how does the sub bass compare to a beryllium based dynamic for example?

1 berry and 2 BA is similar to my FIIO FH3, it does sound good especially the deep and quick subbass and unclouded mids and treble.
