Dang that was me yesterday… I’ll see what I can do about it.
EDIT: I was able to cancel. Should come a day earlier too

@rattlingblanketwoman @ctjacks336 for the price of under a hundo, I think you’ll be really pleasantly surprised!

All the talk @Sonofholhorse has been doing on this set has me super duper intrigued…. Interesting!

Purely going by the numbers then yes, most of the portables out there can easily drive this. But the scalability of it is off the charts. Its an endless pit.

That’s a really good deal if someone is looking to get an IEM that doesn’t grab your attention too much while working or doing other things. I’m using it mostly when I work.

I was curious about how these compare to the Galileo’s. They seem to have somewhat similar tuning in the relaxed area, according to the graphs and from listening impressions that I have read. Just wondering if you had one, would the other be redundant.

Same. Would love to know this.
I enjoyed the Galileo but thought there wasn’t enough extension at either end. The music “lived in the middle” a bit too much, and the upper mids were shouty.
I don’t need a magnifying glass – I enjoy relaxed tuning. But the Galileo was too tame, too safe. Not enough bass texture or treble detail.

I already factored in the so called “scalability” in this calc with the 20db headroom…

The Dunu S&S tips (to my ears) smoothed the treble a bit, added a smidge more detail and also gave it some slight extension in air. I thought they were “okay” with the previous Letshuoer stock tips but found a better pairing with the Dunu.
I still have this set and like listening to it from time to time. I find the tuning to be like putting on your comfy chill clothes to bum around the house with.

Most extra bassy sets tend to take at least a light V. Currently my bassy sets are the Dark Phoenix and the VE Bonus IE, both go up at the high mid end to compensate. Curious about such an L shaped graph and if it can displace the DP. The ISN EST50 is one of the most L shaped in my memory, and I did like those.

I was randomly looking at that set last night🤙

I found the treble on the Galileo to be way more present. In my head the Hexa and Galileo are way closer to each other.
This is a great description.
I always found the Galileo great for gaming, but it has solid imaging, and it wasn’t too much of anything.

Bass-boosted IEMs often end up with a V-shaped sound signature for various technical reasons. Manufacturers boost both the bass and treble frequencies to the right perceived balance so that there is a crisp sound without becoming muddy or dark. This tuning also counteracts what is known as the “masking” effect, which raised bass can have on midrange frequencies—user preferences often lean toward loudness and dynamics. Besides, dynamic drivers naturally bring out the bass a lot, and increasing the treble compensates for that. Psychoacoustic factors also play a role. Like the reduction of midrange relative to the amount of bass and treble so the sound is more enjoyable and less tiring for long stretches.

You just described SM4 
Nah! I didn’t like the SM4 at all. Although I like my mids forward without too much bass and treble but I do appreciate a nicely tuned V. SM4 was not.

Bloated, boxy kind of bass presentation, could’ve done much better with the kind of driver configuration, waste potential
By these calculators, HD600 can run at 14mw with 2 Vrms
2.5vrms and 20mW for 90db (+20db headroom) so it certainly does need a lot more than the average.
however, how many people use 90db average volume?
Cuz if you just lower it a little bit to 85db (+20db headroom) you just need
1.38vrms and 6.3mW, so as long as you go over the apple dongle tier, anything can drive this.

That’s what I was saying brother. Music doesn’t work this way. You can learn about “Crest Factor”.
Plus 2.4 Vrms is nothing in HD600, like it sounds like paper vibration.
