Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 1)

Crystal doesn’t appear to be their flagship though, maybe he got the top tier one on sale or something.

It is funny how our tolerance varies between individual for such annoying stuff.
-Microphonic will drive me insane instantly
-Driver Flex? I find it funny and it doesn’t bother me at all

It’s called Hybrid I believe

Yes I pm’ed the seller on AE and offered $200. He agreed as it seems the iem was not getting sold.

This?

Can you compare it to other 300usd bracket iems?

Has anyone graphed it?

Definitely, apart from any price bracket, In my opinion this iem is the one I enjoy the most.

Here is a graph vs Melee for reference

Thanks. That 1.5k hz dip kills my library tho, but the rest looks good.

Lucky I have two sets, I graphed the new one at first and it did sound little off with the guitars… so I did the graph for the old set (right side also) and they are different…

Definitely QC issues or a BA is not working in the new one (right side only)

Updated graph… the green is the new one btw… too close to mele’s tonality :wink:

HBB’s way of saying this looks bad… “Looks interesting”.

2nd graph looks better.
If they can control QC that looks like it has potential
1st graph was “interesting” :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

You have a library with guitars and vocals?
How are the harmonics?
Any odd timbre or harshness?

1 Like

I listen to any genres (except metal) and mostly listen to new playlists on tidal or Spotify.

The iems does not have any harshness whatsoever. They might be odd to someone with trained ears… but they sound good to me.
btw, the sub-bass is a killer on those.

Now to Chinese New Year is the biggest season for Chifi so i might grab a set to get infront of a potential wave and to hear it and put the graph in my database, listen to it compared to others in it’s range.
I appreciate the heads up :+1:

Not sure if related, but for anyone waiting for 11/11 to grab a custom MEST, Andrew from MusicTeck confirmed that there won’t be a discount on CIEMs, there probably never is

He cannot do with U.M. becuse U.M. sets the price and discount.
I cannot remember if he ran sales along the 11/11 period?

Not sure, but there will be a Black Friday one.
Sidenote: that guy’s incredibly helpful and kind, shoutout to Andrew
