Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 2)

Yeah, I know. I have followed your channel for a while now. More than 2 years maybe. Since my early cheap IEMs died or just bored out of them and wanted a better one. And bought the Zetian OG mainly because of your review. I still have it, it’s still one of the best planars.

The person who said they make drivers for Knowles, is full of ****
https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/cxqlje/knowles_files_claim_with_us_trade_commission_to/

Knowles sued Bellsing and former employees who stole patents and manufacturing equipment and Knowles won that suit.

Knowles has production facilities in China and do not need an OEM.

“Custom” BA’s are ripoffs of Knowles with less Quality assurances and standards.
Ask that guy to produce a certified contract.
If they had that they would show it.
They won’t cuz they are full of shit
“Custom” usually = cheapest ones we could find :point_left:


OEM for Knowles?

Been meaning to ask (if you don’t mind) your impressions on the Cascara? Haven’t seen too much about it and it’s another I’d like to demo when I can. Worthy of putting on the 1DD radar? Thanks :pray:

The cascara is big bass, thick sounding with very natural mids and treble that has good extension I had to use tangzu TangSanCai tips to thin the signature and tighten the bass for my taste. I very much enjoy it.

As an aside Ive just got the the Nicehck Himalaya and that has a very intoxicating mix of big thick bass with clean natural mids and good treble for quite a bit less money and they’re titanium

Thanks for your work, sir!

BTW, Scarlet Mini arrived (demoing them) and holy shit the sub bass is insane. It is very close/borderline outside of my threshold but now I’m super curious about the Maestro Mini now.

You say the hill’s too steep to climb
(Chiding)
You say you’d like to see me try
(Climbing)

You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I’ll climb
The hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you said today

And when you reminisce,
thinkin’ how you got dissed
Remember how it felt and then remember this
Be true to you,
believe that there’s no one bigger
'Cause they can all suck dick,
it’s strictly for my niggas
