Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews (A Million views?) Part 3/4

Man, you always remind me of my Grandpa. I think you’re a granpa as well. I saw Sivga Que in Paul wasabii’s vid. I took the kima2. It definitely sounds good with 1 filter in 10k region. Kima2 is very natural sounding.

Should’ve took Que in these sales. I’ll wait for winter sale. But it genuinely seems like I’ll enjoy Que. I enjoy what you enjoy. You liked Kailua, I also love Kailua.

I know. I’ve seen him, his stocks post made me solid money as well. And hos iem collection is solid. I’ve been a lurker for a while

It’s just that I had lost interest in this hobby last yr after I took Studio4 & Oriolus Isabellae. Both sets just sounded sooo Good. And nothing new was even close.
It just seemed, it’s all old staff with very polished marketing. Marketing and push seemed to be ramping up by one seller and a lot of people, where the new staff is always better. They are still doing this with varying levels of success.

I really didn’t thought that was the case. In fact to this day nothing these newer companies have provided that surpassed studio4 & isa. In fact every time I demoed new sets I thought they are Mid.

If they actually believed the New iems are better than older models, They would’ve sent all those to @hbb for a honest take.
Sorry for the Rant.

I’ve been way more positive with megafest(still pretty boring) and Doscinco. Both sets seem to be winna

I am struggling with “best of” videos for 2024 because a lot of stuff is not actually any better, in fact, the “custom BA” phenom being pushed is just a way for companies to pay less for materials and add a nice cable but keep or increase profit margins. With whores like Jason pumping that shit out there with no shame whatsoever.

Speaking of branded drivers

I am a grandpa, and my older grandkids are in high school.

The Christmas/ Winter sales will probably have them at a good price.

Had the SE Twilight for little while but maybe my expectations were too high…Isabellae still best single DD for me

Arcadia is the Xenns Tea Pro at 2/3rds the price

I think in my half asleep ramblings things got lost. But that’s what I was trying to say. Most new hybrids are not breaking any grounds. These new “customs ba” bullshit is a new way of using E-Audio/bellsing BA’s. I’m sorry but not buying these new tactics, all the HO’s will do their job, but I’m not bitting.

You are the OG chill guy in this hobby.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Twilight acts like speakers in iem form. Turn em up…

I already did my vid and a rant will publish tonight.
If they want to prop up a new alternative to Sonion and Knowles then name the brand…build the rep.
20 plus collabs…I know everything on the factory side.
This is just…at this point, a scam to get profits using BA that are in $15 IEM and making them pretty and with decent cheap cables.
You are getting ripped off by clowns …we all know who they are.

@hawaiibadboy I’d say, I’m sorry if you don’t mention exactly what BA you are using in your $150-$400 hybrid, I’d think you don’t have confidence in your choices of BA, or you are trying to hide something :joy:

Still waiting for your Cadenza 12 (2024) video brother :smiling_face_with_tear::grin:

I know it’s only a remake but I imagine it is one of the better releases this year :slightly_smiling_face:

They said they updated the drivers but refused to tell me which drivers…speaking of transparency…

Well that sucks…same behaviour :see_no_evil:

They seem to sound just as good as the old version so the drivers can not be that bad, but then again only two or so were changed which are only responsible for a small spectrum of the frequency response.

I don’t dislike Bellsing drivers Just for being Bellsing drivers but yeah transparacy and adjusted prices would be nice

Oh, of course the 12 doesn’t have ghetto bellsing. I was just mentioning they didn’t tell me when I asked and we were just n a similar topic. Great set and a video is already done :slight_smile:

I’ve been still waiting to hear cad12 2024. The og cad12 for me had low bass, but super well done vocals. But since I already own rsv… No need.

Excited to see what you actually do, it’s going to be great.

Don’t fret the content, just enjoy time with your firecracker son. The story of him punching you is still cracking me up. My son’s been sick for the last 5 days and he’s just now starting to talk and be himself again. Thank Goodness. You don’t know what you have until they are sad, I’ll take a puncher over a sad kid any day of the week.
