Brother, that tuning looks absolutely incredible. If the graph can tell just a little bit of the story here, then the Sabertooth will have just a hint more bite for female vocals compared to the OG DMs and, man, lemme tell you, I’m for it.
thanks so much for sharing, bro!
Im my corner of the world its like 100-0 in favour of 242 among the people that has tried them. Its funny how we manage to end up in mini filter bubbles even in a tiny niche hobby haha 
142 sounded too sub bass heavy for me. 242 sounded more satisfying and open with that flatter bass shelf.
I met Thomas Bangalter from daft punk yesterday. It was an out of body experience that words cannot describe.
Odd to see him without that helmet. But extremely cool!
PS It’s a good thing you know a thing or two about taking pics if words cannot describe it 
Man met a robot that was human after all! Glad that you could make it happen!
Way to educate the youngins, too! What a thrill!
Since the Robots went their separate ways, Thomas has been everywhere without his helmet so I’m somewhat desensitized now. But seeing him in person obviously didn’t feel real. Not in the slightest. So odd is a great way to describe it.
Ha! I wish I could have taken more pics of the man himself, but I was on the verge of blacking out, so I didn’t take too many.
Thank you, buddy 
He loves the Robots and NY just the same as his old man, so it was quite the experience for him as well!

Took over 200 pics yesterday at my little sister’s graduation day and compared the pics I took with my Sony Alpha A6100 with the others that used their smartphones and DAMN the difference in quality was painfully big to see. Colors looked very unnatural (too much HDR i guess) and lacks a TON of details in the smartphones..
Congrats!!
Hell yeah! Congrats to your sis, bro! Happy to hear you got some banger pics.
The A6xxx series is such a legendary series of cams. I miss my A6000 all the time.
Plan to order a custom photo album with the pics I took.

Hopefully I made the right choice to not take them in RAW and only jpg. (Not that I know how to edit RAWs anyway…)
The jpegs will be more than fine, man. You can always slightly tweak the colors if you really wanted to afterward.
I need to get an album myself. Having those tangible printed out pics is so nostalgic and definitely the way it should be. They feel more significant compared to being on a screen. No doubt.
I just picked up a used Lumix GF2 on eBay for a good price. I should get it next week and start playing with it. I’m going to start doing some very ameteurish street photography and learn along the way.
YO, let’s freaking go! Thanks for sharing that here, man, you better share the pics here once you get the cam in!
Thanks. I’m tried to do more creative hobbies.
In the past few weeks, I’ve been taking pictures with my son’s point and shoot camera (Kodak FZ55) and took this photo of an old Volvo (edited for crop and B&W effect). I’m sure I’ll have questions for you all.
Hey guys, I hope everyone is well!
I have something really special that I’d love to share with y’all.
To be completely blunt, outside of 2 sets (Jay’s new collab IEM, the Seraphim and The Symponium Zenith), I’m pretty much done with the hobby. Chasing the dragon just isn’t appealing to me anymore. I’ve fully reached the point where I’m only around here and on Discord strictly to talk to my audio buddies. So I’ll cut to the chase.
I got these in from my newly acquainted friend, Isaiah from Symphony Ears and I have to talk about them;
His small company is not really a company; it’s just him. He’s 21 years old and genuinely making some bangers. His other IEMs have eluded me up to this point, but I’ve always seen them around the forums and mentioned in other forums, so I’ve naturally always been interested in trying them. Here I was thinking this was some team of guys, somewhere in Singapore or China, making these… little did I know these are handcrafted in the US with branded drivers, mind you, but 1 young man that’s just interested in making good IEMs.
C’mon.
These are his newest creations. The Hexad II.
The 3D Printed, 3-part solid resin shells house a tribrid setup, with a dual DD Iso setup, accompanied by 2 branded BAs (Sonion 26UA and Knowles 33518) and, to my surprise, after listening, 2 Micro Planar Drivers.
I know, I know, MPDs. Here’s the interesting part: where other sets, like, for example, the Dunu Bros (142/242) let the MPDs handle the lower treble around 5-7k, leading to some whispy and crunchy timbre in a lot of songs, the Hexad II allows the BAs to handle the sound all the way up to 10k. Even now, as I sit here and listen to them knowing that there are MPDs in the shells, I still can’t get a sense of that nasty timbre I’ve been complaining about for a solid year now. I am genuinely impressed by the tuning/cross-over decision made here.
The overall tuning is on the neutral but well-extended side with a mid-range dominate presentaion that doesn’t completely abandon the treble or the bass. The entire signature leans on the warmer side to my ears with a more relaxing vocal presentation, especially coming out of the M33, but details are ever so delicately presented in a way where you really do have to listen with intention. They’re never in your face. Timbre is spot on, no complaints from me, and I’m the biggest wuss when it comes to timbre. Detail retrieval and overall resolution have not blown my mind, but layering and vocal separation are both standouts for my HRTF. The low-end percussion, bass lines, and guitars have a lovely, strong center image stance, where the vocals have this wrap-around-your-head feel, where they almost present right in front of me.
I specifically listened to these first BEFORE asking about the exact drivers. Hell, as I write this, I don’t even know the pricing. I’m trying my best to be unswayed by the details. I’ll say this now: The more I listen to them, the less I want to take them out. It’s rare for an IEM to grab my attention like this. It’s done in a way where I want to go through my library because they are doing something unique. That’s a hot and rare commodity in this hobby at the moment.
I’ll be doing a full write-up and photo session with these in the coming weeks as I get more listening time, but as of right now, my initial impressions are incredibly positive.

I’ve heard the name Symphony Ears before (can see how you thought it might be an Asian brand). Also: don’t stop chasing the dragon Dom!
The dragon can never be caught!
