Goober's Journey Into the IEM Game or "Why Are You Not As Good As....?"

I should clarify: when I say that I mean people that only post/review on Head-Fi. You can tell many of them are either full on shills or doing a lot of reviews in less than good faith.

You’re not in that category for me

I’ve only been frequenting that forum for a few months and at first, I was like… wow there are people who are really passionate about their gear (they get for free or at a huge discount). The way they describe the sounds coming out of their IEMs and cables must make them cream their pants every time they hit play.

It’s one thing for someone to appreciate their gear, but to speak so highly of gear from one brand is pretty susⁿ

for the nerds… n = ∞

Vulkan >>>> B2

While I agree with that review to some extent, timbre and bass are really not at the required level on B2. If you care about those two things Vulkan is superior.

@ToneDeafMonk could you do me a favor and measure your EA1000 gold nozzle with just a high density foam mod, and post it to your squig?

Much appreciated if you can

For you I would do that, you thinking to tame some highs ?

Joseph from LETSHOUER and I are getting together a listening session and I get to try the final version of the S15 hybrid so excited for that.

Is this high density enough?

:joy:

(its from taobao, those “import” foams are a lot higher density than the “high density” foams you usually find.)

I’ll try the 500mesh again but it felt like it took too much of the top end off for me.

Kinda like I get Simgot for those “I want upper end in my face” moods so don’t kill all the mojo lol

Are you using foam tips to measure? Your treble graphs a lot less than mine using silicone tips.

I got the conch based off of your video man. Then I saw Akros’ video on the conch. Both of you can’t be right. :wink:

Sure they can be. They don’t share the same pair of ears, do they?

ToneDeafMonk is so enthusiastic about so many IEMs, that I always get the impression the one he is reviewing is as good as it gets, perfection! I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Then someone will ask if it’s as good as so-and-so IEM, and often it’s an obvious “no, not as good as that one”, so I get confused & put my credit card back in my wallet.

Your reviews are great!
You just seem to max out at 100% enthusiam on so many sets, that I can’t tell what performance level they are actually at compared to others. For instance you really like the TRN Conch, but I wouldn’t think you like it as much as the Penon Turbo, but it’s really hard to tell. I’m probably your opposite (not the most enthusiastic guy I’ve been told), so that could be my problem. :slight_smile:
