I have limited experience with the rest of your list. I’ve heard the FH3’s, but not purchased them. Let someone else with a little more experience with the IEMs on this list chime in here.
@Rikudou_Goku comment regarding weight is correct. They are solid chunks of IEM! But they work for me, I run them for many hours a day while working with no issue.
As far as purchasing, I’ve become a big fan of the used market (especially on this forum). Able to save some $$$ and limit your risk. If you don’t like them it’s easy to get your money back out. If you buy new, make sure they have a good return policy - Amazon is great for this.
Could be. But this is a good reminder that as always - YMMV - different hearing sensitivities and preferences.
I do think @Rikudou_Goku is correct, the FH3 is likely the safer bet, especially if returning could be an issue. They are generally liked, and from what I remember on them they were very nice. The OH10’s have a bit more risk (especially with weight/comfort).
@elementze Well I like safe. If I go with the FH3 then I might get the cable @Rikudou_Goku linked + the balanced version of the ddHiFi. That would be the TC44B right? Because I see that the TC25B isn’t balanced.
Why not just run single ended with a 3.5mm cable? No need to upgrade unless you want to try the world of balanced. You are correct, TC25B is not balanced. The TC44B is balanced, but much more expensive (and requires a 4.4mm penticon connector). My 2 cents, stick with the stock 3.5mm cable, and upgrade later if you want to try it. You could even just stick with your current adapter. If you like it, save your money for future purchases (welcome to a hobby that is a true money sink hole)
Right? It’s always “I have X budget” and I end up spending double that after hours of doing research. I should probably stick with the stock cable for now and see how I like them.
But I really do like my vinyl setup and currently rocking Adam T5Vs for my PC which I absolutely love!
Anyway thanks for your input peeps. I will make a decision on Sunday, maybe by then someone else will chime in on the other IEMs in the list.
I have both Legacy 4 and OH10s and theyre chalk and cheese.
OH10 has the deeper bass and a good soundstage but are lacking a bit in the mids compared to the L4s.
Ive only had the OH10s a few weeks so i used them constantly and realy like them and thought id hate the L4s when i swapped back a few days ago, but immediately fell back in love with the L4, they are definitely the more neutral of the two and much lighter ans smaller as well.
Honestly you cant go too wrong with either but based on your music preferences the OH10s sound like the better bet.
@DaveB Bass and soundstage are more important to me than mids, so I’ll take the L4s off the list. How’s the clarity on the OH10s? Every review praised the FH3s on that aspect.
Clarity is not bad but it’s the worst performer out of my S8Fs and L4s but for me the OH10s have other plus points and the bass is quite captivating.
Like I said, they are a different animal compared to my other IEMs which is why I got them.
I had already decided after watching some more reviews on the two, and after reading yours I am 100% sold on the FH3s. I will take its better clarity and imaging over OH10s better (more?) bass.
So FH3s with ddHifi TC35B and stock cable for now, and I will probably buy a FiiO BTR5 and balanced cable later on.
Thanks for helping me decide!
if you mean you like BASS?..then it might be worth going through this thread
