IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)

Final audio e3000 if you want an alternative to the blon 03 with better fit.

You can also consider the final audio e1000 with micropore tape mod, which sounds better than the e3000 IMO and is cheaper as well.

1101

thanks but I can’t get those in (or to) Croatia, the BLON is on Linsoul at least

1102

Check amazon.de,uk,jp

1103

I did, they don’t ship internationally because the seller isn’t Amazon

1104

Anyone here ever tried a lear bamdas 5? Real curious on it with a pretty interesting driver config

Hmm… curious now myself. Found this: Interview with Tatco Ma of Lear – Audio Primate

1106

Are you sure? This one is shipped to Slovenia without any problem

1107

5 dynamics…not even sure how that’s possible

1108

Guys, is it for real that there is a Tin HiFi T5 or something right now? Saw some of it from our local online seller and it seems legit.

1109

Yes it is. There are already some reviews on youtube and other audio reviewer websites.

1110

How are they? It seems that one is best for bassheads from what I am seeing so far.

1111

Yeah really curious if it’s good or not, seems like something like that would be super hit or miss

1112

I don’t really know bcs I don’t have them and I didn’t watch the reviews, but here are some reviews on YouTube.

Nope, doesn’t ship to Croatia :confused:

1114

Oh right, yeah they are not for me. Apparently they are too bassy and I am not really a fan of IEMs or Headphones with too much bass. I’ll skip this one.

I have the Noble Audio Sultans for two weeks on loan… first lets just say for $3k IEM I’m not that impressed. I’ve never been an iem guy as frankly I don’t like the feeling of having something jammed in my ear canal to get a seal and these bastards are uncomfortable regardless of tips. In the future I’ll just stick to entry level iems, full size hps, and 2 channel.

Yeah that can happen…HP’s = Hot spot’s, Clamp force, Weight, Pad contact issues, etc…IEM’s have similar issues…some work for you. some don’t :man_shrugging:

$'s don’t always = comfort or work with your sources (synergy) etc, that rings true through and through with this hobby lol.

What source did you end up using with them?

Personally I wasn’t an iem fan until recently when I found the right tips with my Moondrop SSRs and also my graces which are now my favourites overall

1118

I’ve tried directly from iphone, from FiiO x7, and from my HP setup Holo Spring KTE → Holo Mammoth KTE (pentacon adapter). They scale a bit with better sources but it’s not a great deal different.

Fitment is an issue just like hotspots but with that aside I just don’t think the SQ is all the impressive per $ invested; just my initial take. I’ll see after a few weeks if they get any better after I get adjusted to them.

Fair enough, tbh I’ve not heard lots about Noble audio stuff. If I was to look at that price range of IEMs I’d be looking at something like the Rhapsodio Infinity Mk2s, but I’m a while off that sort of price range personally :sweat_smile:
