IEM discussion thread (Part 1)

A single DD (and planar) are much better than low BA count setup usually.

(Even the IER-M9 has 5 BAs there and that is not a high number.)

Saw this and what very very tempted.

Glad you’re enjoying them :metal:And ya it takes some time to get use to, but when it clicks it clicks hard. The scaling is honestly sooo good. I find them really good with alternative and rock. Do wish there’s more sub-bass but that’s just me :stuck_out_tongue:

Curious to how it compares to your other ā€œdarkā€ sets!

Well, at least it’s not on every song! I’d say it happens 25% of the time.

Ya think Sony, the one’s who created the Z1R, would tune the bass better lol. I think I’ll pass on the EQ cuz I’ll have to EQ all the other ones just to be fair :sweat_smile:

keep me updated on buds2 pro vs Apple. I might get one of those in the future :slight_smile:

I’m not surprised Sony didn’t do anything. I read a comment that Sony hit the ground running Pods2, but this is not true. I can’t stop laughing :laughing: :grinning: :laughing: :grinning: :joy:

I’ll most definitely be keeping my eye on these sets in the future when I’m ready (and able to convince the wife) to drop big bucks on another set. Thanks, man!

Nah, this pic was taken an year ago. I lost all my pictures and I have RSV on a loan, so I had to literally search for some :rofl:

I’ve heard some absolutely banger reviews on the RSV - they are quite pretty too, aren’t they? :heart_eyes:

This! ^ :joy: I’m going to show her this, she’ll get a kick out of it!

Ay I also a set of RSV for sale on head-if js :smirk:

I always got a sharpness (not sure if in mids or treble?) with the RSV even with tip rolling. Combined with the bass not being DD, it wasn’t a keeper for me at the price it sits at.

Oh boy :sweat_smile: best of luck on that sale, brother. If I had the cashola I’ll be all over it.
