@nymz What is it ā¦
The flagship, Iām guessing. Announced with a prototype @ canjam. From memory, 1dd+11ba or something like that.
Price will also be flagship
Something Iāve always wondered, with how EST drivers work (basically they hold a charge, which they lose over time), will we start seeing most EST sets develop massive channel imbalances years down the line?
To my ears, most BAs sound better than ESTs. ECTs also have a shorter life, itās all about tuning.
Bat earsā¦ hmmā¦
The Dunu Talos puts many of the IEMs under $300 I have heard to shame in terms of both tuning and technicalities. I do think the optional BAs are limited to niche applications, and I would love to see a streamlined, planar-magnetic-only version of the Talos for a modestly reduced price. Even so, the Talos is easily worth its retail price and is a no-brainer purchase on sale.
My full review is available here on HiFiGuides and on my blog.
Ok, so Iām trying to drag another friend into the IEM rabbit hole, and Iām just curious whatās everyoneās take on the most technical (detail/separation/imaging) IEM at around $300-350 currently? (no tuning or library preferences). Blessing 2 Dusk/Tea2?
Last day on this one if you need an indestructible carry case?..
In stock anyone want to take a punt?..
Thatās an expensive punt! I have to admit that Iām intrigued though. However, after a very expensive 4 months that included revamping my whole high end over ear rig along with many smaller purchases Iāve gotta take a pass on this one for now.
Honestly though, Iām very happy with my collections ATM and, aside from being curious about various sets, I am very content to sit back and enjoy what Iāve put together. Thatās saying something for me.
Anybody got their mega5pā¦is it close to tea2? or upcoming aful performer5 would be better?
The mega5p sale came too late for me so I want able to grab a set.
And after akrosā review on the performer5, Iām definitely in the same boat as you, (trying to) patiently waiting on other feedbacks and comparisons.
Timeless
10 char
Def. Blessing 2/Dusk.
I do think Dusk is the better pick out of the two as it adresses some of the problems the Original shows.
Personal bias aside, you are hard pressed to find a better iem at that price range that beats it on those three fields.
You should join into Truthear Hexa. MRS and HBB reviewed it recently
Ya, heard good things about it. Apparently a B2 at $80. A/B comparison would be cool.
B2, Timeless, and Etymotic ER4SR/ER4XR are the three most technical IEMs I have heard in that price range. The reason I didnāt pick one is because each one has some technical strength I think itās better than the other two at so I donāt think thereās necessarily a clear winner for most technical between the three.
