IEM discussion thread (Part 1)

IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)
6645

This is really crazy how you can get caught in the most vulnerable moment off guard in this consumerism driven hobby.

I haven’t bought any iem/bud since October (apart from tryout/resell for 3 days of Cadenza 2nd hand), and I was evaluating any purchase for days (Olina SE, KBEAR Rosefinch, Heyday, Meteor and more) and ended up not buying anything in that period as I rationally am vary satisfied with what I have :dizzy_face:

Then suddenly out of a cue I bought random IEM after 5 min research for 100$ without even FR (and it may turn out unbearable if it has 4-5k peaks). And I know it happened just because I had huuuge business critical fire extinguished at my company today and I am at relatively relaxed state for the first time since more than 2 months…

Has anyone here used this and if so how well does it work with relatively thicker cables?

This clip will hold everything up to and including a 16-core Zonie cable, cal_lando. It’s MUCH more capable than any of the little clips I’ve had in the past, but be aware of how just big it’s going to be!

Thank you for the info! It is indeed big however I think that is what I will have to go with since my cable is pretty big as well

Pretty much the 7hertz Zero with less treble. Always welcomed, but that was done a long time ago :man_shrugging: Placed an order because I gave away my Zero and need another to compare with other cheaper IEMs. Hope there’s no metallic treble in this one :crossed_fingers:

Ohhhhhhhh ummmmmmm! sweet.

tbh that’ll probably be the buying point for me love the CHU but the cable sucks lol, hopefully price is good

6659

I believe the price has been set at $40 USD If i’m reading correctly… steep for just a removable cable chu-type tuning but hey, if you love the chu, then this one’s for you! :sweat_smile:

Damn, that graph looks good. I hope 7th Acoustics become more available stateside soon.

It sounds fantastic! I’ll do a review once i spend more time with them. So far i have no complaints. Extended treble, tasteful, defined bass, great dynamics and imaging. 7th accoustics is a one-man show in Indonesia. Each set is made to order.

These sound fantastic, I appreciate the impressions! I haven’t been able to find a way to purchase them stateside unfortunately, but I would absolutely be interested. It reminds me of the Dark Magician in a way. Small unit count, DIY in a sense, similar upper mids tuning. Looking forward to the proper review, brother!
