IEM discussion thread (Part 2)

Great review. Finally IEM switches designed for humans.

I think I know why you love them. I suddenly feel a strong urge to buy them. Help!

Actually, Lime Ears Aether R featured a design like this many, many years ago.

Then I accidently switch the button. No thanks.

Or gets caught on fabric/threads etc.and has more leverage for breaking off it it catches on anything. Definitely more convenient to adjust, but opens up other day to day issues.

I’m a low volume listener! But it’d be nice to qualify the spl - I just don’t have a 711 coupler or anything l like that

Me either - I just use an SPL on speakers in the room, and some other sounds, then spitball based on what I’m hearing with iems in with no volume and at different source volume levels.

At any rate, I’m fairly confident my “low volume” is actually fairly low - low enough that most of my “balanced” or “neutral” iems sound quite anemic and unappealing, while the Rosefinch sounds pretty musical. I’m sure it’s not just the Rosefinch this would work with for my ears, but anything with a steeper V. It’s basically just Fletcher Munson in reverse, I figure. This is all probably unremarkable to others; just was a fun realization for me…

Speedy recovery! You’ll enjoy those planar’s, one of my fav sets. If you find that the fit is not as comfortable as you’d like, some tip rolling should do the trick until you find the ones that make 'em fit best. Enjoy, when you able to! :notes:

I won a Linsoul $15 coupon from 11.11 order number.
Got the Rhapsody for $25. Currently out of stock, so the wait will be long I guess.

Any Rhapsody owners here? What are your impressions?

I use CP100+ tips with all my IEMs I actually found that the S12 fits like a glove, I don’t think i’ve ever worn a more comfortable pair of IEMs

I managed to get coupons for $8 and $11 on that sale. I snagged a couple cases, and cables, but the Castor black and the Zero2 were my big purchases this year on Linsoul this year.

I also bought the xDuoo MT-602 tube amp on Amazon and that thing is amazing.

I also found the S12 with CP100+ to be very comfortable.
The only better fit for me has been the Tea and Tea2, also with the CP100+.

For my ears, the S12’s were a perfect match with the M sized Dunu S&S tips. I can literally wear them for hours on end and comfortably. Something about their squarish shape just fits my ear canal perfectly.

I am glad that there are plenty of options out there so we can all find the perfect match to our IEMs. :+1:

Man I miss the OG Teas, I got them when I was relatively new to IEMs and the only ones I had before those was the ZS10 Pro and the Starfield and those are significantly smaller so I remember not having a good fit with the Tea but this was before I knew about tip rolling and I was always just shoving them in my ear kinda forcefully lmao.

I eventually returned them and I wish I never would have, i’m sure I could make them fit pretty comfortably nowadays but I can never find them anywhere
