Looking forward to your thoughts. Could be a nice little thing for my mobile gaming kit.

Sometimes I hate how subjective this hobby is lmao. I just read and watched multiple glowing reviews on the Juzear 61t and then I come on here and iām seeing seeing that the EW300 āshitsā on it and the Dynaquattro is also way better apparently? I went through the reviews again and the direct comparisons to the Dynaquattro are saying theyāre relatively the same in most areas, just different tunings. The graph looks much more appealing and unique on the 61t to me, Dynaquattro and EW300 graphs both look like the same shit thatās been coming out left and right.
Fuck I wish I lived somewhere I could just audition these damn things 
this is the worst hobby to have when your only option is blind buying
I have returned about 5 sets just this year trying to find an upgrade and have yet to find something thatās worth it

Who knows, Cantor might have a hidden special sauce thanks to all the tech it has. I am expecting good amount of texture and separation throughout entire frequency response, considering 14 BAsā¦

There is also a cheaper option for both.

@Rikudou_Goku All you 
Dynaquattro is better than 61t no doubt, not sure whose claiming the EW300 is better but ya the 61T isnāt a very high bar to clear lol

Ironically enough Riku is the one who said the EW300 shits on the 61t(to be fair he was talking about timbre and coherency)
This is what iām talking about though with the subjectiveness of the hobby, one minute iāll hear itās nothing special then the next iāll hear itās incredible and it pushes above its price bracket lol

To be fair, finding that was simple as a 45 second search of graphs. We are deep in the current āpost-Harman curveā trend. Give me 20 minutes and Iāll find you 10-15 graphs that line up, at a host of price points.
Graphs are simultaneously valuable and useless to an impressive degree

It probably does then, I trust Riku But again, 61T, not a very high bar to clear

@VIVIDICI_111 What do you not like about it? I watch a lot of your videos and iāve been trying to sum a purchase down and I thought I was set on the 61t until I watched your review and it was majorly different than the others I had just watched lol

Yeah, beating the 61T timbre is not hard.
@Kamron_Howard2 better question is, what library do you use and what do you like? That way people can help you better.

My Cantor prediction:
Reviewers receive it, jizz all over it, calling it a āgiant killer,ā āunreal for the price,ā etc. Then it becomes the Flavor of the Month and is largely forgotten by Christmas or New Yearās.
Sorry to be so cynical, but this hobby runs on hype, and the hype around the Cantor has been ridiculous. You would think Moses himself was parting the audio Red Sea to deliver these to our ears.
I also get AFUL has a very good track record. The Performer series was well received, and I can vouch for the quality and unique nature of the MagicOne and Explorer as a happy owner of both sets.
Still, this is an $800 IEM in a hobby in which most agree diminishing returns hit HARD once you get to the $300-$500 range. I find it really hard to believe the Cantor will redefine the market. It will be a niche toy for collectors and those whose wallets are big or uncontrolled in our lovely hobby.
If youāve got to scream from the mountaintops during pre-production, āThis is our flagship IEM!ā then it probably isnāt true flagship quality. I hope Iām wrong for all who are buying this.
I hope everyone who buys LOVES their Cantor. Sincerely. But we see this hype train roll through the station filled with passengers only to stop on the return trip nearly empty at least five or six times per year.

I listen to a mix of genres
Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, Country
Iām looking for something with good bass, forward vocals with some warmth added and detailed but not overly elevated treble
I have the Yume 2 right now, I love it but the bass is way too light and I listen at a bit of a higher volume so thereās just a little too much energy past 2K for me, the only EQ option I have is the BTR3K and I personally donāt feel like it does EQ very well, I mostly use the apple dongle anyway so Iām not really looking to have to EQ something I spend over $200 on lol
61T shouldnt even be on your radar from the FR perspective. You need more mid-bass.
Ikko OH10 (modded) would work well.
Or the IvipQ V13 graph looks good.

AFUL Explorer sounds like a good match, man. $125 USD. Easy to drive, too.
Love mine, and I listen to a variety of genres like you.

I have the Starfield as well and the mid bass is enough for me on that, it graphs very similar to the 61t in the mid bass and lower mids thatās why Iāve been doing so much research on it lol. Iām looking for the absolute slightest touch of warmth, nothing overly colored lol
that tuning isnt suitable for rock/metal, hip-hop and R&B.
