IEM discussion thread (Part 2)

Thanks again - much appreciated :pray:

Nope, only option in the fiio app is to update the firmware.

Itā€™s weird as the cheap JA11 is able to use PEQ.

Strange decision as the BTR13 probably has enough difference to justify the upsell from the BTR11 without the PEQ difference.

Shame - would have been nice to see it here but then again for ā‚¬20 I am asking a lot also
Still may pick one up - gives me heavy ā€œin the summerā€ use vibes (which I will now bottle for 8 or so months until next summer) :joy:

Have you considered the Quedelix 5K, or do you want the 4.4mm balanced? The 5K is such a great product :fire:

IMO, as the 11 does not have PEQ I would go for the 13. That alone is the dealbreaker on the 11 for me.

BTR13 looks better on paper to me honestly. qudelix software should be a lot better still though.

Thanks for the suggestion - the Q5K is great - my interest is mainly in finding an alternative after all these years of itā€™s dominanceā€¦ So pretty much what @Rikudou_Goku was saying about the spec - along with it being a little cheaper - we may finally have a potential rival to the Q5K (which does feel a little old in the tooth) if they can invest in better software (where the Q5K has traditionally pulled ahead).

So wondered how it fares as a complete package.

Pretty sure I am going to pick the BTR13 up on 11.11.

But you know whatā€™s itā€™s like - was buying something in the Choice sale and needed to add some stuff to the cart to get coupons :joy: so BTR11 suddenly looked very appealing.

Add the JA11 to the list and you get PEQ with your speakers. :wink:
(is what Im using with my Aiyima S400 speakers atm)

@ohmboy You are the Mod. I want you to observe
@shuoer You are the person who repped during the Kinda Lava
@ToneDeafMonk You made some accusations of unprofessional behavior. Please elaborate. You are welcome to share any contacts from me to support your thesis.
If @shuoer is not able to recall 2 years ago clearly. This is Jason, the guy who sent a DM claiming you said, Letshuoer would slime me if I went public that the retune was not what I had requested. You said, you had no idea how Letshuoer would even go about doing that (sliming me) ā€¦as the engineer went rogue. That should jog the memory

Jason, Iā€™d like you to not dodge or change topics. We can and will talk about KZ and Fatfreq after this easy one has been sorted. Bet on that
Share the mails with Letshuoer and me.

So the company that approached me, and re-tunedā€¦a collab?..was going to call me out?
About what exactly?
Somebody is telling a lie.
Donā€™t get personal with insults, donā€™t change the topic. Everyone is watching.
You got me showing no concern?
(Drop that screenshot)
You didnā€™t lieā€¦right? You must have Letshuoer telling you they are gonna come after me.
(Rep said nahā€¦so he is lying or you are?..drop that Screeny)
You donā€™t support companies manipulating the message by hook or by crook do you?
Drop the screenshot
slow-motion

After we all seeā€¦I mean all of usā€¦who told a lie you can pick Fatfreq or KZ next. You clearly are behind on those 2 so pick whichever.
I am waiting for that screenshot of @shuoer saying they are going to come at me. Iā€™d love to see for what.

Bad news folks, itā€™s been like a week now and there is still no reply from Letshuoer regarding about the warranty of my S08s. Looks like I am gonna have to open this left ear piece up to see what was causing the drivers to not working anymore, for it sucks for this IEM is one of my favorites this year.

I donā€™t know what to do anymore, I might as well buy a newer IEM instead as a replacement to this like an AFUL Performer 5 or even the Explorer. Man, it just sucks that my S08, have to get broken like that.

where did you buy them? first i have seen a faulty driver with s08.

Iā€™ll have to be honest on this one and like you said it was two years agoā€¦I canā€™t remember all that went on but when KL was released it was not your intended tuning, is that correct?..Did you still get paid for your work with LETSHUOER? if so I guess they just wanted your branding on the set?
So where does TDM come into all this?

implied that he knew the whole storyā€¦big implications there.
So i want him to bring it allā€¦theā€¦wayā€¦out.
Drop that DM
Heā€™s lying.
Or
The rep is lying.
There is no other option.
He shares the DM and makes Letshuoer look bad but keeps it real or he doesnā€™t
If you claim to know more of a story.
Well goddamn Son, share that shit.

I bought it from a store called Feigu Audio, and I am hoping they are a Letshouer affiliated store. Even if I did send this back to them, the shipping costs for me is going to be costly therefore I think I should just dissect this left ear piece and open it up, to see if I can still fix it.

I am hoping that the driver didnā€™t die, instead there is just a disconnection happened, meaning the wired wasnā€™t soldered well to the 2-pin connector. Then again it has been slightly ruined back then so I might as well do it, I am not exactly losing anything of me just opening this up, since I wanted to make it work again for I like the sounds of the S08.

hope for the best for you then. i plan to buy through linsoul so i thinkg warranty with them should be better

Seems to be a reviewer problem :sweat_smile: With them aside, the hobby drama seems to peak with the regularly scheduled cable/source arguments :wink: Not so bad.

Are there any under $200 IEMs that compete with higher priced ones in tuning and clarity?

Simgot SuperMix 4 is a good place to start.
