Let’s keep the convo going from the last IEM thread.

Has anybody here tried the Chopin?

It’s been discussed already back in August,

Night Oblivion - discussions

They are two different IEMs. Different drivers / crossovers / and hardware configs. Night Oblivion was dealing with chinese domestic market with Jinny’s own tuning. W10 is one of them and that where I noticed the existence of Night Oblivion. W10 is unbelievably bright tuned and it’s unvented as well. I didn’t find W10 particularly interesting but I know that’s what Chinese domestic market wanted. The cost of drivers are down graded to sell for Chinese domestic market too. If you want a thin …

businesses try to deny a warranty claim as it doesn’t really affect them past nominal time costs in filing to the manufacturer. Considering the nicheness of this hobby it would be a death sentence on the business if they took such an anti-consumer stance… May be worth reminding them of this if you face serious opposition.

Also as the purschase was made in the last 6 months you have some additional protection up to that period such as being able to ask for a fully new item or your money back if the product is defective and needs to be replaced.

Have you also tried going straight to the manufacturer? Worth a try buy can be difficult when they are in a different continent to get them to respect EU legislation. Also usually they want you to go to the original seller first but when they are being unreasonable sometimes the manufacturer will step in - this happened to me when I was doing some property development and the entire flooring that had been laid had a structural defect that the seller wouldn’t accept but the manufacturer stepped in to remedy at a small extra cost.

Just a follow up. Hifi-passion.de decided to drop the ball on me completely and not even to reply on my mails since beginning of the last week. The set is fixed now by me, but it still leaves the bad taste in mouth as they don’t know that and I even wrote them that warranty repair is the last thing I want to do and maybe they have good ideas on fixing the earpiece without that…

So hifi-passion.de receives my highest level of disapproval for not being customer forward

[Kenyon]

Chap I am so sorry that is awful behaviour but something that apparently has become more and more prevalent in the last few years . Thank you for updating on this and making people aware of the shit customer service that one of the few European stores offer and how they go about handling their affairs.

I am glad you managed to get the set working again - but perhaps consider in these circumstances if you have any performance concerns - and I am aware this is not technically correct/ethical but needs must and all that - buy a new version of the IEM from them using PayPal and a credit card / say it is faulty and enact a warranty return as you are now the primary buyer - then return the faulty one and keep the good one - let them refund you or enact a charge back from Paypal &/or your credit card company.

Walk away with your money back and a working IEM where you just paid the used price.

[pylaczynski]

Well one thing is that my lawful neutral morality would not allow me for doing such thing, the second is that the Twilights are serialized and marked on both box and the shell itself

My favorite set under $200 easily

[Krasche]

My set arrived today from Hifigo. Wow, love them!

[Kamron_Howard2]

The only gripe I have with it is the imaging and separation could definitely be better but other than that I love the overall fun it brings to my library

Okay, so I went ahead and got a pair of the ThieAudio Prestige LTD to compare on my own rigs to the Prestige OG that I love so much thinking that I would keep the pair that I liked best. After a few weeks of comparison, the Prestige LTD were sold to a friend of mine. I find the OG Prestige to have a bit more of an aggressive character that I think the LTD lacks and I personally enjoy how intense the higher end gets in comparison to the LTD. I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with both and came away feeling the same way I do. I think I might be a bit unique in this regard since I find the TA Excalibur and the Dunu EST112 to both be better than the Oracle, Oracle Mk2, and the other mid level EST based IEMs I have tried so I guess I fall well outside the mainstream in my preferences on the tribrid setups in general. Hence, why I was asking since I just wanted to see if anyone out there feels the same way.

I also have a pair of Trailli JPs on their way to me as a trade for my Subtonic Storms which never quite clicked with me despite being obviously and exceptionally well made and certainly elite IEM. Point being, stay tuned for thoughts on the Trailli.

I’m starting to not feel sorry for folk who deal with boomerang Bob #Trinity #IMR…It’s not like they’ve not been warned enough times…

I’m in that thread for the Greek comedy/tragedy levels of drama at this point

TBH the whole Bob/IMR/Trinity thing is like one of those weird cults, where everyone inside sees all that shit as normal, everyone outside be like really…

New from CFA…

This hybrid IEM is supremely balanced, filled with intricate detail, sweet, forward vocals, and overall superb technical abilities. Wrapped in our brushed stainless steel shell with black PVD accents and a vinyl lid insert with stainless CA emblem, BlackStar is elegant and refined in form and function.

BlackStar is $999

“Extra special” doesn’t inspire confidence in me…

Tingker H16 showed up

I picked it up from the 11.11 sale I would say for $100 dollars it is a solid all BA set.

Some quick impressions . Warm polite listen with decent staging(more depth then width) and techs at the price. It does have a single vent hole but people prone to vent pressure still might need to be cautious.

Can someone recommend me a good upgrade from the Yume II?

I absolutely LOVE the treble on them, something about it just sounds so clean, even completely ethereal at times. But the two biggest gripes I have with them is the pretty small soundstage and lack of bass. I’m looking for something that keeps the treble quality of the Yume II and the energetic sound signature but also has good bass and at least a semi decent soundstage. My budget is $350 but if there’s something below that by all means let me know!
