Hmmmm. I considered a tia trio type of high end iem in the future but now that u mention it, since jvc have high end IEMs those might be worth looking into after all. Yeah the dynamics and slam of the jvc are nuts, super fun!
I actually know @M0N was gonna mess with a higher end jvc iem but it’s still being dealt with in the mail. Hopefully not lost
I have a fw10000 on the way but it’s sure taking its time lol

Yes, that was the one I was thinking of. From what I’ve read it has a more traditional Japanese tuning. The Drop FW-1800 promises a lot, but there are also very few real reviews out there

I’ve always liked the older jvc wood iems, and while the jp tuning is lighter and more airy it’s still really nice

womp womp, i hope it arrives soon
does that mean that they don’t focus on dynamcs, slam as much?
No it does for sure it just means it’s less neutral

I’m so fucking annoyed at myself for looking at this thread again 
The JVC FW10000 has the EXACT sound signature I am missing in an IEM (from what i am reading elsewhere about it) and now i want it. @M0N please let us know once you get it if ANYTHING cheaper sounds close to it please, and of course give us your honest opinion on it as well

Not gonna lie, JVC with LP are kinda fire. They fixed the only sound “problem” i had with them, the lower mids (i assume) sounded a bit hollow, to where i couldn’t enjoy my ballds and indie music as much since i was spoiled by the LCD 2 and Focal Alphas but WOW got them a balanced cable to hook up to the LP (while i wait for a custom cable from a friend) and surprised pikachu face i was shocked by how much better the mids sounded. Like it’s not just that they became even more forward (which i enjoy) but even the quality just sounded better, way more organic and sweet. The JVC did lose some impact imo they became a tiny bit more chill but besides that the mids really improved a ton with the LP, soundstage is nice and wide too. The downside is that the treble that the JVC has is usually fun and prominent so i enjoy it but the LP really took it down a notch where it straight up is a warm iem now lol. I guess with more transparent gear it’s bound to happen. But i’ve had this combo for a week or so now and it’s ridiculous how much i’ve been enjoying it, surprises me how good an iem can sound.

Such a solid IEM. Still loving mine and they really sing on the RNHP. What were you using to drive them before you switched to the LP?

I was using the hiby r5 and the xduoo plus. Enjoyed I more on the xduoo because of the more forward mids and better treble. I found out I love the hiby dac but hate the hiby amp lol. Just because it really hides the mids. Only by chance I decided to give the jvc a chance in the LP and it really has been surprising just how much I enjoy it. Also now after the lcd and jvc I have confirmed just how much I love the LP

Also what in particular have you been enjoying about them with the RNHP? heard from jfopps it’s a lovely pairing
They’re not sensitive, so you really can get away with running extra power through them. I use them all the time in over-ear mode with the Fiio M15, and I’d use them more off of my tube amp if the positioning was more convenient. I get the impression anything optimized to drive senns will do great with these

Yeah, honestly didn’t expect them to be so hard to drive because 1 they are an iem, 2 they are dynamic drivers. But these guys really appreciate the extra power. And indeed zero hiss. And gotcha, interesting about te tube amp thing. Never considered it, but yeah these guys Def appreciate some good mid action
