At this point Iām not even sure how my preferences necessarily compare to how audio products are described and reviewed. By descriptions, I thought I would like the Tea better than the B2, but I donāt. I thought from descriptions I would like the Sundara better than the HD660S, but I donāt. Guess it just goes to show in the end you can only go by your own ears.
Iām wondering if Iād like the Tea more or something like the Oxygen or Timeless 7hz going from the dusk and starfields. Thereās also the falcon pro to consider too now that some people have their hands in them. I have my Kato still on order so Iāll find out if I like those soonish I guess but if anyone is convincing enough maybe I cancel the order for something else. Someone did put up a YouTube review of the KATO but it didnāt make any sense to me lmao
I hope youāre talking about the regular B2 . My B2D has way too much bass imo, itās a little fatiguing. Sound is a bit more ushaped than I like. Vocals donāt sound too great to me either.
I wish I had money to throw. I would buy the oxygen, tea, Kato, falcon pro and timeless 7hz to see if I can finally find iems I like more than the starfields.
I would have never gone down this rabbit hole if I knew it was gonna be so hard to find better iems than the starfields. Iām like a grand in at this point I think.
Would it make sense to normalize the Tea FR at 100/200Hz to make it a more fair comparison with other IEMs?
For example, below I compare Tea to O2 and I raised the TEA frequency by 4dB so it matches the O2 at both 100Hz and 200Hz. We can see clearly that the TEA has more sub-bass and more mids and clean low treble.
Does this make any sense?
I think thatās exactly what you want to do, but not why⦠Iād say itās a matter of volume matching the whole spectrum rather than matching any individual frequency.
Yeah, the one person who I know got these told me they donāt sound good either. Very good on the technical side but the sound signature is super imbalanced apparently. So I guess Iām between the mangird tea and falcon pro?
Yes. Play with it, explore. Even before i knew ehat was what, I pressed all the buttons just to see what happened. Tea got me into graphs because of it. Its very hard to explain Teas by words and a graph because itās a strange one
