šŸ”¶ Mangird XENNS UP

I think this is a sharepoint issue compatibility with mobile devices. I could not scroll horizontally even if I zoom out the furthest. I tried to flip my phone horizontally and was able to zoom in on the right side of the sheet but was successful only on one instance.

Also weird to see RSV and Xenns UP in one place :grin:

Yep, I would say this is the biggest fail point. Iā€™m not able to reliably make settings for a spreadsheet this big, that will be good for viewing on a smartphone.

I do highly recommend using a laptop/PC to view the spreadsheet, even if you canā€™t use it at your earliest convenience

I may try, at some point, to switch the spreadsheet to google docs and see if that helps. But I prefer working on the sheets in Microsoft excel, so thatā€™s why itā€™s there currently

I only ran into the problem when my browser was too narrow.
I was using Chrome on Windows 11, and got the error going from full screen to a smaller window.
When I made the browser window wider it worked fine.

Boy howdy do I get the ā€œcannot afford itā€

Of Gooberā€™s Warm-Neutral, I own the Hola, Z300, and Galileo. If you are looking for a budget set, I highly recommend both Hola and Galileo. I enjoy the Z300, but it isnā€™t the most resolving IEM. I would also put the Kailua in this group. Goober labels it Bassy-Dark, but it is brighter than the Z300 to my ears.

Of those Kailua and Hola get the most listening time for me.
I do like Galileo for gaming, but I donā€™t use it a lot for music.

I compared my UP to the DTE900 and happy and sad to say the latest Sound Rhyme is a improved UP.

Cleaner mids and a tad more est energy without harshness.

Its a lovely tuning for UP lovers
If ypu love the UP but were wishing for a bit more resolving mids and treble I highly recommend this one.

Iā€™ve loved the UPs tuning from day one and it has only grown further into my soul over itā€™s time. You had me really excited at first. Then I read further.

This would strip some of the greatest appeal UP has for me. Itā€™s an absolute blast and killer for my library at how forgiving the UP is to recording quality. I didnā€™t realize it in the beginning of my journey part of why UP clicked with me in so many areas. Many IEMs later and almost two years I can say with confidence that one of its key aspects is just how unresolving it is. Iā€™m still very curious to hear the DTE900 one day even without the UP comparison.

Just throw a 25ohm impedance adapter on it and Voila super mellow but bottom end is fierce. The cuve looks like 11 in the graph but top end is more relaxed and very smooth.

Do you have any ear time with DTE500? I didnā€™t find it offensive just nothing special about it. Wonder how the 900 compares and if it brings any special sauce to the table.

I didnā€™t listen to that one I heard the 500 as described the same nothing engaging

What tips do you like for the UP? Iā€™ve been tiprolling recently and canā€™t seem to find ā€˜the oneā€™ (even though I really love the UP)

I saw that too, I would advise caution only because Mangird is known for driver failure and channel imbalance on thier IEM . Depending on the climate zone dryer maybe not so much of a issue.

My UP I donā€™t listen to anymore because one side is way off balanced.

I was looking for a second set but ultimately passed when I thought about it.

If the owner could provide a measurement of the set I say definitely go for it. If it looks good itā€™s a great price for a amazing set!

Thatā€™s worrying but I think Iā€™ll give it a try still since itā€™s the lowest Iā€™ve seen it yet. Rolling the dice on this one, if worst comes to happen, I might give you a message to see if the side Iā€™m having an imbalance on is opposite of yours lol

for what itā€™s worth, the xenns up continues to be my daily driver after all this time even though I have more expensive IEMs

I think Iā€™ve honestly reached my limit sonically speaking. I can pick up the differences between Variations and the Up but they both sound great to me and donā€™t sound too crazy different to my ears. The Up can get ā€œmusically chaoticā€ but I really dig it so far.

The clinical cleanliness of the Variations make the Up a crazy great change of pace with the mids being so full that it can be overwhelming but oddly it keeps quite the detail.

Does anyone here own a Top and Up? would it be enough of a change to warrant giving it a whirl?

If Iā€™m reading this correctly, you just recently got the UP and are now thinking of getting the top as well? :slight_smile:
If so, general PSA, you donā€™t need sidegrades

I was thinking of selling the used Up I bought to get a Top rather than buying one outright since I donā€™t have money
