AFUL Performer 5
Frequency Response Graph:
Most sensitive IEMs I’ve encontered to tip rolling, probably due to all the ninja tech they have in that nozzle. Actually shocking. Tip: Use cilinders or narrow bores.

I need impressions! This IEM is staring a hole through me and I need a reason to back away lol

So this can put my Vulkan fascination to rest?
wait, is there no mesh on the nozzle ending there? That’s strange …

Huuuuuuuuuuum, that’s a great question.
Stage is a bloodbath.
Timbre is a bloodbath.
Bass texture is a bloodbath.
And Vulkan loves some blood.

Funky tech inside. I got a 3 page article on it

Wait, wait wait…
So if Aful is coming in at like $200ish (which is what people have been hinting at), it’s very worth it.
And still doesn’t touch Vulkan?
Oh…fudge!

Does some stuff better than Vulkan.
I just worded it in a way I now own your soul.
These are great 
But just started to listen to them, but I couldn’t stop but messing with you

Oh, that comparison looks interesting…
I’ll drool all over Vulkan for you. But the points I said before are actually true. I just pointed the 3 things that make Vulkan shine for me.
Vulkan has an à la U12T tuning (minus the Tia extension), which is a hit or miss for most. Very relaxed.
Performer5 is a Mona2/ or Oracle2 with more mids? something around that.

That’s what I’m saying … not only do they look super similar in the shell design, but the FR is vaguely similar. It’s almost like the Aful has a smoother, upper mid/treble response. Slightly more forward at 2k but then smoothened out after that.

Damn, hope someone compares those!

When I go to hifigo and type “AFUL” in the search box it is showing $999. We can hope that it is a placeholder price.
It is, don’t worry!

I feel like Aful has the tuning people wanted/expected Oracle Mk II to have.
EDIT: no it just looks more like Mk II than OG
So Vulkan is mini-U12
Aful is mini Oracle/Monarch
At least I get why they both seem so damn intriguing to me

The people with preview reviews all seem to think/hint that Aful will be sub-$300, but that it should be closer to $200 than not
