RikudouGoku's Database (IEMs/Earbuds/Headphones Ranking list)

Damn, Oxygen sounds really shouty and thin to my ears. I’m definitely digging IE300’s mid-bass boost. TRN BA15 is a disaster.

That’s hilarious since there are westerners who drop ship stuff off of AliExpress, so they might be drop shipping a drop shipment. #dropshipallyhewaydown

And I thought they haven’t had enough shills.

SeeAudio Bravery rant #2
(Based on my first impressions notes)

Alright, what tonality does it have? Mildly-V-shaped? What is the priority for someone wanting a Mildly-V-shaped tonality? It can’t be bass or treble right? Well, because if it is. Why the fuck, would you include a Sonion BA (which are mostly known for their Bass or their timbre) and let it do the MIDS, instead of the bass or treble?

Instead, you are using Knowles for both the bass and treble, when Knowles´ pros/cons vs Sonion, is their technicalities and clarity. Which would be better put to use for the mids rather than the bass/treble. Where Sonion BA´s are more like a DD for the bass and more natural sounding for the treble (the treble being IMO the most difficult area to get timbre right).

Why have a laidback tuning, using Knowles treble BA, just to dampen it and thus, removing the pro (technicalities/resolution) it has against Sonion treble BA´s.

Feels like a wasted potential to me…

Oh and before anyone asks me if I can come up with a better combination with 3 Knowles and 1 Sonion BA.

Well, then.

  1. IF I wanted laidback tuning, that has relaxed treble and not too much bass, I would use the 3 Knowles BA for the bass/mids and dampen them so the coherency is matching the Sonion BA that is doing the treble. Because Sonion BA´s have a more relaxed and natural timbre, that’s why it is doing the treble where it is the easiest to screw up the tonality with too sharp/fatiguing treble and unnatural timbre. The Knowles for the bass is more fitting because they are cleaner and doesn’t have as much impact as a Sonion (which is similar to a DD) so it will be more of a laidback tuning.
  2. IF I wanted a V-shaped tuning, that emphasizes the bass, I would use the Sonion for the bass to get that DD-like bass from it and then the Knowles for the mids/treble and dampen them so they match the Sonion. Only difference between setup 1 and 2, is that nr 2 will have a more dynamic and more engaging bass, so its not as laidback as nr 1.

(assumption; that Sonion BA´s have a more natural timbre, more relaxed/warmer and also more DD-like when acting as a woofer.)

@Rikudou_Goku any 2 cents bout these sets?

Dont have them, but looks like I would need my foam mod.

(DQ6 is probably superior)

Yeah weird treble.

Looks like typical KZ treble

Unless im getting scammed, ill tell you in the next couple of days

A couple of days? Guess you went with express shipping again on budget sets lol.

Yap, 50/50, either it arrives or it doesnt :slight_smile:

It’s 15 bucks so no big deal. I’ll give it to you later for review if you want and they arrive :joy:

@Rikudou_Goku

The challenge if you dare to accept it…

I need a good cable rec for my KZ IEMs, but I want to order from Amazon because I don’t want to have to wait over a month to get it. I’d like 4.4mm or 2.5mm balanced.

Thank you!

Cable A3, thats actually the cable I use on the DQ6. Although it does stick out a bit due to the forward 2 pin connector…

If you want a complete flush connection, there is the Tripowin C8

(QDC connector is what you want.)

if you want more options, I guess @paulwasabii would know more about your amazon options, since he is also in the US.
