Resistance measurements for the Openheart cables:
0.2 ohms for both
I’m really digging the leather straps that came with the cables. Easy to use and they work really well. Compared to the velcro stirps that a lot of iems/cables come with its night and day.
So, I have asked this question directly to GS Audio on AE, and their rep has answered in a matter of seconds
They recommend some of their all-BA sets, namely the ST4 or ST6B, for “powerful, direct and fast bass”.
Looking at their FR graph I would have prefered ST6A for V and treble region, but hey I am no sound engineer and shouldn’t pretend.
They are both dual-BA bass : Sonion 38 + Knowles 22955 on ST4, Sonion 38 + 37 on ST6B.
And that sweet Sonion 23 for mids.
Given the quality of GD3A I may well take the plunge. But Oracle looks promising too
That blue green would look so good with the reecho & peacock spring
Edit: haha I notice now I’m not the first to mention it.
Is CE white the clear transparent iris? How do they compare to the 2.0, worth an upgrade?
The ST6A is the one I think looks better (graph). Due to the treble on the B version might be too much, this is important for your genres as well.
I think you should ask for a graph comparing the ST6A and the ST6B (oh and dont forget to tell them to “normalize at 1000hz”).
(I wouldnt look at the ST4 though, sonion > knowles.)
Yes, CE white is the clear/white transparent version.
As far as the preliminary impressions go, the white version is the worst out of the Irises and the 2.0 is a very impressive bud. I wouldnt call it a “true” upgrade though, because the 2.0 is warmer and has a different tonality.
Btw @Rikudou_Goku are you planning on buying or asking for a review unit of those new “tribrid wars” iems?
Also what about the MELE?
Penon/shenshen/linsoul doesnt send stuff to me. So yeah…
Not really interested in this gen of EST´s though since I can already get more bass from the EST112 with the tape mod (which is what I wanted my next EST to do).
I believe @hawaiibadboy is going to send me the MELE.
So last week, I decided to take out my Tin T3 just to clean a lil bit. I gave a listen and it had such a bad audio and electrical interference. It was painful. I was worried if something bad happened to the T3, I quickly changed to my FD5 cable to check again and the T3 sounded okay. I didn’t want my T3 to have no cable so I just ordered some random cable online. It arrived today and boy does it feel nice to hold. I cautiously put it on my T3 and it sounded right as rain! I was worried if the T3 would be unusable but I’m glad I’m still able to use it. Strangely enough, it’s being kept in the FD5 pouch all these while. Quite a shame I can’t use the T3 cable anymore cause it looks quite nice to look at. =(
Not gonna lie, it suddenly feels nice to listen to a different IEM after using the FD5 for so long. T3 still sounds good.
The late T3 cable on the left, new cable in the middle and the FD5 on the right. I could’ve used my spare CP100 but it looks kinda nice with the stock FD5 balance tips.
If you’re wondering what cable it is. Definitely a cheapo cable. About 15USD if converted.
JCALLY cables aren’t really good tbh. They are surpassed by newer cables that came out after the Faaeal (A3).
Yeah I figured. I was recommended a better cable with the same brand name. Furukawa 5N Single Crystal Copper cable, but I declined and just got this one for my T3 in the mean time. I could’ve asked you guys for advice but I was afraid to leave my T3 out naked like that hahaha.
I did found another local selling a bunch of cables but I just didn’t feel like browsing. There’s Yinyoo, Hillaudio, TRN and of course JCALLY. I’ll leave a link below just in case you wanna take a look.
Not familiar with hillaudio but the other cables aren’t really good.
Ok, thanks! Will wait for your final thoughts on the 2.0. Tossing up between that and the X6 for now… probably should buy both at their cost
I say get both. They are different from each other and will serve different purposes.
K´s LBBS is legit.
Not sure which one to review first though, either the LBBS or the Iris 2.0.
I let you guys vote lol.
LBBS I love the set, fitwise.
wow, literally custom made for the Land.
