its just something thats good to know, knowing where you are sensitive to.

Being able to identify which frequency range causes trouble, using an EQ to experiment? A really good idea. I’ll try it out before long.

Yes, knowing what you can/cannot handle is invaluable going forward.

I never thought to dial it in using EQ, excited to try soon.
I’ve never known to say if I’m treble sensitive or not, because for example the FD5 posed zero treble issues for me — but meanwhile there have been times a set is universally loved but for me it’s sibilant on all the sung consonants. Testing wise I can usually hear up to somewhere between 18-20kHz, but I’m guessing there are certain ranges of treble that bother me more. So far my experience has led me to believe too much of an 8kHz spike is an issue.
Historically I’ve been able to take quite the upper mid/pinna gain hike (NM2+, SSR), and often desired that for “bite”, but I think that’s been changing lately.
Thats why EQ is helpful. (specifically PEQ)
So you can just try lowering specific areas (or increasing) to see what you are sensitive to.
2021-12-04: Tanchjim Echo
Impressions (after stacking another Tanchjim filter on it):
Bass: Very clean bass due to the sub-bass focus and pretty low mid-bass. Is on the tighter and faster side, not that much texture though. Extension is pretty good though, but doesn’t rumble that much.
Mids: Male vocals are a bit veiled and recessed, but they are clean at least. Pretty good female vocals, with good timbre.
Treble: Airy and on the brighter side, not particularly peaky but quantity is on the higher side.
Overall: While it is a pretty competent tuning (after stacking another filter that are included, as it is a bit too shouty and too much treble in stock), I am not sure about it as a TWS iem. The low bass quantity and higher treble quantity is not a good match to be used outside, where bass is lost quickly and the need to increase the volume to compensate for that is likely to be needed.
EDIT: Lasted 4 hours from 85-90% to 5% on APTX Adaptive.

Both cables measures pretty bad at 0.92 (copper) and 0.95 (silver). Only donut foams are included and they tear instantly.
Forget about the Lyra nature LE, this is embarrassingly bad. Calling it overpriced is an understatement. It isnt competing at its price (400 usd) range, its competing at the sub 10 usd range.
Literally has worse soundstage and timbre than something like the Faaeal Iris 2.0 with comparable detail imaging and separation. What a joke.

Yeah, uhm. Not recommended. Instead of sending out review units to shillers, use that money to actually do something good….

I feel that I am compelled to say: I am watching Dragon Ball Z Kai with my seven year old. Simply because of @Rikudou_Goku’s name.
I watched most of Dragon Ball and DBZ sub decades ago, but nothing after that.
Thanks for reminding me that it exists! He loves it!
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

This makes me feel old.
We will get there. Right now I have to buy Kai ($60 a season?!?!) because there is no other way to watch it easily. And, I don’t want watch subtitled anything with my seven year old.
Are those available in a good dub? (something like Kai?)
Yes, Funimation has them dubbed.
(sailing the seven seas is another option 
)
I started a trial only to discover they don’t have Kai. Which wasted my trial. Telling me you have a show then to not deliver it is one of those things that gets you blocked by me. Funimation is on shaky ground. Maybe I’ll sign up directly instead of through apple tv to avoid the issue.
I stopped doing that a long time ago. I don’t mind paying for stuff (you know, once I made money and could justify it). I plead the fifth as to how I saw it decades ago.

So my Shure AONIC 215 I felt like had a similar messiness in the treble that the KZ DQ6 had. So inspired by @Rikudou_Goku I put the same cheap chinese AliExpress filters he recommends for the DQ6 in them. And… they sound better! Marked improvement! These things sound great!
Hey lookit me I’m an IEM modder!

(if you wanna play with it more, you could for example, cut it in half if you dont want it to dampen too much or even put in another one if you want it to dampen more.)

Quick question for all of you XINHS boys; do his standard .78" 2pin connectors (on the cables) fit well in recessed 2pin IEMs (like Fearless and GS Audio use), or does anyone know if he has some type that does fit those sockets well? Thanks in advance!
