Got this at an unexpectedly accessible price (never thought I’d own one of the twins).
I’m unfairly biased against it because ideally I would NOT want the IEM I settle in to be at the very very top of my budget. But…
Maybe more words later, but unfortunately in a nutshell it is"better", quite significantly, then anything else I’ve tried. I’ve tried write a few IEMs by now, and had got used to them having compromised in different areas, even the $250-$500 ones I had tried.
Can’t find a flaw in these yet (that wouldn’t be a preference thing like wanting more midbass at times).
They duct make me as excited about listening as some other tunings that have come with bigger trade offs, but sadly they are growing on me all the time.
I’ve listened to the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack a lot over the years but never watched the movie. Watched it last night. Watching even a movie with these was unlike anything else I’ve experienced.
The most “headphone” like experience I’ve had, I could say.
Sorry for no especially helpful details so far. This is a special IEM.
I always liked the fit of ThieAudio shells, this is the first time I’ve really liked the tuning this much too.
One niggle is how I get some suction issues with my right ear, so far with every type of tip except one, and that one doesn’t have weird the sonic profile I prefer from tips that do have the issue.
I may not be able to justify keeping these eventually, but money being no object, I would.
I have the Aladdin and OH500 coming, there’s a chance they if I have time and keep these long enough I can make comparisons.
