Hello mates, have anyone faced a channel imbalance problem with olina or get a faulty unit ?
I bought olina cause i never heard about QC issues (100$ is much for me actually due to personal situation and country economy situation).
My olina arrived normal and working right but, after few days of use the volume of the left bud is reduced by 2 to 3 dbs approx. By ear (using channel balance of wavelet).
Immediately i thought its moisture issues but, after letting it for a day to dry in room temp., another day in silica, filters replacement and trying it without filters the issue still exists.
Could it be me somehow ?! (I babysit it actually)
is there anything to try before contacting lensol (AliExpress store) for a replacement?
Note:(The set is amazing, but of course not with destroyed center image and positioning)
Happy to be with you all sir whatever the circumstances.
Iâve contacted lensol actually yesterday day but they took about 25 hours to reply.
So, i asked here hoping itâs not faulty or someone has this problem and fixed it but, i have to wait.
Is the email replies faster than AliExpress store ?
Hey bro, sorry you are having a problem. Linsoul was doing some team bonding work for a few days. They should reply quick if you contact them on Discord.
@hawaiibadboy if I like the presentation of MEXT but want the vocals to be more forward & maintain the less piercing treble would MEST INDIGO be a good choice?
Thatâs cool but EQ doesnât address some of the Olinaâs bass issues. Itâs underdamped. Added filter in the nozzle also does better with upper range resonance than EQ will. Donât get me wrong. what youâre doing is great but adjusting FR itâs not the great equalizer to determine whether a device has better bones or not.
Bit of a tip for Olina moisture issues, get a little bit of 99% alcohol on a q-tip or tissue and dab on the filter then lightly blow on it for a bit to dry. The alcohol will absorb and make whatever moisture present evaporate within seconds. Iâve done this several times whenever I hear some kind of channel imbalance and it doesnât affect the filters or their adhesive at all as long as youâre reasonably gentle and not squashing or pushing down into anything. It immediately clears things up and ready for use.
This should work with any IEM with similar filters thatâs prone to getting clogged with moisture
Yeah that one is usually the go to solution, not only for the Olina, but for every IEM I own as well, for my ears tend to give a lot of those so called moisture and slippery feel to the ear tips when I have been wearing my own set for a very long time. The moisture as well clogs the sounds of my own IEMs particularly my Airships, but with a bit of alcohol and wiping gets the job done, though a bit annoying when it happens.
