thanks itā€™s a panzer 3. at the moment only tekken really, I dabble a bit with undernight. I used to play a lot of sf3, 4, kof13, and blazblue. I played a bit of most 2d fighters but Iā€™m pretty out of practice in 2d at this point. I really hope kof 15 is good and has decent netcode but thatā€™s probably asking a lot at this point lol.

Oh wow, thatā€™s good to know. Coming from 2D fighters I find Tekken very hard to learn since thereā€™s so many movesets but I enjoy watching Aris play and also some Evo sets. Uniel is really fun too, I mostly played it when it came out. Iā€™m pretty decent at sf3 and 4 if u ever wanna play a few on fightcade/steam.

I didnā€™t enjoy the Oriā€™s but would be interested in how well they pair with the Lawton cups. Iā€™m going to put up the Ori pads for sale soon. If anyone wants em lemme know.

I may end up ordering Eikon pads, as they were recommended for me by @Hazi59.

Heā€™s modded the 610 before.

So, these just came in:

Itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve played with IEMs; being quarantined next to my headphone rig and all of my cans has had me taking advantage of those circumstances. Nevertheless, this has been the only IEM on my watchlist for months, and when it went on sale (ever so briefly, it seems) I jumped without hesitation.

Naturally, I had to tempt fate, so the first track I ran through these was ā€œDisappointedā€ by Nine Inch Nails. The bass impact is sublime. There is a weight and slam to the deepest notes that belies the BAs driving them. Itā€™s not punchy like a DD (e.g., Atlas), but it imparts a similar deeply pleasant sense of gravitas.

Iā€™ll have to break out the Campfires to run them through some comparative testing, but itā€™s immediately obvious to my why these have gotten the acclaim they have. Theyā€™re remarkable.

I will just try the driver tune up on Monday.

So, you bought the cups and the driver tune-up before you even owned the 'phones?

I have other headphones, but yes. My build was contingent on the availability of the Chambers (cups) that I wanted.

How do they sound?

Buying 1K$+ earphones and the first track you play is one called ā€œdisappointedā€.

Glad you arenā€™t :stuck_out_tongue:

Ordered a pair of the Sivga 006 from Aliexpress, because for some reason Amazon ran out. Been wanting a different pair of closed backs besides my DT770, and from what I heard of Zeosā€™ demo, I think Iā€™ll like these quite a bit. Just hope it doesnā€™t take months for them to arrive.

Looking up those headphones on Aliexpress I just wanted to point out how the check marks are red and the Xs are green. I found that a bit comical.

I ordered a pair of moondrop starfields as I want something portable thatā€™s better than my airpods and I find that it may as well be convenient enough for me to have an iem I want to use still rather than just sticking to my headphone. Also, a question for any starfield owners, do you see any improvement with a better signal chain on them or does it not scale up well?

aw man, wish i had seen that deal. Does anyone knows how this compares with the tuba?
