šŸ”¶ Yanyin Audio Canon

For you Cannon>Ej07m?

Sorry not sure i understand the question

I think he is asking if you prefer canon to ej

The EJ really is a level higher in technical performance and staging over the Canon. The bass is definitely better on the Canon at the moment as the Lava is tuned now but my set is almost back to factory getting reshelled and retuned with sub bass basically making it more of a U shape the Lava will morph into the M version.

The Canon is fantastic value and If I wouldnā€™t have heard the EJ I probably would have stopped for a long while. On 010 love the way the Canon sounds.

So EJ > Canon

How are the canon owners getting on with them?! Itā€™s so easy being distracted by all these new iem releases but I canā€™t imagine getting more than I already have with these versatile beasts. Back on 110 tuning setting

Yanyin Canon or ISN EST50 ? Anybody own both ?

Does anyone know how to reach out to Yanyin support? I sold a pair of Moonlights but apparently new buyer is having issues with a loose connector.

I tried looking online but canā€™t seem to find a support line.

Some comparision Yanyin Canon vs one of the list?
-Raptgo Hook
-Mangird Tea Mk2
-Mangird Top
-Ikko Oh5 / Oh10

Akros on YouTube has some videos comparing the Canon with Tea (donā€™t recall if itā€™s MK1 or 2). He has all those IEMs except for the Top and IKKO I think, so you could ask him. Heā€™s on here as @Tonytex_Teixeira.

Just buy the canon mate :+1:t5:

Yanyin Canon Hard 2 Not Love!

Pros:
ā–Ŗ Shell is super comfortable, Build quality is top notch.
ā–Ŗ Excellent Isolation and fir for me.
ā–Ŗ Holographic Sound stage, Very good Width just on the outside of my ears, Not much depth really a lot of tracks feet right between your ears. Height is also there sometimes your sitting down in a small venue, sometimes your in the nosebleeds.
ā–Ŗ Micro Dynamics is fair nicely presented the Canon replays with enough emotion to make the Canon fun.
ā–Ŗ 3 Tuning switches really work and are very noticeable and the various combinations makes the Canon many different IEM's in One.
ā–Ŗ Bass and Mid Bass in 010 setting goes low and has a very enjoyable note weight and decay and great speed. Great sub extension, Lower bass transitions nicely with a gentle slope into warm and fluid mid bass.
ā–Ŗ 010 was my favorite position the bass is still has plenty of authority and fun presenting more than the graph would indicate. I LOVE THIS DD for certain genres!
ā–Ŗ Nice Case & Cable.

Cons:
ā–Ŗ Not lovers of BA or typical planar bass with the added weight the Bio Driver adds some more musical heft you might feel the bass too thick. 
ā–Ŗ For me I found vocals too present in the mix for my personal tastes so I am not shy with tweaking. Thus I kept the settings on 010 and put a 350 level black cotton filter over the screen on the nozzle I am a bit treble sensitive and this was very pleasing to my aural cavities. 

Now letā€™s get into it a bit deeper.

Completely Subjective Audio Review - Yanyin Canon

Hello all: I hope my subjective audio impressions help you determine if this IEM might be for you.

I share my impressions as I hear them with my ears.
As all our ears are different shapes & sizes so what I hear as bright or bass heavy -you might hear as dull and Vise-Versa; just something to be mindful of.

What makes my ears happy as a sound signature is slightly more aggressive U shape. I love my Bass Sub and Mid Bass love it all actually; and in large quantity. With the Bass I prefer a faster decay the faster the better as to not bleed into the mids., I am treble sensitive and prefer a darker warmer replay with good extension and a more relaxed high end with enough sparkly details for fun.

I prefer the fast speedy bass of the Beryllium Coated Driver of my Xenns Mangird UP and KiwiEars Cadenza. Of course there are exceptions in the market - as I also find the bass of the Bio Diaphragm used in the Yanyin Canon special - has some special sauce like a 8" subwoofer that feels like a 12" Has the slam and some serious sub bass! And the super cool Copper Alloy Shell IKKO Obsidian OH10 does some magic to the bass.

My music Library is widely varied from; Metallica, Great White, Cowboy Junkies, Pink Floyd, Adelle, Melisa Ethridge, Hania Rani, Vivaldi, Fleetwood Mac, Five for Fighting, Manskin, Poncho Sanchez, Jimmy Smith, Chopin, The Crystal Method just to name a few.

That dripple being said:
And as such here is my take on the: Yanyin Canon (Bought with my $)

Sources: E1DA SG3 (ES9038), Shanling UP5 (ES912), TEMPOTEC Serenade X (ES9219) Geshelli JNOG J2 with AKM4493 chip. iBasso DX160 (Cirrius Logic CS43198)
DAP/TRASPORT: From Lenovo Laptop with Amazon Unlimited ULTRA HD, iBasso DX160 ,Samsung S22 Ultra with DSD Files.
Amps: LoxjiP20 tube amp and Topping A90D
Tips Used for Best Result for me and completely subjective: Short Wide Bore are my go to and I wanted to bring forth as much vocals as possible with maximizing stage. On the Canon I have the KBEAR 07 Yellow L tips.
Cable after rolling I used is the KBEAR Hazy 6N Graphene I got on sale for $30. I could NOT hear a difference with the other cables I have but did not try a pure silver one as I didnā€™t want to emphasise the highs.

COMPARISIONS:

IKKO Obsidian OH10 I heard before I bought the Canon from another member the Canon was similar to the Obsidian.
So do they sound similar? Nope not at all. On setting 101 they graph very close. But the OH10 looks like it shough have the more energy up top but it does not present itself this way. Kind of like the highs on the Xenns Up donā€™t look they would be present in the mix either but they certainly are.
Stage on the Obsidian is better for my preference not as wide but vocals are more forward in front of you and less in the middle of your head vs the Canon. I find the OH10 so much smoother in vocals as they are a tad recessed and my personal preference.

Bass is more thumpy with the Canon but after that the OH10 again shines with a special sauce that the Canon does not pull off for me as much as the Obsidian. Sub Bass the Obsidian devastates the Canon in quality and quality.
Overall I would have to say the OH10 bass is cleaner with less bleed. I have said this before the IKKO is on my special list and is one IEM I wont sell.

LETSHOUER EJ07M Resin Custom Tuned w +3db Sub Boost.
Not a quite a fair comparison with the price and driver count.
That being said how does the Canon stack up?
Quite well actually , Vocals are much closer on the Canon to the EJā€™s than to the OH10 , The EJā€™s still play a bit warmer in the vocals and not as much sizzle. The stage on the Canonā€™s are not as 3D as the EJā€™s but do well stacked up against a IEM over double the price.

Bass is again more thumpy and there is more Mid bass coming though in the mix on the Canon, Where the EJā€™S have more Sub Bass and a faster cleaner decay.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
The Yanyin Canon is not quite all rounder as its has a surprising fat low end in the mix, and thatā€™s also why I like it very much. The Bio DD does some libraries extremely well. Rock, punk, pop and yet when it comes to Female vocals they sound super clean and detailed. I find I donā€™t miss the Est drivers of some of the other IEMā€™s I have as the treble exertion is more than enough and more for me.
Tom Cochrane , Lars, Melisa Ethridge , Sade , Adelle all sound great.

IT HAS TUNING SWITCHES THAT WORK! That is why the Canon is great Value this IEM can be many things to many different people , great fit , build , accessories and very little cons it does almost everything extremely well as a set in the mid $350 price rage I think it should appeal very much to those still looking for their preferred sound signature and a great all around IEM .

Cheers TheDeafMonk.

One year since I received the Canons from @ttorbic and itā€™s the longest Iā€™ve gone without buying a more expensive set than the one Iā€™ve currently got. If these decide to fail on me, Iā€™ll most likely buy another pair. Giving these a break recently and listening to the EA500 made me realise I donā€™t think I can buy better. The EA500 are so close to my preferred tuning that I realised I already have my preferred tuning (010). Happy listening to you all :fist:t5:

Thanks for the shout-out and glad youā€™re enjoying them! Iā€™ve ordered a pair of EA500 as well :facepunch:t3:

I would say try the ISN H50 if you love the Canon you will love this one as well.

A slightly different presentation dont look at the graph it just doesnā€™t make sense. Video out tomorrow TDM.

The H50 does things hard to explain with the texture of the notes like the 64 Audio U12t but more musically.

Not on the same level as 64 Audio but a truly special IEM
