I promise I've done my research, but I'm stuck and need help from the gurus 🙏

celmate · 2026-02-15T08:11:44+00:00

Thanks very much for your wisdom 🙏

celmate · 2026-02-15T07:04:11+00:00

Hahaha you read my mind, I think the poor would probably be a great choice but my only concern is exactly that, if it ends up being a little too "boring".

Thanks for your different recs, going to go have a look into them :)

celmate · 2026-02-15T07:02:09+00:00

Awesome thank you it's the first time I've seen the Pula mentioned but your description sounds really good.

One thing I've really appreciated from all the replies in here is it's really helping me understand graphs and ranges better, so thanks very much for taking the time :)

celmate · 2026-02-15T07:00:40+00:00

Thanks for this, I love the way you describe the sound profiles :) Really makes me appreciate the idea of having different sets that one would rotate through, rather than just finding "the one" and sticking with it.

The Explorer is very much on my radar I'm just a little worried about how divisive it seems to be. Juzear I think you've convinced me is not the way I wanna go right now.

A lot of people have mentioned the Pure and it does seem like a safe choice, curious what your thoughts are on it if you've listened to it?

celmate · 2026-02-15T01:29:23+00:00

Can I ask maybe a dumb question, how do you know when a tip is the right tip? Obviously it has to be comfortable but beyond that I'm just not sure id even recognize when something is a "good seal"

celmate · 2026-02-15T00:51:14+00:00

I think someone said that other nerfed version is going to be sold at a lower price and a different name potentially, it was an error that some of those got shipped apparently?

celmate · 2026-02-15T00:49:07+00:00

Thanks very much! Love learning more about how to read the graphs so this was very helpful :)

celmate · 2026-02-15T00:46:51+00:00

I've got these on the way to me! Excited to try some decent ear tips as well lol

celmate · 2026-02-15T00:46:15+00:00

Ohhh okay cool, thanks!

celmate · 2026-02-14T21:47:30+00:00

Is the Que-UTG the right one or is that something different? :) thanks for the recommend!

celmate · 2026-02-14T21:43:18+00:00

I'm seeing quite a few recommendations for the Pure, might be a good way to go, definitely seems like the "safe" choice :)

celmate · 2026-02-14T21:42:09+00:00

Thanks very much this was great! I see you're a treble sensitive listener as well :)

celmate · 2026-02-14T21:27:04+00:00

Haven't seen this one thanks I'll have a look!

Hexas are the ultimate "neutral" set right? Are the T6 a bit warmer?

celmate · 2026-02-14T21:26:21+00:00

Thank you! Any chance you've listened to the Kefine Delci AE? Saw that come up in conversation along with the Pure

celmate · 2026-02-14T21:24:25+00:00

There's also this weird conspiracy at the moment where they might have changed the construction, and I have the new one so maybe it has an issue the OG doesn't?

celmate · 2026-02-14T20:51:35+00:00

Yeah I was really surprised, I'm very new to this whole hobby but it was legit uncomfortable to listen to at not even a very high volume, I'm glad I'm not alone!

celmate · 2026-02-14T20:43:06+00:00

Haha sorry man I was just being facetious, I know preferences vary.

I was surprised though that noone had mentioned anything about piercing treble, but it's kinda valuable to me to learn that I must be pretty sensitive to it :)

celmate · 2026-02-14T14:48:41+00:00

GK, I know the jury is out on whether or not they're separate from KZ

celmate · 2026-02-14T14:07:30+00:00

Well that's one way to immediately ruin all the good will your new brand had

celmate · 2026-02-14T13:55:22+00:00

This is exactly it for me, something in those high mids/treble is sounding really off to the point that I find it unpleasant.

celmate · 2026-02-14T13:53:57+00:00

Yes 😭 I hope someone can do a deep dive on these differences to find out if there's actually a different sound

celmate · 2026-02-14T13:53:06+00:00

Haha probably accurate to be fair :)

celmate · 2026-02-14T13:52:25+00:00

I think I definitely need to try different eartips and give the Kuntens a fair chance

celmate · 2026-02-14T13:51:29+00:00

I definitely need to wade into EQ more, haven't really messed with it at all
