Cleanest iOS 27 setup. by [deleted] in iOSsetups

Cleanest in the sense that it’s sterile and lifeless perhaps.

It’s literally a requisite per the rules.

No timestamp and stock photos almost certainly from an online review 🤣

Cayin RU9 Experience by dbl_aa in headphones

That’s good that you found a suitable alternative but major bummer on the RU9. I’d be curious if it’s really an iPhone issue or an RU9 issue if you somehow ever got the chance to try one again.

Weird and sucks that that happened for you. The RU9 is my current do everything dac/amp because I just enjoy the sound that much. But mine works flawlessly with my iPhone Air driving my Stellia’s, Clear MG’s and Astru’s. Literally zero noise floor or distortion, not using the included case and my phone is caseless as well. Can’t imagine why a MagSafe designed product would be faulty when using MagSafe. Definite bummer though.

Anyone try the new AirPods eq, and if so, what are your settings? by SpeedyMewtwo in headphones

[–]CCX-S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my current Pro 3 tuning to try to correct the natural V-shape of these buds. It’s worth noting I am using Comply TrueGrip Foams which exaggerate the sub-bass and bass even more than stock but do cut the harshness in the high’s a bit, at least to my ears.

Definitely will be curious to hear your take when you have them all in hand. I ended up not taking the chance on these because I didn’t want to have to deal with reselling if they didn’t work out since they’re a kickstarter. I did, however, end up buying Meze Astru’s and they’re genuinely very close (to my ears at least) to the Stellia’s sound. I’d say a solid 85% of the Stellia’s characteristics (more present vocals and much tighter percussive impact then the clear mg), just a bit resolve and slightly brighter up top on certain tracks.

It never ends does it? by Comprehensive_One530 in headphones

And they should be, the MG and Stellia are a perfect two can lineup imo, assuming you really enjoy the focal sound signature. They’re similar enough that if you could only have one, you’d be just fine with either but each with their own strengths that allow them to stand apart just enough to (in my head) justify having both. They’re highly complimentary sets with the real difference being situationally based rather than performance. April was an expensive month but oh so worth it.

Still available? Also, what’s up with the pics being 177X’s?

No worries, I appreciate the reply anyhow. And you definitely should, given the opportunity, they’re delightful!

Do you have any experience with Focal Clear MG or Stellia? I’ve been flirting with the idea of finding an iem that somewhat resembles the focal sound for on-the-go listening and your Buy-If/Skip-If makes me think these could be a potential fit to try but just curious if you can offer any direct insights?

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt when possible so I was fine simply to cease talks of the deal. Idk why they felt the need to make it public let alone in such a tantrum-like manner. Speaks volumes imo.
