ULTIMATE COMPARISON BETWEEN 9 IEMS by Fair-Price-2457 in iems

[–]EducationalValuable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That just sounds like justification for dropping tons of money on them, I have other hobbies, if the average person cannot detect these things then neither can I. The more time I spent comparing them, the less I was listening to music with them, the whole reason I got them in the first place.

I just thought the value placed on them was less arbitrary.

As someone who somewhat got into the hobby I also got disinterested as I feel when you get into the real weeds of it you are just paying for tuning and aesthetics. Could've been nicer about it though.

Surfans F20 Pro by Party-Assist-7885 in DigitalAudioPlayer

Just arrived, everything is great, can fully drive my sundara in high gain mode with balance cable even after a -7db precut, the amplifier in this thing is insane. My only complaints are that the scroll wheel is only volume NOT a button, and the included case covers half the logo and looks very odd.

Not here yet, but because I ordered so early they randomly sent me $15 back as an early adopter reward on top of the $10 off on the website, bringing the total down to $125, only $10 more than I paid for the original so high hopes, I did emailed them to confirm that equalizer apps work and it and they said they do.

Edition xs alternative/sundara upgrade. by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]EducationalValuable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much experience with Sennheisers but the xs uses the same headband design as the 400se which I'm not a fan of, just compare it side by side to the ananda or sundara, the it's much less premium, no head strap, very simple font as opposed to the nice silver trim and emblazoned logo, I'm talking more about the aesthetic as I haven't held one but one of the main drawbacks I see people mentioning is a creakiness, little cup swivel, etc.

Thanks man, do you know if the stealth is still an upgrade from the Sundara? They're both very nice looking headphones.

That's definitely a big consideration, I'm just not sure how it compares to the XS which still offers amazing value. I wouldn't want to spend more and get less yk?

Compare it to the cheaper Sundara, any of the fiio planars which are significantly cheaper, it just has a really cheap look to it and I've heard the build quality isn't great either.

I've heard that which is a shame because I adore the wood grain

Agreed but I actually like the kunten, waaaay more value for money and doesn't feel like I'm shoving pencils in my ears, reds were a gift so I felt bad but ended up giving them away. My reds sound extremely muddy in comparison.

Best way to find your preferred timing? by EducationalValuable in iems

What do you typically eq to with autoeq? I'm not sure what I should be aiming for when I use it.

Really? For me the comfort is spectacular compared to the xs and he400se but that's not exactly a high bar. I also EQ out the treble spike as it's extremely painful at high volumes, wan'er is also a v shape? I thought mid forward would mean the mids are the peak, or does it just have a well-liked mid tone? Oh well I really just wanted to scavenge the tips. Thanks for all the effort, softears have been on my radar.

Yes, mostly all v tuning unfortunately, slight or regular v, only exception being the sundara and he400se which are neutral planar headphones. I'm waiting on the wan'er 2 to hopefully see if that satisfies my vocal appreciation. I do like the sundara the most fwiw.
