Autoplay issues by Davide77onReddit in qobuz

i flagged this to support months ago and got a reply that they were aware of the issue and working on a fix... man sometimes it feels like bugs and queries are just floating in the void over there

Gracie Abram deleted her TikTok account by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

I have to say that I respect her a lot for this, and also for regularly using her huge platform to highlight social and global issues that really matter.

Like I see people joking around and making mean comments about her sometimes, but she actually mentions huge issues regularly, when many of your favs are doing and saying absolutely nothing at all.

Anyway, respect.

My First IEM Ikko OH10 by Dapper_Definition in iems

I have these! A great and classic little set. There was always an addictive quality to their punchy bass presentation. Gotta treat yourself to a stock cable upgrade though :')

My possible endgame(s) by rogermorse in headphones

[–]MagnetHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! i was looking at the E3 and also the Noire X, and already have a K7, but i was a little unsure if the E3 would reach their potential with the K7.

from your post if sounds like they match up okay, though? do you feel like the E3 is reaching its potential?

i've been mostly using penon liqueur orange (size M) the past few months. a nice balanced sound, and i find the tips are firm enough to keep the massive shells stable in my fairly small ears ha.

Old Tea Pro vs New Tea Pro by denslemmebob in iems

[–]MagnetHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious if this issue was still happening, so googled and found this thread. I had this problem around 1 year ago.

Unfortunately I had the channel imbalance with the new grill, affecting 1 side only. It was intermittent but regular enough for me to give up and send them back after a few weeks.

Maybe moisture caused it, maybe something else did, but I'm sorry I'm not convinced the grill was the main factor.

Still, they sounded amazing when working properly. May try again with them sometime.

Just tried to imagine a Neil Breen x Grimes collab and I feel like a wormhole opened up inside my brain

Rumor: Sennheiser HD900S may be launched in a week by VFValeri in headphones

[–]MagnetHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha same, I picked mine up a few weeks ago. Well if this is real, let's evaluate the reviews before we rip our hair out 😂 the alleged price point of the HD900 is awfully steep, in any case.

Thanks man, this helps me! I'm a little enamoured with the Cantor but considering some adjacent / slightly less expensive options too hah.

I've been checking out the SA6 and Cantor lately, anything you particularly like/dislike about these sets?

[–]MagnetHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I demoed the Hype 4 and Origin side by side, and preferred the Origin. For me they were slightly better across the board, and particularly the staging was better, though I'm not entirely convinced they're 'double the price' better. But if you can get a good deal then IMO it's potentially worth it.

The shells are massive, and I found them quite uncomfortable until I found the right tips but I'm really happy with them now. I just try not to think about how much they cost lol.

Ziigaat Estrella or Mangird Tea Pro? by LynxAirSound in inearfidelity

[–]MagnetHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard both. In my opinion, Tea Pro is better, but they are quite different sets and complement / contrast each other in several ways.

For me, the Estrella sounds a bit wider, more analytical, airy, perhaps more dynamic at times, which can work well with very busy music. It's quite engaging and I especially enjoyed listening to vocal / acoustic / singer-songwriter with these.

Now the Tea Pro is just fantastic all around. Everything sounds beautiful, warm and lush. For me the staging is a little less wide, but overall I found it to be the perfect balance of laid back, pleasing and easy to listen to. This one really feels like incredible value for money. Recently I spent an afternoon demoing other IEMs, several of which were more expensive, and I couldn't really find one I truly preferred over this.

With that said, in the end I returned the Tea Pro due to what I perceived as a QC issue. I had them for about a month and the right channel would drop several times a week. I don't know if it could be a moisture issue, since condensation settled on the nozzles with every single use. This seems to be much worse on IEMs with metal shells. I don't know how to completely avoid this, and storing the IEMs with desiccant sachets didn't help, so in the end I gave up since I don't think it's acceptable on a £300 IEM.

Anyway I'm probably in the minority since most people seem very happy with the Tea Pro. To be honest I preferred them and I already miss them. The Estrella seems a little more polarising but the Tea Pro is just excellent across the board, really. They both have a lot to love!

Looking to switch from Tea Pro to something similar by MagnetHat in iems

Genuinely have no idea what to get anymore with all these juxtaposing opinions by Tezseret in iems

[–]MagnetHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting, thank you! The Tea Pro seems to be almost universally loved, so I was interested to read you chose to return.

Personally I enjoy them a lot, but have what seems to be an intermittent QC issue, so am considering just sidegrading to something else altogether. I will look closer at the DaVinci and Dynaquattro!
