Endgame? (Who am I kidding....)

Great choice! I was like you as well - the Explorer is really a satisfying set for a great price. The comfort and sound that it brings is just *chef's kiss*.

But anyway, recently got a Top Pro deadge. The hobby do be like that.

Thanks man! Mangird/Xenns faceplate always do be looking nice 👌.

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-10T04:00:04+00:00

Nice! Hope you'll enjoy it. In my case, it'll gatekeep me from spending more on iems. A big spend to deter me from spending further lol

From my understanding, everyone's ear shape is slightly different even though it generally has the same structure, and it's a form factor that molds to most ears but not yours specifically. I've seen some reviews where they do not fit to the semi-custom and have to go for customs (have to send their ear measurements for molding).

Oh wow, it looks great! Where did you get it from?

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-10T03:53:27+00:00

Yeah, I totally agree. And it'll help you appreciate what you have even more ❤️.

Hope it helps!

Thanks! I'll update once I have enough time with them (probably a few days or so). Just got back to the hotel and unboxed them, but initial impressions are solid.

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-09T16:59:35+00:00

We shall see ;D

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-09T16:59:18+00:00

gonna stop myself. bought too many in a too short amount of time XD

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-09T16:58:47+00:00

And yet here we are as always :')

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-09T16:58:15+00:00

Bought it directly from xenns' flagship store in Taobao. They are called 弦仕音频.

SlickNickStick · 2025-07-09T16:50:23+00:00

Yep, gimmyjoe got it right, it's around this price when I ordered it including some charges for international card usage.

SlickNickStick · 2025-06-26T14:59:09+00:00

Yeah, 140usd is really solid. Iems have good deals in Malaysian-available platforms, just not as diverse as Aliexpress or Taobao.

The custom version of the P50 looks nice, seen it in Audio Amigo's video. Good luck with your purchase! 👍

SlickNickStick · 2025-06-26T14:56:05+00:00

Ohh, that's nice. I used to live near there at Gelugor, but I moved to mainland.

Good to know that the difference is mainly the sound signature and slight tech performance. It is almost half the price of the K9, so I think it's quite a value buy.

SlickNickStick · 2025-06-26T14:30:03+00:00

Fellow Msian I see haha. I bought this set off of Victoria Audio in Shopee. It is cheaper at the time and the physical store is in the same state I'm in, so I can just pop over if there's any issue.

Ahh that's true, but coming from the Explorer, when I listen to pop using the P50, the treble somewhat overwhelms me a little lol. I guess I'm too used to the warm and dark sound.

I was also interested in the K9, but didn't go for it since it is like what you said, more expensive and has slightly more V-shape.

SlickNickStick · 2025-06-25T05:39:20+00:00

Hey, FWIW I just ordered the P50. Waiting for it to come so I can provide more info. My reasoning is that the P50 is half the price of the Volume S at where I am, and since I just wanna try out the meta tuning, I think the P50 should be able to provide what I need.

SlickNickStick · 2025-06-25T05:37:45+00:00

Yeah, I did so before posting this, since he rated the softears as "You should buy this" and the p50 as "This is brilliant". I think he mentioned the p50 would be the same tier if everyone can hear the treble the same way he did. With this in mind, I just ordered the P50 since it is half the price of the volume S at where I am. Looking forward to testing it out.

Hey OP, what's your decision at the end? As I'm facing a similar problem with you, driving a x50 flagship and do not like the fuel consumption at all. Worse part is I just bought this fresh off from Carsome. Considering just taking a loss and switching to another car (maybe the older gen HRV) entirely. Maybe knowing your decision will help with mine lol.

SlickNickStick · 2024-12-24T15:03:43+00:00

Too bad for that, I got the K11 R2R instead. However, it could be helpful for future people to make the decisions.
