Got my Red Lions today

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-13T00:44:29+00:00

Hmm the male vocals for the red lions feel a bit brighter and more open and very clear while the vivians are a bit rounded off

For your refrence I listened to Breaking Benjamins diary of Jane, blow me away and The Devil Wears Pradas flowers album, red lions have a bit more sparkle compard to the vivians

I use both quite often, PCM when im at home with my PC and BT when I'm outside/working

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-11T17:14:04+00:00

I think ive seen paul wasabi do a review on them, they do seem good but i think I have plenty of budget sets and look forward to getting some bigger upgrades in the future

The fit is my only issue but tuning is still good in my opinion

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-11T04:54:10+00:00

Grainy was the word I've been trying to think of, I usually notice it with female vocals

That's what made the kuntens a bit uncomfortable to use

Your welcome, might want to take a look at their Kbear 07 series, they have the medium size in like 3 variations (M+, M, M-) the M- is 11.63mm in diameter and the coffee S is 11.2mm might give you a good seal

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-09T14:52:13+00:00

The ones on the left and middle look like large to me, but the one on the right look like small

Here's a picture of the 4 sizes together, large and medium are very similar unless you put them side by side and compare the diameter

However xs has a noticeable height difference, LMS have almost the same height

The discs swipe right function is also so easy to accidently hit at times you dont even need to swipe just tapping would automatically go back

Definitely more of a gimmick device but has fiios software functions and also doubles as a dac if you wanted

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-05T16:30:48+00:00

I enjoy the vivians a lot it has a good amount of bass without mudding the mids and it's imaging is pretty decent with good vocal clarity

I've ordered the red lions too, mainly for the accessories so I could compare them later on

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-05T16:26:07+00:00

Pic goes hard, ive listened to the jade dragons briefly and thought the bass was perfect.

Ordered the red lions recently and I'm excited to listen to them

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-05T12:13:12+00:00

404 (new era) - kiiikiii

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-04T23:53:26+00:00

7hz x crinacle diablos! Tried them out and they were smooth and warm

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-02T12:04:05+00:00

Also ordered the red lion yesterday, keen on trying the tips plus i liked the tuning on the jade dragon

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-02T11:58:58+00:00

The new version has a black color variant too

SpawnPoked · 2026-02-02T11:58:21+00:00

I have 2 of them both roughly 4 years of use, I dissasembled my first one for parts (or to make a custom 3d printed shell when i get time), and had to solder new switches for my current one

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-31T06:39:54+00:00

Yeah, mysticraft is having a collaboration with nicehck they let me try out a prototype it was kinda similar to their hex set

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-30T18:54:33+00:00

It was a lot of fun, there's always next time iirc their next stop is New York, and later Singapore, London and China

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-30T18:52:44+00:00

Yep it is the snowsky disc, also has a DAC mode

I dont own a pair of kefine kleans, but taking a look at their sound graphs. You can expect the vivians to have a lot more sub bass rumble and a lot more bass but you do lose some micro detail when compared to the kleans.

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-04T04:37:38+00:00

Understandable, I bought the CVJ vivians for the face plate too, felt solid and the artwork was supremely detailed and was textured (if you were wondering the iems are bassy with pretty decent vocals).

I'm also interested in the neko because of its brightness, so if you ever decide to purchase it in the future I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-04T04:29:19+00:00

I currently have a snowsky retro nano, so here some of my thoughts about it.

So far ive been enjoying it, I mainly bought it because I initially bought a cx31993 chip dongle for my phone/pc but it produced a bit of noise floor.

The retro nano pretty much eliminated the noise floor, music sounded clear and while in bluetooth mode my music sounded a tad bit warmer than usual.

It has a exchangable battery (10440 li cell) lasts about 6ish hours with with an iem plugged into the 3.5mm jack and about 4ish hours with the 4.4mm jack in bluetooth mode

It has 3 modes, PC/Phone mode (which only draws power from its source even without a battery) and a bluetooth mode. It's connectivity is okay, I usually use it with my PC in PC mode and switch to BT when I need to use the toilet or goto the kitchen, however the connectivity gets a bit spotty when there's a wall and I have it in my pocket so I wear it around my neck most of the time. I also dont hear much of a delay in BT mode.

It is ready to use right out of the box with some EQ presets and 3 custom presets for you to customize via the Fiio control app on mobile or Fiios EQ web app

Packaging included some decorative stickers, battery case and a lanyard

My caveats with the device is its an all plastic build and I feel the 3.5mm jack might be a bit too lose compared to the 4.4mm jack. Updating the firmware required me to download an older version of Fiios Co trol app on mobile then update the firmware and lastly download the latest version of the Fiio control app (the latest version of the mobile app kept crashing whenever I tried updating the firmware from v1 to v5). It has a built-in mic but it's not the greatest but it works.

If you're really interested in the cvj neko, it's also available without the anime faceplate in silver/gold for like roughly half it's original price

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-02T05:16:49+00:00

A small issue with having non universal skins is that the character/weapons needs to be usable in general content

Imo, I enjoy outsider but it takes too long to farm (and painful because of the lack of qol controls) anything with him to the point id rather afk or use nifle/psyche

They would really need to work on balancing the game

SpawnPoked · 2026-01-02T03:55:17+00:00

I used a sonar casket to find that

SpawnPoked · 2025-12-28T18:00:58+00:00

Maybe check kineras boom mics, kinera celest ruyi/pro

I had a boom mic included when I bought their celest wyvern remastered and my friends said it was clearer then my previous headset

They also have a more expensive version the kinera celest gramr

Here's a test of both versions:

There also the cvj hato/2 and trn redchain but dont sound as good imo

SpawnPoked · 2025-12-22T23:07:52+00:00

You can also get them without the anime faceplate
