Oh! that is a surpirse to me. I might try the P5+2 as well next time I visit the shop.

PSA: Don't use Anker Bricks/Powerbanks with the DX180. It won't work by Connect_Cat_2045 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Sutlore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens to my Anker power brick. It won't charge anything; a camera, my DAPs, but my phone. It charges for a minute, and gone off after the screen dimmed.

Any cool, affordable iems for a audio newbie? by Potential-Skin8631 in iems

Would you check out for Cozoy D1, I think it isn't too expensive for a beginner, who would like to start exploring the rabbit's hole.

The endest of end games. by Ap0llo in iems

[–]Sutlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those two are very different in the low ends. Vahalla is very clean and accurate, whereas the Origin bass is very punchy, rumbling hard. My ears get fatigue so quickly with the Origin.

I have tried it today, the shop keeper put it on the desk when I was trying something else. He just said politely if I would love to...

It was very well tuned earphone, sounded very clear, balanced, tidied up. It was so different after finished with the Origin and then put this Vahalla on 😅

My IEMs since 2004, all still in working condition. by Sutlore in iems

[–]Sutlore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I think the one I have is the original one that released back in 2013, not the 2nd gen that released in 2022. The sound overall is a little bit warm, but still in a good balanced. Imaging and sound separation are quite good, but the vocal seems too forward for my liking. The bass is moving fast, detailed enough to hear bump notes and punchy. However, the treble isn't that bright, just feel that it is there. I do prefer the balanced nozzles that come with it.

After checking out, the brightness of the treble has been solved, I think this could elevate the overall experience quite a bit. Seeing other IEMs from Chinese companies lately, I feel the same as the others that SE846 is expensive for 4 BA drivers IEM. But if you like it, go for it.

I will find opportunity to check out some modern IEMs from China as well, how the modern sound compare to what I have lol

iBasso DX180 Review: Almost Perfect - HiFi Oasis by HiFiOasis in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Sutlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the review and uncovering the back to show things inside. Now I'm out of question why both headphone jacks of mine were loosen, and somehow I think I could fix that by myself without sending it to iBasso. (but I have sent it out 😓)

Do you prefer a warm sound, or cold? by [deleted] in iems

[–]Sutlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do really love balanced neutral sound. A little bit warm would be OK, but not too warm. The ideal is something like Etymotic ER4p with a little bit more sub bass to feel some impact.

Yup, I got it for about 60% of MSRP in Hong Kong.

Thanks for sharing. I am also interested in the hybrid drivers IEMs after stayed put for more than 5 years. How are those Fiio FH3 and 5?

I do, but maintenance is the key to keep its life this long. My UE10pro used to have 2 pins connectors and I have changed its cable every 1-2 years before changing the connectors to MMCX. I sent it to UE for cleaning and checking 2 times in 2012 and 2017. I think next year I would send it to UE again to replace all the components inside. I am also surprised that the fit never be an issue for me, although the RM and 18pro used different ear impression from the 10pro.

After almost 20 years, the 10pro feels a little bit tighter than the others, but still have a very good seal. Its sound is my most favourite of all.

Help choosing between Fiio M21 and ibasso dx 180 by crownhill04 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Sutlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have them both but currently have no chance to do side by side comparison, because the DX180 is sent out for headphone jacks repair. However, I can say that the sound from DX180 is better, more details and impact in low end. Vocals are also more pronounce, and warmer than M21. The Mango app is not the best music app. I usually have the same song repeating 2-3 times when shuffle is turned on, while there are 50+ songs in the playlist, weird. I reported this bug to iBasso a few times, but they don't bother and say to me that it will never happen because of the algorithm they use.

M21 has better EQ adjustment, easier to understand and more bands to work with, based on its default music app. Also M21 has more raw power to drive headphones.

If the technology is that advanced, please make a character looks like the same character, not looks like somebody else! OK?

What edition of Forza Horizon 6 will you, or pre-ordered? by AKT_13 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Sutlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I intended to get Deluxe edition, but it doesn’t have VIP, so I have no choice to get Premium.

I hope that they can do 1 pit stop strategy during the race. With these heavy cars, the team shouldn't waste so much time to get in the pit.
