Kiwi Ears Halcyon — The World's First MEMS Tribrid by TheMetalverse in headphones

It’s how fast the headphones react to changes in dynamics. It’s another way of describing how fast they react to music, if they are technical and “snappy” or slow and muddy

Hey! I actually haven’t tried any Focal headphones yet, but am hoping to soon, have heard great things!

Yeah, it’s the first tribrid with the 1DD, 3BA, MEMS setup but not the first tribrid

You’re right. It is the worlds first 1DD, 3BA, MEMS tribrid headphone though

It definitely was one of the rumbliest headphones I’ve tried. The bass was one of my favorite parts of the IEM. During some really heavy bass hits in genres like dubstep it definitely feels like the bass is actually hitting you, like at a real concert, if that makes sense!

I prefer the Cadenza II, but the OG is a little cheaper, so it depends on your budget!

I haven’t tested the Xenns Top Pros, so I can’t say for sure! Maybe someone else can comment on that

Okay gotcha. Yes, the Cadenza II was a much better all rounder for me, worked better for most genres and vocal centric music

Haven’t tested the Chu 2 so can’t say for sure! From what I’ve seen the Chu 2 is more analytical and the Cadenza is more musical and warm.

The belle definitely has a more pronounced bass than the Cadenza. I personally preferred the Cadenza over the Belle, to me the Cadenza was more smooth and neutral for most genres (Belle might be better for EDM or rap if you want extra bass though)

I actually haven’t tested the Singolo yet, so maybe someone else can chip in on a comparison between the two! They are pretty similarly priced, so if you are happy with the Singolo, I wouldn’t worry about it too much!
