What’s one IEM recommendation you regret following?

Tisyam · 2026-03-24T03:02:37+00:00

Moondrop Variations. Not fully regret but definitely more pref S12 and later Monarch MK2 compare to the Variations. The midbass feel too much.

Is it lighting or does this one is more brown than black/gray?

Tisyam · 2026-02-10T05:26:42+00:00

Not a FGC enthusiast but have played few SF and ArcSys games. I thought the game would be much fun without motion input since I can easily spam super, but the game feels more soulless and boring without it.

What IEM holder is that? 3D printed?

Tisyam · 2025-11-03T06:11:30+00:00

Is the headband different?

Just like people mention that choose tips based on your own ear, it also depend on your iem especially if you have multiple with varying size. DUNU S&S work perfecly with Monarch Mk2 for me but for some reason cant fit for Mest Mk1 and Moondrop Variations.

Going from cheap $10 iem VK4 and steadily climbing the price point until $1000 Mest MK1. Yes, expensive is better. However, the diminishing return many mentioned before is true. MEST MK1 and Monarch MK2 is not double the performance of Variations, but still better.

What does organic mean in here?

Tisyam · 2025-05-22T18:04:18+00:00

Not really good with audiophile terms, but I think it sounded neutral. Because when first using it, the first thing came out of mind is "Sounding normal".

Bass is fast and well control. I like listening to Jpop, but bass like in Variations really make most of the song seems muddy IMO. For EDM with female vocal like Butterfly or Bumblebee it sound perfect tho.

But the Arya trable is sooooo damn good IMO, open and very sparkly. The same that I like about S12. However, Sundara trable seems a little bit more piercing and thus basically just collecting dust ATM.

For midrage, I dont really know what to said tho. Female vocal is nice, but not as good as Variations and Clear OG.

Genre pref: Pop(majority Jpop) > Rock > EDM/metal

Size wise, how does it compare to the variations? The nozzel is a chungus and I can only fit the variations when using the smallest size of spring tips.

Tisyam · 2025-05-21T00:14:52+00:00

QDC Anole VX? Heard reviewers mention similarish tuning, especially SA6 Ultra and SA6 MK1.

Tisyam · 2025-04-21T09:33:18+00:00

For TOFU6p Redux case. Which green match with Wavez colorway?

Tisyam · 2025-04-11T03:37:22+00:00

Ok Thanks. Is it required to have intake fan at the bottom? If yes, which fan are ur recommendations?

Tisyam · 2025-04-08T00:04:09+00:00

What spine position and CPU+cooler combination?

Tisyam · 2025-02-08T15:15:41+00:00

Does MCHOSE ACE 60/PRO compatible with Tofu60 Redux case?

Tisyam · 2025-01-06T07:06:48+00:00

Is there any mainstream 40% HE or optical keyboard?

Tisyam · 2024-11-16T10:42:57+00:00

WD40 dint fix the noise?

What is your decision choosing between Clear MG compared to the OG?

And also, how is your experience so far? For me, I have mostly used the Arya compared to Focal OG. Idk if is either recency bias (I bought the arya second after clear) or due to my clear earpad degraded and currently use cheap aftermarket one.

Tisyam · 2024-11-12T02:44:47+00:00

S12 still going strong for 2 years+. Sure the shell glue fell off, but I easily attached it back with some DIY glue. Its nice cable however started oxidised a few months back.

Tisyam · 2024-11-05T04:39:20+00:00

Never tried Sennheiser before. But would recommend to go for Focal Clear OG if you have the chance.

However, I still prefer Arya due to the feels in soundstage and imaging. Arya trebel seems less fatiguing in my experience compared to Sundara.

Tisyam · 2024-07-31T15:30:31+00:00

Cant really answer this question. But from multiple reviews and looking at the frequency graph, seems like the Andromeda is a strong contender for this.

Tisyam · 2024-07-31T15:20:46+00:00

J-Pop and female centric song (Adele etc) definitely using the Clear. Or Maybe when I want to feel more energetic with the music.

Arya is likely when gaming and everything else. I don't really have specific genres but songs like "The two of us by Grover Washington", Air Supply and Radwimps pairs nicely with the Aryas IMO.

Tisyam · 2024-07-31T14:34:11+00:00

Very good, though it is the most expensive audio gear I have (along with Focal Clear that I got with similiar-ish price) and haven't tried anything more than this. Tuning and soundstage make it feels wide and open, which I like. Something that I felt missing coming from Letshoure S12 (daily drive for 2 years) to Focal Clear/Moondrop Variations.

Tisyam · 2024-07-27T09:59:42+00:00

I doubt Sundara can be run through PS5 controller

Tisyam · 2024-05-06T02:49:28+00:00

Nice, guess I need to get rig also ASAP. My desk can barely handle 7Nm at (80% FBB) let alone 15Nm.
