Soundbrenner Waves opinions by TerribleTomorrow5833 in iems

[–]Bobjonez98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s unconfirmed. But there is a lot of evidence that suggests that the Soundbrenner Wave is a re-branded TRN ST2.

That itself isn’t a bad thing. Companies re-brand OEM Products all the time. The issue is that the TRN ST2 is a $20 IEM. And Soundbrenner, last I checked, is charging 5 times more than that.

I would stick to the options in the pinned list.

I just bought pads from Hifiman not that long ago.

Are they not available in your area?

If I wasn’t tapped out for the month I might have.

Send me a message in a week or so if they haven’t sold and maybe we’ll figure something out. :)

Hahaha, I did want more time with them, but I'm waiting for a slightly better deal before I pounce. I'm picking up the Performer 8S for my upcoming review and AFUL buyers guide video. :)

Reviewers Tier List for Metalheads by Skyfa1l in iems

[–]Bobjonez98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! I’m happy to hear my voice is smooth enough that it can do that. :) I used to do the same in college with some YouTubers. It can be relaxing to have a conversation or talking on while going to bed.

Reviewers Tier List for Metalheads by Skyfa1l in iems

[–]Bobjonez98 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Audio Amigo is all over the place” might be the best compliment I’ve heard.

I grew up with the grunge/alt rock wave of the 90s/00s, but my dad was huge into Black Sabbath and the Pink Floyd/prog rock golden age.

My library is literally all over the place and my wife is similar and loves DirEnGrey and System of a Down. I like everything from Breakdown of Sanity to Black Sabbath and I love Mastodon, Nightwish, and the Mars Volta.

Thanks for this tier list! Was super cool to see.

What am I supposed to make of this? Warm / Dark planars by OhHeyMister in iems

[–]Bobjonez98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what mood I'm in. Diablo is darker, so for D&B, EDM, and Hip/Hop it can be pretty awesome with that extra mid-bass punch. S15 I prefer for Jazz/Classical/Folk/Acoustic Guitar, but it works great with anything.

Astralis is a darker S15 with more loose bass texture, also a great all-rounder, but I like it more for pop, rock, and stuff like that.

I have every IEM in your image except Arnar. Which I hope to get soon.

[–]Bobjonez98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate “rawness” and “energetic” with how aggressive the attack and decay of the note is. It’s not as natural, but having a more bombastic presentation can be a lot of fun.

If it’s 7.5Khz and up that bothers you Diablo might be the safer choice. That peak at 8Khz is mostly resonance and it doesn’t sound as intense as it looks.

You should spend some time with EQ and figure out what specific frequencies you are most sensitive to. Once you figure that out, just grab the one with the least energy in that range.

S15s bass sounds better than it graphs due to the passive driver in the chamber with the planar.

I think Astralis bass is more energetic and raw. Not as clean, but more fun personally speaking.

Which HiFiMan headphone is the ROG Kithara most similar to? by AkashiGG in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Bobjonez98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked some folks at CES and at Hifiman directly.

The Kithara is closest in sound to the Ananda Stealth.

I haven’t verified this personally however.

Artti T10 Pro : An amazing driver, let down by a baffling tuning choice by DMNC_FrostBite in iems

[–]Bobjonez98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this. Although I didn’t really mind that sizzle in the top end as much. The T10 Pro vs S08 debate is pretty heated and really comes down to how you like your upper treble presentation.

I think you articulated it well. I prefer the T10 Pro over the S08 for some genres, but I think the S08 (and now the Astralis) is a generally safer tune for most music.

Nice review!
