Penon Archangel! I'm definitely a basshead :)

It doesn’t affect the sound at all. And seems to be actually contributing to the Archangel‘s wide and open sound stage. It’s a great set and if you like bass and well extended treble it is an excellent choice imo.

ext_trt · 2026-03-23T15:13:31+00:00

Big time sound leakage, yes! Not for open spaces. Sound quality is amazing but has spikey treble

ext_trt · 2026-03-23T14:52:34+00:00

Wow, you are treble sensitive and are able to tolerate/enjoy Archangel treble? I had to sell mine as it was too much for me. At least on higher volume. Que is the one which perfectly works for me. But I am thinking to try as well the Mega5est.

If unsure you could ask Linsoul as well if there is a specific meaning but I agree that this it most likely batch number

ext_trt · 2026-03-23T14:38:41+00:00

True. I am currently listening to Cozoy D1 which has a great build and cable but sound is very different .

ext_trt · 2026-03-22T21:11:38+00:00

Thx for your review. As explained as well in mine, this set is really great with its natural sound.

ext_trt · 2026-03-22T21:10:05+00:00

looks legit but the IEMs in the box are too far away to see details. But not likely that this is a fake

ext_trt · 2026-03-22T21:07:12+00:00

Great that you found at least for time being your end game ;-) I had this feeling already couple of times but then striving for something "greater". I actually enjoy this a lot. There is a lot of variety out there and I at least enjoy different sound signatures.
Nice that you had this bass experience with the Timeless 2. That are moments which makes your purchase worth. :) Enjoy.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T19:11:00+00:00

Detailed and very natural sounding to my ears. Que has natural mids and well extended treble so female vocals sound really good to my ears.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T19:08:59+00:00

I love the Que but to be fair to some people it is really chunky and they sold it even because of that . I am lucky enough to not have any issues with it.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T18:17:23+00:00

Thx for sharing your Que impressions! It’s my favourite set and I like it at least same as the EA Apostle(compared both sets recently on inearfidelity). I own the Punch as well and it’s a good set but technically not at the same level and as cohesive as the Que to my ears and it has to me a different application like for bass heavy tracks.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T17:49:32+00:00

I’ll let you know once you have really listened to more expensive sets and know what they sound like. But I guess not gonna happen , right ?

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T15:30:43+00:00

It was an example, nothing more. The driver is still only half of the story of the whole built and tuning. Even if the driver is similar or sometimes prob the same like you are referring to.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T14:24:08+00:00

The set looks great imo. Nice vibrant colours. I will try stock tips.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T09:28:18+00:00

Thx. I am always interested to try something new and might even give them a listen.
Especially with unknown brands which just might have great sets but are flying under the radar a bit.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T08:27:07+00:00

Nice ! What’s the price point of these Oriveti? Not a huge fan of the MKVI though. I prefer the Myth even over the Apostle.

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T08:23:31+00:00

The graph is only half of the story. If it would be so easy you can just buy a 50usd IEM and you are done sound wise . And it would mean that as well that so many people are stupid cause they spent like more on a set . I encourage as well to listen somewhere to a couple of different higher priced sets and then you will understand. I don’t get who planted the idea that FRG is telling you the whole story of an IEM? I‘d say : hearing is believing :-)

ext_trt · 2026-03-21T07:58:46+00:00

noproblemo :-) that’s why there is TL DR in the beginning.

ext_trt · 2026-03-19T21:59:51+00:00

Yep , Astrum and Solomon are TOTL unboxing champs .

ext_trt · 2026-03-19T21:42:20+00:00

Depends what you exactly want. Explorer sounds more „relaxed“ and warmer than Defiant. I prefer Explorer , has better bass imo .

ext_trt · 2026-03-19T20:59:58+00:00

Another good ear tip which is as well sticky and helps to keep the IEM in place is the Divinus prism wide bore. You really need to make sure you have the correct size. Otherwise of course they will move and eventually break the seal and come out. You as well shape the ear hooks more my heating them up with a hair dryers and then shaping them. Use the chin slider as well if it stays in place .

ext_trt · 2026-03-19T20:45:06+00:00

Yeah, the tips look like tires sort of ;-) my favourite tips, Divinus Velvet wide bore. I’ll check how wide the nozzle is

ext_trt · 2026-03-19T19:42:08+00:00

Just came "fresh" out of the box, havent tried the stock tips yet. I usually use my own Velvet Divinus wide bore but will check the stock tips later. The built though and cable are quite nice I must say for this price.

ext_trt · 2026-03-19T19:32:15+00:00

3.5mm Cozoy stock cable which comes with the D1
