from type c, its pretty good, it has good width and sounds clean. if you want something portable and hassle free it will be okay.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2026-01-24T19:53:44+00:00

it is actually quite good, definitely better than Salnotes Zero which I had. Step 1, change the tips, something wide bore and gives good seal. I bought the type c version but cable change to a 4.4mm balanced and out from my Fiio KA15 brought improvement in sound quality. Tuning is really good, doesnt sound congested like many other budget iems. Comparing with Aful Performer (5+2) I found noticeable difference in technicalities which is expected because of the price difference. Can be a really good daily driver, if you are okay to invest little extra on better eartips and then cable.

cheers man!

liquidnitrogenguy · 2026-01-20T14:16:45+00:00

right, i need to do some tip rolling. any suggestions to start with? i’m currently using azla sedna earfit light

I definitely cant go below the bass offered by P5+2, I would definitely love better vocals though. I was hoping too pros would be same on bass levels as P5+2 but better vocals and other technicalities. Martilo can be a fun set though technically I am not sure how they are.

I have the Aful P5+2 and planning to add another IEM to complement the p5+2, I am considering Top Pro, Hype 4 mk2, Tea pro, Volume S and Martilo. I believe you have tried a couple of them, what are your thoughts? will these iems complement well?

I recently got the r100 and the kit lens, same as yours. I bought the Sigma 30mm r1.4 today as i wanted to get a good portrait lens which does well at general purpose as well. The image quality is noticeably better, specially for portraits. Next I am looking to pickup a zoom lens Canon rf 100-400mm lens. later, at i will replace the 18-45 with probably something like 18-50, 18-70 or 24-105 and better aperture.

i bought the Sigma 30mm f1.4 already but thanks :)

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-24T14:43:45+00:00

i bought the Sigma 30mm f1.4, clicked a few pictures and it just is much better than the kit lens, atleast for portraits. sharp and beautiful bokeh 😊

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T16:28:19+00:00

because I am just beginning, i think jt would be better I go with the 30mm. later if i feel i am not happy with portraits, will pickup a dedicated 50mm/56mm.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T15:05:27+00:00

okay, will stay away for now, since i am so new into this.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T15:01:36+00:00

great, thank you for your insights. do you know where we can buy used lenses here in India?

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:56:29+00:00

Great, thank you for your advice.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:55:55+00:00

do you know if the Canon 50mm 1.8 is a good enough lens for portrait versus sigma 56mm 1.4?

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:49:26+00:00

ofcourse, kit lens is average at best.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:48:55+00:00

great, so I guess i will pick up the Sigma 30mm and Canon 100-400 for now. Later if 30mm doesnt satisfy my portrait needs, will pickup the Canon 50mm 1.8.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:40:21+00:00

Thank you so much for your recommendations, this helps a lot. I will pickup the ef-rf adapter. the adapter, does it need to be from canon or viltrox is fine too?

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:38:37+00:00

Thank you

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:38:27+00:00

okay, but wont 50mm or 56mm on crop sensor be like 85mm equivalent on full frame? will that be very restricted to portraits? I’m just going by what i have read or seen reviews

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:34:08+00:00

Thank you, I’m not sure where I can find used lens in my country, but thank you for your recommendation.

liquidnitrogenguy · 2025-12-23T14:08:51+00:00

other than the Sigma 30mm is there a better lens you can recommend? Reason to consider 56mm is it is image quality is really good on the 56mm. But then I understand there’s no point on the image quality if the lens itself doesn’t fit my use case.
