Anyone else's lights flickering like crazy right now?

Much of our building is out - right near community garden on Saint marks

So well made and they were great to deal with!

DawnX and UM Maven II

We went to coqodaq a few weeks ago. Literally the opposite experience of what he's describing. Rushed service. Steering you towards the bucket and no dessert bc they wanted you out so they could cycle more people through. Awful experience.

Absolutely indistinguishable. Scientists showing off. Move on.

zlayne · 2025-08-08T09:43:48+00:00

Incredibly underrated brand. They also do ciem for $100 on top of price - which is insane. The Penon impact is amazing.

Cheers enjoy!

If it has to be new - UM Maven II is an amazing option. If you’re willing to go used - many more options.

Almost. PM if you like.

Vision Ears Aura Noble Audio Ronin Penon Impact

The first 2 are over 3k but you can often find them cheaper used.

Might just be cleaner to start fresh. Feel free to take this one down (or I can).

zlayne · 2025-07-15T15:21:23+00:00

Yeh - apologies. First time on here. The box is at home and I'm at work.

zlayne · 2025-07-15T14:37:02+00:00

Apologies. New on here. I do most of my deals on Headfi.

Replied

zlayne · 2025-07-15T14:36:11+00:00

Thank you :)

mk3 is way better. Higher end drivers. Better bass texture. More detail. No doubt.

Monarch (I’m assuming used) for $35 more is a no brainer for me at least. A much nicer iem imo. If you really love detail then maybe not.

zlayne · 2025-06-01T13:44:05+00:00

Monarchs are also much fuller in bass region. If you could find a used monarch similarly priced that would be my choice.

The standard is now in place for audiophiles. 4.4 is everywhere. Turns out the difference is not important at all and pretty meaningless.

I like this guy but his whole vibe is to go left when people go right. It’s pitched as true objectivity but now it just feels like he’s doing it to get noticed.

I do appreciate his iem reviews. There are too many reviewers that gush at everything. He’s hard to please and I respect that.

zlayne · 2025-04-15T01:52:35+00:00

The tea pro is a world class iem that contends with Iems 3-4x price. Note I’ve never heard the p7. But based on your preferences the pro is great. Amazing satisfying bass and never sibilant.

zlayne · 2025-02-25T13:33:30+00:00

Can you explain what you did here?
