It’s mostly wet (more lower mid) and no air (subdue upper mid) to me.

howdy folks, My review of AFUL Explorer is online on head-fi and my blog. Edit: Hifigo asked me to share that there are discounts across the entire AFUL line (except the Explorer)

Have a look at AFUL Explorer and Intuaura Splendor II. Both have L shaped signature with thicker bass, natural midrange, less upper midrange glare and good treble extension.

I tried. They sound awesome (with or without Pilgrim)

I also use R3II as a source for my W4 when I sit down and listen. Battery seems to last roughly as long as onboard DAC and amp. Running FC6 from a R3II or R4 seems like an interesting option. A bit different flavour once in a while

How dare you, sir? It’s apparently the best IEM in the whole world, beating everything even HE-1 I thought Dunu has their own factory? I remember watching an interview and factory tour when the EST112 was released.

I also tested the DSP dongle with R3II. Surprisingly, as a soundstage addict geek, I prefer the non-DSP sound. Richer and more character. The DSP signature sounds … generic somehow.

Can’t think of any streaming DAP, brand new, at $250 🤔

Ey, somehow I missed this part. I’m giving up on the uppermost echelons of the market after trying the Annihilator generously loaned by my friend. I mean it’s literally one of the best IEMs in the world right now no matter how you slice and dice it, and it sounds wonderful, but idk, it does...

Hifigo asked me to share these in the review. Since I’m still writing, might as well drop these here first I’m in Australia. I order directly from Hifigo because it’s the quickest, and they agree to send to local post office for me. Regarding the tips, the stock ones are okay, but I use Tri...

I also found that the Explorer performs at roughly the same technical performance with P5, but with better bass, and I also prefer the tuning of Explorer. It’s still not as technical as P8, though I prefer its tuning over P8.

The level 5 of this showroom kinda suck 😅

Not really incoherence for me. The DD used here has the same snappy response that sounds like BA woofers (but with great subbass and texture), so it follows the upper frequencies well. My major problem is that it pushes the whole stage forward. Heck, it does not have that “wrap around” effect...
