C.I.E.Ms and Ear Wax...
Are your ciems go that deep? You'll probably see some earwax left on the nozzle tip if you have wax build up- AboveNBeyond

Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)
Hmm, audibly when doing sweep sound test, the peak is closer to 4k and the dip is right at 5, but whatever, too many variables. Triton seems like a good competitor under 2K, but I feel it is still too much of a small refresh in todays market. Some cool new or Raven-like shell design might be a...- AboveNBeyond

From your description I didn't notice much of a difference from LX except for 5khz peak that could even be a downgrade for some.- AboveNBeyond

BCD's in Canpur are for mids only. You can google datasheet of their bcd driver frequency response and read Elise audio's store description for CP622b.- AboveNBeyond

Just make sure you don't use old shouty harman target and the likes. I personally mastered parametric eq and set it up manually. It helped bring some of my cheaper sets to totally new heights. I don't use any eq with LX though, it instantly gets messed up, loses it's charm and character.- AboveNBeyond

LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)
@surfwaves I am currently exploring some neutral-tuned sets to later buy a higher-end neutral iems to complement Legend. Hexa is vocal centric with soft treble, laid back bass and upper treble, very safe tuning, I got it prior to Wu and S12. Legend has a very heavy sub-bass, very musical mids...- AboveNBeyond

LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)
Hey everyone! Got S12 pro yesterday to replace my Zetian Wu due to horrible Wu's comfort (vertically inverted shell shape) and short nozzle. S12 pro sits like a glove entirely in my ears, I think I can even sleep with those. As with every other 2021-2022 planars treble is harsh and upper treble...- AboveNBeyond

Satin black looks too simple to me, I hope it's much better in reality than on the photo. No idea how good it will look with glossy shell either.- AboveNBeyond

CIEM vs IEM with ANC - Isolation
I don't use iems outside or in noisy environments, but at the very least I can say that having loud clicks on my computer mouse I can easily hear them even with tight and thick eartips (Azla Sedna black) on uiems and I hear NOTHING with my ciems. Edit: I haven't tried uiems with ANC- AboveNBeyond

Cayin N7: A Voyager of Unexplored Frontier
Is it a good idea to buy N7 if my library is like 98% flac/PCM and not DSD? Does it keep up in the price range because of Cayin's special sauce against other DAPs? I'd buy DX320 in a heartbeat at least for power, system wide EQ, PCM-native and more neutral-bright sig but damn it looks like...- AboveNBeyond

Uhm, so for example if I don't like a 4k iem break from seemingly normal handling, then it's just not for me but other people may like it?- AboveNBeyond
