    Yamaha YH-5000SE — a flagship from an orthodynamic headphones veteran!

    The driver seems to be 50mm in diameter, there's a picture in this page from back when it was announced: https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20220918-2457605/

    @Leonne I personally don't think the mids are too thick or muddy. In fact, I think they have a nice weight to them actually.

    @NickT23 Yes, I did try it with my Sony Xperia I Mk2. It was decent, but the FH7S definitely benefits from being plugged into a better source.

    FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    This is a bit random (since I haven't been that active on HF lately and this is out of the blue), but I've posted my review of the FH7S here. I'll be checking both this thread and the review itself for any questions.

    Review by 'chowmein83' on item 'FiiO FH7S'

    Before moving on with the rest of my review, I would like to thank FiiO for providing me with a review sample of the FH7S in exchange for my opinions. (Please forgive the lack of pictures here – I may put some later when I have more time.) Intro The FH7S is a 1 DD 4 BA per ear IEM, priced at...

    ZMF Verite Open

    Ok, so after having been able to listen to the Verite on the Cavalli/Monotprice Liquid Platinum, I felt that I had to somewhat rewrite my earlier impressions about the Verite, which are linked here and here. The sections that I changed a bit were Overall Sound Signature (in the 1st post)...

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli

    Thanks for the reply Alex! Now I know to just focus on the 6DJ8 family, and not be tempted by these other things which can be quite a bit cheaper. :beyersmile:

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli

    @runeight I have a question that I couldn't find an answer to yet after searching everywhere. Are there variants (or "close enough" substitutes) of the 6DJ8/6922/7308 tubes that can be used with the Liquid Platinum? Specifically, I'm wondering about 7DJ8/PCC88 tubes. Based on my research it...

    ZMF Verite Open

    As MonsterZero said above, yes they are most definitely in a different league. Verite is really just that much better. For the headphone noob question, I would think they would prefer the Aeolus more, because it's closer to a more "exciting" sound signature. Plus, my brother who is a relative...

    ZMF Verite Open

    I do want to mention, that when I said that the Verite is "dark" I mean that it doesn't emphasize the treble nearly as much as other headphones do, including the Auteur, at least in my experience. However, that doesn't mean that the Verite is lacking detail - it is not, and in fact I firmly...

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions Part 2 – Comparisons At least for me, the most useful headphone impressions are the ones in which different models are being compared. So, after a lot of pad swapping, here are my comparisons between the Aeolus and some of the headphones I had access to. Aeolus vs...

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions Part 1 – General I was fortunate enough to somehow convince Zach into letting me check out the Verité and Aeolus. So even though much has been said about the two headphones already, here are my impressions on the Aeolus specifically. You can see my impressions on the...
