Meze 99 Classics Discussion + Impressions Thread
Heya folks, I've been thinking of getting into headphones after a long stint in IEMs - sigh, this site Anyhow, have had a read through this read over the past few days - thanks for all your impressions and comparisons! The 99 Classics look like a great place to start! So I'm...- enoyletoj

Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread
I've owned the FXA7 for 3 months now, so I figured I'd chime in to help those wondering if they should grab one. I must say that my experience has been quite different from the recent complaints. Mine pair has held up very well under quite significant usage (listening sessions on alternate...- enoyletoj

Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread
That really isn't the case at all. Through a strange turn of events, I happen to have both the Harmony (one nozzle broken) and FXA7 on hand. I can assure you that the FXA7's signature is pretty similar to the Harmony: the great mids, full bass remain, but (as was the intention with the...- enoyletoj

Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread
I'm not sure if this has been posted earlier but I just thought I'd share it if hasn't... BH photo has the Forte going at $399 249! The Harmony was going at $299 earlier but it sold out real quick. Fortes are still a great deal for anyone interested in picking one up- enoyletoj

$999 Calyx M with DXD + DSD, 64GB + SD + µSD storage
Oops read that too quickly, my bad. Thought you'd bought both the M and the X-Batt. Glad to know that I'm in good & experienced company then! Nope, not that I recall. You can actually just use a small flat-head screwdriver - if its the correct size, and you apply the right pressure, it...- enoyletoj

$999 Calyx M with DXD + DSD, 64GB + SD + µSD storage
Congrats! I'm rather late to the party, having just grabbed myself an M just over a month ago. Having tried many DAPs (like the AK120ii, P1, L5Pro, QP1R), I'd glad to report that M very much holds its own: it has a timbre and musicality like no other, staging & imaging is fantastic, and...- enoyletoj

New and Improved* Luxury & Precision L5 PRO 32bit DSD DAP with AKM AK4490, touch screen, rosewood blackplate
Woah, that's quite a claim. I've had my eye on the Onkyo DP-X1 and Fiio X7 for quite a while, but undeveloped firmware and UI are pushing me towards the L5Pro - not that the firmware in the L5Pro is much better, but at least it works well! Haha. Cleg - if you don't mind me asking...- enoyletoj

SONY NW-ZX100
Quote: I don't post very much - but I've been lurking around this thread wondering how the ZX100 compares to my (thick-sounding) ZX2... For those who want to take the plunge, Treoo in Singapore sells it for SGD$699 without the buds. That's a great deal if you intend to use your own...- enoyletoj

Thanks mate - just sharing my thoughts and hoping to help anyone who's considering getting a pair. CIEMs are terribly expensive these days... Yep! Turned out quite abit clearer than I expected, but boy am I glad they did- enoyletoj

EarWerkz, a new CIEM company, discussion thread
Long time lurker here - but Jack & the Earwerkz team really deserve some recognition... First things first, Jack is positively the best Customer Service Officer I've communicated with in a decade. After having gone through JH (sigh), Heir, Westone... Jack's CS really stands out. Apart from...- enoyletoj

Quote: Haha, the one thing I REALLY wanna do is to grab a 4.Ai, share the poison around and encourage folk down the destructive path of customs. Or at least, away from those damned apple earbuds. Anyway that's a great, was really looking for a concise comparison on the differences in...- enoyletoj

The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread
Quote: I'm not too sure myself, really. Would the 4.A be considered close to an end-game CIEM for its neutral sound signature? I.e. like the way the 8.A has been described by those who review it as 'the end' [for now] of the search for the bassy, warm but transparent & clear sound.- enoyletoj

Quote: Man I love how you started that off (in bold). Yeah, I guess it's unsurprising that the 4.Ai doesn't perform as well the 4.A - just think, the implications for the customs vs. universals debate would be disastrous heh. Then again, I doubt 4.Ai owners really know what they're...- enoyletoj

Quote: Certainly! If I may direct you to my post... I'd definitely appreciate any impressions you have comparing the 4.Ais to anything that's out there, provided that you don't have insanely elephantine ears like Sinocelt and hear the 4.A/4.Ai with vastly differing...- enoyletoj

The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread
Quote: From my experience, the UE case fits CIEMs (in general) with TWag V2 and oyaide plugs perfectly, so they shouldn't have any problems with Heir customs too (: love that case. Anyhow, are any fortunate folk lucky enough to own both the 4.A and 8.A able to shed light on...- enoyletoj
