I heard the Raven on the 1ZM2 recently and liked it. However after switching back to my R8II I felt it gave a bit more of everything you probably like about the raven. Really good synergy imo. It has a little more crispness and soundstage to my ears especially with turbo and medium gain. But...

Ok. I found a lot of wide bore tips a tiny bit fatiguing in the upper mids or treble. Keep in mind I’m using the ravens with the R8II which is a brighter dap imo. But the AET07’s are on order so we shall see.

Just ordered the AET07’s and velvets. We will see if I like them. It will probably take 5-7 days to get them.

You’re gonna make me buy more eartips? Cmon lol. At least these are fairly inexpensive.

Just ordered one. Will post my thoughts out of the Hiby R8II and the Raven when I get it.

Didn’t know that thanks!

I tried the dc elite yesterday and loved the sound. I used it out of the Hiby R8II. The only issue I had was the volume. I felt one notch was too low and the next one up was just a little too loud. Shame bc it sounded great. I tried it out of my friends Sony ZM2 and felt the volume control was a...

Good to know bc I was leaning towards Raphael but now I may reconsider.

I guess the pulse is good with raven? I was thinking about buying another cable.

https://shop.musicteck.com/products/flash-acoustics-blaze Not sure if this is considered cheap but it’s an excellent cable. I have this and looking to upgrade to their flagship. It has every con-x u could ever want included.

Still prefer the cp145’s. The Omni’s were a pain to even get on. However they did sound pretty good. And the origin’s weren’t bad either but a tiny bit fatiguing in the treble/mids region with decent volume. I believe that the 145s give the warmest bass with still good detail, so for now those...

Not the best pic but here it goes lol Raven and Hiby R8II And a link to a phenomenal live album that has great bass that’s not hip hop, electronic, or R&B. Great musicians…

Yeah I can imagine with electronic, r&b, and some of the genres above the mentor would be great. I listen to a decent amount of jazz and the mentors were great with that. I also think the raven would be great with hip hop as well. Jazz is also very good on it bc of the bass aspect. Either way...

I listen to mostly metal and prog metal. So, with those genres it does great. I owned mentor for over a year and even though the soundstage was incredible I found it too much with metal. It lacked a little “cohesiveness” and sounded a little diffused to me. Plus there was some fatigue with...

It did have very good synergy with the Mentors. With the Raven it’s another level so far 🔥🎸
