To a certain extent I agree that politeness should be a default and that keyboard warriors don’t lead to productive discussion…but You should realize that this is a community that was almost drug down to the Dark Ages due to boomers and bad actors infiltrating and to put it nicely, “overselling”...

idk about you bro but I’d totally say stuff to a manufacturer’s face lol if I think they’re BSing. Granted…I’d have to try the product in person, but considering we’re talking about a cable?…ya. Skeptical to say the very least unless it actually physically has something which could alter sound...

Wait….these cables have a super tweeter in them?

Funny enough I might edit my review because the stock tips actually work the best lol. They seem to dampen the 9khz and push that peak back to 11khz which is A LOT more tolerable than having excess 8.5-9khz energy. With the Dunu SS tips that was what I wrote my review on, the SS tips do not work...

personally…I’m not particularly impressed. Could be wrong but doubtful this will generate the same level of buzz as Aria OG. Unlike Chu II which is budget and actually a pretty solid V-shape reminiscent of the Sony MH755…80$ is now ultra big boy leagues. Aria is no longer a big fish in a little pond

...past that point so it sounds even more glaring. literally diffuse field upper mids and treble are more balanced than Harman. ok…rant over. my point *being* tldr; all these new releases are basically harman upper mids with warm bass bloat to compensate for the fact that pure Harman(IE) is...

Not a fan of this tuning. By Moondrop’s own VDSF standard the upper mids should not come up this much but they do. This almost seems exactly like the chu ii in terms of tuning (except with less subbass) which is very v-shaped all things considered(…but without the perceived subbass+upper treble...

The new ones are ever so slightly easier to modify and put normal pads on. If you don't mind MacGyvering stuff there are pretty much no drawbacks besides having the portability of a squat rack...and looking like a dork.   When I get my own place and some extra cash they might just be my next...

Dude, honestly.... If you have a pair of hd650s and they're powered properly? Don't even waste your time with any of this other stuff. The hd650 is very very very good. Their main weakness is their resolution(compared to other multihundred dollar sets). You want a true upgrade that you won't be...

Maybe try the closed edition of the 598s? It might be the best of both worlds. You'll have the big bass presence of the dt770 and the convenience factor of the smaller sennheiser?

Wow! Sennheiser and Fiio ex1 that low? I have both the hd650 and the ex1 and those are two of my favorites. Shouldn't the ex1 be somewhat similar to the AKG signature actually?  

1. HD650 2. Dunu Titan 1 3. Etymotic EK5 4. Tie between the ath m50 and the 681 evo 5. VSD3s 6. Some cheap chinese pair of LETV earphones(they're pretty good honestly) 7. Everything else. Not really worth mentioning. They range from alright, to just absolutely dreadful

Yeesh, I'm sorry to say but unless you somehow ended up with a fake pair, they're just bad. Ya what you're describing honestly is just the classic sound signature of a crappy pair of earbuds. Did you really get them for 19$? Maybe try returning them. If not, apologies mate but that review...

I just got the FiiO EX1s and if anyone doesn't know already, they're literally just rebranded Dunu Titan 1s for a smaller price. Same everything. I'll be honest with you, I wasn't expecting these to be half as good as they are. The sound quality is shocking. I haven't done any in depth analysis...

I seriously wouldn't worry about it. Worst that could happen is that wired is a different sound signature than wireless. It's plausible but usually not an issue

I don't have the Piston 3 but I have the VSD3(S). They are quite impressive technically. I might get the pistons soon but it seems that the sound signature of both is quite similar. Controlled bass with a slight V shape. The VSD3S has quite a bit of treble energy so maybe the piston 3 sound...
