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 🔥🎸

Yup after trying out like 15 different tips the spinfit CP145’s are my winner. I will buy 2 more which are the spinfit Omni and azla origin and see if they’re the winner.

Ok. I feel like they give me a good balance where bass in not overwhelming and it takes a touch of the fatigue I get in the upper mids and treble. I listen to metal so that’s bound to happen with poorly recorded material.

You guys should try the Eletech baroque’s with the raven. I think they are it for me.

Enjoy them. I believe they were mine originally 😉 Still have a spot in my heart for the mentors.

I don’t have an RS8 so I can’t compare. I have the RS6. The RS6 is a warm sounding DAP that lacks a little in detail to me. I assume the RS8 is better in that department and has a little different sound signature than the R8II. I believe GLer compared the 2 in his review.

I’d like to add “all” 😂 The Mest MK2’s can get a little spicy but to me it still sounds great. The bonneville sounded great and I now have the EE Raven which sound fantastic. Great bass and nice treble. I think the raven wouldn’t be as good with the rs8 or rs6 (which I own) as they are...

The Raphael sure looks nice with it too. Considering the fusion 1 as well.

Excellent seller and trader. Don't hesitate to buy, sell, or trade with him. Highly recommended!

I’m intrigued. Just got the raven’s today after having a whole bunch of iem’s varying in price from $300 to $3,700 (mentors). Initial impression? Phenomenal. Especially for metal and a great combo with the Hiby R8ii. Is the stock PW cable all copper? I have a feeling a silver cable would be...

I have a raven incoming and was wondering if anyone has the Hiby R8ii and the raven could comment on the pairing. I am a little worried about the low impedance of the ravens and some possible hissing.
