I agree. I was using the gu craftsman with 4.4mmm and tanchjim space but switched to a 3.5mm and fiio ka11 because I think the amp within the dongle makes more of a difference than 4.4 vs 3.5 (albeit still relatively small). I prefer the ka11 because it presents a feeling of a bit more body...

To remove the tackiness, Just put some bicarb soda and water paste and give it a light scrub with the fingers and wash off.

Some photos on this thread would be awesome if you still have them.

Has anyone actually purchased a known fake ie600 off aliexpress or similar to actually compare and tell the differences? I think this was done with the ie900 but seems to be a lot of speculation with the ie600. Given the metal 3d printing I would think it would be harder to copy. I also saw a...

i think V-shaped has some subjectivity to it depending on what you consider neutral. To my ears, the ie600 leans more to u-shaped because I don't think there is enough midbass for a true V, really its strong elevation known in the subbass while also quite a bit upper mid elevation which means...

I took the foam out for the first time after having these for a number of years, gave them a clean and put them back in. I didn't notice any change so I can only assume they weren't blocked with earwax. I suggest only doing If you think they are clogged.

I imagine the supermoon would have to be using the same planar as the other first gem drivers and it came out about the same time. I wonder what, If anything, they did to tweak it.

Thank you. All updated now

Teting to update latest GAEA app and gettign "App not installed as package appears to be invalid" Can anyone help to get latest version. If it matters I'm using galaxy 23+ as a phone

@Vlad Koon I am not sure if you know these little nitpicks are very personal to you, but the message is coming across as these are universal 'mistakes'. The s12 isn't MY favourite planar but can appreciate that the things I may not like may be intentional and actually benefits to others...

The problem with memory hooks is that the 'memory gets changed every time you slip them over the ear. Once on the ear you can never push it tight enough to your ear because there is always a bit of spring/recoil. Every time you take the iems out, the hooks change slightly again. It's a PITA...

That's what I see, maybe some things coming with an update, who knows. The prior ka1 has eq, filter and hardware volume adjustment but not sure if these were added after the fact. The ka2 has filters and volume control but no eq.

Now I'm worried because I have never cleaned the filter on the m9. Is that something that needs to be done? On a second issue, has anyone else had paint chipping around the faceplate? I'd like to think I am very careful and always put them in a pouch when they are in my pocket. The only thing...

I like the ie600 cable except for the memory wire, and that's enough to stop using them, the stiffness and way it gets out of shape as your setting them us is terrible. For 2 pin cables it is always a pain with ear hooks because the angle is fixed (unlike mmcx). I use hair dryer reshaping on...

@FiiO Kang is there any stats on the power consumption compared to ka1? Or a general comparison? I assume it would draw more given the additional power it produces

Came to ask the same, please keep the ka2 alive then because there are not enough options for 4.4mm only, cord attached dacs. Some of us prefer the compactness of built in cables. Also received ka11 yesterday and only tested for a few tracks. Definitely more powerful then ka1 but it also...

Gu craftsman cable with ie600. Chose it for the complimentary colours of the mmcx connectors and the mottled cable colour which also compliments the shells and reminds me of snake skin. I wish these connectors were on the tripowin mirage instead on the chrome caps. Oh well, one cable in 3.5...

I have been doing your spacer trick as well and after working well with the divinus tips on the ie600 i have expanded the little trick to other iems. For me, it is an adjustment always just for the right side to adjust for my uneven ear anatomy. before i was cutting tips down for my other ear...

A remedy for the sticky cable that worked for was using a bicarb soda paste with a bit of water. give it a good rub on the earhooks and rinse off. might need to do a few times and be careful not to lather it on too much or you will end up with some white specs in the crevices. what is it about...

Did you find what you were looking for? I find the hook x with its piezoelectric driver for highs has a great sparkle to its treble without farigue. the s12pro seems a bit more blunted in comparison

some snaps to accompany my above ramblings

had my new ie600 for about a month now so thought I would chime in and add some thoughts. First off, I snatched up a returned unit from Amazon at a discount ($500AUD) from the already heavy discount sale in November. I was ripe for the taking after picking up the ie200 for $135AUD in a...

How is the feel of the ethos cable? Does it hold any kinks, supple, weight, etc maybe compared to original. I ordered the tripowin mirage when I bought the ie600 last week on a great deal, but shipping of the cable is a few weeks away. Still contemplating the pricier 'upgrade' of NA ethos...

Seems that a lot of people have the null audio ethos cable. Can someone with the cable explain the feel and softness? It looks a bit like the s12 which I am not a big fan of.

Here is a great option to throw in the pocket along with a phone on the go. The fiio ka1 allows the mic and button to work, lightweight, plenty of headroom (50% for me), only draws audio signal when headphones are plugged in. All in all a real winner with portability in mind and sounds great...
