Better late than never :) I have this with iems too. Less bass. I know it's not the seal, but I will keep testing and listening. Nothing like getting up at 0100 to get foam plugs! Of couse after googling headfi less bass laying down. At least I'm not completely dumb. Or am I? I hate this...- ev13wt

FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread
Been listening for a combined 20h now. Pretty darn good! Does have a slightly metallic tinge to the sound in the upper mids, lower highs, not sure if it's the aluminum or the BAs or a peak. Bass is quite beautiful, mids are nice, highs non-fatiguing. Overall pretty exact headphones that are...- ev13wt

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Not there yet in 2020. Just go some FH3s and compared them to Technics (barely ok), Senn True MKII (ok), BO H5 (meh, treble monster). While the FH3 still has that metallic tinge it simply MURDERS the BT ones in all points.- ev13wt

Xonar Essense stx Random LOUD high pitched Ringing Noise?
Screech of death after years again and my ears are are still ringing. Tidal, switching tracks. I've had it switching from 41 to 48 in the Asus gui, I've haven't tried the above windows settings 16bit. We should really sue ASUS for bodily harm.- ev13wt

Toeing in and a Monitor in Between
You really only need to toe in if you speaker beams at certain frequencies, like a 12" woofer cut at 1500Hz in a big two way :) Remove those boards from above the speakers. You built a speaker in a, well, speaker enclosure :) Then, move them forward and backwards from the wall until the bass...- ev13wt

What is "detail"?
Detail is what people say when they hear "Jazz at the pawn shop". I have never listened to it I was there and gave the recording guy some pointers. :)- ev13wt
