Introducing MOMENTUM 4 Wireless
I picked up both the M4 and the adapter because of a very generous sale. The adapter after the software update is very good. The M4’s sound is arguably at the top of the heap and probably even better than the AP max. I run it with no EQ and it’s v forgiving for almost all genres. Only thing...- Rurouni

Introducing MOMENTUM 4 Wireless
Is the BTD600 aptx adapter worth it? And can it also double up as a headset for gaming I wonder?- Rurouni

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Hey James really enjoy reading your views. When I first got the creative ace 2 I dialed down the bass a whole lot but after testing a fair bit I now actually like to use the default flat eq. It’s a little boomy but therein lies the charm of this hybrid as it’s so inviting on many genres and...- Rurouni

If you have access to a free trial, try Apple Music over AAC. I find the combo to work really well for wireless, and in general the SQ is really good.- Rurouni

SONY IER-Z1R
If you have the chance to, try out a new orchestral album by the composer Evan Call for the anime series ‘Frieren’, the official release is on Apple Music yt etc with Apple Music having the lossless version. (Very lord of the rings inspired I feel) The Z1R with Tazzy on this recording is just...- Rurouni

ANC is quite a simple affair you can have it on or in ambient mode. I find that it isn’t as sophisticated as the Sonys. Sound wise it has really grown on me especially when watching yt and movies.- Rurouni

Just received the Aurvana Ace 2 (~USD160) Tested using AAC on iPhone Quick impression notes purely focused on SQ: 1. The tweeter is very good. Its very close in quality to a higher end wired IEM imo 2. The dynamic driver is tuned with too much low end immediately had to tune this down in EQ...- Rurouni

Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk
Received my ie900 today. It’s now produced in Ireland for those who were wondering. Running it off a TAZH1ES unbalanced low gain. I would say it’s moderately easier to drive than the Z1R. Sound wise I would say preliminary that the IE900 shines best on many modern produced pop/rock pieces and...- Rurouni

Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk
Good to hear. I think the 660s2 is a solid headphone. With the IE900 I will take a pause on the hobby unless something as amazing as a z1r appears again haha.- Rurouni

Is the IE900 as easy to drive on an iPhone as the IE600? There’s a running promo again and it’s now on sale brand new.- Rurouni

CanJam Dallas 2023 Impressions Thread (November 11-12, 2023)
That’s good to hear! Did you think their implementation can match the mainstream offerings like Apple AirPods Pro or Sonys WF1000mk5, or is there potential to sound better than those products?- Rurouni
