A friend of mine test listened to my IER-M9. He listened to them like 2 Minutes and then requested me to buy a pair for him in Japan. I quote "This is the best i've ever heard"

In the very beginning i had fit issues with the IER-Z1R for which i found workarounds, but nothing was really comfortable for a long listening session. The only thing i considered comfortable was when i tried the foam i used on my IER-M9. I went for a different size, but in the end, i could...

There are a lot in Japan.

Sometimes, rarely, but from time to time the topic measurement comes up. The most representive measurement is, by far, multitone as this is one of the few measurements that shows, how an device performs, when there is more than just one single sound. Did anyone notice yet that the WM1ZM2...

In that case, i would stay away from these^^ i think the best thing you can do is to go custom. This doesn't eliminate the issue, but lowers it by quite an amount but with most customs, you have the option to vent them. At least the companies i know provide that feature. Or 64 Audio with their...

No, i didn't know there is an HPFes :D after finding my ideal setup i reduced the hobby to listening to music and just, from time to time, check to see if something new is out

You should not have any inner-ear pressure when using any IEM with foam. As unvented IEM should not be used with silicone tips (that is highly disregarded by all professional/major IEM makers as it can permanently damage your hearing) so there should be no issue with the FA19 or any other...

From the overview from Twitter i get the following: For those who want a sound they can use in the Studio: MH335DW Studio Reference (aka TG335) Target: Making the MH335DW more balanced. Sound: Leave the bass as it is and increase the treble performance Increase the Quality of the original...

It is not grounded, intentionally. It should not be grounded, that is how it is designed. If it gets grounded, noise increases and the sound quality is lowered.

For an 3-Way System? Wow... that is more than i expected, much more. I am looking forward to hear how these compare to offerings in the same price range. The FA9 was very easy to recommend with good foam (got forbid the ones shipped with the IEM) which sold at 550€ MSR and 350€ on sale. It had...

It is not that simple. It is a complex and complicated topic. There is a chance that the lack of security updates never affects you, there is chance it does. Nobody can know the future and know what exactly you are doing. Especially when you have an Windows PC, there could be malware on your...

The Implementation of the S-Master HX, not the IC itself. And the firmware tweaks/mods caused buffer underruns (which is, surprise, exactly the reason the delay exists in the first place, to prevent exactly this). Its amazing how everyone thinks, Sony is just to stupid to do it (even though...

Exactly. MPD Daemon is playing the music and the MPD Client is connecting to MPD to tell him, what to play and how. That means you can not use the Walkman App, sadly. The Music will be played by MPD (which forwards it, without touching it, to the Audio System)
