Yes, it does. It is actually designed with that use in mind. A straight 90 degree might be stronger but put in a pocket straight down it can put additional wear on the cable, likewise straight isn't very strong at all. Companies started the 45 degree to get the best of both worlds. The strength...

Well I got the NiceHCK HB1 cable, and for the price it is pretty unbeatable. Good sound, decent battery life (5h) and a great bargain. They also stand by their product, as my button stopped functioning and they send me another one no questions asked. Currently on MassDrop there a wireless cable...

Can confirm, the cans vibrated on my skull. It was quite the experience.

Comfort is fantastic. I am not sure I can switch from a microdriver IEM after using Forza Metallo Wireless and the Aurisonics Rockets for so long. They both just disappear into your ears and you can just forget about them no matter what. They are small enough for motorcycle helmet or for laying...

I can't speak for the Wired vs Wireless Forza Metallo as I only have the Wireless, but I can vouch for the sound quality. I usually keep my wired Aurisonic Rockets in my pocket as a back up, and honestly... While I prefer the sound slightly compared, they are like close cousins in sound and...

They were definitely defective. I sent them back and got a new pair, and those are working flawlessly. I'm actually surprised I got a dud, but all is well now.

It isn't even 5-10 seconds delay though, nothing happens at all, no matter how long I wait or hold down the button. And when it does start working it works with minimal delay, but doesn't activate voice command when held down for 3 seconds. I think the middle button is defective on my set. I'm...

Anyone with android (preferably Samsung S7E) care to answer if they can skip and go back tracks with their V-Moda Forza Metallo Wireless? I can't seem to. Also the center button is not consistent as is. I can usually get it working, but I'm wondering if I got a faulty unit. But I don't want to...

Which is extremely unfortunate.

Great review Booko! I liked your analysis of the filters. I might need to use that to get my perfect combo. I love the red/black combo, but I've barely experimented so I look forward to using your review to better aid my exploration.

Honestly, the only IEM to ever have blown me away are the Campfire Audio Vega... Unfortunately they are also almost 5x the price of the LZ-A4. A man can dream...

Welp, I did it, I ordered the Metallo Wireless. Mainly for use running with my eventually to come Ticwatch S. I am curious how they'll compare to what I use now the LZ-A4 with HB1 cable. I'm sure they'll have better battery life but I'm curious of the sound, especially since the LZ-A4 was never...

Blue back should be paired with Black front. Call it the Nightwing

It took me my entire tip collection from all my IEMs to find ones that work. And it turns out the ones for me were the Final Audio tips I got for free from CanJam. Go figure...

Mine only came with the one... Might have been a promotion with Penon?

They don't. My point was against the new XB1X. The XB1S is actually a really good deal for a 4K Bluray player, but still only a mediocre gaming machine. The XB1X is just a waste of money.

Rompe, they released their specs, and they said clearly 6 teraflops. Destiny 2 will be played at 30fps. And they aren't going to change the GPU drastically like that (From Polaris to Vega). That would be the dumbest thing they could do. If they do that, the architecture of the GPU is different...

As of Skylake many have SGX but it is disabled by default (post 4th Qtr 2015). You can enable it if you know what you are doing. It would be very easy for me to make my computer run 4K bluray if I so desired. I don't since I don't have a 4k display at the moment...

Honestly, I do not believe at all that there will be true 4K gaming on either system. I believe it will be like the previous generation and upscale from a lower resolution to minimize power consumption on the budget parts necessary to keep costs down. As of right now, even the newest 1080Ti...

I want to say that but I know the Campfire Audio Vegas exist, and I want them. THEY are it, if I ever have the money for them...

I'll be bringing my PCDPs. Probably a couple of my IEMs and V-Modas

Basically we are talking about the front bass vent. If you look at the IEM from the MMCX connector you'll see a small hole where the IEM housing slopes up to the nozzle. That is the front bass vent. The question I asked was how it affected the sound because in Ahmad's pictures he clearly has it...

I see you are covering the bass vent. How's that affecting the sound?

I'm still considering the Metallo Wireless but I have two wireless in ears already though the battery life is only 5 hours compared to 10...

I said they were reaching towards TOTL level (my exact words were "pretty dang close" but that was really an exaggeration based on price to sound ratio). Not that they were TOTL, because they aren't. They aren't there, but they hit way above the price point, to the point of me being able to...
