Softears - Discussion & Appreciation

Should be the other way around. Differential amplification has higher OI and also higher noise floor (though better SNR). I usually recommend SE for IEM, but in case of the lesser efficient RS10, balanced makes sense.


Not according to my testing. I measured more bass with lower impedance. It's not dramatic, but noticeable. I made no such observations with Turii or RS10, which have a flatter impedance.
You know what I totally screwed that up, i meant flat phase but was tired and stupid. My bad! You are dead on correct.

Joining the club! Loving the sound on these. Absolute detail monster, but without sounding too clinical. Everything just sounds right, and so darn enjoyable to listen with
Buenos dias ⛱️:sun_with_face: @Charlyro222 (Thanks for the recommendation)

Being fan of single DD coherency (Rightly or wrongly) i've jus ordered the SEN IE900 but i'im lookin for another one with a different sound and the TURII is seriously in my target for the second pair. Can anybody here could feedback anything about a comparison/short impression. I read the crinacle comment but it isn't comparing even if his description tends to reveal he prefers the TURII;
thank's so much folks

Will do try. But for now, I'm really enjoying how the stock configuration, out-of-the-box sound sounds :) It's well-balanced and very coherent from top to bottom

I have the Turii, and it is ridiculously coherent and detailed. I haven't heard anything this layered and resolving before. I can pick out things I've never heard before in some recordings.

Fit can be a bit tricky though. Tip selection diligence is rewarded with the best sound quality possible, and can help them stay put in ears better. They're not overly huge (somewhat heavy for the size due to metal housing), but the shape means they don't lock in place like universal IEMs with shells formed closer to what I like to call 'pseudo-custom'. Also they don't isolate very well due to the number of vents.... but I'm sure that's what contributes to the large sense of space.

Are we basically stuck with vendors like Hifigo and Shenzhen for SoftEars gear? I know Penon sells the Turii, but SoftEars isn't listed as a brand on their store...at least I can't find it listed.

I think unfortunately that's the case. It sure would be nice if there was a Softears seller in the US. Thankfully I had no issues when I ordered both the RSV and the Turii from Shenzhenaudio. But shortly after I received them there were some comments around here about their not using DHL anymore... and going with an inferior shipper instead, causing drawn out shipping times with poor tracking details. If ordering something on the level of Softears gear (with the prices they command), I'd just be sure to insist on DHL. Both the RSV and Turii came within 5 days or so once I got the shipment notification.
