So this is interesting. This is a Fr of the NX7.

I have always thought they sounded a bit like campfire audio stuff. This is a new graph of the Andromeda golds that just sold out.

Minus the treble being more even on the Andromda G and probably with better stage. Similar in upper mids emphasis and even in the bass emphasis. Somehow I have a feeling the NX7 is actually better in the bass end. What you know. So the guys that own the NX7 can figure out how the Andromeda golds are like. This a case of chi fi mimicing higher end or higher end mimicing chi fi?/!
I'll never purport to be a frequency response graph expert, but it looks like all similarities end at 3K ?

I just randomly grabbed the first graph so I have no idea how accurate that one is. 2nd one is Crins. You can get 2 different measurements of the same earphone and they can look different so it is just a general summary but reading Crins report of how the new Andromeda golds are. it seems the tuning is more in line with chi fi tendencies which was my point on the post.

You have to look more into the general sound balancing when comparing random graphs. Both are balanced similarly. I bet sound similarly too again which was my point.

Tansio Mirai TSMR-2:
Lots of things to try and very little time.
Splendid construction for a distinctive profile, even though the graphics do not represent it that way.

Not sure what it is, but I'm satisfied with the SQ of the NX7 for the price. If this is 85-90% of the Andromeda/Gold, I'm happy. Even if it's not, I don't care because I'm luvin the NX7. I don't find them overly bright like others have said...I just find them detailed, which is what I was looking for, but wasn't willing to fork up a grand+ to get that kinda sound. From everything I've read, the bass on the NX7 is also better than the Andromeda. I love the bass on the NX7, so no complaints there. The NX7 is a great sounding set and I'm happy that it's part of my collection.

So tonight, I downloaded some old school stuff (ABBA Gold album, and SOS Band). Listened to them on my TFZ NO.3 and have been really enjoying the music and the iems. Over the past few months that I've had the No.3's, I've posted that I've not really been "Wowed" by them. After a bunch of tip swaps and a cable swap; plus an extensive break in period; the TFZ NO.3 is finally showing it's worth. Bass is great: impactful, defined and powerful. Mids are nice and forward and the treble region (which I previously found dark and recessed) has opened up and is now giving me a nice, big soundstage. Really starting to enjoy this set alot. They are especially good with old school Funk, like Gap Band, SOS Band and Rick James. Finally getting to appreciate this iem alot!

I'm very satisfied with my NX7 too, they grew on me.
I found them excessively bright OOTB but the micropore mod and some tip-rolling did wonders and now I'm totally enjoying them.
It's always curious how the perception is changed over time: the bass seemed almost lacking at first - now it's for sure one of the most strong aspects.
And the detalization of course. You've heard the track countless times, you believe to know it completely, then you switch to another piece of gear and WHAM! - suddenly you realize what was said in that whisper and the distant clapping is not clapping at all but the drumsticks, you clearly can hear that wooden texture. And so on.

I totally agree - a total revelation to me - they're very addictive, my go to pair since I first received them...Tbh, didn't think I'd ever gel with iems, however the NX7's changed that self-limitation for good!

I've had them a couple of weeks and they're great. Thrown every difficult track I have at them, and they've all been enjoyable. Co-axial driver alignment probably helps, as well as some excellent tuning by BQEYZ. Fit and finish is very good too.

Jeez.
