Honestly, Supermix 4 for quite a bit less will be everything you need: yes, it's harman-ish tuned, but sounds very detailed, has capable drivers, is comfortable and with just a bit of EQ (lower treble a bit down and maybe upper treble too, depending on your taste) it's really nice. However, the accessory package is a bit lacking and I'd definitively recommend buying separate tips as the included ones aren't great. For me, Spinfit Omni worked like a charm on them.

Thank you :-) Yeah, also my thought. I hope they make a gen 2 with just like 10% more polish this could be a really nice device. As it stands though, I see more cons than pros.

Happy you like it :-)

Some single DD sets are really nice and even some high-end ones like Zen or Zen Pro seem to perform really well. But I agree: with 2 DD or more, you usually end up with better separation and potentially better punch & slam while maintaining upper-treble extension^^

Yes, these are a PURE cylinder. No ball/ funnel shape whatsoever, really a pure cylinder. And that usually doesn't work so great for most people and I would not recommend them if you don't already have a tip that works well for you. If you would like to try something more cylindrical though, I would say rather check out the ePro tips. These are pretty cylindrical, but have a light rounding to them which makes them generally fit a bit better in my experience.

@@don_spektor Thank you for your help. Have a nice day

@@MML66 You're welcome, let me know if you have any other questions :)

@@don_spektor It may be a personal question, but it means a lot to me if you are forced to buy from one IEM store and have no other choice, but this store adds a lot to the price of the IEM. For example, if the price is 220, it adds 80$ to it, or if it is $400, it adds 200% This means that you buy items for the price of items. Better but less performance. Will you leave the hobby or continue?

@@MML66 Oh that's a tricky question... Hmm... I think, if forced to only buy where they have way higher prices than what they should, I'd find myself the one IEM I really like and then stop all future spending (at least until the IEM breaks or I'd loose it). In my case, that's be for instance the EJ07M or the Quintet or the Supermix 4 because they really fit my personal taste and libary very well and if I'd not be making reviews, I'd be more than happy with any of these as my only IEM :) Hope that's helpful to you?

Hey Sorry, I do not have the devices you mentioned. But as I also said here, once you pass a certain threshold, there won't be many differences anyway. This means, I highly doubt in a blind test you'll be able to tell them apart because they'll all measure well and do not change the sound profile or interfere in an audible way with the harmonics.

I can imagine... That's why I also said they are too cylindrical for most cases as I had a few IEMs where they also made for a rather uncomfortable fit... Maybe consider the ePro? They are a tad more round but still keep most of the cylinder shape.

@@don_spektor Yeah, sometimes I can easily insert it just fine, other times I struggle getting a good seal. I'll have a look at the ePro!

Glad I could help :-)

Hey, sorry I'm not sure if I understand you: does the tip come off the nozzle? If so, you might need to consider tips with a smaller inner cylinder. Spinfit Omni are pretty good there for me. Please note though, the Omni are relatively short and I'm not sure if that's to your liking.

Does the Rosefinch have a shorter nozzle?

@@don_spektor not really, about average like the S.G Wan'er

No surprise with the width they have xD They make my ears hurt after just a couple minutes on everything that's not a TWS...

I'd take the more narrow bore any day of the week over these: they really are among the weirdest and possibly worst tips I have tried so far and even when looking for other opinions, I couldn't really find one that was excited about them xD

Wished the Velvet TWS comes in black like the normal ones, white makes it looks disgusting after awhile for me

@@IderuShikesu Velvet come in TWS? didn't know that. The wide bore I have heard about when they came out and have them on the list, but maybe I'll also take a look at the TWS version^^

@@don_spektor yup, saw them on AliExpress 🤙

@don_spektor they have for tws that's what I have on my samsung buds2pro. And they're ok.

I only the Quintet here as a direct comparison but I'll definitively use it as a base for the review :)

Oh ok, I didn't expect it to just split but it somehow also doesn't really surprise me, this tip somehow feels more flimsy than the regular Tang Sancai and then we haven't even tackled the bad fit xD

That's why I also said, i can absolute not recommend them and would suggest anything else over these xD

Thanks guys you've saved me. I was considering these.

Wait what? When xD? I'll record the wide bore review today or tomorrow the other ones came out of nowhere. Need to get my hands on them too, absolutely^^

I can only answer this absolutely personally, with my small ear-canal and preference for brighter signatures. So far, I really like the Liquid Silicone tip on all IEMs I can get it to fit my ear. It sounds balanced, detailed, slightly brighter and is very comfortable assuming you have a shorter nozzle IEM. Also it seems to be pretty durable. But honestly, Spinfit Omni in the time I have it now also is very good, better than the CP360 while being similarly long. Will still take a bit to get a conclusive opinion on it, but so far it's really good :)

@@don_spektor thanks Want to try xelastec but someone said that it's not durable enough

@@ogemmi Oh yeah, they are not. In regular usage, they probably only get you like half a year or so... I suspect the Xelastecs2 should last a bit longer because they use quite a bit thicker material, but so far I have only had them here like two weeks, so its too early to say more.

@@don_spektor any plan on reviewing divinus velvet wide bore? Thanks for the follow up btw

@@ogemmi Yes, during the next sale I'll probably add them to my haul :-)

Thank you :D Well, I'm lazy, what should I say xD Had access for more than a year but the whole thing with the phone-book is sooo annoying. I'm a developer myself and I would have automated that whole spiel first thing because its soo damn annoying xD

@@don_spektor ouh yeah the phonebook + json files got me stressing for almost a week since I wanted to customise it to my preference 😭

These are still ok in terms of outlet. The worst offender there are the Variations, these are a bitc* to get in your ear xD

@@don_spektor I've heard that Truthears are just as bad for being so big in diameter. Sad cause they're really good IEMs too.

@@miershyk So far I have had literally zero of their IEMs, but from pictures, yeah, they seem to have BIG nozzles :/

That's a general problem with all reviewers that get sent stuff (including myself)... Even Crin is no exception there. He seems to forget that IEMs actually need to fit people and somehow 6.4mm nozzles or big/pointy shells aren't the way to do that :/ But yeah, Zeos himself is more of an entertainer who sells things than an actual reviewer in my opinion. Haven't watched his content in ages because he doesn't really take criticism seriously.

@@don_spektor As someone once said about him which i wholeheartedly agree; " Zeos is a salesman and hella good at it BUT not a reviewer." 😅

Had to look them up first. Ah, these are the ones with integrated filters. I have seen them before but so far didn't really had them on my radar, thank you I see if I can get them in my next haul :-)

Ah very interesting to know, thank you! Never heard about that anime, but the summary on Wiki sounds interesting :-)

I do not have the BTR15 or H2, sorry. However, I have the BTR5 and UP5 and compared to these this has more power and seems to be warmer.. This probably is due to it having a high output impedance: according to the only other review of this device I was able to find, this has 10 ohms output impedance :/ Other than that, it sounds very good and doesn't seem to lack anything. But there are other issues, which I'll go into detail in my review that probably is ready next weekend :)

@@don_spektor thank you..

@@ilhammotor3366 You're welcome, sorry I couldn't be of concrete help here...

Happy to hear they work for you well :) Judging from how you described it, it sounds like you might need to downsize other tips as that should help them not break the seal when you move your mouth. Other tips with very short stems I could see: MS42, CP360, Sedna Max or the BGVP Foam. The shortest stem by a long shot is the Max. But hey seem to be made with TWS in mind so that's expected there^^

@@don_spektor I'm already using the smallest size. Usually the 11mm range. 😅Recently came across the Sedna Max so I might consider that. There's also the Spinfit Omni but apparently that doesn't have a super short stem. Short, but the standard short. Or maybe I should look for eartips that are more tapered so I can stick it in deeper, though I don't dare touch the double/triple flange ones. I think the Spring Tips work nicely because the flange are softer compared to Spinfit ones (with the TZ SC hardness being in the middle), so it doesn't break as easily because it quickly molds to the ear canal shape...? Just a pity that the Spring Tips reduce bass quite noticeably.

@@miershyk I feel you bro, for me most S tips are too much and I need SS with basically every tip that offers them^^ The MS42 I just unboxed have a very small tip though, probably the smallest I have had so far :)

@@don_spektor Oooh! I checked their measurement and dang, XS is really small! Their XS is basically Spring TIps S size! It also seems my right ear canal is shaped weirdly and those oval earphone tips fit better. I'm currently using Spin Fit W1 SS and at least it seals as good as Spring Tips without losing the bass. As long as I don't smile, no seal break. I prefer the W1 to the CP100+ as it seems to stick/seal better too.

@@miershyk CP100 were too long for my ear^^ I really need shorter tips with most IEMs and the Omni as well as the CP360 do a good job there. Omni probably a bit better, but you can't get the Omni on wide nozzle IEMs: 6mm is already a tad too wide...

What is JM1? I have not heard about that target curve so far.

@@don_spektor TD;DR it is a curve created from the research of the b&k5128

You're welcome :-)

Very good question :-) Currently, I think the Liquid Silicone tips: they are comfortable, fit safely and isolate rather well. Also, they tend to bring up upper treble a bit more which helps with the detail perception (which I personally like), but could potentially introduce a slightly shimmery timbre. Of course, assuming you do not mean custom ear-tips count. If they do, then custom tips, they are basically perfect in terms of fit and isolation :-)

I cant say for sure as I do not have them. However, judging from the shape the S&S might be a bit long and the cylinder shape could also be a bit of a "hit or miss". I'd suggest first trying the tips that come with it in all sizes and if that doesn't work see if you need a longer tip or a shorter one. If longer is ok, I'd recommend the ST35, it shorter is needed, the CP360 are a good and not too expensive option :-)

I personally wouldn't use the S&S in the 711 couplers: real ear canals are S-shaped and with the S&S in the coupler you would insert them deeper than any real ear would be. I personally chose an M-size tip with thinner material and a medium-sized outlet for my IEM measurements, which I keep for all of them in order to keep them comparable among each other. This seems to work fine so far and gives me reproducible/consistent measurements. Just see which tip you have that's a good allrounder and that stays in the coupler well enough and you should be fine :-)

@@don_spektor I see tysm! It makes sense when you put it that way. I managed to find a decent tip for measuring IEM after reading your reply and scouring some of the tips I received from the different IEMs I've bought. And it seems that the size S tip with black nozzle that comes with Artti T10 is a perfect fit for the iec711, and it doesn't fold or collapse on itself when adjusting the position or depth of insertion. 🤙 And, most importantly, it provides consistent results every time. Anw, thanks again for the insightful reply.🙏

@@IderuShikesu Happy I could help :-) If there's anything else, just let me know, I try to be of assistance wherever possible :-)

It could also be aluminium because it doesn't sound like plastic when I try to poke/hit it. Plus, it feels VERY sturdy, similar to the PH05 I checked out just last week.

​@@don_spektor What I'm sayin is Iphone15 promax just came out in titanium as a premium..my dacAmps done it long time ago ...that's it..Then came urs carbon wutever. ..ha4 .gd 1..Peace!

@@masterazlan6999 I checked the product now in detail and the description: the shell, minus the top plastic cover, is a single part of machined aluminium with a surface finish that looks like carbon. So it fells very nice in the hand and also looks very well made, again minus the plastic cover on top. For the price, I'd even go as far as to say this is more than one could expect: machined aluminium is not cheap and the material thickness here is pretty high. Of course a iPhone with a bit of actual grade 5 titanium is quite a bit different, but if you ask me, I'd prefer machined aluminium back over the glass they use^^

If you are referring to the Atom 2 stack: most people know the JDD Atom (2) stack and therefore my comparing it in terms of sizing gives people a good comparison of how big/small they are. If you are referring to the other alternatives I mention at the end: due to most good DAC/AMPs or stacks measuring so well, it'll be very unlikely you will hear a difference between devices in a real blind/ABX scenario. Hence, I do mention other chapter alternatives that do seem to measure well. And if you don't need Bluetooth or the EQ software, you have many options that also measure very well... And are cheaper. Therefore, the point of this is to give people perspective.

100%ly agree with you. You can see the lack of air in the frequency response measurements very well, there is almost none and that combined with the warm tiled signature can make things come off as blunted. And yes, the nozzle is super weird, I couldn't get this to fit with 95% of my tips and even with the last 5% it wasn't good at all :/ I also do not think wider bore tips will help. Medium width maybe like the Liquid Silicone, but even then I assume they'll be "flat" and kinda congested...

Yeah, that would make them even better. I do not use these on longer to medium-long nozzle IEMs for exactly that reason...

Good to know :-) The nice thing about these is that they come with a nice case and the material is very flexible and that is still cheap. I'll also try find the other tips you mentioned here, thank you for the suggestions :-)

Sorry, I do not have the IE200 or MP145 here. But judging from the graph, both would be good options as a general all-rounder. I'd personally probably choose the MP145, just because the planar driver usually is way more capable than Sennheisers DDs. But due to the lack of me having had both here, take my opinion with a grain of salt.

@@don_spektor thats okay i have both i love the mp145 in terms of detail. But in terms of comfort and neutral sounding ie200 is good. And you can sleep because the light weight

@@nathz2020 Yeah, I have read a few opinions that the MP145 isn't that comfortable... I had asked Hisdisz for a review unit some time ago, but they unfortunately declined...

Thank you :-) Unfortunately, in the EU it's very hard to find JDS products... I read many positive things about the Atom 2 stack but with the import costs, it doesn't make any sense to get it at the moment...

Thank you :-)

Already working on it :-) Probably next weekend as I need more time to get this through real-world situations where you'd use it for :-)

Yeah, I think the most important for DACs nowadays after a certain price point is the feature set. If it has 0,0001% or 0,000001% THD doesn't really make a difference, same for AMPs...

Yeah right :/? Topping kinda missed the mark with these details for me here...
