4K Res really show the beauty of the CANTOR , I really enjoyed watching this video , Thank You. most IEMs stem are too shallow fit , you don't hear enough detail , when I pushed in deeper you can here the bass rumble more properly and vibrate as well.
Regarding tuning, the Cantor's tuning appears to be between the Aful Performer 8 and the Myer-Audio CKLVX CK-D41. While this tuning is not for some, there clearly are a lot of people who really enjoy this tuning since some genres really make this tuning stand out. For that matter, the shells and the cables and the other accessories also appear to stand out.
Very interested in this iem due to the combination of the small nozzle width and all of your comparisons. I prefer more U-shaped tuning with a slightly more relaxed presentation, so this seems up my alley in terms of both fit and listening. Will have to follow up if I decide to pick up a set.
Cantor was among my top listens at CJ SoCal 2023. And it was the prototype. Can’t wait to hear the final version. Think I’ll agree with you that this is a disruptor.
I've had it with chifi in ears, their huge, keep loosing the seal and dropping out, and sound anaemic with trebly sheen all over the place. Gone back with relief to my old Sony H3's. Detail retrieval with chifi planars is good but that's all you get
@@Hijynx87 fourth rehash of the same iem and you pay 100 bucks extra for a mild retune and an ugly keychain. Maybe wait for 11.11 and buy the OG s12 for cheap and get foam tips?
Somehow I misread the comment like Hijynx wanted the s12 2024 instead of already owning it. I was harsh to try to save him money. My bad (sorry). It's still my opinion though, not taking it back. And my opinion, or anyone else's, shouldn't take from anyone's enjoyment. You can chill too.
Hi Dave, how does fc6 dongle pair with that Cantor? Is the Synergy good? Love the fc6 sound. Saw your DC Elite review on gizaudio, does Cantor with its great technicalities need DCE to shine more or does that analogue sound of fc6 suit it better? Thanks.
I would love to hear your take on the ZiiGaat Arete. Designed by a gamer, but with a "studio tuning" and potentially great drivers... From a graph it's quite similar to the Cantor.
I was about to think buying it in a near future but I will rather buy the Softears RSV RS5. I think it can compare to the Aful Cantor in terms of musicality.
im always amazed how chill cozy and beautiful your house is
Lol, thanks. My wife knows how to create a relaxing space! She's amazing! Thanks for watching!
The shot you got of these for your “SOUND” b-roll is unreal. Nicely done!
The faceplate is a piece of art. I am hoping to get a good deal this 11.11.
Demoed it at e.earphone jp, damn those details and separations is god tier

The Starry Night version looks absolutely stunning.

Este set tem chamado a atenção, às vezes de forma positiva outras vezes de forma negativa. Obrigado pela avaliação! 😊

What a beautiful IEM and accessories. I hope I can give it a try some day, because I can't blind buy at this price and with that nozzle length.
yeah I went with the s12 2024 instead lol.

@@Mastermnd1Dude, chill. Different strokes for different folks. Let the guy enjoy his (very nice!) new IEMs.

best review of the cantor so far! really hope i can get one soon
I really dig the Starry Night version... I guess they took inspiration from van Gogh's painting
What is the difference between each of the tips?
Mahn, the starry Night version looks so good 😮

Wow. An IEM which has stock eartips which should be used.
Great review❗️🔆🙋♂️
Aful took their time with this model, not everyone will like it, but they focused on their target.
Do you know if they used Knowles or Sonion BAs?
I would love to hear your take on the ZiiGaat Arete.

Dave is a man who can....he is the Cary Grant of the audio review scene🎉
What is the iem better in detail than the Cantor besides the Diva?
tonedeafmonk has a mod for aftermarket tips.
In Portuguese, cantor mean singer. Last syllable is stronger and the first opened.
Such a sexy face plate. Great review and great job AFUL!
They like camping at the creek.
How does these sound for rock/metal? I can imagine prog/djent would sound amazing on here - tho not sure what death metal would be like..
I was about to think buying it in a near future but I will rather buy the Softears RSV RS5. I think it can compare to the Aful Cantor in terms of musicality.
I always enjoy your reviews and give your dog a hug for me! God bless.
How about FIIO FA19
Great review Dave. point and passion felt. appreciate the content.
Some reviews are saying these are even better than the u12t. I am waiting to see how the upgraded p5 turns out.
they are making a new p5? Better drivers?
@@Hijynx87 With two more drivers, among which one is a planar.
@@Musicophile-p5l oh so it’s not called performer 5 pro or whatever. It’s just a new iem with the same type of tuning?
@@Hijynx87 it's called Performer 5+2, weirdly.
