    I have been really enjoying the CKLVX CK-D41 ever since I received it a week and a half ago. Female vocals are particularly nice since "s" and "sh" sounds are tamed by the frequency response dip at around 6 kHz.

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  9 місяців тому +4

      D41 has a little more bass impact, isn't as balanced in the upper, similar stage width and depth. Hype 4 is better detailed and resolving, slightly better tone and timber, better layering, slightly more controlled in the bass and uppers. Both are excellent with the differences being mostly in the technical abilities.

  • @jakefoxx7978
    @jakefoxx7978 8 місяців тому +1

    I think I found an eartip for the CKLVX that makes it indistinguishable from the Hype 4 (at least in terms of pure sonics). Azla SednaEarFit Vivid Edition eartips, they bring out more flavor from the midbass, redirect the mids to sound more balanced between male and female vocals whilst still complimenting the tonality of lead instruments, and they "wake up" the treble so that it comes across as being more enthusiastic/less dull. I almost can't tell the two iems apart now, but I'm pretty sure the Hype 4 still has the better technicalities.

    • @TheHonestAudiophile

      SL41 is a solid option unless you double the budget for Softears Studio 4 or FATfrequency Reference Pro. D41 is a little warmer than SL41 but as long as you understand that you can compensate when mixing.

      As for changes on price point, they can be subtle to drastic, depending on the tuning and implementation and qual8ty of components. Most difference noticed will be in details retrieved, how they're resolved, tone, timbre and staging abilities.

      I've not heard the Blessing 3 since I review it. But if memory serves me correctly, the Hype 4 is a bit more fun leading and the Blessing 3 is more neutral, analytical leaning. I don't remember enough about the technical abilities to do a fair comparison.

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Місяць тому

      Different presentations, Quintet is more forward in the mids, the D41 is more balanced. The Quintet is little more detailed and resolving. D41 is slightly more natural tone and timbre.

      Chopin isn't as full sounding, isn't as natural with tone and timbre, similar details and resolution but maybe slight edge to D41, stage is more refined and focused on D41.

    I respect your reviews of past but thus one was highly disappointed and here's why ,
    You praise these iems and rightfully so , but then you go and compare them to 2 cheap iems that no one talks about , so if you going to give high marks for a iem then us consumers are waiting for price match and more so we'll known above price iem , because to really like something there should have been a challenge for it and you gave none . That being said I guess I have to search other reviews.

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
