checkVerified Buyer
of all the IEMs I own (more than 10), this one is the worst in my opinion
what I hate
- not comfort to wear. one thing is heavy, the other is the shape just not right, and I feel like the IEM is pushing itself out of my ear.
- sound stage is small

albert_gsgTry tip rolling, included tips are junk, I end up choosing SpinFit CP500, other people may have diff preferences, but many choices are much better than the included tips.

albert_gsgThe shape requires “special” tips for smaller ear canals and probably just aren’t well for small ears. There should be a large disclaimer given the cost.. also, one could start with the much more affordable Nobel X for Nobel U-Sizing.
For my smaller ear canals, the Spinfit CP240 double-flange work well to hold the IEMs and change the sound from “meh” to AMAZING. Nobel would be smart to include some good double and triple flanges in the box.

PaulNSThank you all for the advice. I will try Spinfit tips and see what happens.
Personally, I am used to using the default tips and have no issue with all my other IEMs, and even the big audeze lcdi4 could stay in my ears comfortably. for a $900 IEM, I expect a good quality level, and Kaiser failed. Another #900 IEM on mass drop, the MASSDROP X EMPIRE EARS ZEUS UNIVERSAL IEMS, is way much butter than Kaiser. the Zeus is light weighted, very easy to drive, great sound, and large sound stage, and beats Kaiser in every way in my opinion.
last, for the $900 price range IEMs I own, my preference:
Mass Zeus> se846, w80, xelento(same leve)>>Kaiser
PS: se846 and xelento got plus because of new shure bt2 wireless cable/sony m2bt1(used with Sony player)

albert_gsgOh, I’m not saying it’s a great situation by any means (I won’t buy any more Nobel Universal fit). Just hoping to maybe reduce the sting a bit..

albert_gsgAhh, I've requested the Zeus .. although I'm technically over by budget for the year D:
For mobile BT the simple ES100 seems OK for such a small unit (and intersection of AAC+2.5mm). I like the traditional cables .. just not attached to my phone.

PaulNSdefinitely get Zeus, it totally worth the price.
I have es100 and like its performance, but don't use is much because of the buttons are too small, even smaller than the shure bt2, so that I had a hard time operating es100 blindly. in addition, I use sony more and my cables are more geared towards 4.4 rather than 2.5.
BTW, it is almost impossible to attach cable to phones now, since apple started to kill 3.5 and many other phone makers followed, expect Samsung. As a matter of fact, that is one of the few reasons that I still buy Samsung phones.

albert_gsgSorry you didn't like the k10u. I think you needed to let them break in or did not try to get better tips. With the price discount it seems they went cheap with the accessories. With the right tips and break in time they are amazing. I hope you have not given up on them and are able to improve the rating.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
