I'm really undecided: I want to buy the P1 but I really like the bass, and I read reviews about the P1 that their bass is like the T2 and the T3 which means the bass is weak ... because I have the t2 .... so I'm debating whether to buy the P1 or the BGVO DM6 ???

DudiflugWhile they are close to double the cost, the bass in the FiiO FH5's is amazing. Detailed and crisp.

This reviewer says:
I had someone ask about these or the DM6 and in my opinion its these every single time. As far as I am concerned the 2 aren’t even in the same dimension.

DudiflugI really like the bass on the DM6. Strong and deep. Cannot understand what others are listening and what their criteria for bass is but DM6 gives me that WOW effect every time. BGGAR says DM7 is even better, but i dont have it and cannot say, but i vouch for the DM6 with foam tips ofc. For reff. i find the Tin T2 and T3 with less bass than DM6, and T3 is a treble heavy compared to DM6. As i see ppl saying this and that, and when i personally compare the IEM i can say, that there is maybe a build mismatching or something to the DM6 cuz someone say they are treble cannons, of which i say bullshit, and others say they are bass light - something i cannot accept at all. Somewhat controversial i would say but my pairs are solid!

DudiflugMan you guys are way too used to bass-y headphones/IEMs lol. For me I personally think T2 bass is fine. You don't need boosted bass. Natural bass is still bass. But that's just a personal preference. I can appreciate bass-y cans especially for the right music.
That being said T2 by definition I would agree probably has "less" bass than most but that's just because it's in the nature of neutral sound signature. But to me that just means that music that's meant to have bass will have it. I don't particularly think you need one that increases it. I feel EQ should satisfy that need. But nothing is wrong or right so the best thing would be to try and find a way to try them out or find comparison videos/reviews.
All that aside, for 149 these are pretty great considering they're planar IEMs. That's the thing with Tin Hifi. For neutral lovers (well and high treble with the T2 pros) it's more about the fact you're getting A LOT for the price you're spending. Better will always exist if you're willing to spend the money but the Tin lineup has been a pretty good baseline as far as reasonably priced but more bang for your buck.
As you said though, if you really love bass (I would assume meaning you listen to mostly bass heavy music) Tin may not be the way to go. That being said there has been the vent mod you can do by taping the front (not back) ventilation hole. I haven't done it myself but supposedly this is the release for the bass (I assume the air pressure produced) so by plugging it you can, apparently, increase the bass.
I would assume you could do the same to the P1s.

DudiflugThe bass is not weak just fast, its not for bassheads, consider the TFZ no.3 instead.

DudiflugEDIT: Sorry, I had mistakenly written "T2" instead of "T2 pro" - now corrected:
I have the T2 pro, and the DM6. Although I love the DM6 for certain things, the T2 pro are much more accurate and enjoyable if driven enough and with a bit of a bass boost. I accomplish this with a FiiO Q5 (older model) with the gain switch and bass boost switches on. This blows the DM6 out of the water! Much greater accuracy, and still the sound is nothing like sterile or "audiophile" in the analytical sense of the word. Very musical performance. I love it for acoustic guitars, vocals, pop, rock, classical.... So I figure the P1 (when they arrive) will please me at least as much in this combo, and potentially a lot better. DM6, by comparison, is much "busier" throughout, and certain frequencies get on my nerves (some in the treble, some in the mids) on certain songs, or sound a bit off, as in not real. I know this is not a professional way of putting it, but maybe it will help you somehow.

DudiflugEDIT:
Sorry, I made a mistake: I was speaking of the T2 pro, not the T2 (now corrected above). I got mixed up because I first bought the T2 and sent it back, then got the T2 pro.
At any rate, thanks for sharing your opinion. I guess that just confirms that personal preferences differ. Did you run the P2 with a FiiO Q5, with the gain and bass boost switched on????? That's how I ran the T2, and how I'm running the T2 pro now.

bloodpigHad the DM7 and sold them after trialing for an hour. Prefer the DM6. The DM7 had an upper-mid lift that displeased me on several tracks, even on something as "normal" as Fleetwood Mac's "Monday Morning" (not a great recording, but the drums can either keep the beat in a signature way or else stick out like a sore thumb, and the latter is what happened with the DM7). Also found certain vocals too forward in the upper mids. And I was missing a bit of the air on the DM6. Swapping the supplied cable against a better one improved the treble a wee bit, but not enough to match the DM6. Honestly, I never really tried to compare the bass on the two. The DM7 turned me off too fast to want to do that. But since I didn't overtly notice a difference up front, I'd say they are both similar in the bass. Maybe the DM7's bass might seem a bit more "there" because of less air, hence less masking.

Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!
