TONEKING T88K IEM

I'm curious about these, mainly because they've received many positive reviews. But how do these really compare? To things like etymotics, the massdrop plus? Things like sound signature, soundstage, etc. Mainly looking for something neutral or warm neutral.

dwang040warmer than Massdrop+ (Less upper mid shout) but more extended in the treble (There's a peak beyond the mids, but it doesn't bother me). Bass is way more textured and frankly less obnoxious than the MD+. Just received a used pair, it's neutral and natural however it is not tuned for reference. Mids are forward in the mix but in general the T88k are content to envelop you as opposed to pinpointing the exactly location of sounds in the wide soundstage.

HelpbotThanks for the reply. Very late now but still good information. Though, I did end up getting CA Fibae Blacks instead of other options. How are the highs, are they kinda rolled off/ have a warmish presence (if that makes sense). I personally can't stand very high frequency for long periods of time and get fatigued easily.

dwang040The highs are present by not overly so, they roll off after 5-6k I would say (I've heard the hd700 and elex so I'm guessing from my experience here) . Wouldn't call the treble warm but these IEMs can subtle enough if you just lower the volume.
They are balanced well enough (for most genres) that if you fiddle with the volume you should find the ideal level where your music sounds realistic and not harsh at all.
Like others have said, no matter how high I raise the volume I don't hear any sibilance. The worst frequency offenders in the treble have been quelled, but there is definitely some sparkle.
They remind me a bit of the elex but tuned better, the elex is forward even at the 5k mark then begins to Roll off (thus some sibilance) . The T88k I hear a slight mid peak then a cut/valley then another peak in the treble and then a roll off.

Helpbotthe last thing I wanted to point out is that the best feature of these IEMS for the price is definitely the soundstage, which is deep and wide. Sounds constantly begin behind my head, and the depth of the soundstage makes me question if sounds are originating in real life rather than in the Iems. These qualities, paired with the natural/realistic tone of the T88k suspend your belief to the point when you take them off you just want to put them back on!

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
