I'm looking for a good analytical IEM ... without exaggeration.

Oct 11, 2020223 VIEWS

Hi everyone. I would like to ask you for help. Thank you in advance for the time you will dedicate to my consultation. Black Friday is here (sooner than we think), Christmas ... and I have the Campfire Solaris (gold) in my sights. Last Thursday I tried Solaris 2020 and also Ara, as it caught my attention that they told me that they are more analytical. I left with more doubts than I had when I entered, because I found myself cos two somewhat "dark" IEMs, although I admit that I did not dedicate the time I would have liked to audition (5 min each). And from there, the doubts: search and search and find the usual pile of options ... I have read a lot about the Vision Ears Zeus, even that they can be excessively detailed and analytical for some people, with instruments, very? separated. They may fit me ... but that assessment "scared" me. The best thing is to try them, of course ... but it is not easy, you know. It is not easy to find them either, as they are out of stock on many websites. They also catch my eye, but I see few reviews of the Moondrop Solis and S8. Other options that have been coming out in the 30? Reviews I've read in a couple of days are Vision Ears Phantom and Noble Kaiser Encore. The PVP starts to rise ... And everything revolves around here: Solaris, Ara, Zeus, Solis, Phantom and Kaiser Encore. What experience do you have with these IEMs? Thank you all.

That all depends on how much you want to spend ;-) The best iem out of the other 13 I have is the QDC Anole (Chameleon) V3. It sounds almost as good as my FOCAL Clear.

Dear friend, which Anole V3 are you comparing with Focal Clear? V3S, or V3C? Thanks

JavierL Its the V3s, I'd say it comes about 85% of the way to comparing to the Clear. Great IEM. ;-)

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!!

A decent set of IEMs

I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
