Is that with your IEC coupler? What source did you use for those measurements?

@Biodegraded yes, and the iPhone dongle on my portable rig.

6.5khz spike?

UPS and USPS both have their days, but damn if FedEx drivers don't all sit in their trucks all day lighting up and hitting attempted delivery on their devices

Interesting. It measures a bit like ER4S. Are you going to make a thread?

@Biodegraded @jowls Will make a thread later on. It’s a two-parter mod, first part’s easy and reversible while the second part is irreversible and requires a microphone and a bit of tinkering to get proper channel matching.

What ‘tier’ are we talking here?

CIEM? I know the feel, been waiting the same amount of time for my speakers. And they aren't even custom, just another variant of their product line.

Ooh, nice! What do you have coming in?

I'm not going there to take a look for myself, but I suspect such people don't understand science or pseudo.

Should be fixed for Friends. Try now.

THANK-YOU!!!! @purr1n

How're you finding the facetweeter?

And are you using any mod, eq, etc, or taking it as is?

Should be in the mailbox on Monday, hopefully. Already ordered the resonator donuts.

2k iems compete with 1k iems in audio quality, it's a weirdly skewed market.

Kind of a shame really, since if it weren't for the massive premium of "good" IEMs over headphones I'd probably abandon circumaurals altogether (or not really, they're comfy as hell and look cool), maybe get some bookshelf speakers at home to complement.

Was it HitmanFluffy who posted a meme-y pic of this one dude who spends $$$ on IEMs and DAPs just to listen to shitty anime songs? That's (almost) me XD

I think you should ask your audiologist, they may have a suggestion from a medical supply place.

From almost anyone on Herd-Fi :-D

Looking to build something better,than mini DSP ears? Or is something like this what you are looking for: https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/ears-headphone-jig

Out of interest, have you heard a modded BW-ES1?

@Luckbad Not exactly, but I haven't heard a DD that I really truly love *yet*. I'm always on the search though, maybe someday...

@jowls Not yet

Best compensation? USD sounds good to me.

The biggest challenge is not the best compensation, but knowing how the individual EARS vary from each other.

IE800S? What, peaky treble and bloated bass again?

@Grahad2 80, not 800. Haven't tried the IE800S yet...

Thank you for calling out the HUM Pristine Reference on its treble rolloff bullshit. When I was thinking about CIEMs, a staff member at a shop with demos proclaimed it to be the best thing coming up, and more accurate than UERM. Yeah, nice try.

@elguapo It can either be that I haven't heard it or I haven't heard it enough. Sometimes there's just not enough interest...

@MrTurtle Yeah... the Pristines are just awful especially for the asking price. They did their marketing good though, seems like more and more companies are trying to exploit the "less is more" motto knowing that most audiophiles aren't familiar with the limitations of BA drivers.

@brencho Not sure if it's too late for you to join but my personal 18+ is still on an SBAF loaner tour.

If Vitaliy can fix the wacky treble of the Tia fourte, then he'll really have something.

As always, newer tech is less impressive than a really well done implementation of the tech used. Let's see if that will start to happen for 64Ears.

It's funny that 64 Audio is calling it their open roof BA development when I heard Knowles was experimenting with this 3 years ago in house.

@kitantisune I'm sorta of familiar with the GR07's many variants (BE, classic, original, 2017, 2018, detachable) but the X is a completely different beast. It's more accurate to call it a GR08 (in-between the 07 and 09) than simply a tweak of the 07.

How is the treble? The peaks ultimately did the old versions in for me. If they've smoothed it out, this could be a great dynamic.

Agreed about the treble. But so much right about the original.
