    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.

    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.

    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.

  Rhapsodio Zombie in the house. 8+1 hybrid. Too much bass, treble lacks snap. The search continues on...

  2018 goal: create a headphone FR database with EARS. Now I just need the experts to decide on the best compensation...

    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.

    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.
    
    Oct 27, 2017
  4. La Cenric
    @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.

  New 64 Audio products announced. The Tia Trio and a revamp of the U12 called U12t, now using their roofless tia drivers.
  
  Oct 21, 2017
  2. Kunlun
    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.

  GR07X in the house. Easily one of the most neutrally-tuned DD IEMs out there. Extremely low THD from prelim measurements.

    @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.

  Earsonics (if anyone can still remember them) teases their new ES5 IEM today. If nomenclature follows history, it should have five drivers.
