They do sound great but too big for my ear canals. Selling on eBay now.

I think thsee are too big for women. The earpads come down to my neck. How to adjust?

i have a dolby access license for pc. It is better to use the maxwell pure stereo or with the dolby tool?

btw, all jokes aside (but quad-stack for 8Ohm IEM is, actually, funny one) - what about +/- sensitive stuff? I currently have HiFiMAN Serenade and Meze Liric, for example - it's a quite noisy combination. It sounds good as for me, but I definitely need ifi imatch for them :(

How do the LCD 2C compare tuning wise to the GX? Which is better for vocal centric rick, metal and alternative? I found the LCD X a bit boring. Lastly did you have to EQ the LCD 2C?

Do you have a big head? I wish I could try these on. The clamp force on the Alpha Wireless and Arctis Pro Wireless killed me so I don't want to invest in this and be screwed. The only headsets I have worn that are comfy for me are the new Atlas Air by Turtle Beach and the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro 2023.

Still to this day i use these headphones for music, gaming, cinema, and work

Great video, my daughter and I were wishing the background was in focus, as we were trying to identify the anime figures!

Naa my old skol Q5S TC way cuter n better noobs..Peace!

What's your daily carry?

You should never combine left and right channels can I get sound like put some more power than it actually does it should be measured in the amount of power per channel RMS

The XBass is the magic sauce in the ifi DAC/Amps. I'd avoid any iFi DAC/Amp that doesn't have the Xbass. Gryphon > Diablo/2(No XBass)

It is fortuitious that you didn't go completely deaf by the experience you recounted in the video, Master! I had a similar experience whilst wearing my Campfire Dorado earphones a couple of weeks ago. It was NOT fun. Coincidentally, I own amplifiers by all three brands mentioned in this video (different models, however).

After six months, (I placed an order on December 23, 2023), I received my SS Tungsten on June 18th, 2024. I have been burning them in for about 80 hours as of this writing - and listening to them too. My chain: Gustard A26 DAC Burson Soloists 3XP with Supercharger 3A and the new V7 opamps. Balanced inputs and balanced outputs Other headphones I use on this setup: • Meze Empyrean, Hifiman HE1000 v2, DCA Aeon Closed X, AKG k702 (modified) (Austria edition) I have over 8,000 songs in FLAC format. • Jazz, soundtracks, classical, house, hip-hop, reggae, beatless, lounge, rock, world, R&B, et, et, pretty much everything except K-pop & country. Impressions: • Driving the Tungsten is not an issue with my setup. Of all the headphones I’ve tried, the Tungsten is the only pair I had to use high-gain. I’ve been comfortably listening at levels between 40 and 70 out of a max level of 99 on the Burson. Yes, this is a lot of power/voltage. • The sound is balanced and musical. Extremely enjoyable. They sound more realistic than any headphones I’ve heard -> am I listening to live music?? Details stand out. Bass is strong, clean, and impactful. Male and female voices come thru clean and are placed where they should be. Separation is great. Details shine. • Every genre sounds great. These are extremely enjoyable and comfortable to listen to. • I could not be more happy considering the value-to-performance and FUN the Tungsten (combined with the Burson and Gustard) offers. Update: 7/1/2024 After hours of listening, the Tungsten is, by FAR, a more enjoyable experience than I have ever heard. Enough said!

how is the audio leak?

Thank you, was looking precisely for this comparison.

the way you deliver your thoughts is very easy to digest. I bought my maxwell because of you and what you said is what I get. I was wondering if you will be reviewing the HIFIMAN sundara.... I have been recommending KZ Castor to my friends because its cheap and the audio quality is really good.

sony bought audeze AND dolby atmos is free to use now in the sound settings! just though people want to know if they think having atmos is a dealbreaker or not. so it is definetly on the ps5 atleast, just ordered my maxwell hope this helps you guys in someway.

It's the clearest sound explanation for a non audiophile like me. Subscribing!

Oh nice you managed to get that champagne colored faceplate in your FA-10. I wish that was still an option. The blue option was what I got. Was great. I wiah they wouldnt use metal switch toggles for the buttons. The FluxLab Volot has actual push-in buttons that you dont need to worry about them metal rods breaking in shipping.

My hip dac-3 went from intermittently not working in Tidal to never working after playing a MQA audio track. I have to power off/on or un-plug/plug and it works again. Found they have a FW to disable MQA and after that everything works great other than not using the native MQA decode on the DAC.

I have a question Has it 8 channel audio ?

Thank you for the review. I’m puzzled by your experience with the Sony though. I own them and to my ear they deliver smooth, clear, separate, delightful bass. My impression of the Mezes is that their bass is not as marked as you describe it. Interesting.

"These are too big for my head." I really want a reaction to the Abyss 1266 lol

😇 May God Bless You Always! 😇

Great sound but horrible design, especially the position of cable connector. On a heavier IEM it's quite important to use cable hook as support, cable on these provides no support whatsoever due to connector being a tad bit too high.

changing the earpads to a cooling memory foam variant is the BEST thing to do! Luckily I had the senneheiser GSP500/600 earcups before they were discontinued but Amazon has plenty of vendors that offer the same earpad. The STOCK EAR PADS on then open headphones are really bad!

shit im gonna get these you said theyre neutral perfect

I like the sony mdr 7506 the best with that said which is the most similar open back headphone thats like those? speaking purely on how it sounds i dont care about earpds or anything else just the sound

"DVI looking port" ...Am I old? And that is why i know what that really is?

KOPH40 VS THE new ONES: Cl/2?

Do you prefer Rose or MP145?

Merci pour la vidéo mais c'est dommage elle est pas sous-titrée en français. Alors je mets pas de pouce ni en haut ni en bas.

go very well with NICEHCK MixPP 6N OCC cable in 4.4mm BAL (MMCX)

They seem impressive! 😮

We never did get that review or update

Unfortunately, the remote button of mine isn't working

I love the MP145, but I have one major issue. The vocal tips and the bass tips are absolutely impossible to put on over the filters. I’ve never had this issue on any other IEMs, and even the balanced tips barely fit! Any tips for how to put them on?

they lack 2 most important features for me. 1. parametric EQ to fix some dumb decision meking in my IEM (thanks campfire, your incompetence will remain in history) 2nd. a pleasent relaxed sound.

I tried those pads. You lose volume and bass. And the detail is less prominent.

these are the most accurate sounding headphones I’ve ever tried. They sound like everything is perfectly balanced.

I need to know something, please. I get that XLR is not connected to the DSP. But can you please confirm if the DSP saves the profile on board? Like when you set a compressor in the bundled software then connect the microphone to a android phone, does it keep the setting?

I much prefer this kinda of video over the overproduced cinematic stuff. I feel like this was just a person to person conversation about something we all love. And i definitely feel informed

Jt1s in game with suroound are by far the most amazing thing i ever used. Directionery sounds iminging and hight effects are mind blowing i want the ft3s but im more interested in the 32 ohm version

How do these feel with glasses? I figure with yours you could offer a little insight.

PentaConn. Pentagon is a shape and a government agency.

Fun fact, I somehow ended up here listening to comments about preassure on the head, cable too long etc. after watching a video about people who survive by eating from their local dump. What a contrast.

If you want to know what these headphones are all about listen to this Andreas Vollenweider Caverne magica. And there you have it it's magic for real :)

I have the original X1 (for 9 years now) still in good condition and haven't come across some other headphone that is playful engaging as the X1. I am sure there are headphones out there with better specs but for some unknown reason i always circle back to the X1. They are magic i tell you for real :)
