Where to buy adapter: www.veclan.com/phone/eac_phone_sel_one?eng_ApplianceVo.eac_id=85
The difference between 0-10ohms is roughly the same as the difference between 10-20ohms, and 20-40ohms, and 40-80ohms etc.
So if you like the changes from 0-10 and you want about triple the boost more for example, you don't go with 30 but instead 40 and for a quad boost you'd go with 80
Ooooo I wish I had the 4.4mm adapters, so I’ll need to use an adapter to use the adapters I have haha.
@@Hijynx87 LOL yeah. I feel you. VE does have 4.4 tho
You're doing god's work with the impedance adapter graphs in your database. Very useful info.
I appreciate it! I always do a 75 ohm reading when the driver count is 2 or more.
I used the 10 ohm adapter that came with Zero Red on my SL41, and the vocals and bass sound definitely became more three-dimensional.
I was looking for a video and I thought there would be a video like this!!
Haha yeah, once I get SL41 in I’ll make a video and I’ll be sure to measure with adapter. Thanks!
Doing exactly this myself this morning.
Why wasn't I surprised that you tried them with the impedance adapter 😂 great vid. Thank you. Sadly the can't get them in the EU.
What!? Nooooooo! Hifi go might be picking them up… hopefully you can get them then…
Where is the problem being in the EU? Are you not allowed to order from China? I, from Switzerland (well, technically not in the EU but similar rules) had absolutely no issues ordering them from Venture Electronics directly.
@@SoundNoob-ob6lf the issue is already resolved. The AliExpress link didn't work for me. Seems they don't ship to me but hifigo ships to my country.
Wait...that's illegal!
LMAO!
I’ve been shilling for impedance adapters for a long time. Glad to see more hobbyists using and experimenting with them. There’s a great set with 25, 50, and 75ohm adapters that can be found cheap, and give you a lot of room for experimentation. Unless you’re running a Q5k or another dongle with PEQ capability, this is a great way to get more legs out of your IEMs. I used a 75ohm adapter to turn a Khan into a bass canon that competes alongside my much more expensive Scarlett Mini. Definitely worth picking up a set.
I got that set myself, love it! They are such a good time!
It's 2024. PEQ should be a standard already.
@@MrGarkin You'd think; it's the one feature that justifies the Qudelix 5k for me. I can transfer my custom EQs to my mobile setup. I EQ almost every set in my collection. At this point, I won't listen to many of my headphones or IEMs without custom EQs.
Hell yeah I’m gonna have to bust out my adapter. I already love the bass on this set. Once I saw your video on the d41 I knew I was in for a treat when mine came it. It showed up yesterday and I was not disappointed. I didn’t even think to throw on an adapter!
Totally! Like it has got some quality bass on it! So glad you like it!
Nice work looks so delicious🤤, waiting my set to arrive
Hope you like them!
I'm going to have to try that with my Pula PA02. 🙂 Hopefully I'll get a similar result.🤞 Thank you for another great one! 👍
I sure hope it does! Haha otherwise they are not as similar as we were told lol
Wow, first time hearing about impedance adapters. I'm new to Hi-Fi, but I did just order these IEMs! A lot of great remarks of them.
Nice! Glad to introduce you to the world of impedance haha
That would've been a perfect FR graph indeed!
A not apples to apples comparison but how'd you compare these to Hidizs MP145 (FR graphs are similar but different hardware)
Good question. It really comes down to the treble. To me the CKLVX treble is preferable, reason for that is I enjoy more Air than I do Mid Treble. That said, I think that’d come down to the individual. I also find CKLVX bass to be a step up some reason.
@@HobbyTalk thanks for your input. I guess we share similar tastes 🙂
This is cheating! Damn... it sound good with the 75 ohms adaptor!! (for me that I don't really like the Zero:RED and the Castor with 75ohms adaptor).
Bigger soundstage (+bass) and less spiciness in the treble region using generic foam tips at low gain, I love these right now
Once I’m home I’ll graph the 10 ohm if I remember. If it’s not up in 3 days remind me haha but ya totally.. it’s so dang good with the adapter!!!
@@HobbyTalk I already saw the graph with the 10 ohms adapter, thanks!!
I love it as well with the 10 ohms adapter but with the stock white eartips instead of the memory foam like the 75 ohms 😃
Does the impedance adapter comes in 4.4mm??
Cos i just ordered the 4.4 version for the Cklvx d41..
Should i change it to the 3.5mm version instead.? @hobbytalk
It does, check the link in posted comments
@@HobbyTalk ok thank you
With the impedance adapter the volume went down by 50% softer
just curious what type of music genre do you listen to?
All of them haha link to my playlist is in the description
Have you tried a set of modded S12s from Michael Bruce yet? I had him do his 'Glamdring' mod on a set of S12 Pros and OMG the bass! They have been my go to while I've been dealing with getting my fatfreq Maestro Mini's warrantied.
I haven’t no… would like to
@@HobbyTalk highly recommended. I’m actually going to do something silly now and try an impedance adapter on the Glamdring…wish me luck. 🙃
@@woodywoodman4309
Idk if that would work. In order for impedance adapters to change the fr it needs to have a crossover I believe. Usually it works with multi driver iems for better or worse.
@@Hijynx87 Thanks for the info. I'm a Luddite when it comes to the inner workings of IEMs It was a silly experiment anyway as the Glamdring is fantastic as is.
What tips are you lovely people using? I’ve got divinus velvet on mine, also softears UC worked well. Still rollin rollin rollin!
I’m using TinHiFi foam tips. Also liked SS tips.
Can you graph it with the 10 ohm? If you did, what did you find? I like the CHKLVX stock - just tried a 10 ohm impedance adapter on this and it does add a touch of bass and cleans up the highs a bit - but stock alone without adapter is good too. Also just got a 75 ohm to try out. Skip the basic dongle and go DAC/AMP - so good. This is a sleeper IEM set for 156 or so (got mine 151 on Ali a couple weeks back),
I’ll give it a shot. 10ohms would produce about 1/3 the boost due to how impedance changes are logarithmic. But I’ll graph it so you can see it in a bit, I’m off today so have time.
@@HobbyTalk Thanks - would be cool to see this type of graphing done on every IEM review by the reviewers. I know the reviews are for "stock" IEMs out of the of the box but if we had ways to determine what adjusting impedance could do - and how to make good IEMs great, could be helpful. For example, my Q5 from EPZ are really trebel-heavy and an impedance adapter makes them nicer and less fatiguing.
Sorry it took so long to get up: hobbytalk.squig.link/?share=Δ_10dB_Target,Myer_Audio_CKLVX,Myer_Audio_CKLVX_10 there is the graph for you
@@HobbyTalk thanks for that and it is interesting to see the lift from 4-7k. I like the results with the 10, i have a 30 on order to see how that might work on some of my IEMs.
Tried the adapter without any dac .. straight to my phone... Noticed there is a bass boosted but the otherall sound is softer by 50%
So I guess the adapter really needs a dac amp to drive it??
Can you do the Sliivo sl41 if possible?
When I get a unit in I will.
I just got my set, holy cow! This $135 set is pretty comparable to my mangird tea 2, that’s nuts!
So glad you like it!
My D41set just arrived!!!
The sound is incredibly AMAZING!!!
Coming from Chopin x Gizaudio, Aria
Nice!!! Ya I’m stoked you like it :) I really like it!
@@HobbyTalk I ve got the 80ohm adapter and am just waiting for my new hiby FC6 to arrive from there I will hook up all of them and give u an update on it 😄
I have them all. Apart from a powerful source that can accommodate my volumes. That impedance change reduces the volumes by 50%
Nice!!!
@HobbyTalk not nice. Lol
@@paulosilva8200 might have misread lol my bad… sorry, I see what you’re saying now ya…
Same here I tried the 80ohm adapter. And the sound went down by 50% too... Not good too..
I think we need to use a dac amp to fully utilize the adapter.
Anyway without the adapter is good enough
@nicko7201 ha ham I just read 10% and I knew it about the volume. Lol
I tried using the 80ohm adapter on my D41 straight to my phone as my new dac hiby FC6 hasn't arrived yet..
Noticed drop on volume.. about 50% softer ??
So i guess need to use the 80ohm adapter with a Dac? To maximize it?
As long as you can get to listening volume you should be okay
Already max out my volume.. is not loud enough without a dac
Hi there! This is a great review. I'm considering buying these IEMs and need help deciding between the 3.5mm and 4.4mm adapter options. Can you provide some guidance?
Take a look at the link in my pinned comment, VE has 3.5 and 4.4 adapters. They are what I use.
The SLIIVO with the 80 ohm adapter sounds really good also!
Can’t wait to try it!
@@HobbyTalk I've got the SLIIVO SLT6 on the way 🙈
@@MichaelJMalloy want to try that too!
@@HobbyTalk Meyer has me hooked lol
Did you use it with a dac amp? Or without?😊
good work 🎉
Thank ya!
