Great review! I love this IEM, it’s my first planar IEM. The tonal balance is not my favorite, but it responds very well to EQ thanks to it having a high level of technical performance. The sub bass digs super deep and beats many more expensive over ear planar sets I’ve tried.
Thank you for the all detailed honest technical reviews . Which iem you advise to buy F1 pro or Hidizs mp145 ? For someone who loves both Bass and Details.
I think the F1 Pro compares closest with the ARTTI T10 (another 14.2mm planar; and an affiliate of Shuoer). Both are a bullet design. My T10 fitment is terrific. Really comfortable for long listening sessions. I also own the MP145 (14.5mm planar)...which is quite large but also fits me well. Both the F1 Pro and MP145 have annodized ALU housings...which is more premium than the T10 (quality) plastic housing. ARTTI T10 is priced under US$60...so it is the best price/performance out there. However, the F1 Pro build is clearly more premium and priced competitively. My favorite...the MP145 by a photo-finish against the T10. Each are superior to both my S12 (14.8mm, a little bright/harsh, but easily EQ'd) and the KZ PR1 (HiFi). The F1 Pro seems to have a very similar tune to the T10...very close. Good bass...a "DD-like" tune with planar details and speed of attack. Whatever you go with...F1 Pro/T10 or MP145...it's a winner.
This is a very nice review. I'm looking for a travel pair of items only for my rog Ally and Nintendo switch. I have other IEMs in my arsenal but I don't want to put 3.5 cables on them. Do you think these would be good or should I just buy some cheap KZs?
Have you considered KZ AZ09 Pro / CCA BTX or even KZ AZ20; each have a low latency mode (3 successive clicks to RIGHT earhook button). The first two are BT5.2, the later BT 5.3. All have AptX codec, the later offers AptX HD/LL and snapdragon sound tech. Paired with a nice IEM (e.g. ARTTI T10 planar)...pretty good for gaming imho.
Hi, I wanted your advice on powering the Smsl DAC. Su 1, when I use the optical input, is 5 volt 1 ma or 5 volt 550 ma better? Thanks and congratulations for the channel. Good boy.

would really like to know opinions and advice on how they compare to s12pro and Kefine Klanar in interms of technicalities and overall before buying 🙏

Interesting option but I just got Kefine when they were reduced on hifigo. I like that they are the size of average DD.
May have to pick this one up. Do you think I'll be able to see the l and r on the IEMs? :)
lol. If you look very closely
Does it really matter for IEMS with that nozzle style?
@@rahulmenon4357 It was a blind joke from a blind guy. :)

Can’t say what sound signature you might like. If you just want decent IEMs for cheap, then anything will theoretically work.

Thank you for posting.
Does this improve your driving skills?
Only on max volume

The more current, mA, the power supply provides the better.
have you tired the Tinhifi P1 Max?
Yes. It’s nothing special
