    The GizAudio x Binary Acoustics Chopin has a unique shell design and quad hybrid driver configuration but does it sound any good? How does it compare to the Tanchjim Kara and JQ 4U Pro?

    I'm glad you confirmed the BA timbre. I heard it at Canjam when it was first premiering. Most songs I listened to had BA timbre but it was only about a 15 minute listening session. Then none of the reviews except Vortex Reviews had any mention of the timbre. I can always rely on you and Vortex.

      Chopin is solid performer with that slight BA timbre and slight thin note weight.

    The nozzle length is my main reason I didn't buy it. I have a harder time with getting a good fit with long nozzles

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Před 4 měsíci

      I understand. I tend to prefer longer nozzles as shorter nozzles don't fit and seal. Also I prefer a little bit of a wing or ergonomic fit; smooth, flat backs tend to cause issues. We all have different ear shapes.

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Před 4 měsíci +3

      Blessing 3 is better performer in my opinion. I recommend using at least a DAC/Amp dongle unless your PC has a really good soundcard and amplifier.

      Chopin has more bass presence, especially in the sub bass. Mids are similar. Treble is more extended and better controlled on Chopin. Details and resolution are slightly better on Chopin. Tone and timbre are similar, Chopin maybe a slight edge.

    How does it compare to the CKLVX? I'm planning to get an upgrade for the hexa for around 200 dollars, I like neutral sets and mainly use iems for gaming, music and media, as of now, I'm considering the cklvx and the chopin but can't decide which one to pick up. Any suggestions?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Před 2 měsíci +1

      D41 has a more balanced, musical presentation. The Chopin has thinner note weight and a slight bass tuck. The D41 has a slight edge in detail retrieval and resolution. Staging is similar but the D41 has a little deeper depth.

    You need to listen to the Pula PA02, sounds phenomenal and almost the same price tag, haven't heard the Chopin but the Pula PA02 beats all of the others sets I own: Katos, S12, Hexa, Dusk, IE200, FUDU Verse 1 and it's ridiculously easy to drive even with the Sony A306 caped version, they have almost the same EQ graph of Xenns Top.

    Morning sir. I have heard that there is a rule called 1/8 which means that your output power source to work correctly with your headset should have 1/8 of the impedance of the headsets,is this right? What do you think? Thanks

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Před 4 měsíci +1

      That's what a lot of people claim.
      To be honest, I don't pay attention much to the numbers. What matters the most of if it sounds good or not. But output impedance and power can alter sound for sure so it should be considered to some degree.

    • @juanblanco7898
      @juanblanco7898 Před 4 měsíci +2

      That's right. Otherwise the frequency response the head/earphones can change noticably, though not necessarily dramatically, in an unpredictable way. Well, practically unpredictable, unless you have an impedance/frequency graph of the head/earphones in questions, which is not a common thing to say the least, in contrast to amplitude/frequency response graphs which are pretty much ubiquitous these days.

    Hi there, how does the Chopin compare to the performer 5 in your opinion?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Před měsícem

      I've not heard the Chopin since I reviewed it and the P5 was sold about a year ago so I don't recall much of either. Going off memory the Chopin is slightly more detailed and resolving and has more natural tone and timbre.

      Kato is more neutral leaning presentation, has fuller note weight, more accurate tone and timbre, less bass impact and doesn't have the forward, sparkle and energy in the upper mids and lower treble. Chopin has a more engaging, fun sound and the Kato is more neutral and natural.
