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.
Danny is AWSM 😁 I subscribed a while back and highly recommend.
Just want to say thank you for what you do!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing. Glad you enjoy the channel content.
Dave said I rock! 😭
Chopin might be my favorite Harman iteration but it does come with the same drawbacks. Another Honest review.
Chopin is solid performer with that slight BA timbre and slight thin note weight.
You do rock! Sunny 🐯 does to!
I concur, You rock Danny!
These or the Quintet?
For me, Chopin easily. Tho I think both are good just Quintet very unnatural.
I'd lean Chopin as it has just a bit better tone and timbre.
This is still on my list of to check out sets lol
I saw it described elsewhere as a more affordable Variations...didn't think so.
Timmy likes his mid-bass clean so this all checks out.
Indeed 👍
I'm aware there's a huge gap in price between these two but..
How does the Chopin compare to the Hype 4? Both in terms of tonality and technicalities (especially resolution).
Hype 4 is a big upgrade with resolution, tone and timbre.
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
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.
Hello sir, I’m seeking your advice in deciding between the Chopin,blessing 3 . And do I need a Dac for it? Using it on pc
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.
Great review as always Dave. This set is not for me though. I am very sensitive to BA timbre. I don’t tolerate it very well.
I totally understand.
thank you the review. i was deciding on which to buy, chopin or simgot ea1000. appreciate if you can share your opinion on these 2 iems. TIA
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.
@@TheHonestAudiophile thanks. this is very helpful information
My pleasure, you're welcome.
Good morning Dave listening on my way into work. Have a great Friday and a glorious weekend. Take care.
Be safe my friend. Have an enjoyable weekend.
Hi Dave, I just orederd Xenns mangird top. How do they compare to gizaudio Chopin?
Top is a significant step up to the Chopin with tone, timbre, details, resolution.
Hmmm, this sounds like it's a step down from the DUNU Titan S even :O
It's a more fun, bassy version of the Titan S.
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?
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.
@@TheHonestAudiophile what's an upgrade to the hexa then? and which has less bass but still great
Neither have less bass. I prefer the D41.
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.
Thanks for suggestion.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Thanks for the response! OMG my favorite reviewer answered me!
One day I'm getting the Xenns Top, I know you're not in TWS but you should try the Denon Perl Pro if you get the chance... What an audio experience for me.
Look forward to hearing your impressions on the Top. Thanks for another suggestion. Glad you enjoy the channel content.
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
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.
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?
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.
nice review! how do chopin compare against kato?
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.
@@TheHonestAudiophile thanks for the response sir! I'll just skip chopin LOL
How would you compare this to the Nova? Great vid ❤
Truthear Nova in for review along with 30 plus other products.
I just tried Simgot EW200 for 5 mins and got fatigued in 5 mins. Just not for me. Tone and timbre are off, thin note weight, mid bass and upper bass are lean, average soundstage, too boosted uppermids/lower treble. THA's explanation of it in his review was accurate
Thanks for the impressions. Sorry the EW200 didn't work out for you.
which one would you prefer for classical music: gizaudio chopin or kiwi ears quintet?
I'd lean Chopin as it has just a little more extension in the uppers. But the Orchestra Lite would be my pick for classical music.
@@TheHonestAudiophile thank you.
@fredherrlich my pleasure, you're welcome
@@TheHonestAudiophilefinally got the orchestra lite and i enjoy every bit of its sounds. i thank you again.
@fredherrlich glad you enjoy the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite
Unicorn 🦄 for everyone
chopin vs simgot 500lm?
Simgot EA500LM review coming in the near future
Thanks for the review. There is not much talk about this iem.
Thanks for watching.
