I'm a relatively big dude, and I use super small spinfit w1s with the monarch mk3s. If the hype4s have a similar nozzle, no wonder they didn't fit Bri. The shells don't even fit my wife's ears, so no way we even cared about the nozzle. Since Bri likes bright signatures, try the Arya Organic with +3db boost bass shelf at 166hz (edit:never mind, you mentioned it almost at the end)
Some of my test tracks that you might find interesting are:
Vocal-focused:
Philip Glass, feat. Anna von Raison & AVR: Etude No.2 Reworked
KiNK & Rachel Row: Time (Acapella)
Kalandra: Helvegen
Recoil: Want
Wild cards:
Leo Rojas: El Condor Pasa
Marcus Miller: Trip Trap
Klaus Schulze: In the Dimness of Light
Oxidaksi: Poison Turtle
Barbatuques: Barbapapa's Groove
The iBasso DC Elite definitely seems interesting, so this also gave me some pointers since I have been looking for a slightly smaller dongle without a battery to use when the Mojo 2 is too much to carry around.
Thank you for the tracks. I'm always searching for new stuff (and for Bri of course as well). Yeah, the DC Elite is more convenient than the Mojo2. It is still hefty however. I love it though!
Your sister is super cool 😎 slowly narrowing it down to the favourite iem. ❤
Sister?? Glad you are enjoying watching the journey!
@@Skeeb23 wait what?…oh oh i think ive made a mistake.
People do say we look a like 😂
@@BeefyBri23 ohmyyyy Bri! Im laying on the floor defeated with embarrassment
@@Cp48533 no worries :) it happens!
I had a feeling Bri would find the Hype 4 to be too bulbous. That's why I suggested the Cincotres instead. Pretty much the same sound signature but much easier to fit.
Still on the list of we can get one.
If you tried Bathys, please also try the new Focal Azurys. It is cheaper than Bathys, more beautiful than Bathys. I haven't heard yet, but based on 2 reviews right now, should also sound better than Bathys.
Yes! I want to check out both new models.
As far as tips go try Final Type E, DUNU S&S, AZLA XELATEC, and JVC Spiral Dot. Hisenior MEGA5-EST might be an IEM to try.
