IEMs (In-Ear Monitors)

[Grim5]

I always thought IEMs were joke until I got a pair of IEMs and realised it produces better sound than any headphones I've ever owned

Good choice, I have the oracle MK3 and they're brilliant.

They are even better with a decent DAC.

I liked them but not enough to keep them.

Heads up to others. The truthear ear Crinacle reds are 44 quid on amazon.

Nice. I recommend adding on the 3 year gadget insurance through amazon. I did it with my Dusks for peace of mind.

What other IEMs do you have...

[aardvark]

New reds just arrived. Listening to them for the first time right now. Initial impressions are positive.

Nice. How are you finding the sound signature. And is the bass noticeably better that the Zero 2?

That's a bummer!

They seem to be a bit more bass heavy. I use Soundsource on macOS for my EQ and the rock preset sounds pretty good to me. Having said that I haven't really sat down for a proper listening session just yet.

Come on dude. If this was @mrk he'd postpone a triple heart bypass if it got in the way of an A-B testing listening session!

I have to say they are great. I'm using the Rock EQ preset in Soundsource on macOS with the FiiO KA3 DAC listening to lossless music on Apple Music.

The bass is pleasant and it feels really nice in metal in particular. Haven't really listened to much classical or baroque but they should be fine for that as well I'd guess.

ordered a bunch of different tips from aliexpress to try. If i can't get get better bass i will just have to send the supermix back - maybe IEM's are not for me

Glad you like them
