I’ve just got the Moondrop Venus and it’s great.

However I do hear sibilance when it comes to certain female vocals in particular. I especially hear alot of sibilance when listening to Aimer’s songs. (love her songs btw!)

My source is Spotify running out of Fiio K9pro ESS or Fiio BTR7.

Any other Venus users facing this and any idea if changing pads or cables light reduce the sibilance?

Thank you!

    Heya thanks ya’ll for the comments and suggestions. I tried out my ancient pair of Etymotic ER-4s(the red and blue one) on the same songs and also hear some sibilance too.

    I’ll try EQ-ing.(theres a first time for everything right!) I also have the Moondrop XLR cable on the way from the online shop, will share if it makes any difference.

    Update: interestingly when I used the 3.5mm copper cable with 6.35mm plug, the sibilance is less. I’m using the same k9pro Ess on high gain. Previously I was using only the 4.4mm SPC cable provided.
