Well I’ve only returned 2, so thank you for letting me know, I won’t be doing that anymore. Though I treat my purchases with the intention of liking them and keeping them. If I treated my purchases as rentals then I wouldn’t have 9 in my collection.

If you’re dissatisfied with a product, why wouldn’t you return it, though? Isn’t that the whole point of the return policy, apart from broken units.

First week like a whole lot, but after not a whole lot lol. I’ve only been in the hobby 9 months. I made the mistake of skipping all the to way to mid-fi. If I could go back, I would’ve gotten several 20$ iems to see which sound signature I like best. Unfortunately, I didn’t do that, so every new iem was almost like a gamble. Now I sort of know what I like and don’t like but it could’ve been so much cheaper.

Now I’m curious, could you tell me the Iems that’s you’ve owned over the years, and which is your favorite? Do you get an all rounder, or one with your prefer sound signature.

That is really really hard question. I guess I just listen to a song, and wonder how it would sound on this particular iem. I only use one Dac/Amp because if I was worried about the amp, I would go down another rabbit hole. My original plan was to get an all rounder, the u12t, then one that did bass really well, another that did mids really well, and another that did treble really well. I know it’s not specific. I probably wouldn’t have so many iems if there was a demo place near me, but unfortunately there isn’t, so I’m more or less buying blind. Obviously, I look at the all the reviews, video or written, to sort of get an idea if I would like it or not. I agree, it’s 100% not practical to own so many, but I don’t know why I haven’t brought myself to sell them on headfi or somewhere like that.

It’s the IE 600. In general I think it has some of the best treble out of my collection. It is extremely aggressive treble, so it gets fatiguing. I still need to find the right tips to get a good seal, with good bass, and lower treble.

I didn’t know this. I always just assumed balanced outputs = better. I’m still a noob when it comes to amps and dacs

It’s the dunu SA mk2 cable, I swapped since that cable has 4.4mm

Wait how so? I wasn’t aware of this

My beloved u12t, the softears rsv, and probably Ej07

1. 64A u12t
2. Softears RSV
3. I’m still in-between the Sennheiser IE600 or Letshuoer Ej07

Letshuoer Ej07

Well this made me feel much better about choosing the xduoo ta-22 over the a90d.

Dogs - Pink Floyd

I can’t enjoy a lot of the early Pink Floyd albums because they’re so terribly mixed.

I got the Softears RSV for less than 600$ at hifigo. Hopefully they don’t disappoint because their return policy sucks. Also the questyle NHB12 for 100$ off on Amazon.

I just sent back mine last week to headphones.com, but they were really good while I had them. I found the bass to be the most satisfying out of any iem I’ve had.
