Fantastic review as usual Leonard, they look fantastic!

Amazing review Leo! Enjoy this DAP my friend

Sorry for the late reply. @juwa the R8II as a USB DAC supports up to PCM768 and DSD1024 (via native DSD signalling, not DoP). Hope that helps!

This review is totally wrong. I'm afraid you confused the headphones sound with your personal taste.

Kwsizer maybe you like this headphone soo much that you doesn't want anyone to say something negative about your choice even if it's true. This headphone have Pro in it's name and it's far from it. If someone knows how to read frequently chart which you probably didn't, they'll know how far it is from being neutral. I've better reference headphones in my collection and it's far from them.

It's rather silly to judge and then slam a hp only because they have the "pro" word in their name. Deal with it.

@0genesis0o,
Here is the surprising thing.......I would have never thought this is so good, as to why I said in the Discovery Thread that is better than some DAPs. I am the last person to ever think a lower powered Dongle could be that great, but the clarity in the top-end got to me.........so much that I had all kinds of other stuff to use, but I stuck with this OS133 Dongle. Maybe it is the OS133 cable material that is bringing the resolution about, I would guess no one does this. I would like to learn if OS133 X2 is used with any other Dongles, or if not what style of cable are they using, maybe it is simply the chip? idk....?

Does it work with an Honor X9b?

@REXNFX,
Sorry never heard that one?

Cheers!

Ohh, it's been quite a while since I tested this combo. Difficult to compare now, I think that the Oor is not as refined and silky while I could say that it is drier and more sterile than the Mentor. Take this with a grain of salt though.

Thanks!
As far as you can remember, in terms of technical aspects (transparency, details, etc.)
Are they at the same level?
Love your reviews!

I believe that they are on the same level but have a different approach. The Oor has the tendency to highlight its technical performance while the Mentor has it on the background to serve the music.

Good review bro. How come plutus beast gets extra half star, even with a darker treble on it?

@Tamizhan thanks for your kind words bro. Sorry i was not very active on Head-Fi lately. Well, Plutus Beast is significantly cheaper so considering that price point i rated it hehe.

Unfortunately, those tips don't work for everyone. I just tried every size in Black and Orange and could not get a seal. My iem (Quattro) sounded anemic and holo.

Reads like Penon ad/inventory compilation.
The question to HeadFi moderators/officials - where would be the boundary between "reviewers" and obvious (if not blatant) mass advertisrers? Why would not these advertisers be identified as "members of the trade" (or mass reviewers) to minimize deceit and confusion to less experienced members of the community.
I learned my lessons hard way with my money, so I really wish it would be easier for new Head-Fiers.

$9.90 always better than $99.90 - though soon I'm sure that will be reality the way canfi and IEMfi is going.

ill be real at nyc it just sounded really boring and for 6 k not including the cable thats ridiculous and um should be ashamed for putting it out there with a straight face same witht their 2k for no reason cable they pair with this, id much rather get the official release of the storm then this thing if im paying that kinda money

It's a Red but 3.5k more
Mentor remains king of UM line

Would be very interesting if you could compare it to Mentor too, its the same BCD driver and more balanced approach to the sound than Amber Pearl, still being a mids monster.

Hard agree! I'm currently enjoying the EW200 much more than the 500LM. Great treble and less recessed mids. Just an overall warmer sound which is my preference. Still has that Simgot house sound.

Yep. I'd give the EA500 LM four stars because the technicalities it offers are outstanding for less than 100 bucks. But that doesn't mean I enjoyed the sound signature all that much once the "holy crap" factor of the energetic tuning wore off.

Different strokes ...

Great technical set but cold and uninviting for me. Much prefer the original EA500. Spot on review

What's your baseline reference for bass?
They look gorgeous

Most current baseline consists of TOTL planars like Susvara/Elites. But I've heard most of the prior top basshead IEMs such as FatFreq Maestro and EE EVO (probably my favorite for bass). FW beats out Aroma's other flagship the Jewel for more fun bass, and beats out all BA bass IMO. Can't speak as much to some of the newer IEMs.

It's just interesting to see it described as thunderous with a lower dB shelf than the RN6 (I also own the EVO, sold the LX, and just toured the Scarlet) people have wide variance/tolerance for bass so it's good to see what its relative to.

Could you precise the exact dimensions of the K?I can't find them (even on the FB page) Thanks a lot

@joydivisionnewdawnfades 86mmx52mmx18mm (written on the product description).

Thank you @F700 ! Sorry ,i might buy new glasses instead of Calyx M

Thanks for your answer

This transportable unit would be perfect for the office executive that travels and wants the best. Or, it can double as a desktop that doesn't take up a lot of space. Perhaps iFi Audio could one day come up with a phone/computer app. that adds X-Bass or X-Space digitally (sacrilege, I know.) I would take something like this to a meet or an audio show to test headphones. And I believe one could use this as a stand alone DAC/PreAmp? It might be $100 too expensive but it may go on sale around XMAS time.

All the scenarios you describe are doable with the Diablo 2. I don't care about XBass and XSpace but I would like if I could fiddle with digital filters.
