I own the Nothingear (2024) without a proper eq, sound profile.. the thing sounds like flat peaky horseshit. You got into IEMs not knowing the different tunings each IEM offers... To be fair a fair share of people do.
My first iem was the Hexa, I hated the thing.. then I eq'ed it, and I enjoyed it till the right ear died.
If you want more "balanced"
There is stuff like the Wan'er Red Lion that offers a warmer sound w/ a bass boost, and nice smooth treble, but I'm only using that as a example.
Cause there is psychotic sets like the Kbear Rosefinch that offers huge bass, and there nothing wrong with that, and there sets like the CCA Phoenix that offers loads of treble. This hobby is full on subjective on what people like, and what they hear.
If you still want to try it, you just have to do a lot more research on what you really want.
No cca UNTIL THEY F ING FIX THE QC ISSUES.... I BOUGHT MINE IN DECEMBER AND BY JAN I END UP EXCHANGED MINE FOR 3 TIMES..... 3 F ING TIMES WITHIN 2 MONTHS... so yeah no cca.... if want something similar to cca phoenix go chu 2
I think it's something in the drivers that makes it hard to do treble right. It's either not there and there's not enough airiness or it's super bright and sibilant. And if you think about budget sets that have brightness we have Hexa, CCA Phoenix, Moondrop LAN 2 Reference, 7hz G1 (trash btw), et etc etc.
They're shouty and sibilant. It's not like...let's say...Softears Studio 4, etc which is done really well.
Ultimately that's the one area that cheap iems don't know how to nail down. They don't know how to nail smooth and airy but full vocals at the same time. That's basically not something it can do. You only see that at higher tiers.
Lol, no — sorry. That one really isn’t for me. It’s way too bright to my ears. No offense to you at all, just being honest.
I shit on the CCA Phoenix every day, and this is right in that territory.
Please don’t compare it to the Xenn Tops Pro — that’s honestly laughable.
This is bright shit.
