Letshuoer (Shuoer) - Mystic 8

Tried it, not impressed

As a vocalhead I sold my top pro after a week so I'm surprised you kept it. The timbre on both male and female vocals both sound wrong. Male vocals are way too thin and lack body to them. Female vocals sound especially sizzly and hot, easily running into sibilant territory and possessing especially overbearing metallic ba timbre. It's a shame because top pro is amazing for everything else, instruments sound great, techs can trade blows with kilobuck units like my mystic 8. It just doesn't work for my heavily vocal-centric library. And believe me I really tried to make it work, rolled my entire collection of over 40 types of eartips.

Yup arcanis is absolutely fantastic and top tier for vocals. It's my daily on the go iem. It lays bare every vocal inflection, technique and detail so beautifully with the lip-smacking end-consonant bite that's simply on another level. Mystic 8 is the purest, cleanest and ethereal female vocals but arcanis is the most nuanced and revealing. These 2 are absolutely goated for vocals in their own unique way. Something like the tanchjim origin is what many call vocal magic but I find that it overly smoothes over vocals, hiding any 'flaws' and sweetens voices to a slightly unnatural extent.

i also felt like the hexa sounded like a blob and i had to get rid of it because it felt like i had hearing loss but when i used the mystic 8 which graphs extremely similarly it easily has the best seperation and micro contrast of the ones ive heard

There are way better vocal sets, like mystic 8

You are not impressed by the vocals of mystic 8?

If you ask me, my best purchases: - Aoshida e20, Quintet(not on the list, since i gave it away), Pilgrims, Shozy p20, HBB Punch and the Mystic 8(not in the list since its New and im testing). It covers most needs, and it's 1 set of each kind. Missing a Bone conductor but still indecisive of which one.
