NiceHCK F1 Pro. Criminally underrated.
I like BOTH the Divine and Diablo tuning. They are DIFFERENT. Those cables are certainly not my cup of tea. They were immediately replaced as soon as I unboxed the sets. I also have the ET142...the versatility (nozzle tuning) of that set puts it in a different spot compared to ALL the others. I have others "older" planar and planar hybrids. The only one that doesn't hold up (to me) is the F1Pro.... especially when compared to the Divine. The issues (for me) of the F1 Pro can be managed with EQ and tip rolling.
I think some folks (me included) get surprised with the quality and amount of bass a planar IEM can bring. Typically people hear planar and they associate the shimmery almost metallic treble. Add-in the fact that most planars are often associated with open back cans...which steers people toward open and bright (thank you HiFiMAN) Truth is planar drivers are EXTREMELY versatile. They take EQ like a champ! I have one planar only set and several planar hybrids. The F1 Pro (NiceNCK) can give me the rumble if I put on a nice bass shelf. The ET142 (Simgot) is a hybrid planar that can get plenty warm with a nozzle change AND a attenuation foam insert. Not quite Explorer level warmth...but warm nonetheless. Am excited to get my hands on the pair of 7Hz x Crinacle collabs that just came out. They both seem right in my sweet spot for the music I listen to
The F1 Pro has that classic bright shimmery planar sound. It's a set that's slips under the radar (IMO) Think as planar (in IEM) matures...the tuning gets smoother
First of all kudos thats a detailed quesrtion,you asked can you show me the the amount of boost you did to tanchim bunny? Also have you used the tanchim app for eq. And apart from these it will also be helpful to see how much mid bass and sub bass you wanted , for eg warm and smooth realaxed iem include(edm, high frequency , rock, is best for this type you have actually done very good research) * LetShuoer S08, its like the balance between planer and dd , * simgot ew300 is vert energentic vshape sound but they have spicy treble * Aftti t10 are like all like the all purpose iem, they have good lower end , good higer end , in dome regard better than nice hck F1 pro especially high end (where did you find the listing i need to buy another). You may dm if you have any question too.
I just purchased the F1 pros - absolutely love them - along with an Nk1 Max. Would love to own the NX8s and a dedicated dac
The NX8 are the most beautiful looking, but the F1 Pro definitely appeal to minimalist looks. In my case I prefer detailed IEMs like the NX8.
NiceHCK F1 Pro and ARTTI T10. Have also tried KZ PRX, Letshuoer S08, and Kiwi Ears Aether.
NiceHCK F1 Pro, ARTTI T10, Aful Explorer, and at just above that range at $159, Meze Alba (I found an open box set for $99).
I think the NiceHCK F1 Pro is great planar IEM. I’ve never heard the S12/S12 Pro, but I believe reviewers have said that F1 Pro’s treble is smoother and less harsh that the treble on the S12 line. At any rate, I haven’t had any issues with the F1 Pro’s treble, and I love its bass presentation and just its overall sound.
I already have and love the F1 Pro, so it would be awesome to have a chance to try out the NX8.
Luckily, I figured that out at 1/10th the cost as I quickly realized that almost everything over $200 ranges from a little on the large side to outright boulder sized. I only have 2 IEMs over $200 (I didn’t pay anywhere near that much for either of them) and I’m not going any further until I can be sure that anything new I get both sounds good to me and is small and comfortable. My current favorite IEMs are the Meze Alba and the NiceHCK F1 Pro because they combine really good sound with great comfort.
Meze Alba, Aful Explorer, NiceHCK F1 Pro.
ARTTI T10 and NiceHCK F1 Pro are both very good budget-friendly planar IEMs. They have a lot of similarities but also some small differences. I have a hard time deciding which I like best. The T10 usually goes for around $56 on Amazon. The price of the F1 Pro bounces around a lot. Its retail price is $100 and it’s currently showing at $80, but it periodically goes on sale for as low as $45.
