KINERA IDUN REVIEW
June 27, 2018 Comments Off on KINERA IDUN REVIEW
“Congratulations to Kinera for putting up this kind of a development with this IEM after their first hybrid model, H3. They addressed every complaint in terms of overall balance of the spectrum, and overall control. This is more like it now. A great sub 200 IEM that shines with many genres with a great bass response and clarity on mids, as well as well accentuated treble response. Some things are still there like the slight lack of midbass, and a little bit thin lower treble region. But these I think could easily be tolerated for what this IEM puts on the table.”

“You are talking as much as a +12-18dB difference between the low-end up to 200Hz and a rather more linear curve for the official chart. The remainder of the response curve is largely unaffected beyond 2k for both charts. However, the black filter upper mids curve will seem more pronounced due to the heavier dip from the mid-bass down into the lower mids. I can only assume the relatively mild u-shape and slightly forward upper mids and lower treble of the official chart is without any filter at all.”
JH AUDIO LAYLA SIGNATURE DESIGN REVIEW

“The Unique Melody Mason V3 is much closer to the Layla for amping and volume requirements. The Mason V3 is rated at 24Ω and 104dB and in theory, should be much less sensitive. I would say that gap is not that big for volume matching off most DAPs I tested. Sources such as the Granbeat, DX150, AK240, AK380, and R6 all had around a 2-3dB adjustment between the two. As an example, on the DX150, both the Layla and Mason V3 sat comfortably at 100 and 105 on low gain compared to 80 low gain for the VE8 and 85 low gain for the A18.”
HIFIMAN RE-800 IN EAR MONITORS $699 REVIEW
May 22, 2018 Comments Off on HIFIMAN RE-800 IN EAR MONITORS $699 REVIEW
“My only issue with the design was getting a good fit. None of the provided eartips gave me a perfect fit. I like my IEMs to seal completely and tightly in the ear canal, providing lots of ambient noise isolation. All the eartips provided with the RE-800s were too wide at the tip and too narrow at the back to give me a good seal. But of course this is different for every person. I’d probably end up investing in custom molded eartips. But of course every listener will have to try them out to be sure. A side effect of the fit issue and the weight of the RE-800s is that they didn’t want to stay put when moving around. If the fit was tighter in the ear canal, I bet this would not be an issue.”

ACOUSTUNE HS1551 REVIEW

“But have they achieved their goal? We will soon find out but give them credit, they tried something different haven’t they? Take Saegusa is their director of development and I was in contact with him all the time. Take-san is very responsive and communicative, and working together with him was very easy and smooth. I wish the best for our Japanese friends there.
RHA MA750 WIRELESS $169 REVIEW

“First, the tips. Slip on the foam tips and you will get a better seal, a smoother treble response, and more low-end impact. Second, check your source. Those without aptX might find the sound a little lacking in dynamic range and impact whereas those with aptX signals will get a more dynamic performance. Finally, check your source. They do not all deliver the same level of performance or tonality.”
