Great content. Looking forward to hear your reviews on nightjar singularity (very good bass too) and symphonium crimson.

Hi Mark, excellent review as always. I am planning to buy a single DD. Moondrop kato & fiio FD5 in my list, can you please suggest ? Thanks

Hi there, great review. I just wonder that scoop at 10k affects female vocal and piano? Also Im currently holding a pair of U4s, is it worth it for the upgrade when my primary musical genre is jazz? Thanks!

Great review! Going to have to try these out at CanJam with you!

Looking forward to the Moondrop Para review!

I heard these and canjam Dallas an loved them with the m20 modules. My hearing ends at 16k, so that upper treble peak doesn’t affect my listening.

Thanks for your review! How does this compare to the Trio? I loved demoing the Trio and am considering it as an endgame. Am a bit of a basshead and loved the bass, along with the spicy treble of the Trio. Given that the Trios are getting quite old now does the volur make the trio obsolete? Keep up the good content!

It's been literally years since I heard the Trio so I don't really trust my own impressions, but from memory the Trio tuning is more my style. Vs. U4s, the Volur is significantly more incisive and well-defined, U4s is not strongest there.

How are you doing that top down shot ? And alsonthe dual filiming? Quite curious as i want to do something similar for a video call. Also are you using a light ?

Two ways: (1) You can use the pin icon on the active graphs UI to pin one before clicking the second. (2) On a computer, you can middle-click to append a second target rather than replace the existing one.

Hey there again. In terms of the dual drivers (facing each other)... i think it makes a lot of sense in a structure such as an IEM because it's a rather neat way of fitting a larger effective combined speaker area into a smaller volumetric space. But not only that, you can also then make the shape of the dual drivers assembly fit better into the shape of an iem, and leave more space left over for better sound ducting in the remaining spaces. So yes - i believe this could be a useful engineering solution to advance what can be done, in a fixed size space. That would otherwise be physically impossible to "upgrade" or "iterate" or improve any more. But you know... there are probably also a variety of other types of small and incremental innovations which might also help too. So not to lean too heavily onto any 1 single technology as being that transformative by itself. You still need to execute well and correctly on what you have got to work with. So the technology decision is more like a platform or base / starting point. From which to make subsequent decisions and build improvements upon. On top of. Wheras a very poorly executed version of the same fundamental design choice may very well sound absolutely terrible. And much worse than some conventional single driver that was of a much higher quality. As to how much / how little impact it makes. I really cannot tell you. But clearly the more space constrained an IEM shape is, then the less physical room there is to work with to begin with. Meaning the possibility of a greater potential to sound different given the same exact external dimensions / shell housing. So you may infer into that what you will. Especially in terms of other factors, like the firment / comfort or stability and comfort while sleeping or whatever "fit security" i guess

Yeah I don't really understand it, something about the two drivers moving the same air volume allows them to operate at reduced power and thus reduced distortion, yaddy-yadda. I think the bass on this, Blessing 3, and even Solis 2 are quite good, and all advertise isobaric designs. The Hype 2 bass is fun, but doesn't have the same tightness despite also advertising the same design.

Isobaric configurations don’t affect cone area; the first driver is completely isolated and no sound will be heard from it. You have an enclosure divided into two unequally sized chambers (or one if the drivers are mounted cone to cone). With one driver in the first, and largest enclosure firing into the 2nd smaller enclosure which the driver you see and hear is mounted in. Both drivers move together. This way they work together, the first driver is doing nothing but making it easier for the 2nd to do its job as the air in the smaller enclosure (that the driver you hear is mounted in) isn’t constantly being pressurized and depressurized like in a normal single driver enclosure; the air volume and pressure is nearly constant. In a normal configuration pressure builds the farther the cone travels forwards and backwards from the resting position (when it moves forwards/backwards from resting the internal air volume of the enclosure increases/decreases by an amount equal to cone area multiplied by distance of travel, without changing the amount of air inside the enclosure) which stretches/compresses the air inside the enclosure; the farther the cone moves outwards the more the air inside the enclosure is stretched and the more resistance there is to the cone’s continued outwards movement. The farther the cone moves inwards the more the air is compressed etc. By using an isobaric configuration you are nearly eliminating the resistance of the air inside the enclosure to the cone’s movement meaning it will move in a more linear manner. Obviously this doesn’t eliminate that entirely as those forces still apply to the first, and completely sealed off, driver but it nearly does if designed properly for the drivers used. But in an IEM they’re probably using a cone-to-cone configuration given that it takes up less space. One driver mounted in an enclosure like normal with the 2nd driver mounted pretty much directly to it with their cones facing each other (speakers don’t have fronts or backs. It’s just not very practical to mount a speaker into a cabinet with the magnets on the outside). *Edit: that only applies to lower frequencies. If it’s a very closed-in basket or are playing higher frequencies enough this becomes not so true.* This way one voiced coil/magnet is pushing while the other is pulling. Just like having a speaker with a magnet/coil mounted on both sides of the cone working together. 2 motors rather than 1.

Squig looks like a warm tilted tangzu heyday.

W1's are the absolute best w/ 64 Audio IEMs. $$$! though.

Its a shame you're only getting the esoteric stuff of the TOTL world. Effectively IEMs for people that have way too large of a collection that they dont use as a result of purchase validation addiction. This is the reason most very expensive iems are tuned so poorly, its for people that have compulsive order to spend, the more esoteric it is, the more they can spend to get them all.

@Viewer13128

He reviews much more IEMs from lower price brackets (or am I misunderstanding you?). Anyway, because the "esoteric" stuff of the TOTL world is so expensive, consumers require reviewers to review those expensive products to help the consumers who don't have a "compulsive order to spend" so they won't buy a weird product. The only issue is when reviewers "pretend" the expensive product is good, and "avoid" saying any critiques, then those are unethical reviews.
