Hi Jordan! Great review, just curious what snek you got on the oracle there, it pairs beautifully aesthetically.

Actually i forgot to mention abt Top. Both share very similar approach. Maybe O3 has slightly cleaner bass, and less aggressive treble. But tuning wise, they are on the same route.

Nice review! Which is better for kpop/jpop, simgot em10 or oracle mk3 Or maybe pilgrim

@jordanng5428

7 күн бұрын

Definitely not the em10, bit too boomy and dark for jpop. But if for some kpop, it might work, cuz some kpop tends to need more bass. Pilgrim a good and safe recommendation with plenty of detail. Bit thinner though. Oracle mk3 is fun, smooth and rich sounding. Thicker sound than Pilgrim.Quite versatile too.

I totally forgot to AB with the Top. But o3 has better bass, Top bass might be bit too much sometime (to me) (thats y i use other cable to tame it down). Top has better and forward mids, O3 mids are kind of lackluster. Details wise, both are at the same level, O3 seems handled it more naturally, while Top might be metallic at times. Staging wise O3 is better.

Great review bro. The faceplate is pretty nice. But based on your review, probably pass on this one for me.

Disappointment.I don t understand how manufacturers think sometimes.You have something an iem near perfection and you don t choose to perfect this one but you do something "else" and you maintain the same name.. Strange things

@contrarian2496

Because every brand deliberately add flaws into their non-flagship products to create tier ranges, as a result they get to sell multiple products rather than just 1 perfect product. Manufacturers think top-down, meaning they have a flagship which must be their best product then they would deliberately make worse versions of it to sell as mid tier and low tier. It costs at most a hundred dollars to manufacture any flagship IEM/headphones, so the thousand over dollars price tag is the brand's markup. Audio brands spend more money on marketing rather than R&D, because the difference in most products is just the tuning which they recycle across their entire product range.
