Great video! Do you have the Meze Alba coming up for review? I wonder how these would compare.

Thanks for the detailed review. What do you think? Will fiio pair this one up with a ba driver? Or is it not really needed. I'm not a fan of raised treble but I like when it's extended especially for horns and cymbals...

I don't think it's a matter of drivers, if they wanted, they could've add more treble with this DD. IMO it was an intended change

Sorry, I'm not a good advisor here, as I'm not a basshead :) I really like FiiO/Jade JD7, they have a good punch, but they aren't "basshead" as they don't exaggerate lows much. Also, ikko OH10 delivers a great lows to my taste

Basshead here. My favorite basshead for thick, deep well balanced low frequency with tons of rumble and slam is KBear ROSEFINCH. The most quantity and quality I've come across without terribly sacrificing the rest of the frequencies and keeping a warm sound. Recommend cable change. One of the rare IEMS that I noticed improvement with new cable. Easy to drive but amp will take you to heaven. These are all fun with varying shades brighter than RF: Castor Bass-cleaner but at the sacrifice of subbass. Bass is fun but not as full and leaner than RF. Needs power or else it sounds like crap. AK6 Pro - got mine for $2.50 and it's shockingly good. More balanced sounding than the graph w/Midbass focus. Cover the vent for more subbass. EDX Pro og - still a great basshead set that leans bright. A filter will bring out the mids and add some clarity but I don't think it's needed. Unless you just want the looks of DELCI and Fudu, skip the. They are good but not basshead sets and the same sound can be had with ultra budget sets. Fudu is a 1/1, significantly better than Delci and comes with premium tips. I got mine on sale for $45, which is a steel if you want the accessories package but I don't need that so it was returned with Delci. ORCA, DQ6S (on sale) and z300 are good alternatives to those 2 sets, as well as EDX Lite/Ultra/ProX, EDC Pro, EDA balanced or bass (trio goes on sale for $10-13), ZVX, SGOR Venus/Adonis and ND Audio Venus. And that's just naming a few sets as good or better than Delci. ORCA runs circles around it and it's easy to paint 😉

Btw, SGOR is a silent division of KZ and looking at ND's products and inventory I'm willing to vet they are too. ND Audio Venus looks looks like a slightly returned SGOR Venus in a plastic shell. EDX Lite, EDC Pro and KZ X AE Libra all have nearly the same graph which is nearly the same as Delci. I have EDC Pro $5 otw to see if it sounds any different than Lite $2. EDX Pro X $3.50, is more detailed than Lite due to slightly higher mids.

@@someoneusa I loved ESX and the (OG) DQ6. DQ6 becomes a bass monster on EQing, not sure how but that is the only IEM that I keep at lower bass levels (comparatively) because it gives jaw-rattling levels of crazy bass when EQed using a good power source. I'm looking for a direct upgrade to DQ6, as it is a bit uncomfortable...

@@dhanursehgal2343 Try KB Rosefinch, they go sale for $9-10, Excellent driver tht takes well to EQ though doesn't need it for bass. If you want a 1/1 SGOR Adonis goes on sale for $12-13, would eq/mod for extra bass. Sound and details are crystal clear. I have DQ6S modded. I think it has less bass than DQ6. Same driver so I'll add some EQ next time I use it. I find them comfortable with the right tips. I have to position them at a weird angle, then they fit flush with the ear. Took some experimenting.

Hi great review... Please recommend me the best dd iem for male vocals. Most of the stuff i hear sound thin and intangible for male vocals. I need thickness with good definition.

Unfortunately, "thickness" and "definition" is a kind of opposite things, so it's a matter of how much thickness you prefer. For example for me, this exact model hits a perfect spot, but it's still a matter of taste

@@PortaFi My taste was the Moondrop Kato which had the best balance for me in terms of thick noteweight and definition but ultimately I still felt I need more definition. With the fd15 I liked it's definition and natural sound but I wanted more note thickness for male vocals. What would be the next step up from a Kato or a fd15? Ultimately I believe I need a better driver for more performance.

@@nabilchoudhury7359 actually, if neutral and micro-contrast focused KAto wasn't enough for you in terms of definition, unlikely FD15 will be a good choice. Maybe you need to try some hybrids or planars?
