Thanks for the review❤ I am new to IEM world, can't decide whether getting the Sl41 or MP145 (or s12 2024), what are the muskc genres "listen better" respectively for the 2 models?

I have small ears and they Fit real comfortable. Can wear them for hours on end. No hotspots and good seal. They don't like wind though, so when outside and windy = NoNo.

Great review Dave. Thanks. I own a set of SL41 and upgraded the cable to Hakugei Soaring Dragon. They are very sensitive and respond super to this upgrade. A lot of the negatives you mentioned are gone and they play at a whole different level. I prefer them with Devinus Velvet Wide Bore tips and Penon Laquer Orange. They scale beautifully from my Hiby R4 to my Mytel Brooklyn DAC plus. Worth every penny. ❤

They reminder a whole lot of my Adam A8x. These are great studio monitors. If your collection has a lot of bad recordings you don't want the SL41 as they are quite revealing. Great bang for evey buck!!! ❤ them to bits.

Thanks for the very good and detailed review, however, you are the first person that described D41 and PA02 as different sounding iems while most other reviewers/ppl figured those two sets are identical sound and build wise (only with difference faceplates). Maybe the different eartips/cable/source made differences?

whats a great set for under $180 for a holographic and large soundstage? details arent a must, but separation and imaging should be factor. would appreciate any input

The Tanchjim Kara has a stage that is immersive, deep and layered. A lot of these aspects are also impacted by the source, ie USB-C dongle, being used and the music being played. I find that the Tanchjim Kara does a really good job in soundstage with classical and jazz music. There are a lot of good options available.

I agree with your review! Though I have the SL41 MK1, we share mostly the same perspectives on the iem. The difference between the MK1 and MK2 is that the MK2 has more 5k and 7k energy, about +3 dB. Everything else is the same. I find that all the stock tips don't work well with the D41 and SL41. They close in the sound stage and mess up the separation. I find that any Convex Wide Bore Ear Tips will work best with the D41 and SL41, like the Divinus Velvet Wide Version and JVC Spiral Dot++. One thing you didn't mention, that I would like your opinion on, is how unforgiving the SL41 MK2 is with low-quality tracks. I believe that this iem is very unforgiving. Anything that is mastered poorly or of a low-quality recording will sound metallic or congested. Regardless, I also believe that this iem is technicalities over musicality. It is great.

I like these okay with the cp100 eartips from spinfit. I did want something more exciting than the D41, and these fit the bill, but i felt the vocals were outshining the instruments. The spinfit tips scoot the vocals back, which seems to enhance the bass and treble energy a little more, but I can't say the SL41 lives up to the greater tonal balance and micro detail retrieval of the Hype 4. Since they're aren't as smooth in the lower treble, I do find that i enjoy the Sliivo more than the Studio4-- funny how similarly tuned they are. Maybe those spiral dot ++ eartips will bring even more balance, but i do like the Sliivo so far.
