    BONE CONDUCTION IEM Fans thread-Hybrid, Tribrid etc (impressions, suggestions, news)

    Just as an addendum. Open ear bone conduction, aka shokz style bone conductors are not something anyone in this forum should look to for music. I rarely return gear even if I don't like it but these are going back. They just sound terrible, on par with headphones that came with a generic...

    BONE CONDUCTION IEM Fans thread-Hybrid, Tribrid etc (impressions, suggestions, news)

    I'll consider it. I haven't tried a single BA in a while, but I'm feeling more and more sour on BAs in general as the years go by but sometimes surprises are nice. Got my shokz open run pro. Hard pass for sound quality. The idea that these are considered "the best sounding" BC makes me feel...

    Oof, as much as I like new gadgets, pass. Single BA isn't my cup of tea unless it is truly revolutionary. I did order a pair of shokz open run pro though. Those come on Monday and I can't wait to play around with them. I'm not expecting stellar sound quality, but I'm expecting something...

    The conclusion I've reached now is that the low end BCs are definitely offering some tactile sensations and other aspects I cannot pin down as easily, that even large, fast DD's cannot produce. It's an added level of immersion into the music that makes it a little more like listening to good...

    The wind is a much better and cohesive all arounder that you could be hard pressed to identify as anything out of the normal (aka, you might think it just has really good bass extension rather than Knowing there is a BC, since it essentially looks and feels like any other IEM). The plutus beast...

    So, I listened for a few hours last night to the plutus beast and I do enjoy it. OOTB tuning isn't great, so it's probably a pass for those who don't EQ/DSP unless you want a really.... Euphoric and direct sound (stock tuning will be fatiguing for most, but part of that is the bone conductor...

    BONE CONDUCTION IEM Fans thread-Hybrid, Tribrid etc (impressions, suggestions, news)

    Just got my set, burning in as we speak. Listened for a second and the bass is pretty head rattling with the MSEB/EQ settings I've been using on the wind. I don't really have initial impressions of the sound outside of that and that they're very sensitive and much easier to drive than the...

    I didn't realize the kinera celest plutus beast existed. 1 low end BC, 1 ba, 1 mini planar. Blind ordered them. Hard to pass at $90. Anyone tried these? Edit:I see in the thread now.... Sounds like it might be neat but probably inferior to the wind. Guess I'll find out. Variety is the...

    Bright? I don't get bright at all from the wind but then again I'm saying that as a BQEYZ set. My other BQEYZ are all brighter than the wind. You do need to listen loud. The wind seems like it'd be pretty pointless if you listen at lower volumes. I don't pretend to know what reviewers are...

    BONE CONDUCTION IEM Fans thread-Hybrid, Tribrid etc (impressions, suggestions, news)

    I have awakened from a long headfi slumber to join this thread. Blind bought the BQEYZ Wind a few months ago and feel like there is no going back. Is the Bgvp DMA worth it if I have the wind? I might just have to blind buy them since I absolutely love the Wind and am. trying to keep an eye...

    DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******

    Searching this thread and around but so far with no success, but on the latest firmware the 3 physical buttons (last, next,play/pause) have stopped working completely (meaning with the screen on or off). I've ensured the settings are all good and cycled them all on and off (using the physical...

    DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******

    Ok, just getting back in the game here but I'm done with Hiby hardware after all 3 of mine have had major issues. However I still need Hiby music so I can use MSEB. Anyone use Hiby music on here and run that and MSEB without issues?

    Hiby R6 Pro - serious upgrade to popular DAP

    So I give up. I was probably one of the first owners in the US of the R6 Pro, but the damn thing just keeps going down hill. There's so much crackling and popping and interference noise it's ridiculous. The battery is essentially worthless now, I sometimes can't even get consistent power...
