That's the Revel F328Be. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/revel-f328be-speaker-review.17443/

Crossing my fingers for a price drop on these sometime soon. I'm too anal to run an EQ over the E3 every time I want to use it, but the $2k price difference is steep.

Sad to report that after trying the E3 and Stealth back to back at Canjam NYC, I still prefer the Stealth. I can't be helped. :facepalm:

Soft objectivist, in that my ears still have the last say at the end of the day. I don't care how well something measures if it doesn't sound good, and I don't care how badly something measures if it still sounds great. There are a bunch of headphones with weird frequency responses that I love...

We have the DACs and amps we dreamed of 15 years ago when we were driving our iPods with altoid tin battery amps, but they're still far from perfect. They've got performance to spare, but the design and featuresets are still severely lacking. Part of the reason Topping and SMSL can get away with...

Mine won’t come until Friday; Amazon offered one-day shipping but I hate using Prime for small stuff like this so I didn’t bother. Now I’m kicking myself, the hype is killing me.

I’ll elaborate on this further; I don’t really like the bass on the Truth Zeros. I think they’re too light. I prefer lighter highs, but I didn’t demo the u12ts long enough to know if I could live with that half of it, but I’m sure I prefer both it and the Zeros to the Blessing 2. I demoed more...

For the record, I own the Truth Zero:2s, both blue and red. I only demoed the u12ts. They do indeed sound better. I’d put them over my Blessing 2s for tuning though, outside of edge cases.

I want to find out, honestly. I remember many people debating this when the u12t and Truthear Zero were reviewed, and when I tried them both in real life, the u12t blew the Truth Zeroes out of the water. Maybe that's not special at 40 times the price, but ever since then, that's the dragon I've...

Ooooh damn... Can't wait to try this out myself. This is a 1DD IEM too, right? EQing the bass up on the Truthears is kind of a pain, but if they come through clean on these it'll really be something special.

I loved the Stealth, but I could never see myself spending $4k on a headphone. This is at least closer to reality for me. Something I can maybe dream about one day.

4 and a half stacks and the bass is still anemic, even with EQ? Nah, I'm Jamaican, I couldn't live with that.

The lower distortion is the biggest deal for me; I honestly thought the original Zero didn't have enough bass, and trying to EQ that bit of the band at all was playing with fire.

There are a lot of actually sort-of affordable estat amps coming out lately, along with interesting electrostatic headphones. (I'm really interested in the Dan Clark and Moondrop ones coming up.) Not a lot of faith in the Head-Case Stax thread, they've been burned by cheap Chinese energizers...

You can automate a bit of the process with a really good Lidarr setup.

I'm guessing Amir is slow with the review because "Topping/SMSL products with perfect measurements and bat-ear differences between them" has almost become a meme at this point, so reviewing almost anything else would be a higher priority.

When I tried them at Canjam I liked them so much that I was actually mad, lol. I was hoping they were overrated (or at least mild and boring) because they cost so much, but I ended up really enjoying them, and now they're one of my goal headphones. The Expanse didn't impress me as much, but to...

He's the King Piccolo to Amir's Kami.

Gonna be real with you, these did sound better -to me- than my Zeros when I demoed them. Maybe I just have it out for highs. The best thing about getting the Zeroes, aside from their being great IEMs in their own right, is I have something I can actually compare these frequency response graphs to.

Wish I took the time to demo these yesterday because I'm not sure what the selling point is just looking at these. The u12ts sounded magical, and the Fourté/Fourté Blancs, while just okay-sounding, were pretty enough to double as jewelry. If I could confirm these sounded half as good as the...
