those cables look very nice. I will put this on my wishlist. I just recently started exploring IEM because headphones are very bulky, though they sound nice, their portability is not ideal.

@@MasterMarslander it is. Since I am starting with the budget side I was able to try a couple of them in a short period. KZ Castor, ZS10 Pro2, and Chu 2. At first, I thought having more detail was the way to go since I like the Audeze Maxwell. However, for some reason, I enjoy listening to Chu 2 more. I did use an EQ for chu 2, but the EQ settings are saved in their DSP cable. I am not sure how I feel about that. The type C connector would not allow me to connect to FiiO BTR15.

I wonder what happened to my comment, I exerted effort in writing that one. Yessss, it is another set of things to consider which is fun. I will be bringing some of the IEMs to the office to introduce them to my fellow corporate slaves.

I have one coming tomorrow. I also have the mp145 I’m curious how this stacks up. This could be a good loud listen set.

They do seem like they would be comfortably sized. IEMs tempt me every so often despite the fact that I really hate their feel and struggle with them staying in place.

There’s a certain technique to inserting earphones. Try the Kefine Delci or the DITA Project M - both are very good fitting IEMs.
@thepedanticcreature680Ай бұрын
@@TheVeganVicar Thank you for the tips but I already follow those instructions. What I need to now determine whether it is a matter of the IEMs that I have having a bad fit or a physiological incompatibility since I have had a doctor exclaim that my ear canals 'go the wrong way'.

Thanks for the review! I see you also reviewed the S15, which measures about the same. Do you have any thoughts on how they differ?
@MasterMarslanderАй бұрын
@PancakeAndRiley S15 offers a great layer of resolution and a more realistic representation overall. My biggest issue with the S15 is the price. At a third the price, the SO8 is a significantly better value.

Im currently using Moondrop Chu 2 and I like the design very reminiscent to chu 2. Would be a good upgrade?

A planar magnetic driver is definitely an upgrade from the Chu 2. Planars tend to be really bright, just like Moondrop’s tuning, but this one appears to be a much warmer sounding, so it will probably be easier to listen to than other planar drivers.

Hi, how does it compare to S12 Pro?
@MasterMarslanderАй бұрын
S12 Pro is more vocal forward and overall better vocal timbre, while the SO8 offer more texture in the high-end and a bit wider staging. Otherwise pretty similar. SO8 has slightly more bass impact.
@Hijynx87Ай бұрын
It’s supposed to be much smoother and measures pretty flat compared to the other planars. Like the s15.
