Just wait the SuperMix 4

I'm curious about it too!

little more info, it was apparently listed accidentally on linsoul for $139. it has huge potential to redefine the mid-100's market. im looking for another iem in this range and both this and the supermix are both at the top of my list

@@littletweeter1327 Only thing left is to see which one is more technical, i already eq my stuff so tonality isnt an issue

update: supermix4 just went preorder on linsoul for $150

Glad it was helpful! I pay attention to details like that because I've had IEMs in the past that I enjoyed but couldn't use due to discomfort.

My pleasure!

Thanks! I agree 🙂

I think harmonish tunings can be good if they tame the upper mids/pinna and go with a gliding bass, or dip it around 300hz rather than 200hz.

Yes, the fit and size of the CKLVX surprised me too.

Thanks!

The P5 is my favorite IEM.

My pleasure!

Thanks! Have fun!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Looking forward to your review and hearing your sound impressions. 😊

Thank you 😁

The Explorer has stronger bass, a warmer, more intimate sound with exceptional detail retrieval. On the other hand, the Delci has greater treble extension. Personally, I prefer the Explorer for its outstanding bass response, natural vocals, non-harsh treble, and exceptional detail retrieval.

@@Atechreviews Thanks!

Rock on! Thanks for sharing. The Explorer is one of the few IEMs I recommend for metal music. I'm glad to know about the cable; it makes the IEM even better.

Thanks for your comment; that's an excellent suggestion. Are you suggesting a comparison video between budget IEMs and higher-end models? Or perhaps discussing when to upgrade to better IEMs and what differences to expect? As you mentioned with the Moondrop Chu II, more expensive doesn't always mean better; there's definitely a point of diminishing returns to consider.

@@Atechreviews comparison between between budget vs high end ones

@@MrAgrimkohli OK, I will plan and do it. 👍

@@Atechreviews will be eagerly waiting for it.

Thanks!

No, they have never slipped out of my ear. The provided stock ear tips work fine, but I use DIVINUS Velvet tips with them for excellent comfort, seal, and bass.

I believe the Explorer is ideal for metal music because of the tuning of its mid-range, reducing harshness, shoutiness, and listening fatigue often associated with the genre's harsher elements. Additionally, the Explorer's small earpieces provide a comfortable fit for your ears. I use SnowyNight as a portable DAC/Amp. Great build quality, high power output, detailed, not harsh, and never gets warm. I couldn't ask for more.

That's definitely interesting, and you're right. (except the upper treble maybe?)

The MagicOne is also a favorite of mine for relaxed listening. Are you referring to the AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC? I have a few pairs, so I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip! 👍🙂

@@Atechreviews Azla SednaEarFit or SednaEarFitLight eartips. These eartips may have been discontinued. MTMTaudio seems to still have them in stock.

@@apollomoonlandings Thanks for the info. I will check them out 👍

Hi would you still recommend the CKLVX D41? I have heard some mixed reviews either very good or very bad. Im not sure what to think

@@chillstep4life I would recommend the CKLVX D41 only if you like an IEM which has a bit of an earlier rise for the simulated pinna gain, or only if you are willing to use a bit of parametric EQ to tweak the overall sound signature. My EQ settings remove the early rise for the pinna gain and and slightly remove the mid bass tuck. This results in more natural sounding male and female vocals. My EQ settings also slightly roll off the deep sub bass in order to prevent the sub bass from being slightly overpowering. The D41, when using EQ, sounds very nice such that the D41 earned a slot directly adjacent to my Performer 5 in the watch box which contains my favorite IEMs. The D41 occasionally goes on sale for around $140 which is what I think that this IEM is worth. I recently saw the Performer 5 on sale for around $180. I would pick the latter if you can get it on sale and if you can afford it.

It’s definitely a tough choice. Let's see.

The closest IEM I tested that sounds like the DaVinci is the AFUL Explorer. I have both and when I compare them side by side, they sound really close, like 85-90%.The difference is the bass of the DaVinci is stronger with better quality and the DaVinci has more treble detail. I also recommend checking out the DUNU Falcon Ultra with the gold nozzle. It comes with excellent accessories, including a top-notch cable and an additional nozzle for more forward mids. Personally, I prefer the blue nozzle. The sound quality is about 70% or more of the DaVinci. I suggest investing 90% of your budget into the IEM itself and getting any budget dongle. I highly recommend the affordable and portable FiiO KA11. It has plenty of power for IEMs, sounds clean and detailed, and is small enough to attach to the IEM cable.

I hope so👍

I tried it with a wide range of genres, including classical, rap, hip hop, EDM, pop, rock, and metal, and it sounded wonderful across the board.

@Atechreviews will get it once its for sale. At this stage there is no price for aful

The AFUL Explorer has a more textured and detailed bass with greater slam, along with detailed mid-range and clear vocals, offering an intimate, neutral sound signature with a bass boost. In comparison, the PULA PA02 focuses on vocals but has excess upper treble that can sound splashy with rock music. The PA02 has a wider soundstage, while the Explorer's is more intimate. The Explorer is more comfortable to wear and smaller in size than the PULA PA02 and even the Performer 5. If you own the PA02, you'd enjoy the bass impact and detail of the Explorer, but if you have the Explorer, upgrading to the PA02 would be more of a sidegrade at best. I prefer the Explorer because of the sub-bass, mid-bass, and because it can maintain its clarity during busy music passages.

@@Atechreviews I already have Pula Pa02, I don’t like rock, but I Listen pop, hiphop, reggaeton, edm. I like my Pula a lot, so I’ll stick with it. Thanks for your answer.

@@saullete You're welcome. The PULA is a great IEM.

Both the AFUL Explorer and Celest Relentless have unique sound signatures. The AFUL Explorer is balanced with a touch of bass boost, offering textured bass. On the other hand, the Celest Relentless, especially with silicon ear tips, has a fun V-shaped tuning that emphasizes the upper midrange and treble. One standout feature of the AFUL Explorer is its ability to maintain a smooth sound even with harsh or aggressive music, never sounding harsh or fatiguing. The Explorer is great for vocals as they sound intimate and rich, while the Relentless excels in treble extension and technical performance. The detail retrieval of the Relentless is a step above the Explorer.

I haven't had the chance to try the FUDU, so I can't provide any comments on it. However, the Explorer is similar to the Performer 5 but with enhanced bass, greater clarity, and improved detail retrieval in the bass and mid-range.

@@Atechreviews wow seems like it's a much better value than the P5. Any reason why someone should pick the P5 over the explorer then?

@@calvinlooi4500 The Performer 5 has greater treble extension, enhanced treble detail, and superior instrument separation compared to the Explorer. It also offers a much wider soundstage, better imaging, and lower bass for those who prefer that. In contrast, the Explorer has a more intimate soundstage. The Explorer is expected to provide excellent value, as it leverages all of AFUL's experience and combines the technology from the Performer series and MagicOne, which makes perfect sense.

@@Atechreviews thanks for the detailed comparison! Looking forward to more of your reviews as our preferences seem similar. Bought the Delci after your review :D

@@calvinlooi4500 Thanks! I hope you like it. 🙂

Unfortunately, I don't have the Mangrid tea 2.

Yes. I have the same experience with the Z12 (similar to S12). To me, the AFUL Explorer never sounds sharp, shouty, or sibilant at any volume with any music.

@@Atechreviews Thank you friend.

@@carlostoledo4083 You're welcome! 🙂

@@Atechreviews Hello again friend, if you don't mind I have another question. I was looking into Dunu da vinci in comparison with Explorer da Vinci is a improvement?. Did you try QoA Adonis 2? If you did, what's your impression.

@@carlostoledo4083 I didn't try the QoA Adonis 2. The DaVinci is an improvement but it has much more bass, more forward vocals, and is more detailed.

I don't have the Doscinco so can't comment on its sound.

Thank you for the info. Do you happen to know which CVJ IEM used it?

@@Atechreviews it looks like the CVJ Ls200 cable, 0.78mm one with a non interchangeable end and no mic. The left right indicators near the pins on this cable are usually red and blue but here it's a uniform silver. I could be wrong. They aren't bad cables because I use them for on-the-go with work to listen to my iems, but Rose Technics Quiet sea is cheaper and comes with a better cable.

@@wana.me003 Thanks a lot for the info. I will check it out. 👍

@@wana.me003 I looked into it, and you're right, it seems quite similar. It would be fantastic if they included the interchangeable termination plugs.

@@Atechreviews I agree. If that's the cable then they should have included all the terminations given the price. I have the feeling that sometimes the price of audio gear is a bit of a rip off 😅

Immersive and intimate.

​@@AtechreviewsHeight, depth, width? Is the 3D scene visualized well in your head? How clearly is the arrangement of musical instruments visible?

I haven't tried that yet. Do you have a recommended video for testing it?

fastasmr has a lot of close whisper videos with sensitive mics. Massage asmr has a lot of old bangers too, loved his touch tapping series. Ephemeral Rift also has a lot of good ones.

Given that these are all planars, they will have its unique sound signature. The most noticeable disparities are expected in the bass quality and speed. The Explorer is likely to offer more bass with a greater sense of impact. Another point of differentiation would be the tuning of the mid-range and treble. The Explorer is designed to avoid sounding harsh regardless of the content being played while still having great detail retrieval and instrument separation.

I was informed it will be priced under $150. At CanJam, they mentioned it would be $120.

@@Atechreviews seems like great value for 120

@@alvarg Definitely.

Not at all. It has a natural timbre.

Chopin.

I think the branding appears large because the earpieces are smaller than most IEMs I've tried. But I understand your point.

I'm really not sure since I haven't received any information. Maybe give it a few days and see.

@@Atechreviews Oh ok, by the way how does it compare with the Chopin?

@@marumaru5480 The Explorer excels in its sub-bass, it is more pronounced. However, in all other aspects, the Chopin shines. It has excellent treble, exceptional detail, forward vocals, and a wider soundstage.

The cohesiveness is impressive. The transitions between the lows, mids, and highs are seamless and well-balanced. It's also great at handling complex tracks without losing detail or clarity.

That’s great to hear! And how is the BA timbre?

@@tristankrafft4201 There's very little BA timbre, if any at all.

Already did.

@@Atechreviews noice! Omw

I don't have the Supermix 4.

The Explorer has better sub-bass, mid-bass, and has more intimate vocals. The difference in the bass quantity and quality is night and day.

@@Atechreviews Based on your experience with IEMS, when do you think it will be available for purchase? Approximately of course, I know it's hard to predict.

@@prince5922 I'm not entirely sure. I'd suggest giving it about a week or so.

​@@Atechreviewsso you're saying that in the bass sector explorer is out performing a mighty performer? Thats weird

​@@BapakgwI know right? So existing

The Explorer has better sub-bass, mid-bass, and has more intimate vocals.

@@Atechreviews Thanks! Separation goes to the P5? How abou bass "texture"?

@@DrinkWater713 The Explorer has better bass with greater texture and quality, surpassing the P5 in both quantity and quality. While the P5 has slightly better separation, the Explorer maintains its clarity and separation even during busier musical passages. On the other hand, the Performer 5 excels in treble clarity and definition.

@@Atechreviews Thanks. This is very helpful!

@@DrinkWater713 You're welcome! 🙂

Peace!

I hadn't heard of it before. I am not a bass head. However, I do appreciate high-quality, textured bass. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍

@@Atechreviews it’s a cheaper hype 4 basically

@@Hijynx87 I like the Hype 4.

Definitely.

Give it a few days.

​@@AtechreviewsJust today it started selling for 1000 dollars at Aliexpress lol wtf Is that price right?
