I got my Olina SE earlier this month.. I like certain things about it (changed the screen filter too, but left the foam damper in, way better) but i miss the timbre and slight warmth from my bl-03, very decent technicalities on the Olina SE though,these are both in my rotation now.

Well Shuwa my respect for your fine sound sensing. From Wan' er I was enjoying it so much. t was a very fun, reinforcing, most of all an impressive educated ear from your special guest Timmy. Damn, he nailed to the spot a price and then same set, I don't know how many could do that, I have clear I'd never do, very good video. I was thinking I would have given ikko oh5 to contrast the Olinas, both DD. Now Shuwa needs to put your Sound Sensing Equipment to the test in a coming video. Really it'd be nice, do it before new year! Merry Christmas all!

@BobbyEllaForever Жыл бұрын

Would be even better to run the same test with non-hobbyists. Nobody outside the hobby listens for treble ‘extension’ or ‘textured’ bass. These are audiophile terms borne of comparing sets to other sets and graphs. Frankly, 1k+ iems are batshit insane. Maybe, mmmmaybe, they sound a bit clearer than budget, but nowhere near the difference people who purchase them would have you believe.

I was jumping and screaming all over my room when Shuwa said the Olina SE sound like a $250-400 set and then you approved it as well! I've purchased them after your recommendation on 11.11 for 70 bucks and I couldn't be happier, especially after my Shure SE215) Thank you for such a great advice and also thank you for this video, awesome idea and it just shows how much more you should rely on your ears and preferences, that the expensive set might not deliver for you while you could find a 20 dollar that would be perfect for you

@VanDungLe2510 Жыл бұрын

I wasn't screaming, but i was glad too :)) I love my Olina SE apart from the condensation issue as well as the fit issue (i still haven't find a good seal tips yet), but it's feel kinda nice to have some kind of validation

@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 Жыл бұрын

@@VanDungLe2510 I hear foam tips can actually help a lot with condensation vs silicone. I too also love my Olina SE but my ears plus the current weather in Washington (cold af) makes condensation build up fast which recently results in one or both sides feeling clogged. A quick Qtip soaks whatever was on the filter and fixes the issue but I find I need to do it almost once every half hour. For that reason I've been using my Diokos and funny enough although I see condensation build up, it seems to only build up on the metal screen and not clog the sound like the Olina SE. I also haven't noticed clogging on my Truthear Zeros which also have a metal screen/filter. I haven't experimented with it but I might get some new filters then try and add the metal bit on top to see if it helps at all.
