one comparison you could've included here is with the Softears Studio 4, which surprisingly graphs fairly close to the Performer 8. I have yet to try the Performer 8 but if I have to guess, The Studio 4 would still be worth saving up for if you want that smoother overall presentation. I'm more of a hybrid IEM person so I'll probably purchase the Performer 8 for the DD bass. Guess this is my end of year purchase hehe. Great video as always, Timmy 🙏

TLDR: Studio4s are better. Depends on your budget, consider the Orchestra lite. I've tried both along with the Orchestra lite (and more than I would like to admit). The orchestra lite and performer 8 are surprisingly close. p8 definitely has more details, but if I'm not fully focused on them, it's pretty hard to tell. Tough to justify the upgrade from o lite considering how much cheaper it is ($270 vs $400, including tax, off amazon in the US). Studio4s are straight up better than both (as they should be, given they cost around 490). Are they 220 dollars better than the o lite? Hard to say. O lite is like 85% there. Are Studio4s 90 dollars better than the p8? Yes, definitely worth the extra if you're only going to buy one. It's really about one's perspective and budget. Also you don't need to worry about the bass on the Studio4s, doesn't sound like BA bass at all. The quality and quantity are great. Hope this helps in some way.

The Performer 8 is having somewhat similar tuning strategy to that of 64Audio scooping out the pinna gain region, this surprisingly brings magic to the mids especially female vocal sounds smooth and angelic. I can't wait for your detail review and verdict on the latest U4s.

I have the Aful P5 and while i enjoy the bass of this IEM, i feel that at times it feels not sparkly enough for certain tracks. Would the P8 worth the upgrade? Mostly listen to rock song. Also wonder how does the soundstage compared to P5?
@umtbozkr2358 Жыл бұрын
I have the Performer 5, and now, for a couple of weeks the Performer 8. Since then, I didn't used the Performer 5. I am waiting for the Moondrop Variations to be delivered; I am very curious if the Variations is even better. I absolutely would recommend the Performer 8. Very balanced and clean sound. Not a bass monster, but you don't mis it. Also, very sensitive IEM'S; you don't need much power to get them to work properly.

Great video! Love the review. I asked something related to this in another video you posted, but I am curious about your concern regarding the bass and articulation. I am a professional musician, and I want to replace my high end JBL wedge monitor (PRX618m) with an IEM. I don't play hip hop or heavy hardcore "bass music" so how would the P8 be for an IEM for live performance with my band, solo, and with backing tracks? To give you more info, I am mostly into classic rock, and lots of melodic lead guitar and lots of vocal harmonies. You complained about the bass in your review, but in your opinion, if I am sending a monitor feed to this IEM, via wireless body-pack, would you think that I can make the bass sound better by simply going into that aux send (monitor feed) on my mixer, pull up my 31 band graphic EQ, and just notch up the sliders from 60 Hz to 250 Hz? I have 7 virtual sliders on my iPad mixing surface for my Mackie mixer, and it seems to me (I would have to play with it) that I might be able to compensate for any lack of bass by boosting some or all of those sliders 2-5 db or so and see how it sounds? You have me thinking that the P8 is a better entry than the P5 for live performance, wedge-monitor replacement?
