A BIG thank you to Myer Audio for providing the CKLVX-D41 for review, much appreciated.
Sometimes a product arrives that completely takes me by surprise. Myer Audio CKLVX-D41 did just that but was it a negative or positive surprise? How does it compare to the Ziigaat Cinno and Tanchjim Kara?
Purchase:
hifigo.com/products/cklvx-d41...
**PLEASE NOTE**
I apologize for the error at 13:38 the comparison is against the Ziigaat Cinno not the Ziigaat Nuo. I apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

The fact is that I want to buy a good MYER AUDIO NCKLVX D41 iem and I can order it 4.4 or 3.5, will there be an auditory difference? I have thought about buying it 4.4 and a nicehck adapter from 2.5 to 4.4. The 3.5 is more versatile but I fear it will lose quality. Thanks in advance for your response. Greetings and blessings.

I think I found an eartip for the CKLVX that makes it indistinguishable from the Hype 4 (at least in terms of pure sonics). Azla SednaEarFit Vivid Edition eartips, they bring out more flavor from the midbass, redirect the mids to sound more balanced between male and female vocals whilst still complimenting the tonality of lead instruments, and they "wake up" the treble so that it comes across as being more enthusiastic/less dull. I almost can't tell the two iems apart now, but I'm pretty sure the Hype 4 still has the better technicalities.

Myer CKLVX D41 or Truthear Hexa?

Id take the D41 over the Hexa as it's more detailed, resolving, natural and pleasing to listen to

Blessing 3 or Hype 4?
@TheHonestAudiophile
@TheHonestAudiophile 2 ай бұрын
I've not heard the Blessing 3 since I review it. But if memory serves me correctly, the Hype 4 is a bit more fun leading and the Blessing 3 is more neutral, analytical leaning. I don't remember enough about the technical abilities to do a fair comparison.

Was looking at this one when I could get it for $120 with coins, thought it would go down during the sale but instead it went up $50! Ugh.

In my opinion it is worth the asking price. Not sure it is an unicorn though, it's not a legend killer just a unique listen in its price range.

From what I understand, the treble and mids are slightly different between the two. I haven't heard the Pula PA02 though so I can't confirm. Glad you enjoy the PA02.

Chopin isn't as full sounding, isn't as natural with tone and timbre, similar details and resolution but maybe slight edge to D41, stage is more refined and focused on D41.

I've not heard the P5 in a long time as I sold it about 6 months ago. But if memory serves me correctly the D41 is more accurate with tone and timbre, slightly better detailed and resolving and has a little more clarity.

Great review, Dave. Red shirt for the red stems...................right? My fav is still Moondrop Kato. Do manufacturer's sit in a bar at night and come up with the worst possible names for their IEM's? I was really impressed, you only got tongue-tied once. HAPPY EASTER. 🥰
