49 minutes! That is looooong

20 minutes for review, 30 minutes chatting with the audience.

Yeah I hope they figure it out 🤞

🤙

Thanks for watching ✌️

🤙

Is this suitable for R&B and indie

🤙

Yeah, I'm still listening to it regularly.

I'm with you 👍

@@SuperReview I'd go as far as to say I prefer these to the Starfields.

Don't tell anyone else, but I do too.

@@SuperReview they fit better and I prefer their sound signature. I also prefer these to the T2 Plus.

Ditto.

Welcome back, Karamel ✌️

and hearing people saying about him being analytic and not fun makes me Go aaaaaaaaa

I think they're pretty fun TBH.

No, haven't done that. It will change the treble curve past 6k, but not anything lower than that.

I personally use the cable from an SSR on my Blessing 2. You're good.

"Sound much better" is quite a loaded ask. FWIW, I really like how SSR sounds.

​@@SuperReview The thing is I have very small ear canals and sensitive ears. Could not find a pair that does not make my ears sore after 30mins. My budget is around 120$. Any more VERY comfort IEMs in this price?

You might be better with something that fits shallow, like Shozy CP or Magaosi K5. Tanchjim Hana also.

@@SuperReview Great recommendations! These models went off my radar. I really want to try the Knowles drivers, so The Shozy CP looks interesting.

CP is most comfortable IEM I've tried.

I really like the SSR, but IMO it doesn't have much in common with the FA1. Less bass, more upper mids. The Tin T2 is probably closer.

@@SuperReview thank you !

Yeah, you can use any 2-pin cable if you find one with a microphone. This cable is pretty normal length, probably 1.2 meters.

They sound different, so depends on what differences you want to see. T2 midrange tonality is a bit flatter with a bit more mid-treble zing and more midbass, while SSR has pretty big upper midrange lift that brings vocals out front. Both do a good job with image layering. I like the texture of the SSR bass.

Yeah, it's kinda dense. This article by Crinacle is a good attempt: crinacle.com/2020/04/08/graphs-101-how-to-read-headphone-measurements/

Probably not.

The tuning is different than ER2XR -- brighter overall, less natural in the vocals. But I find SSR more engaging technically TBH.

Blessing 2

@@SuperReview Cool. Regular not Dusk?

@@isaacbrown1102 IMO yes.

Skip the KZ. If you want bass, consider the Truthear Zero or Blon BL03.

@@SuperReview thank you for responding. I'm in between the SSP, and the TrueZero headphones. They're my first iem's after years after my kz's got stolen. Thank you for the help bru, and have a nice day/night

Well, as a "trend" this follows about 5 years of bassy budget IEMs, so I'm okay with this diversion.

@@SuperReview haha no that is totally fair. I'm not necessarily condemning tbf, just more so, I like the elevated treble as you do, just maybe more so than the upper mid-range, if I have my drother's.. But yeah the bass over boosted or V signature, surely, new is new, and I don't mind something a bit different than those.. That's for sure..😄✌🏼 I've actually been told with your review t2 plus it's actually good (today in fact, by someone else I really trust), I may try it.. I'm just weirdly a bit more sensitive in upper mid-range myself, more than I am treble.. So I may try it 😎 good review btw 💯👍🏼

Both should be good for side sleeping, I would pick based on which sound you want. I personally prefer SSR>

Thanks

It should work, but note that KZ 2-pin is usually 0.75mm and SSR 2-pin is 0.78 -- means that the KZ cable might fit a bit loose.

​@@SuperReview KZ APTX HD has 2 types with 2-pin connector, type B and type C. Which type will fit with SSR ? I think between those types have the same 0.75mm pin, the difference is pin on type B is a bit longer than type C.

A- and B-pin should work, C-pin will not.

@@SuperReview Thank you very much for the explanation

It's a solid DAP for the price, yeah.

Hi, is this suitable for indie and RnB genre?

Love it, one of my faves still.

Sorry I haven't heard it 🙉

It's not, no bass and too bright

how were your impression? are these good for pop/pop rock ? do you think they lack anything?

For myself, I choose SSR. Aria may be a safer general pick though.

@@SuperReview Thank you very much!

Where'd you order?

@@SuperReview a local reseller

ssr is so good. poor man's er4sr

@ 10:08 after you compare to Blon 03 which many agree is great sounding + great value iem. You start to dance around apologizing almost for the absence of bass relative to the 13db elevated mids to highs region. True, a flat bass graph is desirable by some but when compared to elevated mids and highs - if listening at reasonable levels most human ears do not perceive/hear low frequencies or high frequencies as well as mids. That is why “loudness” compensation was introduced as a button on early stereo receivers to “enhance” listening while listening at lower volumes. Just look up Fletcher Munson loudness contour. This is why sirens are tuned to that band of frequencies that we can all hear. That said, if we listen to these at reasonable levels to a point where the pronounced tuning of these iems are not making our ears hemorrhage with a 13 dB or so elevation in frequencies at or in the region of sirens and alarm, this deviation from mid bass, or any bass at all one could say that these iems have no bass per the Fletcher Munson studies of human listening. It is my understanding that the Harmon tuning curve is set to compensate for most human ears so that a reasonable bump in the sub to mid bass relative to the usual midrange plateau seen on most graphs basically means we hear them as neutral sounding. It is also my understanding that all the flourishes, picks and dips above 8 khz are tuned to try to recreate what our ears hear in real life to create a sense of stage and depth while also maintaining good sheen and air to the listening experience. Can you speak to what songs you listened to when evaluating these? I apologize in advance as I stopped your video at 11 minutes after I heard your comments regarding bass and how these IEMs appealed to you but...were not for everyone because I felt compelled to comment on that aspect and honestly, how often you actually get to mention Fletcher Munson???

I've not heard the KC2.

@@SuperReview i hope you can review it soon. I like this so much. Well ballanced and neutral, tho im actually intrigued by the way u reviewd ssr. Im not a bass head but i do like to listen at high volume and sometimes kc2 gets a bit of a rumble on the lower frequencies. I hope u can try it soon so you can compare. :)

The Sora sound is IMO a closer match to the Starfield -- Sora has much stronger bass than the SSR. It's quite good.

Urbanfun YBF-ISS014

This one.

This has quite nice separation. Tin T2 Plus is an easier recommendation, though I personally prefer the SSR.

@@SuperReview oh.. im attracted to the color and design of the ssr. How is the ssr when compared to the cca c10 sir? Seeing ur review make we want to get them actually lol. If only there is a physical store here that provide display/testing unit to customer for this thing, would be great

CCA C10 is much bassier and warmer sound from memory, probably more "balanced" for most tastes -- SSR is more bright neutral. I prefer the SSR, but my tastes are not always common.

@@SuperReview hooo.. gonna get the ssr then... Thank you

Just wanna say, I still think T2 Pro is an easier rec.

I don't play games with IEMs, but imaging on this is pretty solid IMO.

Totally.

I'm not planning to.

@@SuperReview awww ok thank you for replying

Spaceship upper midrange is pretty similar, forward, thin, kinda odd. Spaceship has stronger mid-bass volume but I think SSR has better impact. Generally I think SSR has better definition, separation, and layering. But there are some similarities.

@@SuperReview Is SSR still your recommendation over Tin T2, or are those two differ based on preference? I quite like the sound of Spaceship, but wish to get something with a little bit more clarity

Moondrop Blessing 2 is my favorite IEM right now, nice and neutral. Though soundstage isn't the widest. If you want something wide, Magaosi K5 is quite nice, though bass isn't as good as Blessing 2 bass.

I haven't tried it -- I usually use Xelastec tips for improved security.

@@SuperReview You mean secure fit?

Yes.

I like SSR better, but not everyone will.

Uh, a bit different. But I like SSR more than ZS10 Pro.

Pretty much the same as SSP. Be careful with your ears plz.

@@SuperReview thank you for the reply. I was considering getting them but may go Tin T2. I want a relaxed listening experience minus too much bass.

@@SuperReview oh and I like the reply. I just like it a little louder because I had a little hearing loss from the military. So I like it loud but sort of calm and yet very pleasant if that makes sense.

Yeah I think so.

Depends on what you want. I like SSR best among them, but I think T2 Plus bass will make it more attractive to a lot of people.

@@SuperReview how about tin audio t3?

It's somewhere in between the two, if SSR is bright-neutral, and T2 Plus is bright-V.

@@SuperReview Which one tin hifi t2 pro or tin audio t2 pro?

It is indeed a basslet. I find the bass has a satisfying punch, but not much loudness, good for texture and tone, not so much for thump.

I haven't tried with any foams.

They're still pretty gutless, I tried the blue T2 foams, and then Ikko iPlanet foams, they're still bass light, this was with the 16 core OCC cable I pulled off my BLON bl03

Will do.

It's pretty different from Blon; my preference would be SSR, but I'm not that big into bass.

@@SuperReview apparently after "consumer feedback" they are being retuned. Note on thier Facebook page. They are already unavailable on Amazon.de where I bought them. I have some music with no bass, Bat out of Hell and odd hill tribe chanting, etc. What do you listen to?

I don't believe it's being retuned, they cited some issues with the cable supply. For bass, they have a separate model on the way, SSP. I listen to a lot of things, but have a playlist on my channel of some of the tracks I use for reference: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL17Y86iz7a3hn0.html

@@SuperReview Surprisingly mellow, but most of it is [Video not available in country] because: Germany and GEMA. I think De La Soul sent me their last album, it's pobably on my work PC, curse you Rona. :)

Music rights are so goofy. Do at least the song titles appear?

Have you heard it?

Super* Review I did.

Overall I prefer ER2XR, but I do actually prefer the bass levels of the SSR.

i do like ssr. i loved it, it's a more comfy er4sr

Pretty much the same, except Chu 2 cable has a small y-split.

Dunno.

Yes, in my experience.

Sounds like the issue is related to the cable, curious to know more.

16:06

It seems you are not a fan of kz, but it would be interesting to hear your opinion.

I have not. KZ makes some decent earphones, but they also seem a bit haphazard in their lineup.

@@SuperReview :D you should try, the dollar range for that baby is nice. btw I bought SSR and have to wait for a month since the product line issue???

Yeah just found out 😭

@@SuperReview Q_Q

Not sure what drummers want.

You know what you want.

*@Diego Pérez Reyes* are you weeb ( - w - )

TBH I haven't listened to Brass in a long time.

TBH Crescent already has pretty solid techs, just needed to have a removable cable to be taken seriously by a lot of people.

I kinda like SSR better, both are very solid.

@@SuperReview Thanks. Up to 40 $, it's my big question. Another indication?

No. I love these.

@@SuperReview lol I do love the fit and form factor though. Wish Moondrop would package the quarks in this build. Good low vol sleep set

How many ears you got? 👀

Yes.

Is this good for RnB and indie genre?

Good morning ✌️

Totes.

I own both. KZ ZSN Pro is too much in the highs for me. Bass is definitely more in the BLON BL-03 than the KZ ZSN Pro. Use your KZ Starlight earplugs and invert them and put them on your BL-03. Than let me know what you think

Yah, watched badguygoodaudio say these are crap for the reasons you mentioned.

I rated it that way because I like it.

@@dagnisnierlins188 BadGuy is a good review, but he's basshead. Different opinions about a same product.

@@not9641 you can be a basshead but still want everything from mids to Treble be good, always says if a pair might have too much base for some or Treble.

Oh? What's the news on that?

Crazy, I was just checking the websites that had it posted (amazon, hifigo and shenzenaudio) and all the pages are down. Shenzen only has a preorder page. Pretty disappointing but guess I'll wait for the second batch.

A month 😳

Super* Metal Review incoming.

@@SuperReview How do these compare to stardust? Which ones you prefer and why?

I can add time stamps after KZfaq lets me clip off the beginning seconds of the video, usually takes a while. BTW, I prefer to hear what people want, not what they think I must do.

@@SuperReview that last line was unnessary and comes off as arrogant.

@@SuperReview Your videos are fine. Just because a few chuckle-heads think they are somehow professional video director/producers is no biggie. You can be arrogant, sir. This is after all your channel, your content and your time. You do what you want and let the know-it-alls move it right along. Thank you for the reviews.

@@gundamOPS /choosingbeggars

I'm not sure what arrogant means to you, I'm stating my preference. I think it applies to all human interaction, not just with me.

Uh you do you.

I have tin2+ and aria but i prefer ssr. so just do you do

Oh wow, I really like the way it looks. What's an example of an earphone that you think looks really good?
