not weird at all. Blocks are totally fine, as advertised. I've had mine for 8 months, all good. understand it's very simple ofc: no multipoint connection, no anc, prob a shit mic, etc. but it does simply connect to BT and play audio well without sealing your ear canals.

/iemg/ Dogma Check
Tired of the hivemind? Hereโ€™s your weekly sanity dose:

>Crinacle is not your priest.
Rankings are a guide, not divine scripture. Your ears > his spreadsheet.

>Harman โ‰  perfect.
Itโ€™s a preference curve, not a law of physics. Some genres need deviation.

>Chi-Fi isnโ€™t magic.
Great value, yes. Immune to qc issues and hype cycles? Nah.

>Graphs are not sound.
They donโ€™t show staging, dynamics, or fit. Use your ears, not just squigs.

>BA โ‰  metallic, DD โ‰  perfect.
Implementation matters more than driver type. Always has.

>Meme sets arenโ€™t the whole hobby.
If itโ€™s not shilled 24/7, it might still be good. It's highly encouraged to form an original opinion.

>Disagreeing โ‰  cope or deaf.
Let people like what they like without foaming at the mouth.

>Loud posts =/= smart takes.
Confidence without experience is just noise. Show graphs, impressions, or both.

This has been your scheduled break from pos groupthink.

it's subjective. quite a lot of people don't like the vacuum feel of iems or the need to shove them so deep into ear canal. sound wise some people also prefer flatheads sound because it has more open feel about them

Kefine Quatio Impressions
>Accessories and Shells
Good faux leather zip case that isn't too small. Decent ear tip variety, but run-of-the-mill quality. The thicker core dark grey tips work fine. Cable checks most boxes: threaded screw lock for modular end (3.5 and 4.4 plugs), good gauge 4-core weave, lightweight hardware bits, and functional chin slider (tight but stays in place). Main nitpick is that it holds some memory kinks, but otherwise a solid stock cable. Shells are above average size and modest weight. There is no attempt at pseudocustom molding, they've gone with a featureless smoothed oblong shape. I can find comfortable fit and seal, but I consider it far from ideal shell ergonomics and shape.
>Listening Specs
Impressions done with stock tips, stock cable, and Black nozzle.
Average sensitivity. Easy to drive, but not hyper revealing of source noise floor. Average scalability, upper midrange tonal issues are more prominent at higher volumes.
>Overall Sound
Cohesive, enveloping, and musical jack of all trades. Kefine generally doesn't shy away from low-end body and warmth, nor do they cross into "basshead," territory. Robust low frequencies lay a solid foundation for crisp midrange and treble. There are no significant peaks, but there are clear deviations from DF from 1.5kHz-6kHz. Instruments and vocals in this range step forward in the mix, and can present as a bit too frontal at times. This area is also where the main differences between nozzles are, and why I prefer the Black nozzles.

>Bass
Good quantity and quality. Good texture. Proper balance between sub bass and mid bass for adequate rumble and thump without droning or excessive bloat. Modestly fast bass without undue decay.
>Mids
Hit-or-miss. It is listenable with decent tonality, but as aforementioned there are tuning choices and coloration which differ from current meta. With the stock Silver nozzles, the elevated presence and overly forward female vocals can be a bit distracting. Less so with the Black nozzles. There is no significant recess or muffling with the Black nozzles, still plenty of midrange clarity.
>Treble
There is significant roll-off after 10kHz, so this is mainly discussing low and mid treble, handled by dual nozzle BAs. Tuning colorations and implementation come across as cohesive and pleasant, enhancing perception of imaging and details without harsh timbre. There is missing air and ultra high frequencies, so upper harmonic extension is lacking, and more nuanced UHF micro details are not emphasized.
>Perceived Technicalities
Admirable imaging, layering, and micro details within 10kHz range. Middling separation, macro details, and micro details >10kHz due to upper treble roll-off.
>Conclusion
Pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but if you find common Chi-Fi offerings lacking low-end oomph, then Quatio is a solid contender. The main warnings are that it does not have meta-tuned upper mids, and I do not think the shell design is good. It remains comfortable for long sessions, no hot spots or outright discomfort, but there is not a lot of leeway for me to achieve proper seal (read as: unforgiving fit, need to find the one correct spot and keep it there). Bland design and mediocre shell ergonomics really diminish the curb appeal and "beginner recommendation factor," but overall accessories and sound are well done to score above average in context of market and price.

Maybe tomorrow I will do some measurements, particularly to check for wideband midrange distortion and validate that they have used the 2DDs to cover most of the frequency response, with the BAs take over beyond 5kHz as they claim.

I have a really terrible track record with IEMs rarely lasting more than a year before they start dying in one ear, I don't even handle them that roughly. Are expensive ones at least more durable? I don't mind spending a couple hundred if they're not going to die within a year.

Well in my case I was using epz 530 which is harman-ish and then went with 1000xm3, which isn't cheap at all, just very poorly tuned and autoeq hammered this shit to harman pretty adequately, legit can use them without puking now, I doubt that any 10$ headphones or iems will take EQ as good as XM3 tho.

Monarch MK4 demo unit died so unfortunately I didn't get a chance to listen to it. But here's some recent pos impressions part 1:

>Nicehck Rockies
Tested on Azla Crystals โ€“ Decent JM-1 timbre, sounds like a less muddy Mega5est. Subbass and midbass are adequate, but it sounded less bassy than stock Harman sets. Compared to the EPZ P50, the Rockies have a smoother treble presentation, but itโ€™s a minor difference.

All in all, no glaring issues. Low-end is thinner than what Iโ€™d have liked, but not suffering from bass bleed is a huge plus. Rockiesโ€™ pricing is out of touch with the market tho, itโ€™s at best 5% better than the P50 but costs double the EPZ. 9/10.

Personal JM-1 ranking: Rockies => EPZ P50 > CrinEar Daybreak > CrinEar Meta > Mega5Est > DaVinci > Dusk

>Truthear Pure
Tested on Azla Crystals โ€“ Nice warm tonality but also incredibly muddy, even more so than the Zero:Red+10ohm. Lower-mids are barely coherent and on select tracks female vocals can sound a tad drown out. Iโ€™m a big fan of the warm tonality, but having heard better warmfi sets like the Artpical Lucifer, Alter Ego, Prismatica Gold, the aforementioned sets just completely mog the Pure in sound quality.

A/Bโ€™d to Hexa: My issues with the Hexa is the lacklustre bass and treble presentation, and fortunately the Pure has slightly improved on both areas. But itโ€™s a very marginal change, and not enough for me to call it good. 5/10.

>Ocharaku Donguri Kaede
Old Japanese bullet pos, very tip dependent. When using the Azla Crystals, the Kaede sounded really lean and congested โ€“ like you could tell the sound is being played through a small nozzle.

Swapping to Lepic Nuon tips helped the Kaede to sound kinda like a less midbassy Tanch Origin. I donโ€™t have triple flange tips, but using my deeper insertion EBT Earrbond tips helped a lot in smoothing out the treble and improving the sound. I can see the potential but I canโ€™t be bothered to tip-roll further. 7/10.

Part 2:
>Tanchjim Force
Already posted my impressions of the Force during Canjam. This is my demo of the final retail unit.

Tested on Azla Crystals โ€“ my initial impressions havenโ€™t changed. Force is a vocal centric set, but still very muddy. Also suffers from splashy treble like all Tanchjim pos (although itโ€™s not as bad as the Originโ€™s). Bass bleed on the Force is very noticeable โ€“ if youโ€™re a graph sniffer, the Rockies looks to have more low-end than the Force, yet in actuality the Rockiesโ€™ mids sounded vastly cleaner with zero bass bleed. 4/10.

>Tanchjim Fission (Switch: Monitor + Brass Nozzle)
Tested on Azla Crystals โ€“ Bright neutral, better treble presentation/extension than the Force. With a bit of brain burn-in, the treble sparkle is kinda nice and enjoyable, but it is still splashy.
Doesnโ€™t sound as midbassy as the Origin and treble timbre isnโ€™t as gritty. Listenable. 6/10.

>Kiwi Ears Astral
Tested on Azla Crystals โ€“ Astral sounded like the Rockies but with a more V-shape coloration: more bassy + pinna gain.

Unfortunately the coloration also changes the tonality of the set, Iโ€™d struggle to call this a real JM-1 tuning. The Astral also has treble peaks which makes female vocals extra shouty and shimmery. Cymbals and hi-hats sounded really nice tho.

When listening to classical, I get ear-raped by piano keys because of the treble peak. But the Astral is really fun-sounding when listening to the ACG genre (like fripSide). 8/10.

The P50 and Daybreak sounded really similar and honestly you could go either way. The only reason I ranked the P50 higher is because I perceived the treble on the Daybreak to be more aggressive.

Are there any other pocket Bluetooth DACs other than HiBy W3 and Fiio BTRs with a 3.5 mm port?
I bought one from Ugreen a long time ago, but it's starting to die, something is shorting out and it just shuts off.
I thought I'd have no trouble finding a replacement, but it's really difficult to find anything. The BTRs are a bit too expensive, and the HiBy has a really small battery.

mine's clogged? you checked it? clog or not, it's a v-shaped pos. if you wanna argue there's a lot going on in the treble that you most likely find bad, you still can't say it's not warm or that it's not v-shaped. unless you're talking about non-LM. which would still be wrong

5128 has worse QC than chifi, don't use it to judge channel balance. Also I'm like 80% certain crin measures one of the earpieces upside down since he could only afford one ear.

Fun Fact #1: With bullet iems, you rarely match the insertion depth for both sides; you always have some channel imbalance in the treble.

Fun Fact #2: Ear Canals Are Asymmetrical.

Fun Fact #3: The Brain Compensates For Little Imbalances.
