I have a set of P5's and was wondering if the Davinci would offer enough to consider buying as a replacement or possible second set.

Thanks for watching! Pilgrim - U-shape signature, a little bright in treble, slightly more relaxed upper mids but stays generally natural, Favorite bass under $500 (yes, I prefer its bass over Studio 4 and Davinci). Technicalities fall slightly below Studio 4 but still better than Performer 8, and Davinci. Pilgrim retains second place under $500 (just under Studio 4) Davinci - Excellent neutral tuning, very natural throughout, bass and mid bass energy slightly above my tuning preference but works great with electronic and classic rock, Davinci’s bass is more satisfying than the Studio 4 but I still prefer Pilgrim bass overall, (over the Studio 4 and Davinci) Technicalities of Davinci basically on par with Performer 8 but fall below Pilgrim and Studio 4. Hopefully, that helps a little! Thanks again for watching!

@@Audio-In-Reviews Do you prefer the bass of the pilgrim more because it is not as strong as the davinci?

I really enjoyed watching this review. Your review for the Performer 5 convinced me to purchase this IEM which is still my favorite IEM under $220. I think that I will take a leap and purchase the DaVinci.

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

Awesome! The Performer 5 is a great set! I'm definitely curious to hear your thoughts on the Davinci if you pull the trigger. Thanks for checking out the review!

[@apollomoonlandings]

@@Audio-In-Reviews I pulled the trigger late last night. I am supposed to receive the DaVinci in 1 to 2 weeks.

[@apollomoonlandings]

I received the DaVinci this last Saturday morning. I have been busy with work (even on the last weekend) and I have had little time to thoroughly evaluate the DaVinci. Nevertheless, and after some quick eartip rolling, the DaVinci sailed through my initial top 10 test tracks well enough for me to initially decide that the DaVinci is worth its purchase price and has better transparency for details in comparison to the Performer 5, and perhaps a bit more details. I quickly discovered that the Tri Clarion eartips did muddy up the sub bass. I am presently using Azla SednaEarfitLight Short eartips with the DaVinci. I have other eartips which I want to try with the DaVinci. Regardless, the DaVinci appears to be a keeper for its price.

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

@apollomoonlandings @apollomoonlandings That's awesome! I'm glad you're happy with it! I've been listening to the DaVinci quite a bit lately, especially on my walks. Such a great set for the price. Thanks for the update!

[@apollomoonlandings]

@@Audio-In-Reviews You are most welcome. I have settled on the Tang Sancai Balanced eartips for the best comfort and listening experience even though I prefer to use parametric EQ to tame the excessive sub bass by -3 dB in order to float my boat. I was born completely deaf in one ear and I have no choice but to listen to everything in mono. The DaVinci shines for me in terms of actually allowing me to hear significantly more noticeable depth and layering in addition to having noticeably more cleanly defined details throughout, versus the Performer 5 which I still do love. Personally for me and given my limited hearing capabilities, the DaVinci definitely is worth the price.

[@rubenviegas6358]

Always appreciate your reviews but I think you should have excused yourself from reviewing the Davinci because of your Gizaudio affiliation. Or at least waited for other reviews to populate KZbin. I'm sure you're trying your best to be objective, but can't give this much cred. The Davinci's are stunning in the looks department.

I can definitely appreciate your perspective. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching.

[@viktornaroznoi1370]

Don't really see the difference between this and other youtubers from audiophile community reviewing this or other such collab products. I mean most of them know each other and hand out together at CanJam etc, so you can argue that they are all affiliated with each other ;) Also, being not truthful and praising a product that is below par in a review is probably the stupidest way to ruin one's channel's reputation and credibility, so I really don't see the incentive here. That being said, I myself am somewhat biased and want this to be good due to having a pair of DaVincis en route from Hifigo at this time ;)

[@oliverchapman1512]

@@Audio-In-Reviews I don't think "perspective" is the right word, there is a pretty clear and objective conflict of interest going on here. I enjoy your videos and I don't disbelieve anything that was said in the review but surely you should have at least provided some sort of disclaimer.

How would you compare these to the Blessing 3?

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I don't have the Blessing 3 anymore. But If I remember correctly, it was a little thin its presentation and lacked note weight but had really good technicalities for its price point at the time. Then when the Performer 8 came on the scene, it became my new standard at that price point so the Blessing three was no longer needed for comparisons. I subsequently sold it to put money towards an upgrade. Basically, in the end, I felt the Performer 8 was tuned slightly better and had better technical performance than the B3. And the Davinci has basically equal technical performance to the Performer 8 which means, even though I can't really do a side by side, the Davinci probably has better technical performance than the B3 and based on what I remember of the tuning of the B3, I think I prefer the tuning of the Davinci a little more too. I hope that helps. Again, thank you so much for watching!

Beautiful vid and cinematography. I’m an architectural photographer and electronic musician, your compositions, angles, b rolls are top tier. The only thing missing in your review are frequency graphs, though your sound descriptions are very detailed. The DaVinci looks intriguing but I don’t think I’d take them over my Doscincos. I’m glad Timmy added some warmth but I’m waiting for him to get bold with the low end one day. This could be a great candidate for a basshead version. Call it DaVinci Deep. I might buy one. I like the iems that have one switch on/off for bass boost. Though maybe I’m lucky, can’t buy em all..

I'd like to know your thoughts about what you think about the Dunu vs the Pilgrim because you compared the pilgrim against those same two iems in your review of it, and you said the pilgrim was second place to the performer 8. I just received my Pilgrim and while nice in technicalities and detail, I'm finding it very balanced. And not a standout in anyway.

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

Thanks for watching! So right now, ranking under $500 would be: 1 - Studio 4 - Excellent neutral tuning (closest to my preference), best technical under $500 - all around best under $500 2 - Pilgrim - U-shape signature, a little bright in treble, slightly more relaxed upper mids but stays generally natural, Favorite bass under $500 (yes, I prefer its bass over Studio 4 and Davinci). Technicalities fall slightly below Studio 4 but still better than Performer 8, and Davinci 3 - Davinci - Excellent neutral tuning, very natural throughout, bass and mid bass energy slightly above my tuning preference but works great with electronic and classic rock, Davinci’s bass is more satisfying than the Studio 4. But I still prefer Pilgrim bass overall, (over the Studio 4 and Davinci) Technicalities of Davinci basically on par with Performer 8 but fall below Pilgrim and Studio 4. Tied for third? Performer 8 - falls somewhere in the neutral category, very relaxed upper mids, relaxed bass (falls below my preference). Technicalities were best under $400 but not to levels of Studio 4. Now Pilgrim has equal if not slightly better technicalities over Performer 8 (maybe slightly more resolving). Davinci also has basically equal technical performance as Performer 8. Davinci upper mids also is closer to my tuning preference than Performer 8. But performer 8 has more controlled bass and maybe slightly more resolving treble over Davinci. I hope that helps to clarify things, thanks again for watching!

@@Audio-In-Reviews this helps a lot and thanks for the in depth comparison. I actually switched the tips on my pilgrims because of the short barrel.

If you have the funds, just buy it. The SA6 MK2 and DaVinci are on a different level.

[@mkalok1307]

​@@thomasdanny7717can explain more details?

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

The Davinci is a more versatile/safe set because of it tuning and will probably work well across the board with different genres. But the SA6 MK2 wins overall especially in the technical department. It's simply more resolving and has better micro details. The SA6 MK2 is also tuned differently and is less neutral, bordering more on a V-shape tuning so it's going to be a little more engaging. And even though the Davinci's upper mid tuning is technically a little more in line with my preference I still find myself connecting with the SA6 MK2's more immersive and still very natural (especially for a near V-shape tuning) presentation. And with SA6 MK2 switch on, even though its BA bass somehow, they've managed to magically infuse some DD bass attributes into it. All that said in terms of sheer naturalness and vocal/instrument reproduction the Davinci is exceptional for its price and because of the mid bass and bass tuning (and because of the well implemented DD) it still does an excellent job of connecting and immersing me into the music. The bottom line is, though, the Davinci has set a new standard for its price point. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@mkalok1307]

thank you for your detail explanation 👍

[@paulosilva8200]

Not for me. Once the mid bass is flat at high volumes, the sound looses the weight note and starts to sound thin for my taste. Bass bleed only happens at low snd medium volumes. High volumes the mid bass and sub stays the same. Only the upper mids and treble shoots up.

[@phetmoz]

If you take a look at the frequency response, I think you would be pleasantly surprised because the there is an elevation from 1kHz downwards, it's not flat until 200Hz but rather there is a shelf at 850Hz to 200Hz, then it starts rising into the Sub-Bass. It looks pretty good

Ah, yea! The Davinci reviews starting up! I'm looking for confirmation bias as mine gets here. hehe

[@lb3537]

Ha Zeos just gave the DA Vinci a 10/10! 🎉

[@phetmoz]

Thank you for the review. I would have liked a true comparison to Dusk 2 & Pilgrim which are some of the hottest IEMs out right now under $500. We'll have to wait for Jays Audio review I suppose.

[@Highwaystar0]

People are giving him shit for being close with gizaudio but everyone says the same thing so leave him be !

[@heliopijpe]

Great package

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

Agree 100%. Thanks for watching!

[@TouzeenHussain]

Too many to choose from in this price range. Project M,Dusk,Pilgrim and DaVinci.

[@iman3gb]

I'll go for Pilgrim bro

[@thomasdanny7717]

Isn't that even good? You can choose the tuning that best suits your taste. Remember your taste, not everyone's taste.

Honest review thanks 👍

Was I the only one who thought that this was a purely complementary review? (well, I understand why, but…) Why does the author of the video keep comparing Davinci to either dynamic iem’s or BA’ish iem’s? Where is the comparison with hybrids (except AFUL)? If my memory serves me correctly, the author of the channel really liked Blessing 3, why not compare with them, because they are worse than B3?) It seems that Davinci will be passable... But you still have to listen on your own, reviewers - this is more about advertising.

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

I definitely understand your position and I appreciate the honesty! Thanks for taking the time to weigh-in. I love seeing engagement in the community as long as its constructive. That being said. I don't own the Blessing 3, which is why I don't include it in my comparisons anymore. I try to stick with iems I have on hand. If I remember correctly, it was a little thin its presentation and lacked note weight but had good technicalities for its price point at the time. Then when the Performer 8 came on the scene, it became my new standard at that price point so the Blessing three was no longer needed for comparisons. I subsequently sold it to put money towards an upgrade. Basically, in the end, I felt the Performer 8 was tuned slightly better and had better technical performance than the B3. And the Davinci has basically equal technical performance to the Performer 8. So, it would only stand to reason that IMO the Davinci also has better technical performance than the Blessing 3. Again, I appreciate the honesty and engagement. I hope this helps clear things up a little.

Review of the year?

Da VINKY?! :0

[@wiesolos]

You are a part of Gizaudio channel and even occasionally upload your reviews on his channel. Now, with all this relationship and conflict of interest in mind, assessing this iem and calling it the best sub $500, raise big questions over your credibility.

[@vladlabyrinth6335]

You've already listened to them? Perhaps you had 10 hours to compare them with other models under 500$ and now you can provide arguments against that person's point of view (which are based on individual sound taste and may vary even at that level)?? If No, why the fk you wrote this crap?

[@angelocortez6757]

Sit down, bucko.

[@rafdes]

@@vladlabyrinth6335this point is moot.

[@Lost1ntheSauc3]

Did you just ignore his genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail throughout the entire review? Dave must have gone to a good acting school.

[@o_display6656]

It seems that you didn't listen to what he said in the review, but he gave his opinion accurately, explaining what he likes and what he does not like.

[@fantasian2]

I see a lot of comments regarding conflicts of interest and biases...and I agree. Not only does your affliated collab gets positive biased reviews, but credibility is lost if you can't say what could be improved with it. Or if you stop reviewing other iems in the same price range. Are you willing to say, "this other $400 (or less) iem is better"? For example, is the Simgot Supermix 4 a better buy at $150? If collaborators can't be consistent, transparent and honest, it kinda stinks. HBB, at least reviews just about everything and is consistent regardless if it's going to take away sales from his own collabs. In other words, talking about your own collabs or affiliated colab...and avoiding reviews that complete with your collab stinks. (I'm not saying that you do this Dave; it's only a general statement)

[@elimgrc1292]

You just rushed through the technical performance...no mention of how wide or depth the soundstage l, what about imaging and instrument separation....? May be is it weak ...? Why have you brushed it under the rug so fast?

[@redclaw72666]

Aww the audiophile is crying lol you people are really weird

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@rajeebdas1724]

Why are you reviewing the DaVinci?? It's like a person from Apple reviewing an Apple product! I'm not saying the DaVinci ain't good. I myself am waiting for this one. But don't review Timmy's collabs! It looks really bad.

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

Thanks for the honesty! Either way. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to check out the video. And I always appreciate engagement in the community as long as its constructive.

[@blorg8206]

I agree with the comments saying you shouldn't have "reviewed" this and especially not with absolutely no disclaimer that you are part of Gizaudio. I suspect from everything else I've seen so far that the DaVinci is a genuinely good IEM and I have both Galileo and Chopin but this "review" puts me off it, it's a net negative.

[@phetmoz]

Just wait for other reviewers.

[@Greg.Siucrazyforaudio2016]

for me it's really valuable , l can see it's no better than the Hype 4 or Pilgrim , just around or below the sa6 ultra and studio 4 level.

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

I definitely understand your position and I appreciate the honesty! Thanks for taking the time to watch anyway!

[@s18018]

we don't need the 1 min intro of you walking and sitting on couch

[@Audio-In-Reviews]

Actually, it's just so everyone can see how stinkin' cute my dog is! Studies show that people are drawn to videos with animals in them! In all seriousness, I have considered that, but most people don't seem to mind it, so I probably won't change anything for now. Thanks for the honesty, though, and thanks for watching!
