Gizaudio at SIAS 2024: Exclusive Feat. Moondrop, Crinacle, SuperReview, FiiO & More!

[@namedkenn]

Such an honor to be featured in the channel! Thanks for the opp (I was very nervous haha) But still very very glad we met, Axel 😆

[@Gizaudio]

The honor is all ours, Kenneth! Thanks so much for being a part of it. I know we were a bit short on time, but you really did great. It was great meeting you, and we’re so happy to have had you on the channel 🙌 Hope we get to do it again sometime soon!

[@studynowPH]

When to review more IEMs Ken?

[@namedkenn]

@@studynowPH haha I got a ton in line for review, I just have to push myself to actually make them vids 😆🙌 But don't worry I'll really deliver them this year!

[@namedkenn]

@@Gizaudio yeah time was super tight but I enjoyed every second of it still! Hope we could meet again soon 🔥

[@donglemadness]

It is an honor and absolute pleasure to know you in person. I hope we can meet again sometime in the future 🙏

[@TheVeganVicar]

I look forward to meeting BOTH you and Axel at the next CanJam Singapore, assuming we are all present there.

[@Gizaudio]

The honor and pleasure are mine! I truly enjoyed our time together Andy, and I hope we can meet again soon as well 🙏.

[@Gizaudio]

@@TheVeganVicar Let's make it happen. 😀 I would love to meet you guys.

[@marumaru5480]

I admit i'm super interested in Moondrop Concerto, but having no interchangeable cable on a 330 usd IEM puts me a bit off.

[@RinaSheepdog]

Nature of xmems

[@Gizaudio]

I guess it's due to the xMEMS driver.

[@0dibi]

Axel, I’m truly honored to have appeared on your channel. It was such an absolute pleasure to meet you. We're still nearby, so I hope we get the chance to meet again soon! 😎😎

[@Gizaudio]

The honor and pleasure are mine! I hope we can meet again soon Lucas 🙏.

[@miscwork-qb7pd]

Great quality footage and B-roll, I can see why Timmy chose you for Gizaudio. Keep up the good work!

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks. 🙂

[@SuperReview]

Great meeting in person Axel 🤙

[@Gizaudio]

It was awesome meeting you too, Mark! 🤙

[@dragrosethezeroth1450]

Was hoping there would be a cheap budget desktop DAC with dual CS43131. We need well measuring desktop DACs under $50!

[@SSlhouser]

I agree man, its either dongle or 50$ or more dac, i want something like the chu 2 but for dacs.

[@Gizaudio]

Yeah, I didn’t come across any budget desktop DACs at the event. In that price range, the most common choices tend to be something like a dongle or a DAC/Amp like the TOPPING DX1.

[@renatobdc]

I'm most interested in the Truthear Pure, the new hexa

[@bozardo101]

Me too because I REALLY like the Hexa (personally)

[@Gizaudio]

If you loved the Hexa, you're going to really enjoy the Pure since it's an upgrade and improvement over the Hexa.

[@Marc_dd]

@@Gizaudiocould you elaborate on what you feel it improves on? The two features that stick out (in terms of needing improvement) are the bass and a peak or two in the treble.

[@Gizaudio]

@@Marc_dd Better fit, better bass, and smoother treble.

[@valentin3186]

Truthear could name a TWS set Blue 2

[@Gizaudio]

Yeah.

[@TheVeganVicar]

Axel, this is the second SIAS review I've seen today, but have yet to see a single CanJam SoCal, for some reason. The DITA Project M, like most earphones, is highly tip-dependent. With the FiiO HS18, they sound almost like a basshead set.

[@Gizaudio]

I believe it will take some time for people to head home, prepare their footage, and post their videos. I agree with you about the ear tips and the DITA Project M. When I went to listen to it, I expected it to sound bright, but I was surprised that the bass slam and quantity were the first things I noticed. The unit I tried had a really impressive amount of quality bass.

[@tuliobenavides301]

Hey there (: Do the MOCAs have "takeover" multi-point connection? Or do they just "remember" the last bluetooth device used before and when you turn off the current one, it searches for the last used and connects to it?

[@Gizaudio]

I'm not sure as I didn't test that feature.

[@tuliobenavides301]

@@Gizaudio ok! thanks man :) are u gonna do a review video on them?

[@Gizaudio]

@@tuliobenavides301 I'm not completely sure, but I think so.

[@AliR03]

Is concerto more technical than b3 and dusk?

[@Gizaudio]

I’ll need to compare them side by side to give you an accurate answer.

[@vivianmason8867]

Based on the graph the Tanchjim Prism looks really interesting to me. I don't have a Tanchjim set yet, may pick up the Prism.

[@Gizaudio]

The Prism was impressive.

[@Laminar-Flow]

18:23 Question: I bought Truthear Hexas last week. Really like them for the price and were my first IEM’s over $40. I can still return them, though. When are the pures coming out?

[@Gizaudio]

They said the Pure will be released this year.

[@Deletehead]

I’m so sad the Kadenz ended up being $190 instead of the $140 some places were reporting.

[@Gizaudio]

Perhaps there are versions without the USB-C cable that are cheaper. Just a thought!

[@Spike626721]

Thinking about the truthear pure just don't know if it will fit my small ears since may is my shell size limit and nova was too big and had pressure (don't know if nozzle was too long too) that I had to send it back. Also the Bluetooth one from tanchjim looks interesting as well like the cato successor. Waiting rn for the hiby Evangelion and tanchjim luna limited dongle to arive tho now I need to save money bevor buying new stuff 😅 Last concert was expensive too 🤣

[@Gizaudio]

I was really impressed with the Truthear Pure. The fit was much better for my ears than the Nova, and the earpieces are smaller, which I liked. As for the Bluetooth TWS from Tanchjim, it will support the Tanchjim app. I’m not sure if that means it’ll have EQ options, but if it does, that would be awesome!

[@gregoriblens7756]

nice video, i am a big fan from Brazil, waiting for a interview with Leonardo from the channel Mind the Headphone, love u guys

[@Gizaudio]

Oh man, Leonard, from Mindtheheadphone, is such a great guy. I spent most of the three days at the show with him, going from booth to booth and discussing our impressions. Leonard and I even filmed interviews with other reviewers together (he was behind the camera next to me) and he helped me. Unfortunately, I forgot to interview Leonard in the end. 😢

[@guillermobrito4987]

great video, waiting for that BTR17, greeting from Colombia

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks! 👍

[@danrdey]

Hey dude , thanx for the overview . Which one is the best for tech death that you heard on the show overall ? And which one is more suitable between Monndrop , the Kadenz or Concerto ?

[@Gizaudio]

You're welcome! For me, the Moondrop Concerto was the best and is definitely the one to beat. The bass is amazing. You can really hear the kick drums and feel their full impact, plus there's tons of detail and resolution. The highs are nice and crisp, and the vocal clarity is just fantastic. Honestly, there's a huge difference between the Kadenz and the Concerto. I compared them side by side, and the Concerto is on a whole other level!

[@ad3i672]

Great prepared material, you can feel the great quality, I haven't seen such a well-executed report in a long time. Really great work!

[@Gizaudio]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@Mastermnd1]

Great video. Seems like I will be upgrading my beloved btr15 with the btr17!

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks!

[@hunteer963]

Very well covered bro!! Thanks for this video

[@Gizaudio]

No problem 👍

[@Musicophile-p5l]

Does the Moca has the same shells as kuroneko? It doesn't fit me well 😢

[@Gizaudio]

I’m not really sure, I've never tried the Kuroneko.

[@saucyg6371]

Anything with Xmems? Im interested to see how the tech is utilized

[@Gizaudio]

Yes, there were a few, but the best was the Moondrop Concerto, a Planar+xMEMS hybrid IEM.

[@bithalver]

It takes more than an hour to consume the info in this video. Big thx !

[@dreddguy6454]

Crikey. It's like a who's who of the IEM world.

[@Gizaudio]

What is Crikey?

[@mr.garibaldi6044]

Thanks for this video. Felt like we were there with you.

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks, that's exactly what I was aiming for. 🙂

[@amirfakhribadri7994]

Joyce who this girl exactly I suddenly discovered didn't know it 😂😂😅.

[@Lead_Foot]

I want the BTR17 just for the aptX lossless support. My phone happens to be one of the like 4 models sold in the US that supports aptX lossless and their BT11 transmitter supports it too. If the new UTWS5 replacement supports it too then I'll be so happy.

[@Gizaudio]

What phone do you use?

[@Lead_Foot]

Rog phone 7. It does have a 3.5mm jack but I'd like the freedom to walk away from the phone. I've definitely forgotten my iems were plugged in and accidentally dragged my phone off the counter a couple times. Asus zenfone, oneplus flagships, and Redmagic are the only other models I can think of that licensed the codec. So many devices have the right hardware for it but never licensed it. Sony xperia phones support aptX lossless as well but they decided to leave the US market this year.

[@Mr_Zomby]

I am looking for an iem around $50 which i will use for more than 2 years. Should i wait for any new iem which is better than present iems.

[@Gizaudio]

There are plenty of excellent IEMs available at this price point and even lower. The Moondrop Chu 2 and Tangzu Wan'er are just a couple of examples. If you're a fan of Harman tuning, the Truthear Zero Blue 2 with the impedance adapter is tough to beat.

[@Mr_Zomby]

@@Gizaudio i have used tangzu waner and GATE but looking for more exciting sound and comfortable so i increased my budget to 50 dollars

[@golammortazashaad9887]

Let's go truthhear zero blue 2 🎉

[@Gizaudio]

Let's go.

[@hungerxhunger]

interested in that cd player and the moondrop concerto

[@Gizaudio]

👍

[@enafryn]

I have pre-ordered MOCA. I really want to try it soon.😊

[@Gizaudio]

I hope you really like it! For the price, I think it's a fantastic TWS, and the bass profiles really cover a lot of different preferences, which is awesome.

[@enafryn]

@@Gizaudio I enjoyed Space Travel and I think I would have enjoyed MOCA too. Unfortunately, I discovered the brand a few years too late. I missed out on trying Nekocake and Golden Ages 1979 was too expensive for me.
