You're doing this to stay ahead of the game in front of Linus, and I respect it!

[@nwananka]

Crin understands all this better than Linus and his team. Also He will always be ahead because Linus has more things he does not audiophile related.

[@8lec_R]

Linus is kind of a dumb audiophile. No offense to Linus btw, I'm using dumb as a descriptive term not as an insult. But he spends most of his time being enamoured by tech and will only bother to understand it if he needs to fix something. This means he will get sidetracked and will stop looking into a particular subject and move onto another. This has resulted in him having some very big gaps in his knowledge on certain topics/somehow ltt has managed to slip past a lot of misinformation about audio on accident, repeatedly. I would not trust Linus on audio. Unless it's a simple observation like, soundstage is wide or bass is nice.

[@h_enrix_92]

So when will you update your IEMs ranking?

[@ariathyf144]

A little recap of what to expect from the new database would have been nice, graph peoples said we cannot trust FR past 8K due to error margins and the nature of the freq at that region. What would make the new database more reliable? Your "Linus wasted 50k" video goes in depth with the history of the norms for measurements, its quite lengthy for what we are asking about here.

[@ignacio9151]

Gizaudio explains in one recent video that the treble region changes by how the IEM fits in you ear canal.

[@petertalalight7340]

How did you manage to spend 1k on a BNC cable?

[@aruraru6644]

Your reviews helped me to choose a great pair of headphones. The Sennheiser IE 40 PRO look like they are some of the most neutral sounding headphones in your frequency response graph and they sound impressively similar to the EVE SC 207 audio monitors at lower volume, which are almost 9 times more expensive than the IE 100 PRO headphones, which have the same speakers and only a different cable and connections in comparison to the IE 40 PRO. I wonder how their graph will look with the new microphones. I think they are promising.

Thanks for doing an unboxing video for this. It’ll be interesting to see how the market is effected by this. Hopefully it’ll result in better tuned equipment but there’s still the problem of ~75% of an IEM/headphones quality being judged by frequency response alone without taking into account how, or even if, the tuning process effects the drivers performance (that’s a not so vailed hint for people to start measuring more than FR. At least in a decade or so once you’ve got your database updated).
