Increadibly beautiful~ Shame these pair have a bit of a channel imbalance~ I do seriously wonder how the older TOTLs compare as well as modern offerings from FiiO

[@GrumpiestKitten]

I only like earbuds with a hanger like the ATH-EC707/Creative Aurvana Air or my personal favorite, the earset 3 / A8 from B&O which I have used extensively in the office. Every normal earbud just won't stay in my ears :(

[@GREQReviews]

I'd like to try some of those out one day, especially the A8.

Yeah I can use iems and tws, but flatheads are a nightmare for me lol.

[@Hijynx87]

Oh that channel imbalance isn’t too bad, still sucks though. Also it could just be your mini dsp, flatheads are a b to measure.

[@GREQReviews]

Unfortunately it's the earbuds. I can hear a small imbalance, and both buds were measured on the same side of the miniDSP, with a DIY foam mount (at 5:34) that I made to make earbud measurements easier and far more reliable than the silicone ones supplied with the EARS. With that piece of foam I get insane consistency, and more accurate graphs compared to the EARS.
