Symphonium Audio Helios Review - The Brightest Kilobuck Star in IEMs

[@Wingedmagician]

Great review. Looking forward to buying this or the ier m9 one day.

[@keithb5612]

Hey.. Thanks for the review. This iem might not be the best fit for my ears unfortunately. Regarding fit and audio quality comparison do you prefer the U12t or Mest Mark III? Thanks

[@Thomasho110]

I have the Mest Mark II.. I prefer the U12t because the Mest is too big for my ears unfortunately

[@IndieGameDevRemakes]

I might buy it over the U12T as I was told it has some nice bass for a BA

[@shenzai1347]

Looks neat 👍

[@danielsandoval8345]

He replaced his Adromedas with those; I bought those Andromedas...wow! Never thought that would be a sentence I would comment on those channel!

[@FedericoSala]

tbh i really fell in love to andro 2020....i prefered them over u6t and 660s and dt1990...I'm prolly gonna send them back and get the solstice.

[@nickpelayo3172]

@@FedericoSala don't get the solsistce. It sounds very different from the andro

[@FedericoSala]

@@nickpelayo3172 weird..cause other people said the exact opposite....any personal experience?

[@nickpelayo3172]

@@FedericoSala I have seen graphs on Head-fi and they graph very different. I'm just saying if you like the 2020 just stay there. I love my andro SS. It fits a lot of my needs

[@FedericoSala]

@@nickpelayo3172 sadly right ear andro doesnt fit perfectly thats why i wanna try custom

Would you guys review the Fiio M11 Limited if one was sent in to you? It’s seriously the first *good* DAP I’ve tried.

[@davidsmithson9236]

Did you get an accommodation, or did you pay the full retail price?

[@digitalnation2876]

Great, how about the fit? I have a small/medium ears, much love from Indonesia, ♥♥♥♥♥

[@Precogvision]

Fit is very dependent on the end-user, but I would avoid this IEM if you have smaller ears (or at the very least, they will stick out some).

[@paulosilva8200]

For me a perfect iem would be a 13mm dd beryllium driver.when they too small they predict thin sounds that are not great. Then from 100 to 500hz a 3mm dd. From 600hz to 4k a planar driver. Then balanced driver from 5k to 9k and then an est for the presence to end. Funny that most company's never speak about what model is the drivers when Knowles drivers are around 35 from 8 dollars a piece to 100 dollars per unit. Thats when stage and image comes in. Unless you build chamber partitions and use dd crystal liquid and copper balanced drivers like Sony does. Then image can be great.

[@paulosilva8200]

Well. Mid bass is an important part for the bass guitar. Bass guitar always should be on top on the low guitar strings so the drums comes first,then bass and then guitar. You play one stroke with all this 3 and the reference point should sounds like 1 and then decaying. All new metal.jazz.rock is based and recorded in this way on a daw. When I hear iem that the mid bass or bass is below the guitar point of referee for me they a waste of my money. Every recording is based on the same level. Other factor. Beryllium coated drivers they show you on the grafs a good graf on the mid bass and you can't hear them. Reason, hard coating makes the fz between 100 to 500hz hard to drive.

[@jaroslavfricek7772]

Great… I love how you love them… I get them if… only because of it…😆♥️

[@cbomb1723]

Bigger than the Monarch?

[@paulosilva8200]

Other topic. When I heard the tone from reviews. They should mentions a few things. What volume. Because low volume I want more highs and mids. When I play loud I want to be backwards. Then of a phone can power them. Loads of reviews they use that iem on phones. I never did. Prefer a dap. But most of them do. People buy planar iem. Etymotic tp find out that the volume sucks . Thanks

[@jaroslavfricek7772]

Why do you think Mark gave it 3stars...and S8 5 stars...✌️ 😁

[@TheHEADPHONEShow]

Resolve here, the S8 is impressively detailed but it's also too shouty for me. I'd take the Helios for sure.

[@jaroslavfricek7772]

I'm the strange one who loves SSR😆...talking shout...but the Helios...something magical I feel...the one who gets the combo with ifi blue...lucky men...beautiful ♥️ ✌️🍀

[@sit-ubu-sit...]

There's no ear wire? Well that's a shame!

[@kylerclarke2689]

No DD, bummer. Been searching high and low for a cheaper (and better fitting) Z1R alternative. Cough up that Monarch review >:( Appreciate your hard work

[@gordonfreeman4491]

The build looks VERY cheap, so they better sound good.

[@paulosilva8200]

I have no idea what Singapore things when comes to pricing iem. They never cheap did not like the graf. No mid bass. And the pick at 8 k when I like them to go I'm opposite direction because gives that rumble on the drums snares that sounds natural .

[@iNViSiBiLiTi]

8khz is usually a coupler resonance from the measurement rig, and does not usually appear irl. You can't really trust the graph after that point since insertion depth affects frequency response.

[@paulosilva8200]

@@iNViSiBiLiTi total agree. Like beryllium drivers. The grafs are correct in the sub bass ,but then on mid bass they show but they not there.

Didn't like this.

[@karolkedzierski5824]

The Brightest Kilobuck Star in IEMs is the Monarch Mk2, these come second.

[@mrfrosty3]

I saw a review of these a few months ago on KZbin, it is an unusually ugly looking earphone.

[@Precogvision]

The Helios was released a couple *weeks* ago, but I agree the aesthetic could use work haha.

@@Precogvision Madness... this aesthetic is perfect for me :D
