I love the case, i take out the foam and use it as a Amp / DAP case, but yeah i agree with the color scheme... if only it's in red or gold!!

[@_-Z-]

I have both and I like both about equally for different reasons. I like my bass and the Heyday takes some of the bass away from the og but it's a tradeoff because it offers better clarity and still has a great bass response (there's also the modular cable and better build to consider). I think either are a outstanding option for treble sensitive folks like myself that are in the market for a planar. Thank you for the nice comparison! 👍

[@Weareonenation303]

These have a very soft presentation to my ears. Well balanced with good resolution and separation, but lacks excitement.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Yes, I agree they are a bit dull.

[@club2772]

Sounds like this is a good default set, the main fallback where others would be fatiguing as a main.

[@chrismarko9957]

Agree with your review.... I find I keep going back to the S12 pro, timeless, and eternal for more fun factor.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

You and me both! In hindsight, I should have added the S12 Pro in the comparison too.

[@MK-ro7ee]

@@PrimeAudioReviews here i can get the s12 pro a 100$ cheaper. I should get the s12 pro right?

[@ElNINETEENTH]

Would those work with an iPhone ?

[@Spike626721]

Thank you for the Video! Will you test the new moondrop lan?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Yes, soon

[@fiddlix]

I have both, the OG Wu and the Heyday. I much prefer the Heyday by a long shot. The taming of the sub bass and taming the pinna gain let’s the mid-bass and the lower mids much more impactful. Plus Heyday has a polish or sheen to the sound signature that I personally find addicting. 😊YMMV as well as your preferences.

[@ElNINETEENTH]

Would those work with iPhones ?😊

[@fiddlix]

@@ElNINETEENTH planars need more power. Sorry.

[@ElNINETEENTH]

@@fiddlix what do you mean they need more power I don’t understand???

[@fiddlix]

@@ElNINETEENTH you will need a decent dongle to get the most out of any planar. It’s too much to explain over text. Do your research on google.

[@paratoxik922]

​@@ElNINETEENTHyou need to use a dac like the fiio ka1, because planars require a lot of power to sound decently loud

[@borgymon]

If you’re looking to use a dac/EQ like the Qudelix would it matter which planar you went with? It seems like if you could tune out issues you would want the most comfortable/aesthetically pleasing? Any thoughts?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

EQ can work to a certain degree but it can't mimick technical performance.

[@mysteriousstranger332]

What do you think of these compared to the Mangird Tea ? My Tea broke and Im searching for a new IEM :-)

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

The Tea is airier and has a larger soundstage. It has drier mids but better note definition. I think if you're looking for more body and upfront presentation the Heyday will work. If you want something a little closer to the Tea sound consider the Letshuoer S12 Pro or the Timeless.

[@mysteriousstranger332]

@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you

[@ryuhayabusa3540]

How is the fit in ear? That's really important. Is it easy on the ear?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Very comfortable, just like the original model.

[@millenmarbun24]

would you recommend this heyday or the aful performer 5?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I haven't heard the Performer 5 yet.

[@holehelo1797]

Hi, thank you for the review. I know they are in different price brackets, but how would you compare the Heyday to the HBB Olina SE?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Olina SE has less bass and brighter upper midrange. Heyday is more resolving but has softer/rounder attacks.

[@cmdalbem]

Which is which in the frequency response chart?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Heyday is the red one.

[@bruno_mart]

Im guessing none of these are an obvious step up from an S12 right? What’s the next clear step up in your opinion?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

To be honest, there's not much stuff better until you get into the $300+ range. But most of the stuff I've been getting lately is $200 and under or over $400. There's nothing that comes to mind at the moment until higher up like the Meze ADVAR or Earsonics ONYX. However, I will finally be going to CanJam again next month and after that will have a much more updated list.

[@bruno_mart]

@@PrimeAudioReviews been recommended the Tea2. Think that’s one?

[@zacgarcia7164]

How is it for guitar players?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

It would be fine for that so long as you give it enough power.

[@Vikval5329]

Great Comparison. I'll stay with my Tangzu Zetian Wu until a another updated Tangzu

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Can't wait to hear the next one!

[@johnmountford8739]

Are they good for rock / metal 🤔

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Yes, but the original model is still better.

[@emmanuelmwanzia]

Suggestions for Hi Res Audio IEMs under $50 please

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

KZ ZS10 Pro X, 7Hz Zero, Kiwi Ears Caldera, Tin Hifi C3.

[@emmanuelmwanzia]

@@PrimeAudioReviews 👍

[@emmanuelmwanzia]

@@PrimeAudioReviews i believe that was supposed to be Kiwi Ears Cadenza

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Lol yeah

The original is better plus it's cheaper.

[@epicmike3915]

HBB is played out already. He comes out with his version of the same IEM too often. People need to stop supporting this garbage. Companies are getting lazy.
