I’ve been using ANC types (AirPods Pro and XM3) for years and I thought they were really good. Spent a week on reviews and decided the weight and comfort is really important to me, I get neck aches from desk work so the lightweight design sold me. And Dan Clark seems like a good guy running a legit small business, in his videos.
I love how I can hear the subtle details in vocals I couldn’t before. Like saliva, throat and breath sounds. Feels more real and human. Let’s see if I still get goosebumps after this honeymoon period.
Is FiiO K7 good enough for it? I have to turn the amp vol to 80 for it to sound satisfying. Is this usual or a sign of a weak amp?
I got the Aeon Flow 1 Closed and was thoroughly impressed with the build quality and comfort. Utterly disappointed in the sound. It was a weird thing where the sound was obviously accurate but infuriatingly lifeless. Like being at a house show where the beat never drops or the crescendo never soars.
