Anyone face the opposite of FOMO in this hobby? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Lol. been binge watching reviews and have no idea what any of these things sound like.

Picked up a few IEMs with good reviews and have been pleasantly surprised. just got the fudu and WOW!!

Other than comfort I like them as much as my meze advar and they’re only $89. they sound totally different - not even in the same ballpark of sound. But the enjoyment I get out of each pair is equivalent, but for different reasons. I kinda wanna hear everything now.

Recently got myself a Meze 99 Neo, any tips? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I love the meze 99. I drive them out of an ifi go blu when I’m dorking around the house. They sound perfect. Even with a better DAC amp (gryphon) they don’t change enough to really care about the DAC.

Just a really really fun headphone that doesn’t fatigue much

Nope. I don’t enjoy EQ. I like to listen to things how they were intended.

Could be I don’t like them but not sure what I’m missing. I don’t think my ears are broken. Do you hear a weird compression on the high end?

Am I crazy? I heard tons of awesome reviews. I bought these almost 2 years ago and tried to like them. They have great accuracy and soundstage and have a presence better than any earbud I had heard to date (when I bought them). But they are soooo shrill on the top end I can’t listen to them.

I followed them up with the meze rai solo and found those much more easy to listen to. I’ll have to go back and compare the soundstage and clarity…

But people seem to swear by ikko… am I nuts?

what is the first headphone that fully satisfied you? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
