FAudio Mezzo LE
Wer etwas außergewöhnliches sucht, wird mit dem FAudio Mezzo in jeder Hinsicht glücklich. Der limitierte IEM ist wunderschön Top verarbeitet und bis ins kleinste Zubehör mit Liebe hergestellt. Der Klang ist detailliert, musikalisch und muss den Vergleich mit zum Teil viel teureren IEMs nicht fürchten. Im Gegenteil.
I’m ultimately very happy with the FAudio Mezzo after initial frustration trying to obtain a good seal without discomfort. This model is large on the ear, and highly tip dependent, so users should come prepared with a number of tip options or budget for aftermarket options.
The Mezzo has an overall bass/mid bass centric sound that I found a little too much with tips like the Spinfit Dual Flange cp240, these however, provided excellent isolation. Having the ability to increase the mids and highs via switches to balance out the bass is a real benefit of this design. Unexpectedly, I get a more tonally balanced sound using spherical shaped foam tips. Your mileage may vary.
Users should note that FAudio’s documentation has the switch designations reversed. Switch 1 is treble, 2 is mids, and 3 is the bass setting.
Build quality is excellent all around including the supplied cable and tank-like storage case.
If your listening preferences lean towards the lower frequencies and a warm/full sound with nice high end extension, this limited edition is worth a look.
First, a big thank you to Andrew for his patience and advices. I already own the QDC Anole VX and was looking for something new. As my budget was limited to a certain sum I finally decided to go for the Mezzo LE. Already on first audition I was blown away by the resolution, Instrument separation and huuuuge soundstage. The DD bass is phenomenal and listening with Mezzo is like being live in the studio/stage. Everything was a step better with the Athena cable. Up to now I did not try to use the tuning control. I am enjoing a lot the Mezzo, highly recommend.
The Lotoo GT2 is an amazing DAP. The treble has amazing detail and resolution, without harshness.
The midrange is less colored than LPGT, but meatier at the same time. The bass? I have never heard bass like GT2. It's a monster only biting off the perfect amount. Bass is powerful and accurate. GT2 seems to be made for my Meze 109 Pro headphones, but sounds wonderful with all. I listen balanced. This DAP underwhelmed me initially, but opens like a flower in the sun with more play time.
Lotoo GT2 maintains Lotoo neutrality with power and grace. Do not judge this DAP until you get substantial hours in. It underwhelmed me during the first several days, but is blowing every other DAP I own away now. I own Lotoo Paw Gold Touch, Lotoo Paw 6000, Sony NW-WM1Z, and Sony NW-WM1A. I listen balanced with Meze 109 Pro, Shure SRH1540, and Sennheiser HD660S2 headphones. It seems as if Meze 109 Pro is made for Lotoo GT2, but all my headphones sound phenomenal. The midrange is less colored than LPGT, but meatier. Treble is so detailed with outstanding resolution, absent harshness. The bass? Good Lord, it is a raging monster only biting off what it should. I have never heard such beautiful bass. This player isn't fully burned in. I am at about fifteen hours. I am told GT2 will get even better. I can't even imagine.
I own virtually all the TOTL iems, and I have never heard one as detailed and moving as the PMG APX SE. The bass thumps, the treble glistens, the soundstage is all over and the definition amongst instruments is the best I have heard. It is my clear favorite now.
First, I must tell that I am not an audiophile, just a music enthusiast. Owning only headphones wanted to give a try to IEMs since I am always on the go. This being my first IEM, wanted to invest in something good so after searching in this price range and reading multiple reviews, decided to go for the Softears Enigma.
Photographs don’t give enough credit; this set is gorgeous and elegant. Engaging, without being extremely striking, so I can listen to my music while I wear suit at work or jeans on the street. But, above all, the sound. Enigma just blowout my mind. Fantastic for my taste: beautifully balance, with good clarity, detail, separation and expanded soundstage. And in the center of all that, the magic of that vocal tuning. Some audiophiles find Enigma treble recessed, not for me: everything is there in the right amount and when music asks for a stronger performance, they become energetic. And add to that excellent comfort.
I pair them with iBasso DX320MAX Ti, Mojo 2 and Lotoo PAW GT2.
I am very happy with them and grateful with Andrew and his team.
Being a lover of Dita Audio products, I was intrigued by this unknown Singapore IEM. Its drivers setup looked interesting and let me overlook the shiny steampunk-like like look I am not a fan of. With the very kind and soft assistance from MusicTeck's mrs. Grace, some fine reviews of Jomo Audio products, I decided to try it.
Well it is very good. I love acoustic music, jazz classics from the '40s to' 70s mainly. This is a fine IEM on a technical revealing side of soumd. I love Nautilus detailed and airy mids and highs the most but the bass is almost perfect too, authoritative and textured. The soundstage wide and perfectly arranged. Thank you Jomo Audio (and MusicTeck for the friendly Assistance).
