actually, as long as the tips are able to secure the iems in your ears, if it hovers, it is less likely to cause irritation to your ears, because there are fewer points where the iem touches your ears.
@@SuperReview one worry is that the spiral dots seem to cut down on treble; chopin with stock tips, the 8k resonance peak is slightly sharp, problem gone with spiral dots or other treble-taming tips.
Love timmy's content and am super glad how well they're received by the community. Do you have an simgot ea1000 coming up by any chance? Would love to see a comparison. Thanks for this review!
Thanks for this review! They sound great, but I hate that free floating fit feeling so I’m going to skip this. I did get the Nova and it fits me really well. I do sometimes EQ to the Hexa though...
I got 2 question: - Does the vocal texturing gets close to sth like Blessing3/Dusk? - Is the treble quality comparable to the Blessing line up? (B2 B3 and anything relevant is good)
Chopin does mid bass very well but keeps me desiring for more subbass. It's treble has noticeable BA timbre compared to Blessing2 or the pula02. Because of the grainy treble I ended up preferring the B2 with EQ, in that config the B2 sounded more high res. Unfortunately the B2 is too chunky and the nozzle has grip issues with eartips despite having the curves in the right place. Chopin nozzle is large and long with an angle not so perfect, without my favorite ear tips I could not use them for long period of time without having side ear pain. Tuning wise the Chopin has the best overall frequencies balance wwith its harman approach but lacks the extra control in the treble to sound smooth.
@@SuperReview Sorry but where is it? I didn't see any vid at all. Also given the same price, would you pick the chopin or the Aful P5? Or should I save my money and get the nova instead (considering clarity and details)?
Tested the Chopin for circa a week. It was disappointing and over-priced. The low frequencies are underwhelming for 808s, 909s, drum kits or bassist's lile Robbie Shakesspeare, John Entwhistlel etc. Tone and timbre appreated womky and lacking natural density. The piano kazz from Cameron Graves was a massive step down from the Meteor. Vocals from Bobby Womack "Pieces" LP or Leroy Hutson's "Hutson" were too forward amd exhibited shout.
Mark's been stingy with 5/5's lately, this is a nice surprise. I have no problem with collabs if they have a purpose, it seems a lot of collabs nowadays are cash grabs.
I was waiting for your review but I decided to pull the plug about three days ago. I'm glad to listen you like it so much as pretty much everything you praised highly was very much to my liking.
It's not related to the video but I'm curious. How did you measure the Meizu Live Quad measurement on the squiglink site? When I set it to harman target the sound quality is not good. I also tried it with PEQ on Hiby Music. Am I making a mistake somewhere?
Ghostly Kisses sounds like a good rec after a few songs. London Grammar and Florence + Machine have strong similarities. The song is called Lydian as in the scale.
@@SuperReview so dew it? Or no dew it? Moving/renovating can be so annoying, it's been a couple months yet I'm still sorting little details out in my new place.
The most surprising thing about this IEM was the quality of the bass. Bass tends to mix and break down easily, but I don't see many IEMs with bass of this quality.
If you can bear with the fit and can find one in stock, I'd still take the B2 If we're comparing the Chopin to the B3, I'd honestly get the Chopin. B3 is just too lean in the bass; Chopin in more well rounded in that aspect
Meh the bass and miss are good but it is too bright, treble is harsh and percussion instruments sounds very unnatural to me. In comparison to Chopin, variations or Nova are still way better. Nova is a best catch in 11.11 sale only for 127$. ❤
Really looking forward to a day where we can all get back on for a live chat. I was tired of collabs prior to dusk but still would check this out. Would you say this goes toe to toe with symphonium meteor on technical performance and that meaty bass texture?
Uhhhh it's very different from Meteor. TBH imaging is stronger on Chopin, and bass quality is probably even better, but there's something unique about the treble texturing on Meteor.
Nope it's very bad at handling percussive instruments. The upper treble is very meh and sounds plasticy. I listen to metal, rock, Jpop and anime but it failed in all. Get urself nova

@@SuperReview fun and engaging Harman, nice controlled bass and plenty of details, stage is not as big but gets the job done. It covers my two main music genres which is metal and hip-hop so I'm really happy with them, for me is a 10 out of 10.
They are very much or below average in upper treble and very bright sound not natural at all. It messes up percussion instruments. Save money and buy something good like variations or for budget iem get truthear nova for 127$
@@SuperReview yeah i don't mind the resin part and somewhat long-ish nozzle, but the faceplate i mean come on it looks weird and ugly, did they want to be the next 7hz with this faceplate shape and design (i hate every 7hz faceplate 🤣). And also the cable looks cheap and the connector doesn't flow with the shape of the faceplate, at least they could do with something like titan s where the connection are customized to flow with the iem design. I haven't tried it but im sure it's a great iem based on the graph, but i'm expecting something more from timmy after the galileo which looks f-ing amazing
For me the roll off on the sub bass is perfect. Because drums starts from 100hz and then the vibrations should be less than the frequency between 100hz . For the mid bass is perfect for a medium volume. For high volumes I will skip this iem because in high volumes the 200hz to 400 needs to be more because the mids. Upper and treble highs goes up a lot apart from what's below the 1k. So to chill. Perfect. For metal bangers with loud volumes. Nope
Hello greetings, I frequently watch your videos and now I decided to purchase a DAP and based on your experience I want to ask you which would be the best purchase among these, Shanling m3 ultra, Fiio m11s, Hiby R6-3 and Fiio M11S plus, I am looking for the best quality performance audio and stable performance in use, thank you.
Mark when you say it's better than timeless in every department you mean also in technical performance?You didn t say many things about imaging soundstage separation this time ..
Great review, Mark! You think Chopin treble trades blows against Sony XBA N3's? If I remember correctly, you liked the treble on N3. I personally love my set and am looking for something that has more upper midrange but with similar treble quality. Would really appreciate your answer.
Nice review! You have always emphasised the fit and comfort in almost all of your reviews which many other completely miss, it is an important factor for me in deciding if i buy an IEM or not, on that line, which iem do you think fits you the best (including side sleeping) under 50$? Thank in advance :)
Hm, nothing fits me very standout under $50, maybe LAN because it's small. I am reviewing the $65 Moondrop May right now, it's the best-fitting IEM under $100.
Looking to get some IEMs strictly for live performance. All I've used before are the Shure E215 and CCA-C12. Oh and along time ago (like late 00s earl 2010s) some shures as well that had no detachable shells/cables or adjustable. These seem pretty interesting to me. As do the Moondrop S8 and the kinda lavas. Have about a 750 budget. Can go up a bit but rather not. Any recommendations for something in that price range that'll be pleasing for live performance? I suppose mainly flat with some nice low end and smooth highs.
I do think I find it more consistent, yeah. Dusk probably still has an advantage in vocal resolution, but bass and treble are better executed here IMO.
It's more or less even. I have the P5 and tried the Chopin; Chopin is more exciting in the midrange but a little thinner; otherwise, they're pretty similar
@@SuperReview thank you for taking the time to respond. I was expecting that answer, especially about the tuning. Would it be too daring to ask vs S8, where the tuning is more similar, but of course the price gap is so big?
so compared to the hexa, you previously cited the SIMGOT EM6L as having better stereo separation (or wideness / 3d / being more like the sounds are coming from outside of the head, more like headphones). so the commentary i found missing here in the review was this comparison stereo or air-iness aspect. (relative to those other 2, and the dusk, but i am probably confusing between my terms here). but you have sound stage front-back (in front of you, which can be a bit of a reberb thing). then there is the inside-outside of the head. and the lateral wideness. all phsycoacoustics things
I'm really curious to hear Binary Acoustics' other stuff. Saw only one other on Squiglink, it looks... like it could use work. aftersound.squig.link/?share=BINARYACOUSTIC_VOID
@@John.Christopher female vocal and some instruments sound weird. Seems like it's due to lack of upper mid range. It's just a little bit more clear truthear zero og.
@@Yon_Germ "lack of upper mid range", said to a clearly harman-like tuning. I guess your choices are quite limited then; zero OG, the nova, and the variations. not many else.

Hello sir i really admire yiur detailed reviews . Its intrucate and very informative. I am a vocalist from india . I perform on stage regularly . What would be ideal iem for stafe performance as a vocalist ? Thanks .looking forward to your reply .good day
@@SuperReview thanks a lot sir . I would look into those . I have also shortlisted a few pls do suggest in choosing amongst hidizs mp 145, kiwi ears quintet ,giz audio chopin and simgot ea 1000 . From the stage performance point of view I am looking at choosing something that brings out the maximum details and instrument separation. Thanks again in advance .
I am not a stage performer, but I would think the #1 factor to consider is fit stability -- I'd want something stable that I don't have to re-position mid performance. Honestly that would take priority over things like instrument separation, which seems pretty pedantic in that use case. Quintet fit stability is good, Chopin is mid, and EA 1000 is weak. Haven't tried the Hidizs.
Iam really excited about Your review of Chopin❗️Thank you BTW just listening to my Timeless just on Hiby FC4 … the slam is sooo satisfying hard to say how many versions of Timeless is out there😊🙋♂️

Yep, I get it.
@rokiesenseifoams have the best fit because they offer the most grip. Best silicon tips for fit imo are xelastics bc they're sticky.
@rokiesenseidivinus velvet is really good, for me at least

One comparison I'm curious about is kiwiears' quintet, they're just 20 bucks apart and I absolutely love mine

How does it compare to the kiwi ears quintet? Which do you prefer?
I prefer Chopin, better timbre, physicality.
Is the Chopin gonna be an issue if I don’t like the fit of the nozzle on the blessing 2 dusk?
Not necessarily, the Blessing 2 is much larger at the earn canal entrance than the Chopin. At the end of the nozzle they're about the same.
The more I head about the chopin, more I'm interested.
Don't buy em, the upper treble region is too harsh and bright. Save more and go for moondrop variations or get truthear Nova for 127$.

What's interesting to you and why?
This vs the Hexa which one do you like more?
Chopin is considerably better in the technical performance. Tonal balance differences will vary by my mood / what I'm listening to.
Really? Better than Dusk?
I do think I find it more consistent, yeah. Dusk probably still has an advantage in vocal resolution, but bass and treble are better executed here IMO.

I prefer the Chopin, more physicality behind it, the Performer 5 is impressively smooth but a little unengaging.

It's more or less even. I have the P5 and tried the Chopin; Chopin is more exciting in the midrange but a little thinner; otherwise, they're pretty similar
Wish the nozzle was small

it is not sho-pahn to begin with. the French "in" is pronounced with a nasalized "eh" as in "head", not a nasalized "ah".
You liked it better than B2D - how about vs B2OG?
I prefer the tuning of original Blessing, but they do different things.
@@SuperReview thank you for taking the time to respond. I was expecting that answer, especially about the tuning. Would it be too daring to ask vs S8, where the tuning is more similar, but of course the price gap is so big?
so compared to the hexa, you previously cited the SIMGOT EM6L as having better stereo separation (or wideness / 3d / being more like the sounds are coming from outside of the head, more like headphones). so the commentary i found missing here in the review was this comparison stereo or air-iness aspect. (relative to those other 2, and the dusk, but i am probably confusing between my terms here). but you have sound stage front-back (in front of you, which can be a bit of a reberb thing). then there is the inside-outside of the head. and the lateral wideness. all phsycoacoustics things
I think stereo width on the Chopin is average, but depth is better than average, and overall imaging definition is quite good.
@@SuperReviewso imagining and details lot better than Aria atleast right?
Eh its a harman
But *warm*
Alright, I haven't even finished the video, but it's on its way 🎉 Thanks again Mark for spending my money 🤑
Forgive me!
@@SuperReview Never! But actually: Always! At least it gives me something to look forward to while I deal with COVID 😞
Woof, sorry to hear. I'm just getting over something I caught while traveling to the East Coast. No fun, but there is an end.
Timmy has a winner here. Happy for him
I'm really curious to hear Binary Acoustics' other stuff. Saw only one other on Squiglink, it looks... like it could use work. aftersound.squig.link/?share=BINARYACOUSTIC_VOID
It's meh
I'm really disappointed with this iem. Couldn't feel this is better than truthear zero og.
What were the downsides for you?
@@John.Christopher female vocal and some instruments sound weird. Seems like it's due to lack of upper mid range. It's just a little bit more clear truthear zero og.
@@Yon_Germ "lack of upper mid range", said to a clearly harman-like tuning. I guess your choices are quite limited then; zero OG, the nova, and the variations. not many else.
@@haomingli6175 you've listed my favorites
I’m with you on the Hexa. I’m with you on the HD600, and I’m with you on Ghostly Kisses Lydian (that one I just discovered from this video). I’m SURE I’ll be with you on the Chopin…. Eventually.
🤙
Blessing 3 or Chopin?
Both have different strengths. Chopin has broader appeal, B3 more of a midrange specialist.
B3 has much better fit.
Hello sir i really admire yiur detailed reviews . Its intrucate and very informative. I am a vocalist from india . I perform on stage regularly . What would be ideal iem for stafe performance as a vocalist ? Thanks .looking forward to your reply .good day
Moondrop Blessing 2 or 3 perhaps.
@@SuperReview thanks a lot sir . I would look into those . I have also shortlisted a few pls do suggest in choosing amongst hidizs mp 145, kiwi ears quintet ,giz audio chopin and simgot ea 1000 . From the stage performance point of view I am looking at choosing something that brings out the maximum details and instrument separation. Thanks again in advance .
I am not a stage performer, but I would think the #1 factor to consider is fit stability -- I'd want something stable that I don't have to re-position mid performance. Honestly that would take priority over things like instrument separation, which seems pretty pedantic in that use case. Quintet fit stability is good, Chopin is mid, and EA 1000 is weak. Haven't tried the Hidizs.
@@SuperReview thanks a lot for your prompt reply and suggestion 😊cheers .good day
Iam really excited about Your review of Chopin❗️Thank you BTW just listening to my Timeless just on Hiby FC4 … the slam is sooo satisfying hard to say how many versions of Timeless is out there😊🙋♂️
I would love to see more measurements with different tips, especially foam tips to compare them to regular silicone tips.
Oh dear... considering that my preferences are mighty close to yours, it does look like I might have to buy another IEM. Especially at the price. Thanks, Super... 😒
🤣
I take no responsibility for your actions.
@@SuperReview Absolutely. A comment in jest only. I'm responsible for my actions.
If you listen to Ghostly Kisses, tho, I am responsible for that.
Bro don't waste ur money and buy something better.
@@nizukaid3389 👍🏻 I've got several IEMs I like already. This is something that could be a little different still vs what I have.
Very conchable says I!
Why I say I say
@@SuperReview What would you say, what would you do,
if your Moondrop Dusk got stuck in glue?
And when Bad Boy came to take it away,
what would you do, what would you say?
@@GadZookzSing it, sister.
@@SuperReview Had to sub in Bad Boy because Crinacle has too many syllables.
Do they make a wired/wireless version?
Galileo was awful. It lacks of emotion, coherency. The first and the last collab I will want to hear from Timy "every tumbnail in my channel must have a crown" Vangtan.
