    Hello.
    Liked your video!
    My question is simple for you..
    I've mostly stayed away from Bluetooth earbuds because I don't prefer the hassle of EQing or fidgeting with different settings & going through a myriad of tweaks.
    Great for those who can!
    I've opted for wired iems because I like a no nonsense plug & play situation & hence, I spend weeks trying to figure out exactly what sort of tuning I want in an Iem.
    So keeping that in mind and seeing the price of the Dusk, how do you reckon the Dusk competes without the likes of the Performer 8 / Hype 4 / Studio 4 purely in terms of technicalities?
    Do I get my money's worth in that department?
    Because price wise ,it is directly competing against those..
    Would love to hear your opinion on this if you've tried those well regarded sets.

  • @occasionalart7597
    @occasionalart7597 2 месяца назад +1

    It's interesting how subjective this hobby is at the end of the day, I am a pretty big metalhead and I EQ all my IEMs to sound more or less exactly like the default Dusk preset judging by the graphs, and I absolutely love how the bass region sounds, different strokes for different folks I suppose.
    On another note, I might start looking towards the Quintet at this point considering how it supposedly is similarly resolving to the Dusk since I'm most likely going to run either one analogue with EQ.

      Own the P5, tried the Quintet. Without the obvious bias, I'd still get the P5.
      I find the Quintet harsh in the treble region and not as coherent. Your mileage may vary
      The only IEM within the P5's price that I would recommend / consider over is the Binary x Gizaudio Chopin

    • @blorg8206
      @blorg8206 2 месяца назад +1

      Quintet is brighter, Performer 5 is just a little less spicy in the treble. Apart from that, they are virtually identical sonically, and it's a small difference. P5 is more of a pseudo-custom resin and fits me better than the Quintet, but both fit well. Both are benchmarks around $200 and good choices.

    • @imwhatsnew

    Wow!!!! After seeing other RUclipsrs just talk and describe these IEMs with onomatopoeias (which I do understand what they mean), you explained it with clarity and straight to the point!!!!! With out the theatrics. You have earned my sub!!!!! Awesome, you should review Questyles NHB15, 1 driver but the cable has a built in DAC and is usbC. Would love to see your review. That way I can see and qualify my own hearing! 🫰🏻 You and Dave the H.A.F are ✊🏻
