Adam T8v _(Z Reviews)_ The Audiophile One 

Hey Z , how do I find out I won a bid on one of those IEMS's ?

@@Dan.a.k.a.bradpitt He says in the video about the yardsale if you win he will email you. If you are not the winner no notification

What do you like better zmf aeolus or verite closed back.

@@isaiahmccabe2599 Depends on mood. But probably VC

@@ZReviews what about the verite closed vs aeolus vs auteur vs klipsch hp3.

Amen!

that's a good scene baby

hahaha, I was thinking the same

Do the 7s have any Hiss?

@@remshawmusiek7565 no hiss, i own the t7v's and t10s. Best in there price range

@fu J I went to a music store and listent to many monitors. Adam audio was for me the best at this price range. Their highs and mids are just amazing and their overall sound is very neutral. I use the t10s because the music genre im into ( techno, house ). The bass of the t7v is good enough bur for techno and house you want to hear the low end a bit more so i have more an idea how it sounds in a club or big place.

@fu J T8v's i haven't been able to listent yet. Only what a friend has told me. T10s go's a bit lower than T8v's. But T8v's are very very good overall. I think best is if you listent to them yourself in a music store.

@fu J every room is different. So placement is something you should find out yourself. There a much video's you can find about it. I don't use a foot switch but it can be used for the T10s.

that is one way to put it. There are other smaller speakers that do bass coming up but I accept your analogy.

@@ZReviews smaller speakers that do bass you say? I'm interested...

@@lawlerzwtf S3000Pro

I was aparently not alone looking for not natural speakers ;)

@Laggmonstret Bass is love, bass is life.

same

They are better than the R3s?

@@AkilJacob The R3 is a better speaker from the mid and treble up. They have a more layered soundstage compared to the Adam but the Adam let me ditch the sub with their bigger fuller sound. They were close enough in performance and allowed me to eliminate a bunch of components so it's a win.

Do they sound good enough in low volumes?

I like how you are thinking. I got the 7" for my desk.

Hey, how are you finding them for monitoring use at a desk? I'm producing house music and my production mentor said get the Adam T7Vs or the T8Vs, if I can afford to go up. I intend to use them at my desk in a 3 x 4 meter room (with my desk and monitor stands off the wall of course), most YT review content recommends just the T7Vs for monitoring at a desk in a small-medium room, some have even claimed that T8Vs are only for large rooms. My mentor has said that's not the case. I wanna go by what he says because he's very knowledgable (also Ableton certified and makes M4L devices etc, very clever guy), but I just need to be absolutely sure before going out and taking the plunge.. Any feedback on your experience would be greatly appreciated. :)

It sounds like it brought you a lot of joy! Build them again, better this time! And put them in a safer place :D

That is probably also true but the shape still changed and will effect the cone dispersion.

Your Review on the Drop Beyer Dyn's sold me. now they are my go to Headphones

Makes sense.

My Girl would yell. *You're and RU-vidrs. And thank you.

IS THAT A THING!?!

Dude, please do let us know what your thoughts are once you receive them, I've been torn between m5a and m3aMKII for months now, plus I can't find a single review for m5a's, I live in Shenzhen where the m3a's cost around 500$ while m5a's are around 1000$, I'm wondering if doubling the price is justified.

@@midnightsnakeoil6075 well you should have much better access to them than I will.. Their US distribution is terrible and the Rona virus has completely F'd their supply chain. Their sales team says it should be shipping to the US any month now.

I was torn between the A3X's and T8V's since the price is so close, I would love zeos's opinion on the 3's but after watching this I'm pretty glad I bought the A3X's to mix on.

@@ericpiil1518 I have the A3Xs too, although I just enjoy music on them (I don't make music). I'd like to hear Z's opinion on them as well, they are so overlooked in the AX series, it's all about the A7X and A5X it seems. Love my 3s though, but I have a subwoofer to match them with too.

@fu J there was no t8v at the Time. And given You use sub i wouldnt buy them just because you cut everything under 85hz anyway. I would pick t5v and sub Instead of anything Else now. But. If you dont plan sub and have big table then maybe those t8v may work.

Bro, they are sick.. And he is hella on point on 93% what he is talking about xD

​@@vrobert94 He gets a cut from every purchase made through that link, a big incentive to hype the products he reviews. Usually a good review system follows a Gaussian distribution system where only 5% of products get a score above 9/10 and 5% gets 1/10 - the rest of everything sits somewhere in the middle. This system puts every product ever in reference and only products that deserve a good score will stand out. Zeos' reviews are 95% positive and only some are negative. This inherently poses 2 problems: no exact reference to how much better or worse compared to the rest of the stuff he reviewed and if 95% of the products he review are "best, top shit ever, go buy these asap" his opinion becomes devalued by the amount of times he said these opinions across all of his reviews. However, it is true that Zeos' way of reviewing is more of an entertainment than informative and I'm sure having to been listening to countless of different products he has a wider understanding. Still, every person has a bias on what kind of sound they prefer. For more educated reviews that has objectively better scoring system, check out Crinacle or Audio Science Review. Edit: I'd also like to add that while reviewers (not just Zeos) gets products sent to make a review - and they usually say "no money involved, they just want my honest opinion" the products that get sent to the reviewers has already been paid for, they show up on the businesses balance sheet under marketing expenses. Therefore, a product being sent to a reviewer already counts as the reviewer being part of the marketing campaign, which also mean the video is being sponsored indirectly through acts. Ultimately what I'm getting at is that conflict of interest is true no matter how "honest opinions" reviewers say.

Thing is he does use resonably expensive iem on a daily baises, yet he pretends he doesn't know what the perpose of it is to not alienate his veiwer base. I have defended him from people comparing him to the likes of unbox therapy, but sometimes that bridge is hard to walk.

​@@enjoshi-godrez8775 Yeah sometime ago I reconfirmed Lew from Unbox Therapy doesn't care at all about tech/what they review when I saw him riding his boat/yacht and his home. (the feel from those parts of the video, it's not that he has them). That's quite the contrast with Linus and people shouldn't forget that. Also we should know that we're not "normal" when we are considering audio stacks as "portable" or considering adding yet another (heavy) smart device in our pockets. Also I think limpy dongle dac experience further demolished the view on pros of the wired experience (they just suck) so even more people think of BT as the better way.

Have you done so or listened to that combo? I was thinking along the lines of your comment & I'm glad I spotted it as it seems to make sense to me but I'm no audiophile & subs just don't seem to get any recognition on YT speaker reviews, regardless of the reviewer.

@@JustinMurray170fin i have not listened to the combo. I personally bought the 5’s but have not found the need for the sub.. the bass is good enough for the type of music i do and the space im in (small room with minimum treatment).

@fu J no but they’re supposed to be flatter and less colored according to zeos and other reviews ive watched.

The volume and length of the tube completely changes the tuning. Even if you ported it out the front with the same size and length tube it wouldn't work the same since it is aligning the timing. It ain't easy to change it.

realy?

Bought a house instead.

5 are more accurate :)

You really need the a5x's. They are diesgned for studio use unlike the t seires.

You need acoustically treated room if you want accurate sound. After you have the room you can get speakers. Unless it's for hobby and not for business.

Those are both nice monitors, but the Emotiva Stealth 8 are a solid step above

Yamaha is not even the same league for movies and music. Adams for sure.

Skip both of those and find Emotiva Stealth 8. The T8V is a cute monitor. The Stealth is the standard.

@@Dede_Stepas why? Same price range. Professionals are using Yamahas for mixing. Adams might be only better because they have ribbon tweeter

@@christelhall9379 professionals do use awful monitors for the reason.If It works under crappy conditions - it works everywhere. Unless you are a professional who is forced to use crap for logical reasons why would you choose the crap on your own?

@@Dede_Stepas man Yamahas are objectively one of the best speakers ever. They are brilliant speakers. Why are you calling it crap? Yamahas can even battle with Genelecs or Adams a7x

Very much not WAF approved

Yamaha HS8 for mixing purpose and t8v for listening. I owned them both and ended up with hs8

So... Dsp corrected for a week and i've come to the conclusion that the AMT tweeter is too lively for my untreated wonky room. Absolute ear fatigue at moderate listening volumes. I have AMT tweeters in my car system and also own staxx so i am fairly acustomed to brighter sounding systems. But this is just not right. Z hints at it in the video but does not fully drive home the point. The only thing i can think of is the wave guide is literally giving a cupped mouth/shouting effect to the tweeter. I have not heard the T5v's maybe will give them a try because AMT done right is a sound that can't be matched by any other tweeter type.

Placed a piece of foam over the tweeter and they are pretty much perfect.. its crazy how basic physics makes such dynamic changes over tech adjustments with the minidsp.. what gives hifi? what gives? it shouldnt be this hard imo. still thinking about going down a size to the T5V

Hello mate did you made up your mind? I want a pair for my 20 Square meter living room, but I am not sure if I should get these over t5s or t7vs. I want to listen from a turntable and I don't have enough money to go buy a sub.

@@Impact_Creativity yep returned the speakers and bought kef powered speakers. sorry. my local music store allowed for returns maybe your's will allow u to try them out as well and see what you think.

@@futureforward3153 so you are using subwoofer again, right?
