Finally bit the bullet and bought the Top. I am listening for my first time today at work, I just did the unboxing and plugged them in. Wow they are pretty amazing. I've been just casually listening to "Riding with King" by Eric Clapton & BB King. It is so easy to just get lost in the music. I will do some critical listening later tonight. I am going to put the Kinera Leyding cable on mine. That has become my go-to cable for more expensive IEMs with just so-so cables. Thanks as usual for the awesome review. So far, my friend, you are spot on with this one! (all of them really)

I recently received these. I enjoyed the review. I'm new with all of this stuff. I recently purchased a Fiio M11 plus. Opted for a pair of FH5s . Thought that would be the end of it. Then figured out I really needed a pair of Focal Clears, as they are going for a seemingly great price. I got a brand new pair for 790. Anyways.....I really liked the above review. I read the comments. Bought them.......wow. I absolutely love these. This is what I was after. I am putting them through all kinds of genre workouts. I'm happy with them. So now it's what's next....I'm going to stick to this channel to hopefully figure it out. Thanks Dave. Love the channel

If memory serves me correctly the FH9 is more airy and doesn't have as much note weight. The Top has more bass impact and extension and is not as peaky in the mids and treble. The Top is more fun leaning but still has the detail and retrieval to go with it.

I've been very impressed with the tribred sets that I've listened to (Clairvoyance and Mest Mk2). However I tend to find incoherency when crossing over between driver types. Primarily the timbre difference between DD, BA and EST. DD typically being the most natural, BA being quicker and a bit plasticy, and ESTs being the fastest but kind of wispy. Do you find this issue on this set when compared with all BA or single DD sets?
@TheHonestAudiophile
@TheHonestAudiophile Год назад
I had no issues with the tone and timbre. I do understand your concerns and mostly agree that DD have best natural tone and timbre. I find that Knowles BA struggle a lot with natural reproduction. The Top has Sonion BA and I find them to be more accurate for a BA.

@@magik97 Dont know if you ever ended purchasing but I’m putting it here in case someone ever stumbles on this. The Xenns is a more fun take on the Variations which is great if that’s what you’re in the mood for, however the Xenns loses out drastically in technicalities and overall detail retrieval, I felt that the Variations with minor eq is significantly better than the Xenns, I tried eqing the Xenns but it wasn’t the same ever after spending quite some time on the EQ for both. Like the HonestAudiophile says below they are more complementary than anything else but if you get something like the Qudelix and EQ the Variations they are truly endgame IEMs, in fact even without EQ if you just switch the tips to something like the final type e clear / red tips you get a more pronounced mid bass while not losing out on the other frequencies and it’s almost the same as the EQ. I gave the Xenns to a family member who’s getting into IEMs because honestly after the tips + EQ I don’t really think I’ll ever need another pair of IEMs ever again as long as I have these. That’s all the thoughts I can really say, feel free to reach out if you or anyone else has questions and I’ll do my best to answer them

I agree, out of curiosity I took them. I can tell you they sound very natural and have a very chilled listen, I love the bass. The only thing that makes me turn up my nose is that the sound seems very far away, I don't know how to explain it, it's a sensation that I don't like very much. In my opinion if you have a very chill library (jazz, classic music etc...) they are excellent

Your review is spot on! I was an early purchaser of the Top because of my experience with the og Tea. Getting a 20% off deal during BF/CM didn’t hurt either!😊 The biggest compliment I can give to them is that they just convey the music in a manner that makes you lose track of time. There been more than a few times with them that I’ve sat down to listen to them critically only to come out of a trance several songs later with zero mental notes on their sonics. I just kinda got lost in the music! About the only thing that I was mildly disappointed with was the cable. Don’t get me wrong. It’s performance is stellar and I get why it was paired with the Top, but it just seems underwhelming in appearance based on the price of the package. I was just expecting something more substantial. It is very, on-the-go friendly though! I’m just starting to play around with cable swapping. It’s early in the game but I think that it’s safe to say that the resolving nature of the Top is making it a very interesting experiment!
@TheHonestAudiophile
@TheHonestAudiophile Год назад
Awesomeness! I totally agree and have also experienced the lost in the music and no mental notes. Yeah the cable is okay, it is more like a $100 IEM cable. I should try some of the Effect Audio cables with the Top. Great idea. Thank you for the impressions.
@ItsJustChase
@ItsJustChase Год назад
I always end up replacing the cable no matter what iem it is, very little seldom do I keep the stock ones. The best brand in my opinion for price and performance is XINHS on Aliexpress, talk to him and you can discuss the exact type of cable you want. Connectors, plug terminations and even down to core braids and thickness of each strand for the cable. Also color of cables (and terminals) are a lot to choose from, mixing copper with dark brown is my favorite look and he does this all with reasonable pricing. The average is 20-30ish but can get up to 70$ for the thickest cables and interchangeable plugs. Other than that I would have to choose Kbear while the cheapest but still trusted is TRN and QKZ. Third TR

@@TheHonestAudiophile Effect Audio cable are unreasonably expensive in my opinion. There are a lot of cheaper options out there that will give you the same performance. AliExpress is an excellent option especially when they have 11.11, BF/CM or the upcoming Chines New Year deals. I have no experience with XINHS cables but my favorite is SYRNARN cables. I also love the IKKO CTU01 replacement cables. On the cheaper side, I like the Tripowin Altea and Noire.
