![]() ![]() NOTE: The Heart Mirror sound scales very well with a dac-amp and is recommended to be powered to make the most out of its potential Thankfully this is merely a cable problem and can be remedied by changing cables. ![]() This would make the people I'm in a call hear what I'm listening to. Although there was an issue where the mic would pick up the sounds that I'm listening to. The mic location of the cable is also perfect as it's close enough to my mouth that I don't have to position the mic awkwardly under my lip or nose but far enough that it doesn't irritate my skin. ![]() The hook did not create pressure points on my ears which helped big time in wearing it for almost an entire day. The chin strap was also sturdy and kept its position throughout the day. It has a bit of memory but is, for the most part well behaved when wrapped. I'm not a big fan of braided cables as I find them irritating my neck and jaws, but the build quality of the cable is good. The stock cable was pretty decent for me. I also tried using Final E tips in Medium which slightly enhanced the bass, but the fit was similar to the stock clear tips in that it slides over long periods. The foam offered a good fit and didn't slide out of my ear like the clear tips. There were also clear SML and foam tips which I found to be not as comfy to wear. I switched between the SML and found that the small was the most comfortable. The Sony EX11 looking tips were quite comfortable. The different tips that came with the HM were also very impressive. The fit isn't very deep into my ear which has an effect on isolation as it doesn't block out outside noise that well, but personally I didn't mind as the not-so-deep fit attributed to how comfortable it was to wear. These are very comfortable and light to wear despite having a metal build. I would wear the HM for at least 10 hours a day and not once did I feel any hotspot or pressure points when wearing it. a specialist IEM to me) may return to it once in a while - the late Beethoven Quartets (Takacz) sound engaging and crisp. So overall: 3.5-4 stars - 75% of 4.5 stars and 25% of 1 star on complex tracks.ĭespite my perhaps overly critical opinion, I really enjoyed this IEM for a comparative experience and in many aspects (again. With increasing complexity, the resolution and dynamics collapse to my ears, often in a fiasco-like fashion.Ĭompared to Blon 03, I am biased to Blon 90%, just nice and organic, the loss of resolution is expected compared to the failures to resolve of the Mirror.ĬCA CRA are definitely more resolving, and arguably a better deal for the money despite the "timbre" and 5K peaks.Īria is in a different league to me, given the price difference and overall universality of Aria. So it is a specialist IEM to me- with the right files and few instruments - it can make a really good impression. Multiple drivers do resolve by the contrast! Poor tracks, poor sources exacerbate the resolution and dynamics problems greatly. Treble is meant to be the king of the show, and it is largely so the impression/illusion of the resolution is there, but there are definitely limits to it. I really liked the DD bass of the mirror, it was there for me when "called for" and that works well to my ears. The fit is nice, while isolation is expectedly quite limited. The "unboxing" experience, nice case, useful tips and greatly made shells are superior. I use large-diameter wide-bore tops (Spiral dots and similar) with all my IEMs. I bought this IEM with my own funds, and my opinion is biased only by my subjective preferences that are plentiful, but promotion/hype-independent.Īctually, the main motivation to get this IEM was due to controversial reviews.Īlso, I did find more fun and "milage" buying older favourites rather than newly hyped ones.Īs a preview, my opinion is 75-80% with the positive reviews and 20-25% the limitations described by the one-star review were experienced and can be attested/confirmed to be an issue.įor the source, I first tried my phone (Samsung S10), then I mostly used Tempotec E44 as one of my favourite brighter-neutral dongles. ![]()
