Thanks for explaining how IEMs can graph similarly in the treble yet have a different intensity in person.

[CorinneRakli]

I think its mid- and high-frequency sound is excellent and close to perfect. I like this model.

[hi-friaudioman]

Great, thats exactly what im looking for. Something thats not as harman as SM4.

[datdudeinred]

They missed such great opportunity to call this mp5 😂 micro planar 5( for 5 drivers 😉)

Is it an upgrade in technicalities to the T10 (detail and separation, mostly), or should I just EQ the T10?

[saucyg]

Might get this over P7. Although bass isn’t necessarily to my preference, it’s easier to EQ than the mids and treble of the P7

I am using these non-stop since I received them. They handle everything with flying colors, even very busy tracks. They do become too mid-centric with higher volume. Moondrop spring tips here, these stay on solid even without a lip on the nozzle.

I'm a low-volume listener, so it sounds like this isn't for me. What's a really good low-volume set below $300?

[CookinBeatloaf]

How is it that IEM were stagnant forever and now it seems like we have a new and improved meta tuning every couple of months? Was there a technical hurdle or did they simply choose not to make them sound good?

[uglyfate]

Does open construction affects the sound isolation or it's like on any other iem with a traditional design?

[jamesbb]

Thanks for another great review.

Any chance you're going to review the TRN Jaws? I'm kinda so-so on their IEMs, but that driver config intrigues me.

[dalejail]

do you think it sounds similar to braindance becasue they both have large venting design?

[PerfectViolation]

Thank you for the notes Paul. How would you say the P50's mids compare to the darling Volume S?

[krzysiek]

Great video! I'm wondering about the comfort of the P50s. Are they like big, open-back headphones where you can hear your surroundings when the music is off? I'm thinking of buying the P50s for comfort and to make sure my ears don't overheat. I'd also like the Aful Performer 5+2 for when I don't want my music to leak. Currently, I have Aful P5s, and I'm thinking of upgrading to the P7s, but I'm not sure if the upgrade is significant enough to justify the cost. Also, would it make sense to own both the P7s and the P50s? What do you think?

[lisfos]

Does the Sound leak on this IEM? and how is the isolation compared to average IEM?

[mokisan]

I guess as a low volume listener the sm4 seems better
