I am one of those sophisticated, nit-picky basshead audiophiles; I need these! QKZ HBB Hades is absolute💩and your review was spot on. Thanks for your honesty.
Hi Dave, I have some question, I hope you will help me solve them. Have you tried some iems such as ie 900, z1r, campfire solaris? Which dac/amp you usually pair with iems?
I haven't heard the IE900, Z1r or Solaris, sorry. My go to USB-C dongles are the Hiby FC3, Hiby FC4, Hidizs XO. My go to desktop DAC/Amp are the Mytek Liberty DAC ii, Aune S17C Pro, Fiio K11, Fiio K9 AKM.
Hello Dave.. How does this one compare to the Hype 4.. I know there's a BIG price difference. Still, was wondering if it's worth tye extra bucks. How do the techs compare?
Oh700vb bass on; Hype 4 a little less bass impact, slam and texture. OH700vb bass off, the Hype 4 is similar but not as much sub bass extension. As for the mids and treble the Hype 4 is similar.Hype 4 has a little more air and space. Hype 4 doesn't have as much detail retrieval and resolution but isn't far behind. Tone and timbre are similar. The Hype 4 is leaning more to neutral, natural and the OH700vb is more to the fun, natural side. You could say the Hype 4 is kinda a mixture of both settings of the OH700vb.
@@TheHonestAudiophile That's VERY helpful Dave.. Thanks for the snappy reply! So am I right to assume that if my budget is tight and I prefer a bit of spaciousness (as I listen to orchestral tracks too), the Hype 4 would be better?? Or am I mistaken? Or is the Studio 4 a viable option for my tastes too? I don't care for a lot of bass.
@rajeebdas1724 Hype 4 is a bit more full sounding then the Studio 4. The Studio 4 is a true stage monitor whereas the Hype 4 has a slight fun side to it.
Hi Dave, Have you heard the Xenns Up? I’m thinking of upgrading and wondering if this set is too similar to it? They both price the same and from your description of this would it be a lateral move rather than an upgrade? By the way I love the Up but the upgrade bug has bitten me. Thanks for your time. B
I think that depends on how thin and light the note weight is in the mid and upper bass. There's a balance to have a well controlled, heavy, thick note weight with accurate tone, timbre, details, resolution and texture. Oft times the bass isn't controlled, resolving and just turns into a bloated, muddy mess. The bass tuck will help to add in air and space but some are too tucked and get thin and too lightweight. Bass is a balancing act.
Not all bassheads listen to club/concert style music. Speaking of clubs/concert style music, not all of it is bloated, muddy bass even though on stage there is a "basshead" band/group/performer. There are different types of bassheads just like there are different types of trebleheads and mids lovers.

Oh snap, you do listen to some basshead music, thanks for the playlists.
Oh man the bass on this guy sounds like an experience. A nuanced and engaging bass region is always such a pleasure.
Look forward to hearing your impressions of them.

Good morning Dave listening to you on my drive-in. It’s a chilly one. Take care.
Awesomeness 😎 Stay warm my friend. Have a great weekend.
Very good review. Wish it was available from a USA dealer.

didn't know this maker -- thx

How would this compare to the Softears Twilight? Is the Twilight a step above in detail and stage?

Does it hold up to the Monarch MkIII though, in terms of "technicals," the intangibles (as the tuning is different, not fairly comparable)?

Sorry I haven't heard the Xenns Up.
It’s a fun pretty bassy set . Would you say the Oriveti punches above its price at all? Thanks.
I would say the OH700VB is well priced and holds its own with some higher priced products.
Ok. Thank you
My pleasure, you're welcome.
Does it hold its own versus the Maestro Mini?
Sorry haven't heard Maestro Mini.
Ohhh noo haha the maestro mini has bigger bass presence. Mid bass is awesome, it punches in your chest ! The sub bass is excellent too.
Can a set with a tucked mid bass be a basshead set?
😮

@@TheHonestAudiophile "bloated muddy mess" is exactly what a lot of bassheads want -- emulates a club experience. impact over timbre.
