thank you for the review! i nearly took the supermix 4. :) will take the arete.

[@DungLeReviews]

Yeah to my ears, the Arete is easier to like, but it's subjective on my part😅

[@AronAddams7]

Excellent review! Thanks for the list of test tracks.

[@DungLeReviews]

@@AronAddams7 You're welcome. Thank you for watching. I think i should add more testing tracks

[@AronAddams7]

@@DungLeReviews That'll be great. I have already added some to my Tidal playlist.

[@eboboboy]

this almost twice the price of SM4 in my country

[@palgun.]

What 2 pin cable to type c with microphone would you recommend for it?

[@DungLeReviews]

Type C with mic? Sorry i don't know much about that.

[@Krasche02]

Thanks, great review! Do you always measure the polarity in your review process?

[@DungLeReviews]

@@Krasche02 Check the impulse response in my measurements

[@DungLeReviews]

@@Krasche02 I mean yes, i always check it

[@Krasche02]

@@DungLeReviews Ok, that's very good! Thanks!

[@SlumptyDumpty]

Did you notice any improvement when you flipped the ear hooks to correct polarity? It really cleaned up the staging and gave the bass a little more omph for me.

[@DungLeReviews]

@@SlumptyDumpty i want to say it did, but i dont know, because right when i know it has reverse polarity through measurements, i just flip the cable right away

[@SlumptyDumpty]

​@@DungLeReviewswas your Doscinco also reversed polarity? I wonder if they are doing it on purpose to give the illusion of a bigger soundstage, or if it's poor QC.

[@DungLeReviews]

@@SlumptyDumpty I'm willing to bet on that's by design/they deliberately do it

[@k.w5804]

Same oddly low impedance and high sensitivity as the supermix 4.

[@k.w5804]

Would you say arete has a better base and thicker mids in general. I didn’t like my supermix 4 as I initially did.

[@DungLeReviews]

@@k.w5804 Better bass, yes. Thicker mids, kinda yes. Overall sound, i enjoy the Arete more.
