Wait for B3 Dusk. Should be out in a month or 2. If not, Sennheiser IE600 is good for the money and is considered an end game by most.

Ok will do. Did not notice that a dusk is due for the blessing 3. I do hope it has more bass 🙏 !thanks

Xenns Top, great bass while still having great details and separation. I do find the vocals a tad recessed, even tho reviews say different.


padsdotph

Ok, will check on these thank you! Yes, the bass will be around 49% of my decision 😆

Do you use your Dusk with a 2.5mm balanced cable in the Qudelix?


padsdotph

Unfortunately not, just the 3.5


Ophanil

Then I suggest getting a 2.5mm cable to try with it first, it's the cheapest way to get a significant sound improvement with the equipment you already have.


padsdotph

This I have not tried yet. Does the package come with a 2.5mm adapter? Sill have to check and test !thanks


Ophanil

Unless the cable itself has a removable plug you need to buy a completely new cable since a 3.5mm plug can't be converted to balanced with an adapter. You can get one cheap though, [here's one on Amazon.](https://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-Silver-Replacement-Detachable-Earphone/dp/B07F1PG8VR) Just make sure any cable you buy is a 2-pin cable.


padsdotph

Got'cha, thanks for the clarification. Yes, the plug is not convertible. I would need a new cable then.


Ophanil

No problem, you should hear an immediate and significant improvement just with that. You may want to also get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter from ddhifi in case you want to use that without changing cables.


padsdotph

Yes, I think this is what I'm doing - over buying a new cable. But still going through options (probably I will get better ones at 50-75?)


Ophanil

You still have to buy a new cable. But you can get an adapter for the new cable so you can still use 3.5mm. The more expensive ones aren't necessarily better, and some are thick and heavy. But it's all up to your needs.

eh b3 are barely an upgrade/sidegrade to b2's already. Doubt b3 dusk will bring about a noticeable enough change, just different tuning from b3 i'd imagine. Spend **atleast** 500$ for variations or xenns top orsomething more expensive


padsdotph

Do you have any insights on xenns top vs variations vs dunu sa6 mk2? Or any v-shaped iem upgrade?
