Random update: I’ve off-handedly mentioned in the past that I kinda hated the oBravo Cupid, but it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to them, so I’m giving these another try on the HiFi-M8 V2 and… yeah, these IEMs actually sound pretty alright, lol. They’re definitely still weird/unnatural in spots, but having a better source seems to make a pretty massive difference here.
EDIT: Bass has a nice rumble, highs have a nice bite, stage is just barely out-of-head, but still not awful and imaging is good, though coherency is not great.
Just thought I’d mention it since I was talking shit about the Cupid earlier. (Though I still don’t know who I would recommend them to, since if you have the money for a better source, you could probably also buy a better IEM.)
