The M4 leaves no doubt that the bass is DD unlike some select implementations. Whereas with all my prior iems I had the 1A at one volume and stuck with it, I found myself changing the volume up and down depending on song with the M4, a very interesting point, but I found adjusting the volume actually got me more enjoyment out of a track as opposed to a consistent volume. The last thing is the variable volume, I mentioned here a week or two ago that I was playing with the volume. I'll do a small blurb on the effects of this pair up as well.I found the Radius Deepmounts in small to be a perfect fit and those have stayed on there straight out of the box. As my impressions are based on the stock cable where possible and my Scorpion-C was 3.5, I opted not to do the impressions with my PWA Monile which is paired with the M4 on the 4.4. Onto source: For consistency's sake, the review is based primarily on my 1A in 3.5 on low gain with variable volume (more on that later) and compared on my RME ADI 2 in case power was an issue(This is a new step I've been doing). FiR seems to be taking feedback in their designs as well. My second biggest complaint with the 12t was the lack of a lip to hold on to tips, having tips coming off in your ear is no fun. One box ticked! I also have to mention that these have nozzle lips! Double lipped as well ensuring a very secure fit on tips. The stem itself is not as angled as the u12t and I suspect in comparison with a lower weight due to a much lower driver count resolved the issues I had with the 12t before I even started to listen. Not even my problematic left ear could find a complaint. I put it in my ears and it.just stayed there. I've always had an issue with the fit of the u12t and I wasn't too sure whether the M4 would be an issue in this area as well since the shells looked very similar. That said, the driver count is a huge factor and in models with lower driver counts this becomes less of an issue for me (Andro and Trio come to mind as well in that vein). The though of the internals banging into a hard shell really does worry me sometimes. I understand durability and all that, but it's going see increased signs of wear in comparison due to the weight and the shells crashing together more often, then there's the increased weight that may affect the fit or whether it'll fall off you ears. I'm on the fence on whether manufacturers should stop using acryclic shells once you get past the $2k price point. This was only the second fully tubeless design after the Trio I had heard, but it definitely my belief that open hat BAs and acoustic chambers is a direction iems should be going while estats mature as tech.įirst things: the shell. Before boxing it up to FiR for the repair, my short time with the M4s impressed me. eventually reached out for a trade via PM and the rest is history. So up the Andro went while I searched for an M4 to show up. At the time I had obtained the Andromeda 2020 recently and despite my initial impressions, I really didn't see it being something I would listen to in the long term alongside the DMagic and MEST (Which I shortly moved after getting the Odin). Either way, I would be getting mine second-hand as I this would be a blind buy. My interest was piqued by the comprehensive review that dropped and cemented by 's series about their line up. and Empire, No those are not love letters to Vitaly and Jack!). Also we do not talk about my blind buys!) despite being started by a Belonozhko of 64 Audio fame (and we know how I feel about 64 Audio. ![]() Initially FiR fell into that category (a lack of reviews for the longest time wasn't helpful either. ![]() I've always been weary of dipping into brands that have a small selection as the price of entry tends to be higher either by virtue of the tech being expensive in production costs or simply a cash grab at times. If anything Firry leads you around on a musical energy that you come out of refreshed and ready for whatever 2020 part 2 wants to throw at you. While Elmer Fudd may have been utterly befuddled and exhausted chasing around Bugs Bunny all day, Firry does not. While FiR didn't officially drop their mascot Firry until the release of their EDC 5x5, I think it's oft to make a reference in the title here. Then another minor readjustment to play around with volume. The oft promised but delayed multiple times M4 review is here! First a UPS delay in getting this to me from France, then a trip to FiR for a grill repair, and finally a delay over the Christmas holidays (I got the wrong priorities, I know, y'all told me that enough).
