Of course! I listened through Random Access Memories by Daft Punk and W:/2016ALBUM/ by Deadmau5, both of which played very very well on the TC. Genres I normally listen to most often is EDM, movie scoring, alternative rock, and hip hop.

Thanks for the thorough right up! What kind of music were you listening to when testing it? And what do you normally listen to?

They sound great but kind of bother my ears. I have weird ear issues in general, always itchy and/or clogged up. Definitely nice to have around, but my main headphone will always be over ear

It’s a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface. I use it to practice bass through headphones (usually use my V-Moda’s for that)

The CRAs are still a very good value in IEMs as well as a handful of others in that under $25 price bracket. IEMs, in general, have replaced my need/desire for closed-back headphones.

Aye mate. Here are some cheap RECs
Kz Linglong (€15)
Truthear Hola (€18)
Tangzu Wan'ner (€18)
7hz Salnotes Zero (€18)
Kiwi ears cadenza (€32)
My pick is the linglong because of bullet style and great for sleeping (haven't tried them). Tangzu wan'ner for overall music as it fits my needs better I was lucky to demo it just a few weeks back, although herd it only for a brief time.

I love Geshelli because it has all the features needed, good input/output options, and comes with a highly customizable case. More than enough power on their balanced amp to run any of my cans comfortably. The best part is the highly communicative and friendly husband and wife team who do all the PCB designs and assembly. Nothing but good things to say about Geshelli.

I'm brand new to the nice headphone world, and these CCA CRA IEM's are my first foray into in ears. I'm thoroughly impressed with them running through my Toppings stack (e30/l30). I don't see them being an over ear killer for me, the comfort and insane detail of the Sundaras still reigns supreme, but they're a really nice option to have around. They're a tiny bit bass heavy which muddies up the low end details, that would be my main criticism, but for $20 shipped including a set of memory foam tips, I have no regrets!

Completely different topic, but I saw your flair and I'm wondering, how is the Geshelli 2 and is it worth it or does it make any significant difference in comparison to other DACs?

If you hear difference with headphones, you should also hear it without them. Listen to some noises and cover one ear.

Both of your ear canals are different shapes, sizes and angles so you will never have perfect balance even if your drivers are perfectly matched.

It does help. The case wall is raised above the button, mostly flush with the bump on the blue button. https://i.imgur.com/Y6Fu8iO.jpg

Very cool, saving for later. Does it make it less likely to accidentally press the buttons? The q5k is fucking brilliant, but the buttons…Christ.

I actually don't know, I have the same KA3, but low gain is enough for my cans, so I never tried to change it

If it’s happening with multiple headphones, well worth a trip to the audiologist. The one thing I would say is that this also happened to me, and it turned out a balance control in Windows was set to favor the left channel. But that was me being dim, prob not representative.

Nice! Can't say I listen to EDM or movie scores all that much. But the other genres I do. My personal favorite movie score is Mad Max Fury Road but I'm also a slut for drums so it's up my alley.
