No BA but a 6mm driver. Any thoughts on how different it will be and why they're doing it?

albocajBAs tend to do mids and highs well and pick of a bit more detail in this department, the bass however is a bit weak. I have heard a few BA based earphones that actually does bass pretty well. My Audio Tehnica IM03 to a lesser extent my Zero Audio singolos , Final audio earphones does bass like dynamics but doesn't quite get there when it comes to textured bass . BA earphones does neutral tuning better vs a more full bored musical type signature. What your getting with dynamics that are tuned right are not only detail but when it comes to bass a much more realistic and extended bass.
The HEM earphones from NuForce does detail and are balanced well enough but listening to hip hop on them, your earlobes are not gonna rumble like it can with the EDC for example.
The many hybrids that are out on the market marries the two types. BAs usually for highs and mids and single dynamic for bass. Ultimately it comes down to how the BA or dynamics are tuned. Balancing a earphone must be a nightmare as it seems like there is a constant tug of war between highs mids and bass. To get that balancing just right in theory sounds easy but how do you get a full bored bass without it missing the mids and the highs? The EDC does this. No wimpy sound going on here.
Been using them on my Pono player. Sounds fantastic. As good as the EDCs are they sound even better amped. Sounds like a full on headphone.

DsnutsHow long have you had the EDC for? Also, how does the EDC do what the hybrids do being a 6mm driver?

albocajI have had the initial review sample for almost a month the good review sample I did my review on I had for a good 4 weeks or so. Used them every day since to get a good understanding of their sonics. The good review sample I would assume had plenty of burn in before they sent them to me as they sounded like an entirely different earphone.
Hybrids are nice in that they are a marriage of detail, sound separation and stage. I own the Dunu DN2000J and Trinity Audio Masters, PM4. All of these I would consider to have superior sonics over the EDC however here is where the big surprise is. These other hybrids don't sound much better out and about as all their detail and sonics and skewed with outside noise. My PM4 has 2 BAs and 2 dynamic drivers yet they don't produce the bass of the EDC. Detail and resolution of sound is greater in these hybrids but only in a quiet environment.

DsnutsThank you for your response. That helps me know what they can become now, and actually consider getting a set.
