~~ Ambient Acoustics : intras et reshell ~~

Ambient Acoustics

Depuis le retrait de Custom Art de ce type de prestation, le marché européen du reshell d'intras moulés a chancelé.

Voilà une 'nouvelle' piste, et son topic pour les retours d'expérience des braves.

Un grand merci d'avance.

Je suis très curieux de savoir ce que valent leurs CIEM hauts de gamme... Il n'y a vraiment pas beaucoup d'informations sur le net les concernant.

[Panohm]

La qualité du travail semble très élevée et ils offrent des options intéressantes comme les connecteurs à vis. Ils fabriquent des câbles et des connecteurs en interne aussi, j'allais faire refaire ma Fitear 333 privée, mais ils ne prennent que Western Union et je suis devenu paresseux.

Merci Panohm.

Je repique ici l'expérience de Vince, en anglais.

Here are some news from my Fitear MH335DW reshell. Ambient Acoustics got them on the May 31 (2016) and finished the reshelling yesterday. They expect to ship them out by the end of this week.

They kindly offered me to add a metal resonator in the high frequency driver in order to increase the linearity of such frequency. It was a choice they gave me, and if someone want to reshell their product without having one, they can do so. I accepted and asked if I could have the graph of the before/after and they delivered with explanation.

Without further ado:

Et la conclusion :

sur Head-Fi

I don't have a lot of free time at the moment, so my impressions about the modified MH335DW are going to be brief, at least for now.

Build quality: a couple of very small bubble that can only be seem upon really close inspection, otherwise it's top notch. The build is definitely way better than the other full acrylic I used to have (Earsonics SEM-6). The metallic tube bore is really big, so the other bore seems really small and could be harder to clean later on.

Cable synergy: I have the standard fitear cable and an hybrid forza. I dodn't think the hybrid forza pairs well with it, the bass lose all it's impact.

Contact with Ambient Acoustics: It was nice, I used mostly facebook to contact them and the website to chose my design. It didn't take more than a day to get a reply and they were always helpful.

Isolation and fit : Perfect. It beats the Ei.xx I had with ease in this department and I find it to isolate even more than my H8Pro (this makes me wonder if I'll ask for acrylic with silicone filling in my H8.2).

Sound. Definitely warmer than what I used (H8P) but it was to be expected and it's clearly not dark as hell as the S-EM6. The reason I sold my Ei.XX was because I liked the sub-bass but felt that the "regular" bass was lacking. Here's we got a really good bass, I love the blend of impact and quality. You usually can't get both, like the H8P have a really nice control and definition but lack impact. Here the definition is under H8P but still good and with a really nice impact. I like it a lot. The mids are a bit recessed for my taste, but it's definitely something I can live with, probably due to the bass being so prominent and extending a little bit on the mid. But don't get me wrong, the bass don't overpowered everything and the mids and high have a god definition too. I'm glad I went with the resonator upgrade because I don't have any issue with the high frequency and I don't find them to be "too much" with them and they certainly have a nice touch. I experienced no sibilance as of yet and they are not a fatiguing CIEMs. The soundstage is on the rather intimist side but the imaging s fairly good so I have no issue with it.

So bottom line, I'm happy with my purchase, thank you Ambient Acoustics!

Comme pour Custom Art, c'est dans l'UE, on pourrait essayer d'avoir des prêts ?

[sandro]

Je vais faire le reshell des EM10 chez eux, suspenss...
Dès le premier email ils sont réactifs, réponse en 2h, ça commence bien

[rudra]

On attend la suite (presque) aussi impatiemment que toi.

[cocolinho]

j'ai essayé quelques simulations. Leur site n'est pas (encore) au niveau.
Impossible de réaliser la personnalisation car le logiciel est buggé et la dernière étape n'est pas traduite, donc on sait pas trop ce qu'ils demandent.
Dommage

[rudra]

La dernière étape offre la possibilité de diminuer l'isolation sonore.

C'est vrai que ce n'est pas encore ça pour les étrangers. Quelques traductions manquantes mais ça marche sous firefox.

[sandro]

La dernière étape est pour l’ajout de filtres etc... l’ukrainien c’est joli ;)
Sous Safari la personnalisation fonctionne bien chez moi.

[rudra]

Hmm, peut-être comme le "Ambience System" de Vision Ears alors, un canal supplémentaire dans lequel on met un filtre plus ou moins isolant.

[sandro]

Ils proposent un filtre contre l’entrée de l’humidité.

[rudra]

Alors google trad c'est moyen...

Сквозная вентиляция
End-to-end ventilation

Уменьшаяет звукоизоляцию до такого уровня, что остается базовая коммуникация с залом.
Reduces sound insulation to such a level that the basic communication with the hall remains.

[sandro]

AhAh je pense qu’on ne parle pas du même truc en ukrainien ;)

[Td310]

Trop envie d'essayer les am6 et am10 les am7 lam-c sont très intriguants !
