Reply to comment by No-Context5479 in Shuoer S12 EQ for Spotify by iBanshe3

From FR graphs and my own experience with the Shuoer S12, I agree that it is the bump around 8 khz that makes the treble of the Shuoers so spicy. If Spotify does not offer to EQ that specific region, OP needs to find a different way (like the Qudelix you mentioned; I have the Fiio BTR and regret purchasing it because its EQ does not work correctly. Another question to consider: Does the iPhone support Hi-Fi audio codecs like LDAC, AptX HD?).

No iPhone is still stuck on aac... But aac is actually well mastered especially for Apple Music Master Albums. So there's no quality loss in aac... Thankfully the Qudelix has the aac codec so can rightly decode information sent via aac

Thought I need to share this. So I tried to play with different tips, none of them really gave me a complete seal. Foam usually gives best result for me on ER2 or my TWS Melomania 1+. However the stock foam on S12 even at its largest size still doesn’t seem to give me a complete seal. So I tried the stock medium white tip with black core, since it still doesn’t give me complete seal, I tried to push it really in, like deep inside my ear canals (almost similar deep like the ER2 but much more comfy) and wow a world of difference, sound stage open up more like holographic, treble tame down a bit since the bass is more present and overall a much warmer sound just to my liking. I guess I need to look for another tips or just keep using the stock and push them deep inside. If you haven’t try this, please try and let me know if that works for you as well. Now I see all the rave and hype about this IEM lol

Interesting, IEMs in general profit from tip-rolling, but maybe because of its short nozzle then S12 is especially dependent upon good tips?
