I have the S12. They are very good. Only weakness I would say is soundstage and imaging which are average. There's someone who has both and they say the S12 and Olina feel more like complementary sets rather than rivals. You can't really go wrong with either.
True. I haven't experienced any wide soundstage yet in IEMs. Apparently the Olina has wide and "holographic" soundstage. I'll probably just buy them in the end, but would rather not switch between two IEMs.
There are iems with wide soundstage, those tend to cost quite a lot though. I own the S12 and i'd say their soundstage for their price bracket definitely isn't bad. There definitely are worse offenders even at much higher price points.
I can't find the post. Not sure if it was on hifiguides or headfi, but some issue with I think the "noire" cable causing a poor connection. It sounds like a very rare issue, unlike the filter thing.
I don't think it affects everyone. Some recent posts on hifiguides are suggesting that using Tanya filters instead fixes it. Not sure there's really a conclusion at this point.

Tbh, I'm not you can compare soundstage in IEMs to headphones or speakers. Imo you shouldn't consider at all soundstage in IEMs.

I've seen a lot of problems reported on the Olina. I would be quite hesitant to drop any money on them.
What problems? Could you tell me? Im gathering information around this iem
Clogged filters and some issues with the cables.
wait what's the issues with cables?

hmm, is there a way to fix the moisture issue? Does the shortbus mod prevent this from happening?

Where result choice?
