I like them. Thanks or reading my review, don't forget to like and subscribe.

Amidst a calm prairie with much fog and few rays of light,
with damp air clinging to surfaces of touch
and frisk air whispering sweet nothings as it warms up within you,
there is little to think, but much to be heard.
Remember to use EQ.

my final e eartips keep flipping inside out to that goblet shape when I take my iems out of my ears. any way to avoid that?

>>100060397
Smaller tips.

>>100060404
wasn't sure if I'd get a good seal that way but I'll try that. thanks anon

mid size keeps slipping out only on the right ear, but the small size is too small and moves around, sad

i got that pos in the cny sale, gonna paste impressions i wrote a few threads ago
> i'm too lazy to take a pic but if we're talking about our new pos i've been using magicone for a while. compared to other 1bas i have (floaudio lily, kbear neon) it definitely surpasses then as far as succeeding at sounding basically normal goes lol. you could reasonably recommend it as someone's only iem where other 1bas i've tried are niche at best. build is amazing, heavy solid resin pos that fits compact and deep, no pressure buildup for me. comes with a really nice looking and handling cable that smells like an oil spill, got mine in 4.4mm option for lightning fast transients enabled by the extra power (like how highways with wider lanes have higher speed limits). sound-wise it still kinda has that overly smoothed sound i associate with a 1ba, but timbre is very excellent and i think it'd be a top choice if you wanted a "reference" set as an alternative to say, etymotic. for leisure listening, i think most people would find it to be lacking in excitement. i like it for listening before bedtime or while i'm working and don't want to be too distracted. the most similar-sounding thing i have to it is hexa, and if i were buying outside of sales seasons, i'd 100% go for that for half the cost. for $100 on sale, magicone should be considered as an alternative to it for better build quality, semi-custom fit for isolation, and for being a good non-novelty option you can try if you're curious about 1ba sets.

>>100060497
>heavy solid resin pos that fits compact and deep, no pressure buildup for me.
interesting, i've read that isolation is excellent and that some do suffer from pressure buildup despite it being vented

Im afraid to buy daps cause when the battery dies I cant replace it. I can replace my old android phone easily though.

campfire's coomdrop moment

their current lineup has this weird gay aesthetic, they look, feel, and sound like they should be less than $200. cascara was such a disappointment, chifi bros actually won.

thoughts on the dusk?

Campfire is not a real company, in the sense that only headfi knows about them. 64 audio, ultimate ears, those at least make products that artists use, campfire is no better than chifi.

yincrow x6 graphs as a slight bassier apple earpods which is the gold normieshit standard. anything priced higher is audiofool pos. yes earbud graphs are boof, but some exist. going off impressions is retarded

and believing higher price = better audio is also retarded. it's a nerfed shit form factor from the jump

more sophisticated magnet motor design might enhance performance but no, you'll see every chink focus in le diaphragm material (paint coating) and the wire used. if you fall for that shit, welp, that retarded upcharged $300 blue """sapphire""" diaphragm pos is for (You)

and all of this to say: they're sourcing the components all from the same chink factories. none of it is bespoke, all of it is overpriced if it's more than $10 buds. it's the same components. buy it for a "better" looking shell fine, but if you believe the audio performance is somehow increasing, again, go ahead and get that retarded blue plastic bag lid pos and make sure to upgrade to the 4N SPC cable for extra detail retrieval

DIY'ing your own earbuds is the redpill and way cooler than being a consoomer paying gweilo tax for some chink to solder shit

What would be a good next upgrade for someone who fell in love with the truthear Hexa's sound signature?

I'm about to buy the Spinfit W1 but I don't know which size to get. Also, how do you determine which size tips to use in general, I've tried S, M and L of my wankers and they all seem the same to me.

>>100066501
>S, M and L of my wankers and they all seem the same to me
that doesn't make sense at all. you determine what size to get by having a reference point, which you seem unable to ascertain. to the same point as the above guy, why are you seeking to mindlessly consoom something you don't "need?" you're fine. don't waste $12 on a silicone ear tip that might not even fit you right, and on a fucking $10 iem as well.

Hexa kinda stands on its own ground, the alternative is DT200 (but it is discontinued and not necessarily better).
Think there were vaguely similar-ish signatures in sliivo and mega5est. Also there are snoy IER M series as well with their take on "neutrality" but these are already quite far off.

Well well well, if it isn't another noteworthy post. I was lazy this time, left a couple of entries as is from the previous one. Prices in USD
IEMs:
>Kinera Celest Pandamon 2.0 ($60) 1SPD
Looks like a sleeker blue Phoenixcall. Tuning looks familiar but also weird.
>Dunu Titan S2 ($?) ?
Silver Dunu Titan S with the circle being completely red
>Tanchjim 4U ($70) 1DD
New Tanchjim pos with similar form factor to Chu/Lan. 4 "tunable" options that target bass. Looks like Tanchjim house sound.
>Simgot EM10 ($?) ? && Simgot EW300 ($?) ?
Simgot Flagship, still nothing. EW300 sounds like an upgrade of their EW line.
>Tangzu x HBB XuanNv ($80) 2DD
Another collab. At least it isn't some bass monstrosity this time. Looks quite similar to the Hexas, impressions should come in soon.
>Dunu x Gizaudio DaVinci ($?) 2DD + 4BA
Another collab, should be tuned neural-bassy if the poll is to be believed. The faceplate render looks ugly.
>Zhulinniao QingLuan Z4 ($45) 1DD
Mid-forward tuning with not much bass.
>7Hz Aurora ($400) 1 DD + 1PL + 2BA
7Hz flagship, tuning looks mediocre.
>Kinera Celest Relentess ($???) 1DD + 6BA
New Kinera pos. Faceplate looks relatively understated. Cable with interchangeable plugs.
>Moondrop x Crinacle DUSK ($360) 2DD + 2BA + 2PL
Finally released. Slightly improved fit, but ideal tuning for many is behind faulty and bad software/hardware DSP.
>I/O Volare ($600) 1DD + 4BA + 4EST
Solid tuning. Haven't looked too much into this one.
>"Obscure" brands (INTUAURA, CKLVX, PULA, NiceHCK, Raptgo, XINHS, QoA, Tiandirenhe, LUN SHENG, FLOAUDIO, etc)

Yeah the pictures ive seen they look totally marred up and shitty. Those pots are designed to go on a pcb and be adjusted a few times in a product's lifespan, not to be consumer facing and changed frequently.
Also it results in a massive vent hole which i assume will do all sorts of shit to the tuning.

you will unscrew the shell, literally and sometimes also figuratively

those are called vents and are used to tune the IEM, mainly bass response.
in the case of the screw, it is used to attach the two parts of the shell. unscrewing it is necessary if you want to open up the IEM.

And then suddenly crin said that its all mid and 5128 graphs clearly show that there are some issues with the tuning. This was a deep cognitive dissonance and a shock for simzo because he realized that he got placeboed by the graphs into believing that it sounds good, so now he is in a state of permanent damage control and shilling to drag more people into making bad purchase like he did.

i've also tried them both and thought the opposite, not much point talking about treble when it's so variable. i was referring to the 2-8khz region that is noticeably brighter compared to an already bright pos.

LM sounds way better to my ears. Much more resolving. It's not even close. YMMV.

Does anyone have access to this paper? I'd really like to check out some of the curves but I can't find the paper itself anywhere. Could you please share it if you have it?

>>100070162
isn't this the knowles white paper? should be available elsewhere, maybe not in full detail but the final target should be included

>>100070162
>>100070207
this one is an "updated"/"final" version of their work https://www.aes.org/tmpFiles/elib/20240418/22242.pdf
ie just a harman target with variable high frequency content to account for hearing loss and HRTF smoothing from the harman studies. we already knew that bass and treble has variable preference based on the listener, so this is nothing groundbreaking. still nice to have

Mid-tier wireless IEMs with a good ANC? Not overly obsessed with perfect sound quality since I'll largely be using them for while exercising, but I'd like good ANC for plane travel and other similar situations, a good battery life, and decent build quality.

>>100072029
honestly, get the mainstream tws. ANC is a joke on anything else, get the app2 if itoddler, or galaxy buds 2 pro if fagdroid

Is there an actually comfortable pair of IEM's? Every pair I've ever tried has felt extremely uncomfortable, I tried giving Samsung buds a chance but I kept ending up with sharp pain and now whenever I try to insert one I hear a crinkling noise in one ear and I think I fucked up my ear drum.

>>100075036

Every single pair has been unpleasant, I have tried the different size tips but all of them are physically painful to insert and makes loud crinkling noises when I do. I really wish there were a good pair of earbuds in a similar style to the Apple Airpods, where they don't actually go into the ear canal, but Apple refuses to adopt USB-C and I don't want to have to have a specific dedicated cable just to charge my earbuds.

>>100076059
and btw have you been living under a rock? applel switched to usb-c, and earpods (which dont insert in ear canal) are sold with usb-c

>>100076059
also i'll throw you a bone and detail the "proper" way to wear & remove earphones
>open your mouth and nostrils, you want the eustachian tube open (tube between our ears and throat)
>slowly insert the earphones, already playing audio at your preferred volume (not loud)
>once seated and sealed you can close your mouth
when removing earphones
>open mouth and nostrils again
>gently pull at the upper helix of your ears to break the earphone seal
>dig at the earphone at an angle it so that the seal breaks
>gently and slowly remove them
you do not want to just straight "unplug" them when they are sealed in your ear canals. this applies a plunger-like effect sucking out your eardrums (not good).

Eh apparently the new line is fitear collabs so i don't have high hopes
Looks like lots of all ba sets

>>100076540
surprisingly so. resolution is on par with its competitors, but it shines in instrument positioning and immersiveness.
comfort is also really great with an aggressive semi-custom shape that somehow fits me great.
oh and the bass is pretty standout. meaty and superbly punchy while also retaining a LOT of speed and snapiness. texturing is also really, really good, you can feel the rumble. you can feel the bass, but it never bleeds into the mids. maybe some extra warmth for a couple of tracks, but nothing egregious.
midrange is pretty decent. a bit recessed but still comes forward with surprising grit and musicality. voices are seductively realistic while being on the lighter, more ethereal side.
treble is amazing, just pure linear extension with amazing detailing and faultless timbre. both clean and relaxed but still with a lot of information, feels like the sharpest screen you'll see, but never tiring because everything is just so realistic.
t. first time seeing them

No change in sound, no hiss or connection issues. The impedance adapter adds a lot more range to the volume knob so everything has worked out perfectly. The Fiio K5 is way too much power for IEMs. I think for headphones and IEMs the K3 is very good

>>100077518
>it's usually misguided when the #1 thing people want to know about a pos to figure out how well it'll fit is only the nozzle measurement
agreed. it's neat for modding and tip rolling, but there are few cases where nozzle size is actually problematic.

You get what you pay for. Buy once cry once.

>>100077419
well I was kind of wanting to see if the impedance adapter also changed the sound, as I have seen graphs that display FR changes due to impedance adapters. If it has changed the sound it isn't obvious.

>>100084740
S12, modded into S12 Pro with medium density foams, the difference is big
now I've ordered simgay LM and think of getting a hybrid in similar price range so the addiction is real

reminder that any half decent comfortable 1DD + EQ is all you really need

>>100083967
I would say yes and no. It took me a year to start trying stuff, go through ~10 IEMs and settle on 2-3 different signatures. Then downscale to upgraded versions of what I liked.
But's it's a fucking consoomerism at it finest. The day I decided I'm done with further changes I started browsing high end consumer tws.

>>100083967
I kinda stopped collecting when I got the blessing 2, and s12, and the s12s sounded better than something 2-3x the price

>>100084898

ftfy. I haven't heard a single DD that I liked more than any hybrid, ba or planar I've tried.

>>100085014
no, i'm talking about pure objective metrics, not subjective preference. 1DD + EQ can achieve everything if you dedicate enough time to learning how to EQ.

where in the balls holy jesus do i even start to build an offline library of tunes? I always used tidal/apple music, now I want to move to offline because of reasons, anyone has any tips on where and how to start? how do y'all manage your music libraries?

>>100087081
Soulseek / nicotine+

Music > Band Name > [Year] Album Title > song files and album art

>>100087081
Private trackers, public trackers, bandcamp, and buying CDs.

>>100087081
>music libraries
I just throw everything in one folder and call it a day, player apps do a decent job at sorting shit out for me by themselves.

>>100087081
depends on how thorough you want the library to be, and your goal.
general rule of thumb is to get CD quality lossless for future proofing. anything above is mostly pointless, anything below and you lose a lot of transcoding possibilities. try getting FLAC files, they are the only option.
simplest way to organize is by Artist > Album, and then you can add any info you want like genre, release date, catalog number, quality, source, etc. this is purely from a file organization perspective
then you want to modify the metadata if possible. there are several tools that match what you have to music databases and sync the metadata so it's relatively low effort.
to do so, you need either a dedicated editor program, or a music player (easiest). foobar2000 and musicbee are the main options here. f2k has more customization, and generally more "powerful" in terms of music library organization. musicbee is just as powerful for most cases, and the UI looks nicer stock.
