>>100138738damn bro, do better
>>100138728For audio during a call? You don't, at least not with Bluetooth. Get some non-Bluetooth wireless headset. They use a USB dongle that shows up as an audio device on the computer and transmits audio using their own proprietary RF protocol that doesn't go into cucked mode whenever you use the mic.
Any flathead recs that are available on Amazon? I need something quick.
>>100138739Any regular IEM + these bad boys
>>100138750is there any fancy dac/adapter/whathaveyou that does something like this? something that lets me plug in any ol 3.5mm trrs device and broadcast over whatever epic proprietary protocol they have

>>100138794solid collection. you can leave now, enjoy your music
>>100138653him and timmy are doing bassier (but not retarded mud crap like hades) pos. collabs are healing
>>100138767No clue if there's something like the 5K but RF instead of Bluetooth. I use a 5K and just disable the headset part in the Windows sound device list, then use my laptop's builtin mic since that's good enough. If I need a better mic I'd get a separate wireless lavalier mic.Bluetooth is fine so long as you stay far away from the mic device. HFP is good for telephone calls and that's about it.>>100138790I'm pretty happy with my Timeless. I have the original one which is MMCX. The newer AE version is 2pin and the only other difference is they tweaked the tuning a bit.
>>100138728>wireless>qualityOH NO NO NO NO NO
>>100138819i mean yeah it's not great but like... couldn't a dedicated input device over bluetooth be at least reasonably recently quality if it didn't have to share bandwidth with output?
>>100138819Still waiting to see someone who can distinguish LDAC 990 kbps from a wired connection.
>>100138739the orch lite will be fine. use some foams or zeos render hybrid tips and you're set to not hear much arohnd you
>>100138830Nobody can, you'd need an extremely sensitive oscilloscope to see meaningful differencesThe only problem with Bluetooth is the TWS shit being purposely designed e-waste, but the Bluetooth dongles are usually fine
>>100138825No. Two issues. One, mic is only supported in whatever codes the Qudelix app reports as "WIDE" or "HD VOICE", and both of those blow chunks. Two, now you're running multiple BT devices next to each other and one of them isn't super low bandwidth like a mouse or game controller. You'll get interference and it'll suck.You do have one potential option: aptX-Adaptive r2, now with voice support. It does everything you want, all in one device. Good luck finding anything that supports it though.
>>100138871Exactly, and TWS doesn't seem to work with LDAC. Also TWS IEMs always sound worse than decent wired ones and cost more. This is why I use a 5K clipped to my shirt collar and an IEM with a short cable on it.

Do IEMs have different FR at different volumes? And do passive SMD components for dampening or crossovers make the frequencies they act on behave non-linearly? Basically, does EQ even work if you can't measure it yourself?
>>100139163Paul Wasabii on youtube had some weird measurements on Performer 8. Flatter FR at higher volume.
>>100139191looks like the dude is overloading his coupler lmao, that flattening is what happens kek
>>100138902>no cover artyou need to take better care of your library
talking about cover art, embedded or not?
>>100139163The passives are linear, but drivers have a spring restoring force towards zero displacement that will "compress" the waveform at large displacements. DD has the surround for the spring force, and BA has the paperclip. The planar membrane has the least restoring force ... but it also has no rigidity, so it's non-linear in a different way, it breaks up into many surface modes.
>>100139315>BA paperclip>planar toilet sheet1DD bros stay winning!

>>100139429don't make me pull out the $300 8 braid custom silver cable that's way too heavy to be usable
>>100139429wrong, wrong, wrongthe cable is a smart mix of different material properties and colors to naturally enhance the detail without it being overbearing. the subtle interweaving is done so that not only is cohesiveness constant, but also impact and synergy is improved with whatever source he's usingany other cable would throw off the balance of sound and will make it sound overly artificial. stop trying to shill your cable propaganda, we know you're on nicehck payroll. there's a reason why simgot has been on a roll, they think about their whole product, not just the iems

Help! How do I order EPZ G10 (fox iem) with custom faceplate? Does anyone have template for the faceplates? And how do I make pics on faceplates look good?
What are filters? How do they get clogged?
>>100141190It's the mesh thing at the end of the nozzle. They clog from moisture from inside your ear.
>>100140665Stutter usually means your source sucks balls and can't keep up, or there's too many other Bluetooth devices in the area. Idk how good the antenna on either the XM3 or your source are, but when I've taken my 5K and 2023 Motorola phone on the subway I had to be in a packed car with about half the people wearing wireless earbuds before I got even intermittent cutouts at 909 kbps.My last phone was a Galaxy S7 Edge and couldn't handle 909/990 kbps without intermittent cutouts even with no interference, but it was rock solid at 606/660. People seem to complain about high bitrate LDAC working badly on the latest Galaxy Fold models too.

I use Philips SHP9500 headphones when I'm at home.

>>100145490The camera bump is twice the thickness of a 4.4 connector. That thing is fat.Knowing Moondrop pricing, this will probably cost more than any flagship phone.

>>100146702>>100146766probably not, flat head earbuds like these sound the best when oriented such that the earbud is aiming straight at your canal. this improves bass response considerably, but the issue is that this one is over-ear and using 2 pin, so no possible swivel possible.

Recently they released a refreshed AS16 Pro X but I don't know how it compares - it seems they just replaced one of the BAs with a different type.>>100147799It doesn't even come with a BA in the nozzle, DD is doing all the job, and the BAs... well, they're there, they certainly do work, but do they contribute much? No need to answer here...
>>100138928pretty cool that moondrop is bringing removable backpanels back to smartphones
>>100148225EU is gonna start enforcing easily replaceable batteries in 2 or 3 years so they may just have wanted to be compliant with these regulations from the start and be done with it.
Wew lads just got my waner :) Bought it because it looks cool and the reviews said it came with a shit load of tips (it did, like 6 pairs lmao). Cables are just kek, not gonna last. Fit with stock tips is abysmal if you have large ears. Slapped the w1s on it and fit perfectly and sounds pretty damn nice for the price. No bass but very good for vocals, guitar, strings. 100% worth the price IF you have the tips to fit
>>100147997It's THE flagship decoding chip(of realtek)

Its techs time. Any anons know what the little handwritten notes say?
>>100150031It says ご購入頂きありがとうございます, "thank you for your purchase".
>>100149768Time to invest into some grippy tips. Dunu S&S are very grippy but not really comfy, they do seal very well. TRN T-tips are much cheaper but not as sticky.
>>100150137there's penon liqueur, they are coming for me........
>>100150031"Thanks for 20 dorra silly gaijin"
>>100150103Thanks anonThese tips make a huge difference, origins sounds somehow both brighter and muddier and less detailed. Gonna try it with some more iems, maybe there's a set that will be improved.
>>100150137Taking notes. Any good tips that are long? I feel like only way to get a good seal on these is with a deep insertion tip
>>100150137Obv dif ears dif fits, but for MY ears, s&s fit fucking amazingly and are super comfy while having a perfect seal
>>100150031It's made just for laughs by the look of it, you can say those tips convert iems into flat top earbuds.
>>100150031Holy shit he actually bought them
which in-ear monitors are actual monitors?
>>100150421All of them. Plug them into the receiver and start monitoring.
>>100150363how do these actually fit? does the umbrella fold over and make a seal??
These actually sound relatively okay with the Z1R mostly because the stock response is already kinda awful. Normal tips give me painful sibilance at like 11.5K which is gone with the jijujets, instead replacing it with a 7K rape which isn't as painful for me. >>100150472It fits weird, they barely insert into your ears but they do seal. Unironically put regular tips on backwards and that's pretty much how it fits.
>>100147533I have the original, lasted me for a whole year and some but I still wouldn't recommend it, a bit muddy and bass heavy
>>100138653Loved my g1 for a while but how the FUCK is it related in anyway to the salnotes zero?Completely different tunings
>>100150559It's Q1 Pro, not G1. It's the same but better.
>>100150363>Both brighter and muddierYou know, now that the dust has settled, that perfectly describes the experience I had with the Conch with red nozzles. Bad Ear Gain so vocals sounded pushed back while the treble was too 'in your face' and instruments like maracas took up waaay too much space.

Are the tips on the moondrop quarks supposed to be insanely difficult to put on? I'm tiring out my fingers from trying.
>>100153692putting tips on iems can be tricky until you've done it a few times. try approaching the nozzle at a 45 degree angle so that one half of the tip's interior covers one half of the nozzle well, then rotate it the rest of the way down so that it sits straight and covers both sides.
>>100153692if quarks are anything like the chu 2, yeah the tips don't want to go on at all, just keep trying you're not the only one

>>100153873it only cost $999 goy, pre-order it now!
>>100153873How much?
>>100153692Those nozzles are big as fuck. I've used Hexa tips on the Quarks before and they don't slip off.
>>100154077For international market, I'm estimating >$700. Curved high fps OLED and those specs minus the chip make it look like a more premium oriented offering.
>>100154101Does it have 5G? I don't want to get covid again.
>>100154032goy is a western meme retarded newfag
>>100154101those specs shouldn't cost more than 300$ lmao, Motorola already offers phones with those specs, a headphone jack, and curved high fresh rate OLEDs for less half that
What's the best TWS available right now? ANC being my main concern.Used to own XM3s but lost 'em, I miss the noise cancelling everyday when I commute
>>100154247airpod pros, galaxy buds pro 2, sony meme buds
>>100150366Dunu S&S are long stem deep insert type.
>>100154146Sure, but we're talking about a very small market here. They'll probably upscale the price a lot considering the volume they'll sell. Wouldn't be surprised if it was around $500
>>100152009BAs are real unfortunately.

EPZ Q1 pro vs truthear nova, what does Harman better?The epz gets some points out of the box for the semi-custom shell shape, those are always really comfy
>>100154364>>100150366Stop wasting money on tipsTake a screw and invert some cheap ones, KZ tips are especially good for this. You'll get wide bore ultra grippy tips for free
>>100156275Just ask the seller, he'll tell you to order something else instead of the customization link.
>>100154364for me they're good for any insertion depth, their cylindrical shape fills the ear canal like a mantle to make a good seal
>>100155973so true my nigga, squeek!
>>100156327who cares about shartman
>>100156327nova is a better close approximation of the actual harman target with the more defined bass tuck. q1 pro is more of the usual vaguely harman 1dd tuning we've gotten 20 new implementations of per month since the moondrop starfield. not to say that stricter adherence to harman means nova is better (or worse) though.
>>100154558>muh BA boogeyman Let's move past this meme already.
>>100156925Yes. Say no to BAs today.
So I ordered a Simgot EA500 LM and it comes with this bag of red and black rings. 8-8 each of them. What are these for? I know you can swap out the "nozzle" but what are these rings for?I guess they are the "16 seals for the nozzles", but when do I change them? When should I change them?
Some mid range earbuds (up to $200) that are comfortable and good trebles? I mostly listen to string instrumental music, hate strong bass focused headphonesFor phone listening so they have to sound good on their own without a DAC Amp
Are there any triple-flange eartips for etymotics on aliexpress? Picrel doesn't seal at all with deep insertion.
>>100154361>airpod prossound like shit, subpar ANC for the price (excellent ambient though), will die along with their batteries, better to get xiameme for a fraction of the price>galaxy buds pro 2, sony meme budsactually good sound, excellent ANC in higher models, repairability ranging from somewhat feasible to good
>>100157533help pls :(
>>100157533just a healthy amount of spares for if you ever lose one swapping the nozzle. i don't think you should ever need to change them as a matter of routine, maybe in like 10 years if the material ever starts to degrade.
>>100156925>he thinks it's a memeNot helping the retard allegations, bro.
>>100157868thanks mate, appreciate it!

Are triple flanged tips the best?
moondrop marketing working ot itt
MoonphonePhonedrop
>>100157677Did you order those directly from an Etymotic storefront (their site, Amazon, etc.)?I also ended up with triple-flange tips with the extended stem once upon a time, after ordering direct from their site. I don't recall if I ordered ER38-18CLLs or ER38-18CLs on accident, or if I ordered what appeared to be the original clear triple-flange tips, only to end up with the shitty ones you've posted.As a stop gap measure, I tried cutting the stem off. This did nothing for me, but maybe it will for you.I also found that the extended-stem tips softened with regular use, to the point where I eventually reached comparable seal to the no-stem triple-flange (although noise reduction was at ~90%).
>>100157767Those should be the O rings that you put onto the threads of the nozzles to actually seal them. It's meant to prevent sound leakage.
>>100158079Decent price
>>100158406lmao show it to em sis
>>100158634No, those are just generic ones sold on ali. Unfortunately neither cutting the stem off or making them double flange works. There was a version of them without the longer stem but I'm not sure if it's sold by anyone anymore. I'm only looking for alternatives because etymotic's own tips are too expensive outside US. If I ordered directly from etymotic I'd probably get ER38-18 cause they discontinued frost triple-flanges and new clear tips suck imo.
>>100157533>>100157767They are replacements, to replace if the ones already on the swap nozzles fall off / deteriorate. You don't need to do anything with them fresh out of.the box.
>>100158406call...DROPPED!screen...CRACKED!battery...BLOATED!software...BUGGED!
>>100156272its boosted in bass and treble. at least you wont mix peaky music, but it'll sound "flat" or non-dynamic when played back from something more neutral
>>100157660comfort is subjective. try pairs from amazon to definitively figure out if a particular set works for you, or return if it doesnt. Tanchjim Origin, Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite, Truthear Nova, Geek Wold GK100 should all be bass-lite enough with good treble
>>100156333I inverted those KZ starlines, not really great honestly due to the tendency to revert back to normal.Besides the fact that I paid very little for the dunu tips during sales+ coupons. Don't buy them regular price, true.
how good is Coomdrop MC1 cable with mic?
>>100153873The Dimensity 7050 is good overall, but not when this thing will probably have flagship phone pricing.If this thing costs more than 500 bucks it won't be worth it, not even for the DAC or 3.5 and 4.4 jackEspecially since it will probably have a bloated android version and you might even be forced to use their horrible app.
Will it be any good?
>>100162288>collab griftNo
>>100155934Which $70 one are you talking about
>>100161090prob shite>>100162288>2DD+4BApls no bellsing ba. if so and priced competitively (lower) than Hype4 he has a good chance of selling decent units. maybe my first Timmy and Dunu pos in one
>>100161090>Coomdropwhen will they learn
>>100162288IDK but expect the highest praise from HP.com trannies. Timmy tuned it to 5128 DF 10dB tilt, which is basically the second coming of Jesus Christ for them.

>>100163184i'm wary of collabs in general but i've loved every dunu set i have (sa6, est112, vernus), will probably pick this up too
this queer IEM gives me nightmares, looks almost ominous with its exaggerated cheap chink look and for sure looks like something designed specifically to be shitty
>>100147468Post your IEMs, Chuzo.
>>100147519May I see them?
>>100163548>chuzo becoming a shillgotfucking want to see it happening

>>100163546Wang picked the right design without knowing.
>>100164328I'm curious how many people in the chinkland buy that shit over Tanchjims, Simgots, Letshuoers, ThieAudios, even Moondrops and other domestic companies that can actually attract customers, or maybe chink sense of esthetics is fundamentally different from ours and they find QVEER products beautiful or somethingeven more interesting whether or not even one person outside of china bought that shit
New tips. What do you think?
>>100164529here's a tip - they don't make a difference
>>100164529it's not the legendary cult classic H570 which is objectively proven to be the best tips by a huge margin so it's shit
>>100164546they do and they completely change your insertion depth and by that, you change the whole treble presentation and FR at your eardrum.
>>100164484> or maybe chink sense of esthetics is fundamentally different from oursThey love the color red for instance, even before the commie's takeover. To us, red means the enemy, going into the negatives in budget and stock market, for the it's the exact opposite.
>>100164529Impressive, very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's tips.
>>100164694
some anon on /csg/ recommended these due to the boom mic, also i liked the shiny dragon these come with a 6 sets of eartips, "vocal" eartips and "balanced " eartips its bullshit right? I cant tell the difference other than them being colored or just transparent
>>100164626it's not about the red color, there are some western examples of red products that look nice for general audience, for example Beats has red headphones (albeit shitty), Nokia made red versions of some of their phones (for example 8210), hell, Ferrari is red, so the color is not much of an issue I thinkwhat is an issue is how all ingredients are put together and in case of queer pos the result is atrocious, as if the whole visual side is straight up neglected, at least from the western perspective it looks like the epitome of what we call chink shita less severe but still relevant example: a pos from moondrop of all companies, pic related, same story
>>100164694https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-oMPYJ6SMwHOLY
>>100165156Is the mic any good? I tought about getting the Antlion IEM cable, since their other mics are pretty good.
>>100165356Russian engineering
>>100165156Yeah tips mostly sound the same, there might be some subtle differences in the treble but using the more comfortable tip for you is always the right choice.
>>100164716>>100165356HOLY SHIT! This is amazing! How does it work? This must be the comfiest eartips around with the perfect seal.Moar info pls!
You know what this isn't that bad. There might be some iems this could work for.
>>100165972kek.. you actually bought them?what IEMs are those?
Should I get the tangzu zetian wu
>>100165972Madness god damnSorry for posting those, or your welcome, maybe both
>>100166006Its the origins>>100166066I will find a pos that are improved by these tips I swear it
>>100166011definitely not the purple one, and the other revision gives NGGAR his shillbux. if it's not already last stock, they *should* lower prices for the last pairs. fuck the $200 MSRP, rip off. hidizs mp145, tin p1 max II, nicehck f1 pro, etcetc are all newer better drivers for cheaper.
>>100166381what's wrong with the purp ones
>>100166609even shittier less refined tuning. looks dumb af. still overpriced.
why is castor silver so good bros?
>>100166775because it's not black
I'm a beginner to this audio stuff so I bought a cheap TWS (Moondrop Nekocake), and while I'm liking it so far, my left helicis crus (see pic) is hurting a bit. Am I putting them incorrectly or is it possible the TWS just doesn't fit my ear well? My right ear is fine.
>>100166381Thanks I'll look into those
>>100166967>or is it possible the TWS just doesn't fit my ear well?yeah. also just play around with it and fiddle with it in your ear. it won't blow up and there isn't one universal "right" way to wear them. angle it differently, rotate it, tilt it, try the different sizes of ear tips, etc. but ultimately is it some foolproof uber comfort design? no, it's some generic ass tws with a generic oblong rounded shape. out ears are complex, creased, undulating shape
>>100165375I did a comparison against the usb logitech h390 i currently have, using ms teams test call and its noise cancelling option, I had this kid neighbor of mine scream during the call and also blasted MJ on my cellphone, only heard my voice and there was no difference between both mics, (maybe this one was slightly better) so I think its good enough, also this has dual mics, the detachable boom and the regular one you will find on most headsets so i just put a piece of tape on that to mute it, also it has the regular play/ stop button on it which is nice for cellphone users i guess.
