>>101094384>Any other recs for smaller ones under $50?Why do you need more? You have Chu2. Hit play and enjoy music. Buying more IEMs (especially still in the ultra budget realm) haphazardly and expecting drastic differences is foolish. Regardless, I wouldn't consider the Cadenza or Conch mentioned, neither have particularly great fit. EPZ Q1 Pro, Celest Wyvern, Tanchjim ONE could be considered. Also, Tinhifi T1S and Kefine Delci.
HoF update when?is tangzu waner still the GOAT?
>>101094582Obsoleted by gate
>>101094580I mentioned it on the previous thread but the idea behind buying more than one is that I wanted to understand what kind of sound I enjoy the most to find a definitive one. I found interpreting a graph with a single iem to be a little confusing, so having at least two to compare was more practical.This is also why I'm sticking to below the $50 bar, I don't find much point in trying to go for a $300 iem, I doubt I would be able to "appreciate it". The Chus themselves already sound amazing to my ears, but I do want to try to find a clearer alternative at my target price point.

>>101094741your ears must be shit then if you think your eq is consistently good
>>101094749I would rather bakerzo do it
>>101094582not really a goat, but it's the most consistent. decent packaging, decent availability, and decent sound>>101094591sure, wouldn't be mad with the gate instead of the wankers>>101094635same thing here, although /iemg/ hates collabs so it's been on the fence for a while>>101094620learn eq, hopefully eqtard responsible for the guide can hurry his ass up and deliver on his promise (he's broken 17 promises as of now)
>warm-ish signature sounds best with male vocals>harman-ish sounds good with female vocalswhy is that such a short blanket? which IEM has GODLY female and male vocals??
>>101094795Who the fuck cares about male vocalsOptimizing for cute anime girl asmr is what most high testosterone heterosexual men goes for
>>101094675i'll never forgive you fuckers for that.
>>101094692I decided to spend big $$$ to skip eq and got Faaeals.
>>101094795>>101094795>>harman-ish sounds good with female vocals>opting for sibilance, scratchiness, peaks instead of smoothness and low blows in emotiondick while listening Rookie mistake anon, rookie mistake.
>>101094620No, that's reasonable. Even graphs are meaningless until you've compared a few iems. And you realize how misleading the graph can be. The truthears are indeed trash. I'll say this, newcomers have it very good rn. You can only guess how much a Supermix 4 would blow you away with it's fidelity for $135. I suggest you borrow or buy one.

>>101095867Use soulseek, get the nicotine+ client, share music or people will block you from downloading from them. Most music on there is meticulously tagged FLAC or whatever the highest quality of the recording is available if it was only released digitally.
>>101094591Pre-obsoleted by hola and hola is pre-obsoleted by wanker. Also wanker pre-obsoletes every IEM that dies at 20kHz on 5128. Kilobuck treble is no joke.

>>101096186you are deaf we get it
>>101096403I understand your frustration. Being scammed into buying an IEM that isn't even full-range is cruel.

can i get wavelet to work instantly instead of taking 2 seconds to apply? my ears get blasted because of negative preamp whenever i change tracks. any better apps?
>>101096561That's not normal I think. But I'm using root jamesdsp so I can't tell. Check if other player apps behave the same. Try giving it additional permissions in adb.
>>101096432Yeah why did you scam me into buying wankers? How could you?
>>101096540>faaeal rosemary>down to $9I hate gear bloat and redundancy but I'm tempted to get backup one, this time in 3.5mm.

they started sending pos in red aliexpress packages
>>101097760yeah, if you're a homo.

>>101097760Only real music is real musichttps://music.youtube.com/watch?v=WSg_6Osx-eE
EPZ Q1 Pro, Tinhifi C2, Moondrop Chu II or TRN Conch if I mainly just want a cheap pair of IEMs, ideally with a V shape sound signature to use on the plane/in hotel room?
>>101097760Wrong. The real music is collection of farts each with varying level of reverbs and randomly spaced throughout the whole track. Letting me use the IEM's bass response to its fullest.BA farts sounds so artificial compared to DD farts.
>>101097919does it even matter which $5 background noise generator you use?
after using buds + eq for a few weeks i think i might actually prefer them over everything else
>>101097980I mean every audio product is just a noise generator, this entire thread is dedicated to it
>>101097987I agree.

>>101098632Why did you buy that pos...
Faaeal Iris Ancestor is better than vidos. almost the same price to.
>>101098725Because they got good reviews and I like sennheiser. I'll update the firmware and spend time today listening to them. My ears will be the judge if I decide to keep them.

>>101098823They all look like cheap plastic shit. I'd like something with bold angular surfaces but you're constrained by ear anatomy and don't want the pos to be too bulky. Hexa is probably the closest thing to the shape I want but the material, screws and logo make them look like $0.03 airplane buds. More """futuristic""" designs just end up looking like kinder surprise toys - some FiiO and Dunu designs are borderline criminal.

>>101101085because it's literally just a speaker hanging there in the open, all the tricks chinks use to tune cheap IEMs like vents and filters can't be used so tuning is much harder. you're supposed to use EQ to tune them to your preference
>>101101085There are peaks and dips built into the measuring rig itself. They're there because the rig is meant to emulate a human ear, outside and inside. The emulation is needed to make the headphone/IEM sound like they would sound on a human, the ear is part of the system. Measuring a headphone with a raw mic is like measuring speaker drivers without a speaker cabinet, doesn't tell you anything.

LMAO fuck everyone that said these were shit; these things sound amazing with EQ. The stock sound is a bit recessed in the mids with veiled highs and good bass; the soundstage is decently wide. I'm using an autoeq wavelet preset, and it makes the mids/highs more punchy/punctual, adding a bit of clarity to the overall sound. The bass is thumping but not overwhelmingly so. It's more revealing than the samshit buds 2 pro (my previous buds).
>>101102193Here's the EQ in question
>>101101022name them
>>101102193They're shit because they have no wires.
>>101102310This post is retarded.
>>101102310crack them open and you will see wires
Just got this oil-impregnated IEM cable, and WOW, the difference is night and day! The bass is now buttery smooth, mids are crystal clear, and highs are sparkling like never before. The soundstage expanded so much, it's like I'm in the studio with the band. Who knew a cable could do all this? #AudiophileLife
>>101102336>his cable was impregnated by someone elseBro...
>>101102175>the popcorn shilling has hit my feedanother day another pos>>101102336mine should arrive today too. techs finna be lit
>>101102325What a scam.
>>101101820Check your eyes.
>>101102390For $240, it's not a bad deal. I'd never pay $300 for any TWS.
>ideal planned obsolescence tech with batteries you can't replace
>>101102410lmao my budpos cost $1 you got scammed
>>101102193Glad you like them. I only once tried their TWS2 and it was a shitshow - 3h battery out of box and I was unable to find the right EQ.
>>101102452lol this nigga sticks gum in his ears lmao even>>101102473This is my first pair, but from everything that I researched, they seem to have ironed out a lot of the issues from the last few generations. Time will tell how long they continue to work, but first impressions are very good.
>>101100872My starfields lasted 2.5 years with heavy usage every day including running. My theory is that all new hyped pos have bad qc and will die in a year, only the older stuff will stand the test of time, hopefully the next IEM I get will last me 5 years at least but it seems like the quality of everything nowadays has only been getting worse and worse.
>>101102408JM-1 isn't bad, it's just that the one iem that does magically comply with it (Hexa) sucks. A 1DD tuned to it would be an eye-catcher for me.
>>101101017Hearing AIDs
>>101102612what's wrong with hexa? it seemed to be getting ok reviews and i was considering getting either it or one of the simgots, depending on favorable chinksite deals
>>101101443Airpod Pros unironically.
>>101102667>what's wrong with hexa?Nothing, it's the best neutral IEM under $100, anyone who calls it bad is just a paid shill for another company.
>$41>better ergonomics (smaller, low profile)>better comfort/stability>$43>better sound quality/techs>noticeably better specs (anc, calls, etc)does the fact that EQ exists favors the former here
>>101101443>Sennheiser True Wireless 3That's your problem. The 4s don't have these issues.
I see flatzo got tired of shilling flatpos and decided to move to TWSpos subject now.
^ schizo meltdown
>>101102746the flatanons are busy enjoying music rn
>>101102667>What's wrong with Hexa?It's simply not worth the money because if you can EQ, you can mimick Hexa's tonality on a way cheaper set. Fit can also be an issue (personally it's fine for me but I don't wear iems for more than 30 mins - 1 hour so take my opinion with a grain of salt).
Do my pos sound better than flatheads? Yes they do. Are they nostalgic and comfy bringing back the times when you actually listened to the music? No, they are not. Budpos takes a big win here.

>>101102746>there is one person who has different opinion than me and that person can't have different opinion
>NOOOO sir please do not redeem hexa, it's waste of money sir, please sir kindly redeem my $5 aliexpress pos instead and EQ it, it's just as good I promise sir
>>101102794budpos with eq can be surprising good
>>101102830I own the Hexa, retard. I can say it sucks as much as I want.
>>101102844I know. But it is against the philosophy of budpos downshifting and enjoying the simple things and music without struggling for perfection. I do EQ my kilopos, but not 15$ budpos.
>>101102869perhaps but for me it is a win
>schizo thinks $5 buds is all I have
>>101102850saving pictures of hexa graphs doesn't mean you own the iem though
>>101102667The REAL problem of hexa is the fake crossover that lets the BAs play subbass. It will remain meh even if you EQ it to a non-gay target. Only people that listen to basslet music think it sounds fine because they don't stress it enough.
>>101102794I listen to way more music now than when I had budspos (2005). I don't miss anything I had before 2020. I got smabat st-10s(the supposedly "bassy" buds) to revisit buds and they were ear rape.
>>101102727Isn't 4NC a huge step up? Sounds like a terrible deal to go with the A40 when they are similarly priced. I never owned either though, so I could be wrong.
>>101102890>Verification not required.
>>101102883bruh whos making these macros lmafoooo
>>101103079It's got the dog techs, of course it sounds better.

We’re in a new era folks.it is now time for the vidozo to reign and wreck havoc in these threads
>>1011030791DD bros keep on winning, what do now BAbros??
>>101103183based...
>>101103183For me it's new cycle: dropped out from headphones, completed IEMs in a year, covered my TWS need, now I hit reset and started new build with cheapest buds.
the one pos everyone forgot about

ye its cool but get catcoin and have exactly what shib and doge did before 1000x(you can evne look up catgirl coin)

does anyone have a tabao account
>>101103241What's with all the garbage in the background.>>101103255I've got EDM tracks with waveform that looks like a brick and still sounds punchy and crispy etc, and then there's Metallica that is just a monotonous wall of sound. DR by itself doesn't mean anything.

>>101101324>non-tonal aspects of sound reproductionDoesn't exist
>>101103307The mastering to the ear of the audio engineer is always the most important thing. I will say though that sometimes “”””remasters”””” enter the loudness wars and those people are incompetent and just create loud shouty messy mixes cause they’re retarded
>>101103385There are brickwalled remasters that sound way better then the original release, stop regurgitating boomer memes and listen to music

i know techs aren't real, but which sub $100 pos has the best techs?
might auto EQ my vidos to chaconnes
>>101103919Anything that costs exactly $99.99
>>101103919whichever fotm has a male mascot
>>101103941holy based
>>101103919Techs are just how much the iem makes budget shitters seethe, so the answer is kz ling long.
Techs are the masculine element, tuning is the feminine element. We have to wait for Moondrop no Pico to experience true techmaxxing.
>>101103466only if the audio engineer knows what they’re doing
>>101104000He. Let's not pretend women know what they're doing.
I know what exactly techs are but I wont tell.
