Ackchyually, the quality of EQ depends on your EQ skills only. I've got a pleasant tuning with my KZ EDX Lite which is really competitive for Kiwi Ears Quintet or Truthear Nova with EQ. Those are even worse without EQ. Overpriced IEM have bare improvements for several times the price. The only reason of buying another expensive pos is to learn how do proper tonal balance or sub base sound like to apply them for cheaper pos.
>>
So I guess I'll double check one last time. Should I cancel my order for the Simgot EA500LM and get Hexas?

There's a 10 dollar coupon on them so they're actually currently the same price.

Hexa has better stock tuning but it's ba pos and it's truthear. It will either arrive broken or some driver will unsolder in 6 months..
LM has unusable stock tuning but it's 1DD so it's salvageable. I heard their nozzle falls of or something, get some glue.

8k peak looks too wide. Probably a real peak somewhere in there. And the kilocent treble will make it stand out even more.

>>101131385
Once you have a 1DD you only change it if it dies or if you don't like the fit. Use EQ if you don't like anything about the sound, 1DD can handle absolutely anything.
>>
>>101131385
hexa was the old fotm, ea500lm is the new fotm. both have their haters and potential build quality issues, but at that price point you won't regret it either way. people are just fucking with you for their amusement. unless you get the chance to a/b test both pairs, you won't know which one is a better deal for you in terms of better comfort and stock sound signature, and these are individual matters so there's no meaningful advice to give.

It's weirdly true. EM6L has an unnatural timbre, I hate it. EA500LM is pretty good and Supermix 4 is nearly perfect. I think he's sabotaging them.

These guys are absolute scammers. For Moondrop, nothing below the Blessings is even decent. Truthear, it's all crap except the Novas, and even that one is mediocre at techs and imaging.

Any thoughts on vented drivers? Seems like a gimmick and sound isolation takes a nosedive. If a basic 1DD design is the best, why are all these companies fucking with multi driver designs with hole technology and fusion reactors and shit? Is it all marketing gimmicks and newbie traps?

Moondrop and Truthear have a very clear progression in sound quality through their lineup, which means the lower models are nerfed. If the clueless buyer sticks with one and keeps moving up the price ladder, they'll feel an improvement. So far, Simgot isn't doing this.

Nearly all single dynamic drivers are vented.
As in any market, companies seek profits, and price differentiates segments. It is up to you as an individual consumer to determine if there is perceived value, and if the cost is justifiable relative to your finances. There are terrible expensive products and fairly good ones. No, subjective internet reviews from fucking idiots and unabashed shills aren't helping you "research" anything. Hearing with your own ears and understanding frequency response reigns absolute over all other opinions.

room reverb/reflections diffuse the transients. try playing back a 10hz saw wave on earpos vs speakerpos and the difference in tactility is night and day. same goes for spatialization which is often a major part of asmr shit, with some asmr incorporating binaural recordings and virtual surround which just won't work on speakers.

The factors that contribute to soundstage also contribute to a less focused sound. Have you ever tried locating something using only sound? it’s hard af. Real life is a cacophony of mud, treble and reverb.
The audio engineers can’t possibly account for room reverb/reflections or listening windows. The purest form of sound is at the eardrum.
Does it sound like real life? finally and timbrally? yes. What gives it away that it’s not real life is the fact that imaging actually exists, something you absolutely cannot get easily in a real life concert setting lmao

It's sound interference caused by relatively big size of drivers. When the sound is transmitted out of any bigger than something which can't be neglected to material point happens sound interference. It literally causes phase shifts throughout the frequency range. Interference happens naturally everywhere. That's why properly equalized headpos sound in a more natural way than pure pos. The advantage of pos is that its frequency response is less distorted and can be easily equalized. Good pos costs cheaper than headpos.

Firstly, I can buy the same audio system he owns and get it delivered to me within a week, but he will never shit in a toilet.
Secondly, calibrated speakers sound nothing like real music performance. Period. This whole argument about sounding "natural" is inherently flawed from very beginning, because it is sterile lab studio conditions.

As per usual, shartur is late on the uptake and realizes that IEMs have inherent disadvantages, and as per usual, he takes it to the extreme and says that IEMs suck and that listening to nature is better.
He also fails to realize that literally every other audio reproduction system also has its own compromises, and that IEMs will most probably be the first reproduction system to actually deliver proper spatial audio reproduction for the masses.

The video critiques in-ear monitors (IEMs), arguing they provide poor sound reproduction compared to other audio devices. It emphasizes that eardrum measurements are only a part of the total sound experience, and IEMs lack a proper sound stage, making them sound closed-off and isolated. The speaker finds IEMs impractical, particularly wired ones, due to their restrictive cables during physical activities. Over-ear headphones are preferred for their ability to create a better sound stage and provide higher bass impact.

The speaker notes that natural sounds and over-ear headphones offer a more enjoyable listening experience than IEMs. Adding reverb to IEMs is not seen as a solution to their lack of sound stage and bass dynamics. The video references past discussions on earphones with drivers at the end of a tube, reinforcing that IEMs cannot provide good sound quality. Even stereo speakers, despite being a compromise, are considered superior to IEMs.

The video concludes that IEMs, especially wired ones, are pointless and a waste of hearing capacity. The speaker recommends using over-ear headphones or good speakers for a better listening experience.

This got me thinking and the answer is technically speaking there are no "gear locked" genres of music since one can listen and enjoy to his tunes even on laptop speaker if hes unironically senile plus completely oblivious to actually good audio quality that exist out there.
But for those in the know how upgrading to better gear can make a big difference when it comes to a subset of genres. These include but not limited to, Mathrock, Prog-Rock, pretentious avant garde j-pop, early 2000s Post Hardcore, might as well throw in straight up Incredibly well mastered albums of the past. All these reap benefits from highly technical drivers which can retrieve details even the artist didn't intended kek.

Honestly, there are several ranging from a few singles to entire albums. Off the top of my head; Take the entire DIM tracklist from the Gazette, not only does it sounds crisp but is also boasts phenomenal mixing for a visual-kei album. Many of Sokoninaru tracks have intricate high tempo details which will get lost on low accurate drivers. Still a sigure Virgin is like this as well. For post hardcore, Define The Great Line/Underoathe, TCFSR/MCR. Alt rock; Ritual/White Lies. White Pony/Deftones, The NBHD's self titled.

Speakerpos sounds nothing like real musician performance and there is nothing they can do about it, and they know it is true based on objective data.
So they created their own delusional reality that it is the best just because it is the best, the moment you accept it - you lose. Go to your local band concert. Support the real music. Listen to it, enjoy it. And then pick your side, anon.
