I don't really like giant IEMs that go deep in to my ear, they're rather uncomfortable. Are there any recommended IEMs that have a fit more like TWS buds where they don't go in as deep? I like the Chu II as they dont go in deep but looking for something with a bit of a higher price tag and performance than $20.
>>101166454What you are looking for is an earbud, get the blue vidos for 5 bucks tops

>>101167531sounds kino
>>101167531I don't buy iems for how they look anonHow do they feel in your ears and how do they sound?
>>101165673I have this one. Prefer the 3000
>>101167309Shilled. They're not comfortable, and the included cable is dogshit, easily the worst one I have used by far. It's still a good pos, but you'd need to spend more in accessories to get a good experience.
Looks of an IEM should matter by the way. It is not just about the aesthetics, but rather more so how much the manufacturer care about their product. It showcases the amount of love they put into it. That they want you to cherish it and treat it like a tool that you posess. A piece of technological marvel, which allows you a sonorous glimpse into the artists sovl who may or may not be alive, and may not even be living in your country. All while being at the comfort of your personal space. It is truly analogous to how a good looking camera inspires you to pick it up and go outside for photography. Similarly an IEM which is beautiful, makes you wear them more often which ultimately elevates your music listening experience by the virtue of knowing you are using something that is equisitely crafted.
>>101167663So what is a good budget one then? I swear people just act like they're all dogshit while everywhere else seems to claim this is the best time ever for budget iemsWhat's even bad about the cable and what was uncomfortable about them?
You're not immune to placebo/nocebo.
>>101167577>I don't buy iems for how they look anonI'd explain it to you but you just wouldn't get it.
Shitgot 500lm came inSeparation and details are really good, howeverWhichever any of you fucking retards who claim this is a "mild V" needs to get their hearing checked. This is 2017 level chinkshit V. The tuning is all kinds of fucked. Shit made me think of the rock zircon kekImagine calling this a "side grade" to hexa, when hexa still has the best, well thought out tuning under $200. Seriously, hexa will continue to sound good 5 years from now, while all these meme tuned sets will be "obsolete"
>>101167743blah blah blah repeatfag
>>101167709You see I'm not some normie evaluating the bass on some crooning nigger's jazz track. I'm hyper trained and focused on one thing: how cute do the lolis sound? The techs are make or break. My takes are completely objective.
>>101167695>So what is a good budget one then? I swear people just act like they're all dogshit while everywhere else seems to claim this is the best time ever for budget iemsSomething comfortable. A comfortable pos is valuable than a marginally better sounding pos. Zero :2 is my favorite budget pos, but many complain about the shell. Chu 2 is a safe budget option comfort wise.>What's even bad about the cable and what was uncomfortable about them?The cable not only felt cheap even compared to other 20 dollars pos but it also irritated my ears. It's the only cable that had caused me physical pain.
>>101167743Did you change the nozzle? I think the consensus is that two of the nozzles are pretty hot and the third is more reasonable, i forget which but you should be able to look it up on squig.link easily
>>101167695>So what is a good budget one then?Epz q1 proMuch nicer quality shell, cable is fine, tuning is good.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806280784069.html
>>101167848>collabdoesn't exist to me
>>101167695>people just act like they're all dogshit while everywhere else seems to claim this is the best time ever for budget iemsIt's a matter of historical perspective. Budget pos is better than ever at that price point, and diminishing returns start faster than ever. Modern sub $100 pos is better than flagships of yesteryear. Travel 20 years back in time and people would shit themselves if you told them there's gonna be $50 planar iems, inflation or not, and nobody seriously cared about trying to come up with more or less industry standard tuning targets making the average pos sound rather consistent out of the box, comparable to other models, give or take a little flavor, not to mention the cheapest and shittiest phone or PC you can imagine lets you run wavelet or equalizer apo or w/e and effortlessly equalize your pos using online repositories of presets and measurements nowadays. This is 4chan so of course everything has to be a piece of shit and people are only gonna focus on the negatives. People are gonna say like, oh Chu 2 has chipping paint, the mystery hole gets clogged, it's a pos, but the truth of the matter is that it mogs ancient iems that people paid insane money for at the time. At no point in history were you getting this much value for this little money.

>>101169025>inverted polarity pos
gave wanker to someone and it blew them away, supposedly. Using earbuds right now. Temperament x10. If this thing had more bass it would be endgame and the only earbuds you'd need, it does 't perform well with certain songs, usually pop and rock it misses. but it just sounds so goddamn clean and more technical than my other buds. It's like a hd600 flathead, now they need to make the hd650gnite
>>101169025>listening to Supermix for a few weeks>EA500LM sounds slightly veiled now
>>101169369maybe the female poison chink tuners were on to something judging by how retarded some anons here are
>>101167743I was about to agree but sorry hexa is fucking trash, you are out of your mind.
Is there an actual cra upgrade yet?
>>101169335what other budpos are comparable to this dentpos annihilator?
>>101169369what do you mean when a pos sounds whaled?
>>101169475Nope, it's still kingI also am starting to believe based on some recent squig measurements that if you buy a set today it measures pretty damn close to the release version
>>101170048idk what measurement you're looking at, but the 2024 cra one from OB odio is drastically different.internal volumes for the driver also seem different on the new revised model
>>1011676343000 is the one with most bass or balanced one, and 2000 is bassy?
>2024+6months>niggas still don't realize cra(p) tuning can be achieved on nearly any generic chifipos 1dd with some mesh filtersyou lot are bloody useless
>>101170187tbf crapzos are mainly referring to cra(p) treble extension
>>101170187It's the blazingly fast decay, extended bass with subdued upper mids that made them special. Treble boost is an added plus. Really haven't seen anything else under $100 that managed to achieve it.
>>101169475no cra is still best at giving you tinnitus
>>101170187Why brands are so reluctant to venture on that type of tuning then instead of releasing the same shitty neutral.
>>101170347nigga chifi v-shapes are dime-a-dozen. it just means a resonating peaky less-dampened 1DD.

Anons, I need to be able to take calls and move around at work while being able to quickly connect to different devices, but I still wanna grove to a wide range of music Recommend me something with bluetooth and microphone(s) that doesn't sound like shit, pleaseBudget no more than $500. Used to have Nothing earbuds (ear) and thought they were fine, but that company has absolutely fucked customer support and won't replace my month old buds after one just gave up
>>101170651>with bluetooth >and microphone(s) that doesn't sound like shitMutually exclusive. Bluetooth in headset mode switches to 24kbit/s audio, and not smart 24kbit like opus, just total dogshit delta modulation from 50 years ago. Maybe try some gaming twshit that uses a dongle, like jbl quantum tws.
>>101166995All the top row IEMs are collab garbage except wankers lmao. How are they so powerful.

I'm surprised by how good metal sounds on the EA500LM. Is this a genre they're just good with?
>>101164165This stupid target is the only thing that works for me on headphones. Full-range by ear EQ. And it's still only 90% as good as harman ie 2019 with 2dB less lower treble and ear resonances fixed, which I can achieve on any IEM in 5 minutes.
do the chu 2 have the same issues with moisture and getting muted as the originals? are they still worth getting? I am honestly mostly biased towards them because i really like their aesthetic and the price range, but i want something that isn't going to be broken in a month
>>101170936They have the same moisture problems, but they implemented a band-aid fix by allowing the user to replace the filter with ease (nozzle can be removed for easy access to the filter)
>>101170645HEY NEWFAGGOT FUCKING RETARD. THOUSANDS OF CHIFI IEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR OVER A FUCKING DECADE NOW.

>>101171222What I'd like to see locally is probably shit I'd be reluctant to order blind, brands that get fewer reviews and shilling outside of memes, like Dunu, Soundmagic, Faeaeaeaeeal. What I'd actually pick to sell if I were running a business is probably shit with appealing shell design and decent reviews at many price points, especially budget pos, to cater to normalniggers - Tangzu, Moondrop. What I'd actually do as a consoomer is order well-reviewed shit for less on chinksite anyway.

Since they're both harman, how much better are variations compared to iems like the epz q1 pro?
>>101172102q1 pro is much better than variations.
>>101172026trying to find what budget IEMs to buy feels like a circle, whenever I feel set on one thing, people say it's shit and to get another oneI swear people can't come to a conclusion as to whether they're all shit or they're all good
>>101172191the reality is that new popular budget iems mostly represent slight variations on a sound signature that is basically pleasing to everyone. i'd prioritize build and comfort.

>>101172369Comfort is always an individual matter. For example people praise flatpos for their comfort but flatpos always hurt my ears. Cable is shit by modern standards, but not long ago the standard was bulletpos with unbraided non-detachable mega microphonic pube-thin shit.
>>101172380Speakers are good for every genre, I don't expect anything less from my pos.
>>101172411I'd batter his tight tranny cunny
>>101172263of those specific pos the only ones i have are c2 and zero:2 (actually the original zero but afaik the shell is 100% the same). c2 is very solid and premium-feeling but it definitely does hurt my ears with the edges, would not recommend unless your concha is large. it is a highly preferred pos for me sound-wise but i can't wear it for very long and would not want it as my only iem. zero fit is inoffensive and painless but it fits very shallow; i couldn't get a good seal with mine without aftermarket tips.but yeah it's probably not helpful to just give you two more highly individual impressions lol. here are some generic comments about pos build and comfort>metal pos are more questionable than plastic pos, depending on the nozzle filter material they may or may not clog from exposure to moisture. that moisture can come from humidity in the air around you or from moisture depositing from your ear canal onto the body of the pos if it's colder than your body temperature. it is not always an issue for all metal pos but for the thick black cloth filters moondrop uses it is. this is never an issue with plastic pos.>depending on the shape of a metal pos, it may weigh heavily on certain small areas of your ear and make them sore>nozzle thickness, the thickness of the area just behind the nozzle, and nozzle angle are more important in determining pos comfort than nozzle length>shallow-fitting pos are almost never uncomfortable but may require trying many different kinds of tips to form a good seal, and longer distance from the eardrum moves the canal resonance to a lower frequency, causing it to be more audible and sharp. eq can mitigate this.

>>101172544You are not allowed to discuss cringe and his employers. They work together to bring IEMs down to the level of headpos.

If $20 pos and $500 graphs the same, what exactly is the difference other than the shell?

>>101173157With $500 pos you can't really tell how it graphs.
So I'm listening through my Fiio E10K and I'm noticing some electric noise when not playing music? Should I be concerned about that? I have it in low gain and everything so I'm not sure what's causing it.
>>101173556You got fiio'd. Buy from companies that know how to make low noise devices. Dongs from OP have no noise.
>>101173598Huh, ok. What's weird is that my dentphones don't have this issue. Or at least I've never noticed it.
>>101173612It's not weird at all, headphones have lower sensitivity. In a quiet enough room you'd hear it.
>>101173157theres no difference
>>101173157Frequency response is part of the fidelity and timbre - but not all of it, I'll explain why:Housing resonance is one factor. Think of a room - you can't EQ out the resonance. It'll always sound like your room, no matter what. Just like acoustic guitars, with different shapes. The housing affects the tone. And with planars, the driver is large and floppy, making it resonate even more, causing planar timbre. Another factor is driver material. This affects how the driver itself resonates. You can't EQ fast, punchy bass into a slow, loose-sounding driver. Think of bass guitar strings - they have many harmonic overtones, and different strings (flatwound, round, nickel or steel plated etc) sound VERY different. The harmonics and resonant frequencies change. When a driver vibrates, it can move and resonate differently, based on material.I've noticed with Truthear Hola, you can improve timbre with EQ, but you can't fix it. The treble is still metallic, no matter how many hours I've spent making EQ profiles. It's sharp and hissy-sounding.
>>101173533stop self shilling brownoid poo worshipper
>>101173877In hola there's a very narrow peak around 11kHz.
>>101173943That guy looks like someone dropped a turd on the camera lens.
>>101173954retard, those things aren't made with laser precision. they're slapping 5 cent tupperware lids on 5 cent copper coils. the peaks on his unit could be anywhere.
>>101174040Use your ears. Not being able to EQ something is 100% a skill issue. Sometimes left and right pieces have peaks in different locations so you'll have to listen for them separately.
>>101174067watch how the retard pivots
>>101174040nta but kz's iems are made by machines, the proof is in their channel balance, they're using internal welded coils and still using cheap ass plastic film pet for the diaphragm. crazy how nobody here talks about the processes of making the pos they rant about.
>>101173877Buy a coupler, because you can't seem to EQ by ear.
>>101165556I've used Sony MH755, CCA CRA, 7hz Salnotes Zero and Moondrop Space Travel and out of the four, Sony Mh755 was my favorite.Which budget IEM would you recommend me?
>>101173157IMD
Bottom of the barrel headpos like beyers can have audible IMD warbling, on IEMs you can only get it on 1BAs.
>>101173157techs are stored in the price.
>>101174714But you have to be aware of the price. Otherwise $5000 headpos sounds like airpods!
ready for anim... headphone pro take?And I thought calling yourself audiophile unironically was cringe as fuck.
>>101174882>shitcancer
>>101172354Maybe i phrased it wrong. They don't suck at those genre's, but i have buds that have a bigger rumble on the low bass, these have punchy mid-bass. in the end that's all preference. I like to have a rumble on certain songs/genre's. You can most likely not get better mids for the price.
>>101174705There's a long distance between 'oh shit this is bad imd' and slight but discernible flavor difference.
>>101174481basshead is still an underserved segment. cca trio from aliexpress or samsung akg earphones. if you are american, your local walmart should stock the samsungs, beware of buying online there are fakes.
>>101174632 ok... crin already told me this 2 years ago
crin told me he likes my legs
>>101174481Those are all budget shit. You won't be impressed if you're an audiophile. Try Supermix 4 and an Apple 3.5mm dac if you want to impressed for a modest price.

show me an audiophile who doesn't like 12 year olds. that's right. you can't.
>>101176348Too old.
>>101167695>everywhere else seems to claim this is the best time ever for budget iemsIt's true. We are inundated with quality micro speakers for cheap prices. Critical consumer reviews should discuss pros and cons though. Anons who bicker about xyz or pos have a root point, reasons why a product may not be the top pick for a particular consumer. You need to determine whether an IEM's aesthetics, accessories, and sound is good for you, while keeping in mind potential QC concerns and failure points. No product is scoring some perfect 10 in every regard. These are ultra budget chink IEMs we are talking about. Be realistic, they have their compromises and weak points. That doesn't take away from the sound of budget IEMs being agreeable for most people, they are mostly side-grades of good.

>>101178379which foam? how can you EQ something that 1mm coupling difference completely changes the FR?
>>101178409>he doesn't know about local adjustments
>>101178409it comes with foams, or trig rainbuy it and try it
>>101178425Local? Half of the FR moves entirely and the other half gets randomized.
>>101178425>foam degradation changes the sound>foam thickness/donut changes the sound>"local adjustments" change the soundbut just eq
>>101178485Foam more bassNo foam less bassit ain't rocket scienceyou could even try a silicon ring + foams if you find bass lacking or the fit is too small
>>101167309At the time of its release it had no real competition. This was before Hola, only decently tuned IEM was chu and that was thin sounding af by comparison. not nearly as natural of a listen. Zero OG was basically a chu without the 6khz peak(which helped) but was basically the same damn thing. So wankers crushed it in the scene as basically the only warm neutral HD650-ish kinda sound.now? it has much more competition which is why it’s obviously still good but just not a budget KILLER.I have Gate and it’s basically an upgraded chu in sound the best way I can describe it. It’s a downtilted chu more or less which does indeed sound good.even then gate is not like murdering the scene either, but to my ears it beats the wan’er slightly.tl;dr wan’er is not bad and will never be bad. But there are better options IMO

You can even hear ego crackle of local expensive pos possessors when someone mentions that EQ > anything
I EQ my kilopos so whats the issue
no issue besides wasting hundreds of dollars when chang put it together for 50
>>101178855Doesn't get any more real than thathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szoS-IUembc>>101178927As long as you EQ there's no issue. It's when you think something doesn't need EQ you have a problem.
the issue is that you can EQ $5 pos and get virtually the same result
can the 5128 head and torso be achieved natty?
>virtuallyThat's the issue, it is only virtual and exists in your head.
i will spend 980 dollars to get a non virtual sound
