>>101038535Truthear NOVA is the Trained Listener's choice.
sounds good

Is the Truthear Zero Red worth double the price of the Gate? Any other options below $50 I should consider? I want to buy a few things off AliExpress to take advantage of their coupons and Summer Sale, and figure I'd try an IEM for the first time. The Gate at below $20 is almost an impulse buy, but I don't mind spending a bit more for higher quality either.
>>101038564very nice and cool, Sharur!>>101038585what the fuck is this tranny shit!? post hands NOW!!!
>>101038819>cringicleshitNo
>>101038845So just get the Gate? Or is there another brand you'd suggest instead?
>>101038819i wouldn't recommend zero red. terrible, awful (i really can't emphasize this enough) fit.anemic bass, that becomes muddy if you put on the impedance adapter (also makes it really hard to drive for an IEM).there's also a huge peak at like 13khz that makes cymbals really painful. this is with the narrow bore, with the wide bore it's even worse.
>>101038872get the cca trio or kz vader (balanced), and spend the rest on whatever tips you want. i recommend s&s tips.
>>101038564The blue color brings sovl to the harman target.
>>101038872Gate is the best cheap plastic pos, other options like 4u or ea500lm are more expensive. Avoid all kzshit.
are the bootleg 711 coupler still the go to for diy measurement? do they work with over ear and on ear too?
>>101038918>are the bootleg 711 coupler still the go to for diy measurement? yes>do they work with over ear and on ear too?yes but you need to buy the plate + kb500x clone pinna, which is around $300-500
Looking for recommendations on triple flange ear tips. Any other fans out there?
>>101038911>Gate is the best cheap plastic posIs this the general consensus here, even better than the wankers? My Gate is arriving tomorrow, the measurements do not look too great desu, while I can tolerate less bass I'm especially worried about the 5k area being too much.
>>101038882Earlet lmao
>>101039162apologies that my ear isn't angled like that of a non-human
>>101039145You worry too much. On the other hand, being a sissy might be your nature, so there's nothing you can do about it.
>>101039145Very few anons actually have it, I haven't seen anyone post their posAs for competition, it really doesn't matter man, they all sound much more similar than different.
>>101039204Stretch your earussy more, lil boi. I wear my reds with Kbear 07 L tips no problem for hours.
>>101039231it's the angle not the canal sizeI wear most iems with L tips
>>101039236Works 4 me
>>101039162>>101039145>>101038977>>101038911>>101038882Cheap POS enjoyer here. I have the zero:red along with wankers and some other cheap POS not really worth mentioning too much(c0 elf is great but that shell)Gato isn’t in yet so I can’t report on that but personally I like the reds and they’re my daily driver. It’s another take on neutral tonality and it does them well.>>101038882I agree with this anon, Harmanfags are full of shit, too much subbass will muddy up the sound. I prefer it without the adapter.>fitThe nozzle is wide but cmon man not that wide…it is maybe 1mm thicker diameter than most standard IEMs, not a huge deal to me.>soundas previously stated without adapter to me is best. Very neutral. I might be slightly in the Harman camp where just the tiniest bit more of upper mids would bring out that clarity and detail more, but I also like the more relaxed tone of the reds so…w/e. They are both similar and dissimilar to the infamous “sennheiser neutral” at the same time. The zero reds has no veil as a positive. It is also not quite as “intimate” and “lovely” as a negative, that award would go to quarks.They should satisfy most listeners but….Your mileage may vary.Once I get Gato I’ll do some comparisons with my other POS
>>101038837Ok but it's been red lately from sunburn

>>101039467Fuck you, you faggot!I never said I was anything else other a saint!
>>101039145it should be a general consensus, but gate's reception is mild because people can't stop parroting the whole "le worse hola" crap and soiling gate's releasekz and poozu shares the same garbage quality plastic, you will notice that with how especially light poozu wankers aremy gate didn't arrive yet, but so far no reviewers pointed out anything negative about the quality of gate's plastic, because they can't stop parroting "it isn't hola"truthear is more legit than poozu at leastjust avoid kz/cca like the plague, the shill who first replied to you is straight up falseflagging
>>101039329>Harmanfags are full of shit, too much subbass will muddy up the soundit's muddy because of the mid-bass boost (80-300Hz)the sub-bass boost doesn't cause the mud>The nozzle is widenot the wideness of the nozzle but the angle + stubbyness
>>101039526We will see, I have no experience with Hola, so for me Gate will be just another pos. I will compare it to Zero 2 (horrible shell, Gate looks better and hopefully will fit better; so far reviewers were pleased with the fit iirc) and Hexa (obviously better build, but I'm excited how well Gate holds up, especially sound wise I don't see a reason why it should be worse).

Got $20 for shit and giggles. Hola or Gate?

>>101039443judging by size/shape of a hand, size/shape of an ear in pic from back then and shit like those candy stuff and mom's milk tea for good lactation, at this point I think it's pretty safe to say that the Saint is actually the Saintess
>>101039563Both midbass and subbass can contribute to muddiness. wan’er has more midbass than zero:red with adapter but the perception of it to my ears is still slightly quicker and not as drowned out. >excessive midbasstubby warm feeling. Classic veil>excessive subbasssluggish wubb wubbling.it is easier to overdoe midbass but not impossible to have excess sub either
Why did I order my gato off amazon... it will take over a month to arrive. Fuck me.
Why did the redmi buds 5 flew under the radar? Mine just arrived and they're honestly better than the Space Travel which gets shilled pretty much everywhere.Is it just because they're ugly?
>>101039732>[waner] not as drowned outthis can be due to the boosted 1k-3k over the red w/ imp, lessening the perceived tilted.>excessive sub-bassreminder that only < 80 Hz is sub-bass.sub-bass is only muddy when it's really loud (around +13dB).
rate my pos

>>101041639the LM is mighty and very satisfying, it shines with clarity, shimmer and note weight as strong as a hit of a hammer no matter the frequency, but due to 5kHz bump the female poison is sometimes too intense depending on the song, so don't forget to get the official Simgot tuning kit for like $5 or so and use included mesh filters to bring it down

Why are some IEMs wired with reverse polarity? How can you tell if yours is wired this way???
>>101046011do this but with gate instead of true endgame
>>101045099what
>>101046028It ultimately doesn't matter. depending on how the driver and it's connection points are made, it's sometimes easier to just wire it in reverse polarity.as long as polarity between the two sides is the same, it doesn't really matter. absolute polarity is audible, but negligible when it comes to preference (ignoring the fact that no one in a studio checks for correct polarity anyways, so it really doesn't matter all that much).
>>101046168>as long as polarity between the two sides is the same, it really doesn't matter.WRONG. this is only the case for speakers.your iems could have different polarities and you will never know
>>101046383assuming you're talking about mismatched polarity (ie one side wired with inverse polarity relative to the other), then no, the issue is very very audible. if you can't detect relative polarity issues, you're deaf.
>>101046168I don't understand why it's easier to wire them with inverted polarity.The reason why I asked is because I saw one IEM manufacturer and he swears by "inverted polarity".I also heard people claim that all of the Moondrop IEMs are of reverse polarity. Some people even claim that you can improve Moondrop IEMs by reversing it and making it "normal" polarity.Why do so many manufacturers do it??????
>>101046816remember that most people are retarded.again, it probably has to do with how solder points are placed on the driver. small detail, but for large scale production, it's better to simplify everything.any reason related to sound quality is mostly bogus, and can be ignored. if you want to know how abs polarity works, looks for a book on psychoacoustics, there should be a section on how hair cells in the inner ear behave.

>>101043141You won't be able to EQ this, it's 40mm, it'll distort instantly.
>>101047444That's dumb. By inversing polarity of a just one channel you get heavily distorted sound.>>101047482Moondrop Variations, Truthear Hexa, Truthear Nova have inversed polarity for both of channels. Inversed polarity for both of channels almost identical to the straight polarity. You most likely won't tell the difference with the only exception for cymbals being slightly less noticeable with the inversed polarity. The difference is in subbass mostly due to the strongest impulse being oscillated in the opposite direction towards the eardrum which cannot be heard.
>>101047733should have gone with EA500LM. It kicks hexas ass hard.

>>101048078>correctNo such thing.
>>101048136you can do it, anon-kun.https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_abspolarity.phpgambare
>>101048144Yes such thing. Songs that are released out of the mastering studio with reverse polarity means that the mastering engineers thought that the reverse polarity version sounded fine and didn't have nasty distortions.Songs that are released in correct polarity don't have that guarantee however, and a lot of them can be absolutely destroyed in reverse polarity, resulting in weak and flabby warbled bass.It's objectively lo-fi.
>>101048144Wrong.
>>101048159I failed! I don't really know what to look for. And even if I knew I doubt I'd be able to hear it. I am sad now.

>>10105046715 bux is KZ range. MSRP will be around 20 bux, bit lower than zero 2s.
>>1010501997hz iems look like children's toys
>>101047848Don't think you can reasonably catch the difference in the cymbals. It can be AB'd in a blind test with bass, where the initial attack transient spike is lost due to inversion. But we're talking about 200Hz or less, that is 5ms more being lost before the signal gets symmetrical and undoubtedly can be noticed. In cymbals, it is a single spike transient around 6000 kHz and more, that is 1/6000 of a second loss due to inversion which definitely goes beyond the capabilities of human perception.
>>101050618Based. Anime iems for anime people
>>101050568yes but….>not a semi custom shell>no detachable cable If it’s $20 it’s DOA. Even tangzu chang le was $15. Tin elf was $15 MSRP too and that has detachable cable.quarks and linglong are $12.
>>101050467It'll cost the same as qkz ak6, so 4-5 dollars
>>101049999>>101050199
Incredible things are happening
>>101051052>bulletdead on arrival
>>101047928You don't even quite get what I'm trying to convey. The inverted polarity test from screenshot you're refering to demonstrates the state of sound when only one channel is inverted.>But it can be heard! I can hear them.I was talking not about the ability to hear the inverted polarity for one or both of channels, but about ear anatomy that the human ear can perceive only positive impulses towards eardrum, not negative. Eventually the inverted polarity for both of channels affects only about 20-200 Hz. Human can't hear any phase difference for both of channels above those frequencies, only if it is inverted for one channel.>>101048109Correct doesn't mean it isn't inverted for both of channels. I also have Hexa and Nova and all of them have inverted polarity for both of channels.
>>101048349this nigga is actually using the brown turd shartur who owns 0 iems to try making his argument plausible lol
>>101051064You fags realize you can still wear bullets over the ear right?
>>101050932Their production costs will not be anywhere close to their selling cost. If they actually have a decent tuned IEM they can get away with charging over $10 up to $15 as part of the “disposable” category. Anything past that and niggas just gonna get gate or wanker studios like why tf wouldn’t they?
>>101051292how to tell if a pos hab inverted nipples?
Alright, I'm moving on from headphone (shit broken), I narrowed down from the OP's list, Gate or Chu II? They had the same price, does this matter at all for IEM?
I don't know what happened but Ali decided to allow me to put it in my cart out of nowhereI know TWS have a terribly bad rep in these threadsBut picrel should be safer than most IEMs at this price range, right?It seems to be pretty much the Hola equivalent of TWS with how hard Scarbir praises it
>>101051450Og zeros still go for 10 bux so it'll be cheaper.
>>101051479avoid these pos and get the wankers for 20$
Hello anons, I have a pair of moondrop starfields that are in need of new tips. Does anyone have any recommendations? I prefer just simple silicone tips over foam.
>>101051479go with gate, it's the safest cheap os right nowchu ii has a design issue that allows the iems to go silent with just a little of humidity, if you live in a high humidity country you're going to have a very inconvenient time with italso don't listen to this >>101051501, poozu wankers are kz tier garbage and too overrated, tuning is overrated, shell is subhuman quality plastic
>>101051530unlike gate wankers will have correctly matched polarity so ionknow whatchu talkin bout
>>101051559>polarity schizophreniaoh it's this fucking guy again
>>101051479Gate, Wan Er, CCA Polaris, TRN Orca, 7hz Zero 2, Original 7hz Zero are all good choices. Avoid the Chu II, they're trash. Everything else I listed is good though, so choose what you think looks best or is the cheapest to you. There are a lot of discounts on AliExpress right now.
>>101051530>>101051577Thanks
>>101051490I seriously seriously doubt it. Og Zeros are so cheap because they’re not new. Chifi is a constantly rolling machine they need to offload their old stock if it’s just gathering dust.New shit MSRP will always be higherfor instance:d-fi MSRP was around $30. Now you can get a set for literally 1/3rd the price at $10
How can they even afford to sell such a fancy big box with a handkerchief and glossy print for just 7€.
>>101051457The simplest way is to get impulse response using REW and microphone. The strongest impulse oscillates downwards.
Wanker Bros... Time to open our wallets
>>101051052MUSE DASH WOW
>>101051864I want to open her wallet iykwim
Henlo frens are there any awesome cablel codes like on the previous sale? thanks!
>>101051764They are still making money. You are just being extra milked everywhere else.
>>101051764this entire thing cost them about $1.2 to produce, they still make profits @9
>>101038564Based Sharur enjoyer.
>>101051774First, you must measure something known to have the correct polarity (usually a 1DD). You never know if either the budget ADC or the mic is inverted too.
Any info on final price and release date of Letsshower S08?
>>101051764enjoy your endgame
Daily reminder that techs are stored in the Amp
>>101052074$89.99
>>101052124Nice, so midrange planars are now sub $100 territory.
>>101052118This but unironically. Amp implementation makes or breaks the chain.
>>101052074wait this iem's graph looks sick
>>101052262Harmanfags will have a stroke. As bassbleed and velvety vocal enjoyer I'm curious. They will probably time it after sales are over.
>>101052262i can just autoeq to that
>>101051052Finally a good collab

Holy collabs money, our boi is eating a lot!!
>>101038535What do you think about moondrop chu ii?
>>101052262It doesn't because UM stuff got actually functional BC which does not get captured on rigs

So where have your pos reached? Mine is about to be ship/or already has been. Probably take a week or so till it gets here
>>101052467monarch mk3
>>101051479Don't get the wankers. The cable is shit. It irritates your ears. The iem itself is good, thoughever.
>>101051764My exact thoughts. That box is too good.
>>101052908you know the cable comes out?
what should i autoeq my wankers to?
>>101052959Yes. But if that's the only cable you have, you gonna have a bad time. It's made of the cheapest chinesium I have felt.
>>101052976JM-1 with flat bass and then spend the rest of ur life tweaking the tilt and bass
>>101053083jm-1 is dogshit
our god crinacle has spoken about fatfreq so now i will redeem the scarlet mini
>>101053278Bruh
>>101053278you shouldnt take advice from fat people unless you're asking for the best fast food joint in the neighborhood
are the fael rose mary flat head earbuds an upgrade from the Yincrow X6?
>nova pos is supposed to arrive by Monday>it is still in ChinaI am getting chink'd, ain't I?
>zeos says 4u has too much bass on max setting>super* says 4u has an ok amountwho do i believe???
>>101053235cool it sharty
>>101053576Zeos has no hearing. Disregard everything he says. MRS has decent but very old hearing. When he say ok bass then it means not enough bass.
>>101053576MRS, litcherally the only decent IEM reviewer, even if he is a shameless Tranny shill.
>>101053576Zeos listens to weeb music with actual bassMRS only listens to mellow indie that is just a female vocal + acoustic guitar + a slow ass drummer I'd trust Zeos... MRS is just the nice guy of reviews
Is Linsoul safe to buy from? Has anyone had any problem with them before?
>>101053576zeos is only for the entertainment factor newfaggot
>>101052011No need. Just open audacity and make a "pop" sound with your mouth into the measurement mic. If the peak goes up then the polarity is correct.
>>101053768they take forever but they delivered fine to me.
Mrs. is not a good reviewer, he's more of a judge of what IEMs are objectively the best, which for him equals just subjectively liking them, full stop, there's nothing more to that, even if he has his own target which is actually decent, but what's the point if he's wildly inconsistent of whether a pos should adhere to it or not to be one of his favo... I mean, one of the best pos ever, periodeven shills/fucktards like Jizzaudio, Jays Audio and NGGAR are much more helpful than him simply because they don't expect you to be literally them to imagine how much would you like IEMs they reviewI still prefer Mrs. over Shartur but it's not much of a praise
>>101053909every "review" is only for entertainment and this whole website is satire
>>101054240Jays Audio has a massive crinacle hateboner and he didn’t hear the big peak on Nuo sooooo filteredSame with HBB who said Nuo was great and said the c0 elf sucked because it was “like an Aria but with less bass”he’s correct about the bass but the treble on Nuo imo is much more offensive than on the tin elf.before cringeacle became a collaborator…he was a decent reviewer.I will for the end of time hold Hexa over his head though, that shit measured PERFECTLY to his target and he gives it a weak ass B+? GTFO
>>101054287>my favorite reviewer A has different ear canal than my hated reviewer B so reviewer B must be wrong
>>101054306thiseverything regarding pos is so subjective there's no point of accusing reviewers of spewing bullshit if they don't like a certain pos, their reviewer's integrity which includes multiple points of view based on knowledge and experience should be fully appreciated, and finally every reviewer for which good = favorite is simply a retard not fit for the job
Explains recent popup of reviews and impressions kek
iems like the Blon Z300 but without the shitty QDC gay ass connector? (preferably recessed 2pin)
>>101054306>>101054371I mean fair enough I guess. their preferences also seem dissimilarAs for Jays Audio he said the zero:2 was preobsoleted by QKZ X HBB…wtfHBB has way more bloat, although yes zero 2 has some bloat too
>>101054708What if I like bloat more than clarity?
>week 4 with flatheadsI have trouble going back and I'm not even joking
I thought my Gato's would arrive today, but it's actually the Wednesday in two fucking weeks.
>>101054740are you a fuckin' nggar?
>>101054829I only had his blue Hook and it was okayish. If I listen to female vocals it's usually boarderline sibilant and straight-out sibilant jap ones and bright tunings are a no go zone for me. I would rather sacrifice thar mythical 'air' for skipping annoying peaks.
>>101054813You fried your hair cells. Tragic.
Should you buy Chu 2?If you live in Berlin, yes.If you live in Lexington, fuck no.
>>101055081No either way because there are better IEMs for the price.
>>101054708I like some midbass but yeah, QKZ (my unit especially) is just lacking in detail.
>>101054813like i said before, earbuds does not exclude iems, they are complimentary. sometimes you want noise isolation, sometimes you don't want to have your ears plugged and so on. but headpos is still headpos.
>>101049087>do the tanchjim 4u have any asano art in the package?Not that I've seen.>>101049291>curious to try out other stuffMyer CKLVX D41 / Pula PA02, Simgot SuperMix 4, Shozy P20, Artti R1>>101051482>TWS with how hard Scarbir praises itHe's an affiliate marketing shill. Your takeaway from reviews should be about UX / connectivity / build issues, battery life, etc. For the price it's probably fine for casual listening, but nothing great. picrel>>101051513>in need of new tips7Hz H-07 / KBEAR 07 or Audiosense S400 from Aliexpress>>101053576While anon summarized their genres on point >>101053751 I would not listen to Zeos at all lol.>>101053768>Has anyone had any problem with them before?No problems. Lame stuff has happened in my history ordering like canceled orders because out of stock or them recently backtracking on a big sales price calling it a "mistake." Refunds come through clean and quick. Legit business, but not flawless or stellar. Some orders may be slow to ship if they label it "pre-order.">>101054655>iems like the Blon Z300Kefine Delci
>>101053576Only believe graphs nigga. It's well known reviewers hear about as good as random students, and that's on the simplest task "do A and B sound the same". Even then, don't trust the graphs completely. They can tell when something is bad, but not when something is good.
Nice to see that even the cheap IEMs get a more neutral tuning, with the Gato and Wankers Studio. Harman lost, good riddance.
>>101055440>Wankers Studiodid they release the graph?
>>101055470I haven't seen one, but they said it will have less bass. At least it's going in the right direction.
>>101055483KZ said their pos sound like $1000, you also believed them?
>>101055500I believe the SE will have less bass than the regular wankers. I cannot say anything about pos sound like $1000, because this sentence does not make any sense, even if there would be any correlation between sound and price.
new bread >>101055538
>>101055483>>101055440Stop smoking. Gato is harman with more midbass. And if wanker studio has less bass than wanker it will be closer to harman than wanker.
>>101038535Are there any PMPs that have adjustable storage with microSD cards that go up to at least 512GB or 1TB? Also with Opus support, an audio jack, and Bluetooth. My portable music folder's around 85GB large and that takes up a lot of space on my 128GB phone, so I'd like to get at least four times more space.
