What Android music apps do you use?Wanted to use the default Sony music app but it's severely lacking in features.Tried to use black player, but that hasnt been updated and is bugged for me.Currently using Musicolet and it's pretty good.

>>102119711>field recordings of storms, oceansthere are a lot of choices here https://mynoise.net/
>>102118454They're recommended by the same person writing the Rentry which the OP just mirrors its HoF section.
>>102118515You faggots need a reality check if you're comparing headphones to earbuds. Next thing I know you'll be claiming iems are better than speakers.
>>102120896iems are way better than speakers, speakers suck ass and are even worse than dentpos
>>102114161Is there anyway to fix channel imbalance in IEMs?
>>102120896Earbuds are just little speakers in your ears you dumb faggot And yes vidos mog most speakers to beat vidos with secured thick foam and eq you would need to spend 4 digits minimum on speakers
>>102121645If you have a rig then you can fix it quite accurately. Otherwise most operating systems have a channel balance slider, you can adjust it by ear.
>>102121691That's if the IEMs came imbalanced. If they used to be balanced then you just replace the nozzle filters.
What do you guys suggest for USB-C to 3.5mm dongles? I read one of the links in OP and it suggests the apple adapter but regardless of which version you get it's not going to provide enough power.

I feel like I can hear the difference between .flacs on my phone and spotify high quality (free, 160kbps).

>>102116240Just got mine this week. Have been loving it so far. Have you noticed any stuttering playback with Poweramp? Wondering if there's something wrong with my unit (bought used) or something in the OS that I need to disable.
>>102124733Deafzo...
>>102124176Bro... do you live in like Venezuela or what?Anyways, I'd still get the EDC Pro because those multi-driver type of hybrid iems shit themselves more often than single DDs, not to mention them being KZ hybrids, so it comes into question if all of those BAs are actually being used. It's easier to trust KZ with single DDs.
Easy fix just don't fucking buy KZ sloppa, there are plenty of recs in the OP and all are better than any KZ.
>>102125851based. no matter how many reviewers say stuff like KZ AS24 Pro or CCA Hydro are great I just can't trust that fucking company
>>102125897Anybody who says AS24 is great has brain damage, it's so fucking bad its unreal.
>>102125825>>102125897Ratzo...
>>102125619>stuttering playback with Poweramponce or twice, not to a point that made me do something about it yet. How frequent those stutterings happens for you? Did you tried to update poweramp, restart the device, change poweramp audio settings?
>>102126027Not frequent enough that I'm too bothered by it. Quick restart seems to clear it up for a while. Starting to think that it's got something to do with visualizers since I'll sometimes let them shuffle in full screen. Oddly enough though when I disable the visualizer it continues to stutter until I restart the device. What audio settings would you change? I've looked through them but didn't see anything that stood out that could be causing it.
>>102116240>Soda StereoBoludo?
>>102126076if you turn off the visualizers and restart the device, does it start to stutter eventually? If not, than that might be it. I don't use visualizers. I would change something on resampler or output settings, but honestly idk, if it were something that would bother me a lot I would probably try to change everything until I got it or got tired. I think is very hard to pinpoint what the problem is in these cases. I have a lot of listening sessions that I don't notice any stuttering, so I'm ok until now
>>102125933Wrong 'Zo
>>102126178Haven't noticed it stuttering until I enable a visualizer but I'll have to test to really know for sure. I'll start there and fuck with the audio settings if needed. Thanks anon. What headphones are you using btw?
>>102125825Brazil.1USD = 5.56BRLYes, it sucks.Theres two cables available,silver makes any difference?
>>102126378Dogfuckerzo...
>>102126685>silver makes any difference?It makes the sound a little brighter. Copper is safer and a bit bassier.
>>102114161thumbnail looks like a trannyjak.
Not the same anon from earlier, but also a shit worlder whose bank blocked aliexpress. The only chi-fi I can find here are shitty very low end KZ for about 4x the price, (zs10 pro X for around $100 instead of $25)Question is, which one do you anon recommend?I was originally going to get the Kefine Delci AE since I preffer a bassy neutral sound and I'm a tad sensitive to treble if the driver is not a really good one.The closest non Kz stuff I could find here are the Kiwi Ears Cadenza for about $170 I'm really attracted to the Cadenza, but considering I need to spend at least another $80 on a semidecent dac (Tempotec Sonata HD pro or HD 3), I would like Anon's opinions.
>>102126564no problem, its nice to see someone with a m300 and poweramp. I'm using truthear zero red
>>102126980>I would like Anon's opinions.sucks you have to deal with the worst pos. spending a little more gets you far better stuff than kz or those older tempotec dacs. look at op shopping rentry. there are a lot of websites to order chifi from besides aliexpress.
>>102126980I've heard very good things about the delci/delci ae.
>>102126857I have not and will never ever ever ever fuck a dog, promise.
>i saw the thumbnail and immediately think "'ACK 'ACK 'ACK 'ACK 'ACK 'ACK!"God help me.
>>102126976>>102127524i dont see it
>>102127532you are not ready yet, my apprentice.
>>102127023>M300 and PowerAmpSame. I've been using PowerAmp for many many years. Been a rock solid music player app all that time. Have not heard of the truthear zero red. How do you like them?Just got a pair of Kefine Delci's after seeing them in the OP. So far I'd consider them an upgrade over the Shure se215s I was using from back before I got into desktop audio.IEM market has changed A LOT since then and it's been fun to see all the new options.

nothing beats a quality single DD chugging away
>>102128025so why aren't they at the top of the reviewer ranking lists?? hybrids and full-ba are the real deal but you can't afford them, confess
So what's the final consensus on Tanchjim 4U? How does it stack up? Is fit and sound good?
>>102128057nightjar singularity.
>ranking listsRetardzo...
>>102128083it's a quality affordable 1dd. low THD, solid FR. tuning dial is a gimmick. prob doesn't fit as well as delci but it's fine. pray to the gods you get asano tanch stickers.
>>102128111i said top not middle
>>102128083It's a big IEM.
>>102128083it's not 4U
is the artti t10 a good pickup if I want to try out planar iems?I know I like planar headphones already
>>102128130>>102128362>>102128393So nothing special from what I gather. Seems like fit is also not particularly good.
>>102128398yes
>>102128398ask yourself why you want to pickup a planar iem
planar iems still aren't ready yet
>>102128513The fit is above average despite how it looks, it's pretty small so it shouldn't give too many people trouble. But yeah it doesn't really have much to set it apart from the Delcis and EA500lms of the world.
So what's the point of flatheads in this day and age? Do they do anything better than IEM's or are they pure nostalgia bait?
>>102128775u can hear outside environment more at the expense of extension on both ends of sound spectrum. some people have weak earussies that can't handle insertion
>>102128775Mainly for convenience (no isolation, very easy to put on and take off) and comfort. They are far from ideal for optimal sound quality, but they can be surprisingly good. Depending on how you use them and position your perspective, they either contain the negatives or positives of headphones and IEMs.I personally use them a decent amount for music that is less "demanding", so stuff like classical or ambient music is perfect, especially if you're using these for background music/noise.
>>102128083don't...
>>102120649Your loss of rupees. Go away.
>>102128775Flatheads are basically an equivalent of open back headpos. They generally have wider soundstage and arguably better comfort (esp for longer sessions) than most iems but this comes at a price of non-existent isolation and generally wonkier fit-dependent FR. Also as mentioned above they are bad at sub-bass (no exceptions here) but treble extension can be quite nice and smooth.
>>102129136I love my Gates.
>>102127596>rock solid music player app all that time. thats how I see it too. A well polished player.>truthear zero redI like that it doesnt have mids and treble too forward.>Kefine Delci'sI was interested in that iem, because aperenttly it has a similar sound signature as the zero red and also can be more confortable and more discrete when in ear

There was a retarded guy whose life’s mission seemed to be posting teardown pictures of IEMs, and he created a huge drama because the DD in this IEM was similar to the one in the wanker. Besides the quality of the shell, tuning, and damping were different, and people were actually enjoying the sound. But after his drama posts, everyone started saying, "Oh no, a wanker driver for $50? Are you kidding me!? Scam!". Tangzu is passive af and couldn't explain properly in English and made the situation worse by saying that was a batch mistake instead of saying the whole acoustic chain was more important but too late for the Southeast Asia Chink Cancel Gang. Pity.
New Tangzu omggg
>>102138577>piezomemepos on arrival?
>>102138722It's a BCD Piezo, I believe it's meant to vibrate the shell like a mest rather than make the treble worse.
>>102138778this gonna cost like 300 then
N8 finally arrived. Customs are indeed quite comfortable, the fit seems good, they don't fall out or misallign and I hear practically no outside noise with the sound on.This is going to be my setup for many years.
>>102139013Would be weird if customs didnt fit. Congrats anon, hope you enjoy the musc.
>>102129691IntraRectal Masturbators General
>>102139138I've heard horror stories about ciems not fitting and going back and forth several times between the manufacturer and the customer.
>>102139138>>102139428Fit security and seal are almost always perfect but the long term comfort depends on the weight. They can shave off the shell a little but there's not much you can do to make plastic comfortable. Another issue is ear molds are usually done with your mouth open, makes sense for musicians but not for music listeners. If you don't need the isolation of customs regular IEMs can be way more comfortable.
>>102136858nah not worth sending back. just try your best for some kind of partial refund or replacement
>>102138562Stop lying.
>>102138562>>102139939If the tuning was better it wouldn’t have been as much of a shitshow but it was basically a wanker with even more shout.
>>102139939>the diaphragm is 90% the sameuh oh someone doesn't know the meaning of 'same' or percentage. The premium build and 10% difference warrant the price difference. And they don't even measure the same because different shell and nozzle means different insertion depth and coupling.
>Premium buildPffft lol
>>102137226Pretty close actually...We have penguins and stuff
Good morning autists. Leave whatever you're doing rn and tell me what iems/headphones and amp/dac to buy for casual listening at home 1-2 hours. Budget is $200 freedombucks. I was thinking Sony MDR-7506 + Moondrop Dawn pro + TRN ConchPS. I'm a Chad so I need a flat sound.
>>102140304VidoAny jcally less than $15
>>102140304You're a retard and you don't know what "flat sound" is.Skip the headphones unless you really like the form factor. Skip the Moondrop Dawn Pro, you have no use case for it at all. Invest most of the money into the IEMs, although most <$20 IEMs are all you really need unless you value build quality. Conch are a decent option, but Delci is probably a better option in terms of comfort. Use the EQ guide in the OP. EQ is the single most useful and impactful tool you have. Read the guide all the way through if you're not a retard and can read.
>>102140304Fox IEM, endgame.
Trying to figure out what to get, my primary focus is YouTube editing, gaming, and watching movies on my desktop.Hyper 4THIEAUDIO Monarch MKIIIKiwi Ears Orchestra LiteSennheiser HD 800SDt 990 proI'm feeling like I'm just looking at the high budget ones and not really realizing how much more I can get for a lot cheaper. Any thoughts on these and and maybe some stuff that's a lot cheaper that works for my use case. I like a lot of bass.
>>102140597See >>102140382
>>102139013My fellow 64chud
>>102140597>I like a lot of bassOrchestra Lite is definitely out. The others are fine, better with EQ. Fatfreq and their IEMs like Scarlet Mini are at the forefront of huge bass, even too much for some people. >maybe some stuff that's a lot cheaper that works for my use caseGenerally yes. Diminishing returns for IEMs hits pretty hard. Picking a decent overall IEM (sub-$150), a few extra pairs of ear tips, and achieving secure comfortable seal gets you 80th percentile audio already. EQ, good source (clean low-noise DAC AMP), and the resolution of media you play scales the experience up. For budget picks, Kefine Delci is a good bassy balanced sound.
>>102140304your budget is too small for any good headphones, let alone the rest all together. apple dongle + truthear hexa. report back if you really like "flat" sound (bet you don't)
This is all I need for a DAC, right?
>>102141054u gotta enable dat 7.1 surround sound to hear the opps footsteps in fortnite g
>>102140388Foxchad, can you help with images of OG elora from spyro, kurisu from s:g and chidori from full metal panic?I just can't get them to look right even after 1 gorillion hours in gimp
>>102141414You send a rough sketch to epz and they do everything else themselves.
>>102139013Whenever I see those snoy daps your opinion on audio is immediately garbage. You bought something with a highly colored output, no way to fix it "le mrwalkman save me doesnt count, its just a different kind of colored", and no parametric eq.If you want a gimped android phone you could have gotten an ibassoIf you wanted a real pmp you could have gotten an f20/eros and installed rockbox. Instead you decided to be a snoy. Many such cases. Sad!

>>102141669You forgot midwit wannabe statisticians from headphonesdotcom and one fatso who claim that there is some objective target and pos should follow it to be good (usually ones that aim for it are incidentally sold by them), they even made quite big pseudoscience cult around it.
>my retard is better than your retard
>>102131003Shanling M0s
>>102142600or if you prefer, one of them is worse
can we all agree that all of them are retarded in one way or another?
>>102142640yesthis includes us too
>>102142652my retardation >>> your retardation
>>102142417Probably, everything they make I can wear for 8 hours without discomfort and they use metal shells. Unfortunately their tuning of everything except the U18s isn't to my preference but its nothing a bit of EQ can't fix.
>>102116422>Want to get into IEMsDon't. These threads are consumerism masquerading as a hobby.Buy a set of IEMs for £50 max and only come back here to laugh at the shitflinging by third worlders. These threads are 99% South East Asians or Indians who buy IEMs because they can't afford headphones.
We have a new king
$999 EQ + $1 pos
>>102140304EPZ Q1 Pro + Qudelix 5k. Simgot EA500LM if rich.
>>102142760
>>102142760Upper mids and treble is actually bretty decent. Some weird bass rolloff although it’s super subbass so not really going to make a huge difference
>>102116422>Want to get into IEMsNo you don't, getting into audio equipment as a hobby will make you enjoy music less because you'll constantly start chasing highs and get to the point where you use music to listen to your equipment rather than the other way around, ignorance is pure bliss.
>>102142746dentcans are obsolete
Where to buy this EQ thing you guys talk about?
I wanna give flatheads a try, should I go for the FAAEAL Iris or the Nicehck ydx for only like $3 more?
>>102142854Wait a bit for cute pink edition
>>102142691you must have a lot of USD then, because it's the unit for measuring retardation
>>102142854For me Iris is early endgame if you don't want to spend more on buds. The next big step up is vents and dyi stuff.
>>102142983that is where the techs are stored
I need wireless recommendations for the gym. I lift run and bike.
just remember and play the song in your head

>>102143473good point...
>>102143414Roseselsa Ceramics X maybe
>>102143414I use Soundpeats Free2 Classics for that, they're pretty decent
Anyone use a USB c splitter? Recommendations for charging and using headphones at once?
>>102144821Looking specifically for c and c ends*
First impressions of the moondrop block... It's bad. Would not recommend.The mic is bad, not useable for calls, sound is muffled, and the fit is nonexistent, feels like they will fall out any moment. Surprised by how much better the space travels are at almost the same price. I think a big miss from moondrop

Why are tws all bluetooth? Why aren't there any dongle based wireless buds?
>>102145320because that's the antithesis of a small form factor and very power inefficient
>>102145320There's jbl quantum tws and a couple of others, they're marketed for gamers
>>102145530Shame considering most the issues of tws comes from the fact that bluetooth is shit
>>102145551China will save us with NearLink.
>>102142612Very neat, thanks anon
>>102143414if you dont want it to fall out, stuff with attached earhooks like beats powerbeats pro. could also try open ear or bone conduction. open ear is cheaper, neither have great sound quality but they allow you to hear surroundings
>>102140597Hype4/MKIII would be your best bet from what you listed. I reckon you will be more than satisfied with the Hype4, only go expensive if it’s within your budget. You can also get really good sets for around the $150 mark.
Well, looks like I found my endgame tips. The sancai's fit really well, dont make my ears irritable, seal well and avoid overpressure on bass heavy songs (my iems have a vent but somehow I feel like this helps).
>>102145024There are only 2 tws currenttly from moondrop worth using.>Space travels>Golden agesEverything in between is a space travel reskinAnd golden ages arent even good value for your money.
>>102147099guinea pigs were injected in a lab for you to enjoy those ear tips
>>102147249thank you ratzo for your participation
>>102147249May those pigs rest in animal heaven. I currently have my endgame for pretty much everything:>Good cable>Enjoy the iems>Found the correct eq>Use phone with sd card as dap>Comfortable tipsOnly missing a portable dac but desu I feel like it would not add much to my listening experience overall.
