Been meaning to buy a pair of IEMs but I have tinnitus, and I sometimes (about once or twice a month) have pain in my ears. Should I go along and buy it or are there any health risks that come with IEMs that I should stay away from it? Maybe aside from the obvious "don't put it on too loud and too long" of course.

Tanchjim Prism thoughts?
>>102270346Dt990 destroyed his hearing, please understand.
Why is headpos the most expensive medium by far to get a decent quality? Are they just at the worst point between counteracting HRTF and size in regards to price/performance?
>>102271036The most expensive is speakers since you need to set up an anechoic chamber otherwise they sound horrible.
>>102271036With speakers the room is large so all variation in bass and easily measurable. With IEMs the "room" is tiny so all variation is in the upper/mod treble. Headphones are just the right size to have variation in the most sensitive range of human hearing.
>>102271163Wrong, speakers sound terrible in an anechoic chamber. The reflections are necessary.
Is the Ziigaat Doscinco a direct upgrade of the Zero Red? Searching for something with a similar laid back tuning up to around 300$
>>102271187Reflections smear the sound. You need an anechoic chamber and EQ the speaker to have a downwards slope. Maybe you are deaf from all the reflections.
>>102271163Surely you could get most of the way on $1k for some panels and bass traps in a smallish room?Or buy some foam sheets yourself and DIY the whole thing.
>>102271174Ah thanks anon.
>>102271206You literally hear less without reflections because of total cancellations. With reflections the content at those frequncies will arrive to your ears eventually.
>>102271241No it needs to be truly anechoic. The cheap option would be to drive to a flat field and listen to your speakers outside but this only works on windless days. Speakers in a room sound worse than dentpos, speakers in a anechoic chamber sound as good as $20 pos, and speakers in an open field sound godly but thats highly dependendent on weather.
>>102271241Don't listen to that retard. Read sound reproduction by floyd toole. Most living rooms need no treatment whatsoever. You need treatment when you have a highly symmetrical space and empty walls.
>>102268914Wait for mine to arrive to see if it's really all that
>>102271304Book of cope. Go outside and stop coping.
>>102271315Speakers outside are the definition of low fidelity.
>>102271329Just go outside on a windless day and try it. You will understand true fidelity.
>>102271344You forgot about ground reflections. Jump off a building to experience true sound fidelity.
>>102271199above $100 there's no upgrades, there's just sidegrades to stuff that's different, but "different" doesn't mean "better".
HiFi Walker H2 or Surfans F20?
>>102268890it's completely opposite for me, OG Salnotes Zero sounds okayish but Chu 2 turned out to be much more enjoyable, although in terms of fit, Chu 2 makes me fucking mad and therefore I prefer Zero's shells, if Zero 2 was more airy it might've been literal perfection in $20 price point for me
>crin wants $10 a month for his graphs
>>102271437NTA but anyone with a F20 tried rockbox on it?Does the Bluetooth work? Wiki seems to say no but also seems outdated.
>>102271380Interesting, i was searching for something with a similar tune to the Zero but.. better?
>>102271496What do you wish was better?Do you wish it was a little more analytical or less?
>>102271593I just want to hear the cymbals and hi hats more, the rest is already perfect(to my ears), i think it's because of that huge 10k dip, but i'm a total noob so i'm probably wrong
>>102271668And there's also another huge 16k dip
>>102271668>I just want to hear the cymbals and hi hats moreThat just means you want a set with more treble, but then while you hear the cymbals and hi hats more, you may end up complaining about too much treble anywhere else.The only way to have treble when you want it and not have it when you don't is to EQ depending on the music you're listening to at the moment.
>>102271749> That just means you want a set with more trebleExactly.Sorry, i had expressed myself poorly. Treble is the reason i bought the Xenns Top and i'm waiting for the S12 pro to arrive, but something still gravitates me towards the Zero.
>>102271356You can worry about those after you try going outside. Advanced techniques like elevated listening setups are too much for you when you still have no idea what a good speaker undiluted by a shitty room sounds like in the first place.
S12 Pro has something magical in its sound. It's light and airy, but at the same time it's meaty and packs quite a punch.
>>102271449only if you wanna put 3+ graphs at once, which is retarded but he's prolly making some money this way. squiglink only MRS profits with hifigo ads and idiots keep posting there, thankfully hbb, jay'saudio, listener, etc moved to github.

So what is the QCY T5 of this generation? I need another nice cheap earbud with stellar quality, those were really good for the price. Also they were tough, never broke no matter how much they dropped or how many washing machine trips they took. Was looking at the moondrop space travel but they seem fragile.
>>102273768KZ Carol
>>102271749>The only way to have treble when you want it and not have it when you don't is to EQ depending on the music you're listening to at the moment.That or just have different sets of pos for different music genres. There's no "endgame iem" that's good for everything out of the box.
>>102273803they're too new to tell for sure, but aside from being KZ, they seem to deliver at least as much as Space Travels do for the price. I'm mostly curious how their ANC performance compares.
>>102274221various targets with various energy levels through the FR can excel in their own genres of music, but there is the target that's very good in all genres and it's Meta target
fuck it im getting the letshower 2024, dont care if I'm overpaying $100 for the same s12 driver
>>102274870>$200 for a gayer version of the s12
>>102274719>Meta targetholy retard, 'meta' is not a target; it’s a DF HRTF with a weighted treble based on the ISO population average. The "target" is just applying a downward flat tilt or personal adjustments using harman filters, which this methodology would give you rather similar results with any other DF as a baseline to begin with. The treble information is practically useless on an individual level since HRTF treble variations are so wild so no target is a one size fits all and you're back to square one

>>102268890>clogging I don't understand this, I have been using the Chu II for almost 6 months and I don't have this problem. Just clean your IEM every 2 week? Or you could just clean your fucking ears.
Hello wiggers, I need an IEM that has a unique sound. By "unique sound" I mean anything other than "harman-tuned but with a tasteful bass shelf". Something like Tin P1 with its non-existent upper mids, Moondrop SSR which has "diffuse field tuning" (no bass and boosted upper-mids), or ER2SE. Budget $300
>>102274896I know, but my cope is that it may hold some resale value since its a limited run
>>102274984Describe what "harman-tuned" means to you
>>102275017nigga these are chinese earphones, they only deprecate in value
>>102274941This issue is not that widespread and varies depending on your type of earwax (wet vs dry), the weather, and how you use the IEMs. Common situations where the filter might get clogged include during exercise, right after a hot shower when your ear canal is "wetter," or in a high-humidity climate
>>102275021
>>102275090Do you consider the "new meta" as being "harman-tuned but with a tasteful bass shelf" as well?
>>102274984Shozy p20 disrespects harman and actually sounds good
>>102274941Did you even read my fucking post? I wrote that I didn't like them even without the clogging. I don't think mine ever got clogged either.
>>102275320Yes >>102275387Thanks man, noted
>>102274906Flatheads have no redeeming features, I don't get why they still exist after IEMs becoming a thing.
>>102274984>non-existent upper mids
>>102275531Nice, and goddamn do they look pretty. Definitely will get one sooner or later
>>102275510this is the dumbest shit i've ever read it today

>>102274941While we're at it, got any tips on cleaning the IEMs nozzles in general? I tried alcohol, but it just fucks with the glue that holds the meshes and at this point I'm not sure if it'll even hold again once it fully dries back.

My sister messaged me out of the blue she wants to buy 1MORE quad driver. She's not very tech savvy at all and I'm more of a headphone guy.Are they any good or what is better for that price? Are they easy to use/drive with normal smartphones or would they need some amp/dac?
Any opinions on Artti R3? Quite cheapo Beryllium driver.

>>102276921Why quad driver specifically?

>>102277018Well I'm literally asking if it's any good to decide whether I want it or not
>>102275510The redeeming feature is that they don't go in my ear which is extremely uncomfortable to me

>>102278217you're not wrong, although it works mainly in professional use casesregarding the XR variant, after it's been concluded that the room curve is the way to go for neutral targets, I'm curious if the XR will ever take over as the primary reference model or the ER4
>>102278460Make sure that he/she/it is wearing Thiefaudio LTD first.
>>102278859>after it's been concluded that the room curve is the way to go for neutral targetsCan you elaborate on this? I'd like to learn more.
>>102278945tonality-wise, the pure diffuse field is mostly correct, but despite sounding very smooth and transparent, something was not right with it and when Harman decided to use the average curated room instead of echoic chamber, it turned out that there's significantly more bass and the sound is a bit darker, so even if the Harman target strayed from neutrality and became the abomination it is, the research on the room curve turned out helpful and since then diffuse field targets started to get a bit tilted clockwise and have boosted bass
>>102278945You need to read on speaker preference research first and then the each Harman target paper, for both headphones and IEMs.I recommend reading the last part on preference targets in the EQ guide, it does a good job at summarizing the research in a way that is simple to understand.
>>102278900> Thiefaudio Is this just a funny name you gave them, or did they got caught stealing shit from other manufacturers?

Good evening /iemg/, got my Nova, its a good day. Been wanting a pair for a while now. It looks absolutely gorgeous with its deep blue shell. Cable is nice as well, but it is quite microphonic. These fit me perfectly after bending the ear hook a bit because it was wound too tight.Turning is very comfortable, zero fatigue, separation is great, fantastic for almost all genres. Playing Pick Up the Pieces by Average White Band, all instruments are given respect, nothing sounds either too thin or bloated, its a joy to listen to.The biggest con is that male vocals take a huge hit, and some genres feel exceptionally thin. For example, they cant handle motown. These totally strip away the vocal power of Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye. I couldn't fix this with tip rolling. In conclusion, beautiful pair with comfortable tuning that's good for most genres except ones focusing on male vocals.

My first chinkshit arrived a few days ago.After testing them, here are my thoughts for anyone considering any of these two. I'm gonna use them mostly on a S22.The Tempotec Sonata HD III is quite decent for its price, in some devices, like my laptop, my Switch or low end phones with headphone jacks, it improves the sound and max volume by a LOT, on my desktop PC it's about the same level. Absolutely not a single sound or hissing when nothing is playing or connected. It's built like a tank, very heavy metal frame.Conclusion: absolutely recommended. The Gatos are, unsurprisingly, what you can expect for 20 freedombucks. They are not bad by any metric, and better than pretty much everything else not chink on this price bracket and maybe a little more. The bass is non existent unless you EQ, then it's kinda there. They are on the brighter side in general, lower treble is good, but when you go higher it shits the bed, also hi-hats sound awful. The mids and vocals are okayish, but very straightforward which I personally like.I can't talk about fit because my ear canal is weird and I never had a single in-ear fit in there snuggly. Build materials are just right for something worth $20.Conclusion: good bang for the buck, even better if you EQ to your taste, but that applies to everything I guess.Thanks for reading my blog, you may unsubscribe now.
>>102279562These nozzles are beastly. I resorted to my dunu tips for fit. But no troubles... yet. >>102279606I was warned by reviewers but I thought they must be exaggerating. They really arent, maybe even understating the hit to male vocals
Should I just buy chinkshit for an usb mp3 player or go through the trouble of ebay to get something by sony?
>>102279317Steal r&d from bigger brands and sell at cheaper price
so is anyone still down for that wiki/blog project we discussed in the last thread? tested out the wiki for a bit, seemed fine but remains to be seen.for now there are 2 options: either someone who is so present here curates and acts as an editor consistently adds stuff to the blog, or we find a method to make it so that anons can contribute.
>>102279635>Conclusion: good bang for the buck, even better if you EQ to your taste, but that applies to everything I guess.If only 3-4x cheaper KZs didn't do the same... oh well, I guess at least Truthear isn't known to change their product during its production cycle Or are they? I honestly don't know. Have they phased out Hola because they stopped making the driver it uses? Or was it just a "fuck you we're not going to sell you any more of this cool thing"? Honestly that wouldn't be much better either.
>>102280051That's just impossible to work, too many opinions, too many shills for different brands, haters of other brands. Even the OP post is just someone's entirely subjective opinion and at best someone else is just copy-pasting the entire thing. There's never gonna be a consensus on anything.
Just ordered the Sony NW-A306, What kind of buds should I get with it?
>>102280051i think maybe letting anons contribute when they can could be a good idea, and then have a regular be able to edit or format when they have timeorganization wise, could have anons submit impressions / opinions categorized by iem, would be cool just as a collection of perspectives and also help newbs decide
>>102280080Can't we have a thread without the kz schizo shitting everywhere?The Hola and the Gate are pretty much the same in terms of sound quality.You are not fooling anyone, and everyone in here knows about KZ, the most scummy chifi company, no need to project their jewish deeds to other companies.You kz niggershill wish kz had something to compete in any segment.$20?

>>102280113if you look at the previous thread, i'm talking about a scribe retard, essentially someone that is recording and noting down worthwhile posts and pics. the goal is not to be a bastion of unbiased information, but rather a sort of database so that anons don't have to go treasure hunting for a measurement or impression or discussion>>102280206sounds like a good plan, although i think that most anons will not even be aware of there being a blog

>>102280298Different times, back then the Hola was market disruptive. Had the sound of much more expensive non chink earphones for a fraction of the price Now you have an oversaturated market of chink iems where the Gate is not thay special anymore. Not bad, but not special.
>>102280080Truthear don't do stealth revisions, otherwise it'd be very convenient for them to make new Holas that aren't discernible for older ones and sound like Gatobesides their focus on precisely hitting the targets doesn't allow them to stray from the targets by quietly revising their pos, there are still unit variations and Truthear is basically Moondrop, but still the targets are generally hit well, of course unless you get pos with a BA or two not wired, but it's not unit variation but a faulty product
>>102280342nigga i ain't NEVER buying a kz ever again*spit*

I don't get why people even bother with any meme drivers in iems. DDs are proven and well-developed, anything else is just a cashgrab in the iem form factor giving little to nothing in return, or even being detrimental.

>1DD>EQSo simple and yet 99% of retards fail to achieve endgame with this straightforward method.
>>102280352Hola was already pre-obsolete by vk4 v1 2 years prior. Too bad qkz decided to revise their only good iem back then.
>>102280696>pajeet is colorblind from lifetime of eating feces contaminated food and so used to seeing malnourished walking skeletons that when he sees a normal hand he sees fatMany such cases!I'm never touching a KZ, seethe, cope, and dilate while swimming in that corpse filled river. Kazeesh
Guys I need an all rounder IEM that handles p much any genre around 500-700. Also what tips would be good for comfort for long term? Want to use IEMs at my desk. I use airpods pro medium sized tips so any tips probably work for me. I've tried a few IEMs like the S12(treble raped me), Blessing 2 Dusk, and heydey but all didn't really grab me or stay at my desk. Also are there any good IEM cables that use 1/4 jack?
>>102280781>swollen hands>typical diabetes type 2 symptom>prolly braindamaged from diabetes Here in INDIA we love gate plz respect my skin saar no racism
>>102280827any pos + eq (eq guide)
>>102280827Thieaudio Hype 4
>kazeesh is not only deaf but also blindAny other physical disability? Besides being brown, of course.
>>102280918the hilarious thing is he called out "bloated hands" for other anon when kayzoid has literal midget + obese + missing chromosome hands. fucking fat sausages
>>102280945im 6'1" and 185, not everyone is born with feminine hands. now post your hand.
>>1022808273.5mm -> 1/4" adapters are very common. basically no iem is going to come with a stock 1/4" cable. see op shopping guide. you dont need to spend that much, especially since you seem to still be a noob uncertain of what you even want (you're throwing money around blindly, you have nobody to blame but yourself for making uneducated consumer choices)
1DD + eq (eq guide) is endgame
>>102280983ahahahahaha look at this fat brown midget
>>102281014that's me >>102280878
>>102281025post mano, maricon
>>102280983HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATHIS SAUSAGE FINGERED WALKING TURD TRIED TO TELL ME I WAS FAT AND NON WHITEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>102281102Sorry bro but that was just a shitty impersonator. I'm a REAL white and unlike your fat hands... I can even see my veins :)
We are post hands now? Ok. Saars Pls redeem Samsung earpoods. I pood in them myself :3

>>102281324>I'm whiter than a paper white person and I'm so fit I can see my thick powerful aryan veins :^^^)so true my lil fat boi
Real schizo hours with an included race war.Is there actually a reason why people keep shilling the KZ edc pro or gate? Is it all meme posting or unironic? I cant tell because its almost comedic at this point.
>>102281489it's the same guy posting both. he's been here for years, always been annoying, deaf, and retarded. he has children yet spends hours of his days shitposting on 4chan and headfi. you can search archives with kz terms like: "cca duo, kz zat, krila, edc pro" and it is literally all his posts. not a single other genuine person cares about these dogshit iems besides him. and he incessantly advertises for a random chinese company that doesn't even pay him.
>>102281489There is only one single (brown) person shilling kzAbsolutely no one is shilling the Gate, at most people giving their impressions on it like the anon from earlier, or making jokes about the name because it looks like gato.
>>102279487I'm jealous mine is still more than w week away.>The biggest con is that male vocals take a huge hitI looked at this before I got them and they're just a small EQ away from fixing it.
>>102281489pretty much all meme posting, though i think the edc fag aka deafzo may be serious, hard to imagine getting so attached to mcdonalds toy level plastic trash but apparently $10 is a lot for some people
>>102281489mostly a blue eyed aryan baiting chinks & spergs for a kick laugh
>>102281701you should be laughing with your family and kids. not on 4chan you retarded fatty
>Sorry bro but that was just a shitty impersonator. I'm a REAL white and unlike your fat hands... I can even see my veins :)>mostly a blue eyed aryan baiting chinks & spergs for a kick laughpfffffffft ahahahahahahahahaha
>>102281489Just bored anons engaging in pseudo-arguments in a mostly ironic manner, which seems unironic due to how viscerally annoying it is.
>>102281736?? Sorry, but the guy living rent-free in your mind is definitely not me!>fatty:mirror:
>>102281764No, it's not. You're genuinely retarded if you can't recognize it's one person. Or you're that very person posting more posts. While you have children to care for and raise.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOOK AT THOSE SAUSAGES
this is now r/greymousetaxi general
Holy retarded, that is not me. So that's why this chink calls everyone 'rat'.
>>102281783Please get your meds as soon as possible, not everyone is retarded shill here.
is he here with us right now?
EQZO SAVE US I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS SHIT ANYMORE
this is a fat finger thread, if you have skinny fingers get the fuck out
>>102281653Yeah EQ will probably help there. I'm warming up to the stock tuning, gonna enjoy it as is for a while then go for EQ. I ended up swapping the cable, the stock one although looks and feels really nice is more microphonic than what I'm used to.
i just finished reading OP and i'm wondering... TRN Conch or EA500LM?
>>102282025terrifying graphs
>>102282025Both bright as fuck no matter the nozzle, get either as they will fuck up your hearing to the same degree
>>102282025Even as an untrained listener that's a yikes. Get anything else if you value your hearing.
>>102282075>>102282145they're fake graphs dummies
>>102282237>doesn't know how to use squiglink and adjust the scaling>can only read squeezed 45db scaling graphswhy are you so dumb
Why are IEMs considered a "hobby"? Buying stuff isn't a hobby.
>>102282025Reminder both of these iems have unscrewable nozzles meaning you can tame the treble with just a small piece of foam stuffed in them.
>>102282315watches, camera, keyboard, camera, pen bros... our response?
>>102282315enjoying music through the characteristics of certain drivers, dac chips, audio formats, cables, eartips, eq, is a hobby.
>want to be based and pirate everything>most pirated flacs on soulseek/rutracker are actually just converted youtube mp3s and have to buy the tracks if i want them to be actual hi-ressuch a conundrum...
>>102282620Feels good being a weeb, this never happens on nyaa.
>>102282620he doesn't know...
>>102282620fake news + skill issue + retard
>>102282620>tidal free trial>run scriptzo to download all the flacs you want to>enjoy?
>>102282620>hi-resretard-kun...
>>102282620just use deemixmake your collection before the j*ws pull the plug for good
>tinhifi duduand they've been in the game for a decent while toowtf is wrong with chang, is the beryllium affecting their mental capacity?
>>102268232I'm thinking of getting the Spinfit W1s but idfk what size to go with. Is there a "sampler" of multiple sizes or do I just have to try my luck with one. I've found the medium on Penon Liqueurs to be the most comfortable (the only tips I have that aren't just bundled with my IEMS). Any help is appreciated.
>>102283359refer to the size dimensions both sets give. pick the closest. unfortunately it seems they switched up their sales strategy and there is no longer a multi-sizes option (it used to come in SML pack)
>>102282327They even sell tuning kit for Simgots
>>102283359I have the medium and the medium small W1s. I find medium the best balance between seal and comfort for most iems. The medium small only works with super small iem shells like Chu 2 that can fit snugly in my ears else they lose seal very easily. For comparison I use the second largest dunu s&s and second largest final E.
>>102283541>>102283783Just ordered the mediums, they're the exact size as the Liqueur mediums looks like so I guess I lucked out lol. Thx for the help!
>>102282315The hobby is making EQs. You buy different IEMs to find the best comfort.
>>102280658They use them BECAUSE they're bad. Same logic as vinyl.
>>102282237>they're fake graphs dummies....or are they?
>>102282475>enjoying musicMajority of people who claim this is a hobby are not enjoying music but looking at squiggly lines and pretending they can tell from them objectively which iem will in theory sound better.
>>102282620Youtube is hires.
What are those fox IEMs? Are they some old 7BA POS?
>>102285036It's epz g10.
>>102282237They're not fake by any means, just exaggerated by zooming in the vertical axis.
S12 pro is peak chink audio, 64 audios u12t is peak western audio, you guys can cope forever
>>102285394Peak tinnitus yeah.
>>102285183You can drag this to change the scaling.
>>102285040Squig is surprisingly decent for a $20 "gaming" pos
>>102285539You think a guy with a measurement rig cares about their stock squig. It's 100% about the fox. The comfort is also pretty good from what I hear.
>>102285563Yes because even if you have a measurement rig you're still limited on treble EQ ability.
>>102281876Fat fingers are good for handling shovel and working the farmland.Skinny fingers are something people with superior genetics and intellect have. They're good for precision work and fingering your mum.
>>102285584Treble must be EQd by ear regardless of whether you have a rig or not.
Especially if you see a smooth squig and believe it'll be smooth in your ear. RIP beyer goblin.
>>102285600Good luck EQing a sharp 10dB peak that's at 12kHz in one ear and 11kHz in the other which isn't particularly uncommon on these cheap pos.
>>102268232>Chu II>wetLol, they're fucked.
Been using iris 2.0 for months now. Still happy.
>>102285688Are you so sure expensive pos will guarantee you flawless channel matching every time?
>>102285951No. There's a minimum price for good QC that's continually coming down but measurements from reviewers that bought it themselves is really the only way to tell.
