From what I experienced with Tin C5, it's quite horrible. Bad FR, bad timbral mismatch between the drivers. I've never liked "+1BA" configurations. BA typically just adds a 6k-10k peak overlapping the other full-range driver. It's plain bad.

Higher end hybrids don't have tuning filters on their nozzle (except the BA dampeners that are hard to reach) when properly tuned (laughing at KZ rn).

got some earphones with ANC

what the hell is the point of this. it's like hearing my laptop fans just whirring in my ear constantly. Why does anyone want this?
>>
>>102425671
Sir... there's good and bad ANC... you know
>>
>>102425819
What's the good kind? Isn't it all just white noise to detract from outside sound?
It won't sound any different will it?
>>
>>102425384
Coarse mesh is pretty much acoustically transparent, it's the fine mesh (400-500, cheap lazy tuning solution) that dampens the treble and gets clogged real fast. KZ puts those on all their recent sets including pure BA IEMs lmao.
>>
>>102425913
the main point is to cut off low frequencies (bass) coming from outside and mask everything else with your music, it's even better if it cuts off higher frequencies to a degree, if the earphones can't do this, emit additional sounds in the process or both, it means that their ANC is useless
for comparison, my Buds FE just cut off low frequencies and also slightly mids from outside and don't change too much how actual music sounds, let alone emit additional noise, that's how it should be done
despite being useful for blocking the outside noise and activities such as riding a bike without worrying about wires, twshit will never be real IEMs and as long as codecs, latency and batteries (among others) remain an issue, they'll always be inferior to IEMs and just a nice addition to them at best

I did some more testing and to be fair, while i'm listening to something the ANC will block out noise more. But it's when ANC is on and I have nothing playing. It's just irrtating white noise, how can anyone stand it?
As for tw vs regular iems, I don't have a pair but aren't Apple's air pods supposed to be pretty good and people say comparable to iems? Or is that just marketing bullshit? Will my cheap $20 chinese shit iems sound better than air pods?

>irrtating white noise
in the FE or your chinkbuds? there's no such thing in the FE unless it's damaged or you have transparency mode enabled and something noisy outside
>airpods
>comparable to IEMs
avoid becoming another victim of relentless apple shilling when it's still time and don't buy that bullshit, they don't have any lossless codec, which makes them worse by default, their latency is nothing like a good 3.5mm wired set either and is noticable, drivers-wise it's as good as the cheapest recs from OP at best which is only slightly alleviated by the built-in EQ, in other words it's like many other twshits, but unlike many of (already nigh-unrepairable) models made by the competition, earpods WILL die along with their batteries and you WILL dispose of them for lack of other options when it happens, because even opening their shells is destructive
Buds FE on the other hand are one of the most repairable twshit sets out there, so have fun, they sound nice too
>Will my cheap $20 chinese shit iems sound better than air pods?
if it's one of the newer models and you use EQ (like airpods do by default), you can get close
remember that everything in the in-ear audio industry is going forward blazing fast, even half a year can make a difference in drivers quality when the new refined metal composite or an improved LCP is being used in place of the less refined driver of the previous generation including a simple pu tupperware lid
>>
>>102427108
>It's just irrtating white noise, how can anyone stand it?
Tbh depends on both the quality of the ANC and how autistic you are. I have the Anhker Soundcore Life Q30, white noise level is manageable and you get used to it fast, specially if you live in a loud area or a third world country like me, doesnt fully block all the noise but it does the job good enough so i dont go crazy for hearing construction sounds and gunshots/fireworks constantly

>>102428223
I don't have the FE yet, I just have the Pixel Buds Pro. When ANC is on, in an attempt to block outside noise, it just plays white noise. It just sounds like a laptop fan
I do have some other cheap tw buds, I swear the cheaper you get the better the wireless range for tw. I don't get it.
>in the in-ear audio industry is going forward blazing fast
Even still? I thought people just bought new iems every year on the basis of how cheap they are and rather than anything sounding better they're just sort of different.

>>102428242
I mean, I guess I get it if you want to block outside noise. When I have something playing and ANC is on, it does a very good job
But when nothing is playing and ANC is on, it's just an annoying fan-like sound

more like they use shitty silicone on the outside and shitty hard foam on the inside so it isn't even conforming to ear canal in the way a foam would, and it's not a quality non-irritant surface making contact with your skin like good tips should be.
also the inner bore being silicone removes any effect of foam suppressing upper frequency resonances (often a sought out benefit).
like i said, worst traits of both types.

So uhhh ummm uhhh I have a pair of Fiio JH3 from years ago, which you guys have told me are ass cheeks. My Samsung S24 isn't strong enough to drive them by the way, and that's with an EU apple dongle (according to the OP there EU one is ass cheeks?). I mean they do get loud enough to enjoy music, but not enough when I'm outside in noisy areas like the gayass subway. Being a yurocuck, audiophonics is good enough for me. I could get this SMSL portable DAC, but I was wondering if this DD M130B meme is any good, being an entire cable with everything integrated. Also, are the guides in the OP updated? Want to also get some wired "mid-fi" IEMs for like 100-200, but audiophonics don't seem to stock any of the recs.
>>
>>102438405
Further reading the OP, audiophony has the Moondrop Dawn Pro, the Tanchjim Space, and the SMSL D10, and all of them have the same specs pretty much. I'm leaning towards the SMSL because I have a D-6S DAC though. For IEMs, from the shopping guide, they only have the TANCHJIM KARA, but I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic, and it says they're "bassy neutral", whatever that means. I do prefer "harman neutral" if that even makes sense. Not a fan of bassy.

Can someone pick me a couple from what these dues have in stock?

They should make an IEM that strictly follows JM-1, but with an adjustable tilt. But instead of labeling it with db/octave, label it with the age of the listener, so that old people get more treble.

Graphs in total? Unlikely. But treble peaks depend on insertion depth/ear canal length/tips so they are definitely shifted, and most of the time the shift is to the left, unless you're underage, Asian or use extremely deep insertion.
>>
https://rentry.org/iemgazette
>>
>>102439909
I especially meant the big 3 kHz peak, not the 8 kHz. Someone told me the ety graphs are wrong because people don't measure them fully inserted, so I was wondering if the peak at around 3 kHz could be shifted on other iem measurements as well.

From what I understand 3k is from the eardrum being the most sensitive to 3k and doesn't depend on the insertion depth. But it is variable between people. Adjust by ear if necessary.
>>
>>102440278
The 3kHz "bump" comes from the ear canal TF and sometimes a very close driver resonance.
It will not shift around, whoever told you that about Etymotics is wrong about the 3kHz peak.

I was thinking that maybe a DAP would have the benefits of a better DAC plus more useful features, but this one specifically seems like it's not as good as the SMSL, unless I'm not understanding the specs properly.

need some help, im trying to mod my koss ksc75 with replaceable cables. i already did the mmcx mod on two pairs and both of them started giving out around the exact same time, after just a years or so.
ive read that the mmcx connector simply isnt very robust and not made for many connection cycles.
i was thinking of doing the mod with 2-pin 0.78mm style connectors instead.
ive already got a pair of linsoul cables and a set of female plugs and test fitted them and they are incredibly tight.
is this normal for this style of connector? i suppose they could loosen up a little after a couple connection cycles but they seemed unreasonably tight to me. maybe i got poor quality parts of ali?

on the go can mean a lot of things
you're looking for something compact in the case of a portable dac/amp. the shanling can be ok, just be aware of the limitations (os, small screen, storage and format compatibility, etc)
so either you get a dap and deal with the limitations, or you get something very small (ddhifi, kiwi ears, jcally, etc) that will not encumber you too much
>>
>>102442199
>limited edition my ass
desu i was curious about this as well. it seems like they already sent out 50+ reviewer units. they'd actually be satisfied with only selling ~1,950 to customers? doubt.jpg
>>
>>102442106
i know my katos have incredibly tight fits with some of my 2-pin cables. might just be a thing that gets better with time. just make sure that the connectors are .78 and not .75
>>
>>102441130
fit comfort depends on all kinds of things. maybe you goofed by picking the wrong model IEMs in the first place. models are designed with vastly differing ergonomics. there is usually some adjustment period for people who are unaccustomed to wearing them. play around with the included ear tip sizes, and adjust/tilt/rotate the shell to find a more comfortable and stable position
>>
>>102438405
>>102441910
different anon. from what they carry in no particular order, i would consider: hidizs mp145, letshuoer cadenza4, letshuoer s12 models (you can mod the original to save money, or go for limited edition), or tanchjim kara.
they are fairly different sounds, s12 and mp145 being the most similar (as they basically use the same drivers), generally v-shaped, thumpy bass and sharper treble. mp145 is a big metal shell, likely the least ideal fitting of the bunch. cadenza4 for clean and articulate. kara for soft and warm.
>>
>>102442106
yeah as mentioned before, there are 0.75mm and 0.78mm 2 pin connectors, maybe you received the wrong ones. I'd say 0.78 are waaaay more popular, but who knows.

That said, it certainly would also feel different if you're trying to unplug it from the cable as just bare sockets compared to when you grab an entire iem to unplug the cable.

Your most sane option is a bluetooth receiver.
Hiby W3ii is just 50$ and just does the job well. Q5K if you're feeling fancy.
Next is getting a small DAP like M0. Another option is a small Android DAP which comes with benefits (you can play and do whatever you want) and negatives (Generally they are a bit sluggish because the hardware is a bit old to handle newer OS versions). What you never ever want to do is to buy a dongle for use on the go. It is a fucking nightmare every time you get a call or want to skip a track you need to get this whole mess out of your pocket and unblock your phone, same goes if you get a call.

Damn is it that bad? They look small enough. For calls do they just not work while plugged in? Do they disable my mic or something? I am a bit annoyed by having to manage a portable DAC and a phone in my pocked at the same time though. That's why I asked about that cable with the integrated DAC and amp in the first place.

They don't work for calls as ADC, meaning you would have to speak through your phone mic. Imagine how stupid would it be taking the whole shit out of your pocket (bonus points if you have wire under the shirt) with dangling dac and trying to bring it to your mouth.
If you plug 3.5mm cable with mic and buttons to a DAC connected to your phone none of it is going to work.

you can watch this https://youtu.be/kZkfiCLEu68 to see what it looks like in practice, although two low-density foams per earpiece can be too much for some including me because of low ear gain, if you're a fan of dark-sounding pos it might be a good mod, otherwise you can consider it a general overview which still applies to modding the S12
as for less aggresive damping you can mod the S12 into the S12 Pro by putting foams into the nozzles like in the video, but instead of two low-density ones per earpiece, you put just one, but mid-density, it seriously tames the stock treble and makes the bass more impactful
there's one anon who said that one mid- and one high-density foam put together makes the S12 sound nice, although I haven't tried it
the S12 has very nice moisture-resistant filters that you obviously have to take off before modding (don't force it, just use a duct tape to gently peel them off), you can slap them back on numerous times and the glue will still hold, when it stops don't throw those filters away, instead put a thin layer of fresh glue on the edges, it'd be a waste to dispose of them

Those dongles are full blown sound cards. The phone doesn't output anything. There are passive dongles that output audio from the phone but they're an exception and they don't work with all phones.
>>102444267
Android doesn't support hardware volume control natively and it starts at half the volume. You can use apps with direct USB access like hiby music to unlock full volume. And EU dongle itself is half the power of the US dongle because EU.

>Budget

Streamed/downloaded music on phone when out and about. Often in noisy public transport, sometimes on a bike. Streamed music in the office (quiet environment). Often use for prolonged periods of time. Won't be using amp or DAC. Would be nice if there's a mic but maybe that's a simple cable replacement?

Idk about freq response. Jazz, death metal, soul, folk, rock, electronic, jungle, classical, vgm, pop, ambient, and everything in between.

Impressions for S12 2024:
>TL:DR
It's an Artti T10 sidegrade, S12 planar timbre wasn’t fixed on the 2024 ed

This is strictly a low/mid-volume set. At higher volumes, S12 2024’s planar timbre is worse than the T10 – cymbals have an unnatural shimmer and wind instruments have a metallic sheen. Also, the S12 2024 is prone to sibilance, so tip-rolling is required. I found DUNU S&S tips to work but foam tips would be better.

>Comparisons with Artti T10
S12 2024 sounds a tad cleaner than the T10 but articulation is sometimes sharpened to the point of harshness. Call it “better techs” if you want, but I’d still choose the T10 because it isn’t as sibilant/painful to listen to. Ultimately both planars sound very similar and any difference is just a nitpicking exercise.

>Comparisons with Mega5-EST
The S12 2024 does sound more detailed than the Mega5est probably since the S12 has a noticeably quicker bass decay which gives it a cleaner midrange and better instrument separation.

New meta IEMs (like the DaVinci, KE4) sound muddy in comparison, but I wouldn’t call the S12 2024 a highly resolving set, since the S12’s excessive "SH" and "S" energy in female vocals can occasionally overpower the treble and cause higher pitch instruments to sound less detailed (masking the shimmer from cymbals and jingle from the tambourine).

>Cons
The set is library/track dependent. Poor fit for jpop/kpop. I want to say instrumentals/classical is fine since I liked Vivaldi on the S12 2024, but it’s a genre with high dynamic range so I’ve had tracks cross into the harshness threshold even on low volume.

>inb4 planars are not meant for listening at high volume
At low volume the S12 2024 is painfully average. But if you crank up the volume to chase “planar techs” you are forced to play a game of tightrope with the volume knob. Why every reviewer praises this golden turd is beyond me.

If one would call that "better techs" then KZ planars would have best techs of all of them, so lets not go that route
>>
>>102445890
If your library is heavy on the female vocals then avoid the S12

>>102445857

>poor for jpop

>S12 has a noticeably quicker bass decay
What? I can imagine the Mega5-EST could have a measurably (but not audibly) slower bass response because its a multi driver with the DD only handling lows but the signal processing theory behind that doesn't really hold up.
>>
>>102451712
>he doesn't know driver techs and speed
planars are quicker across the frequency range. DD has the most "natural" decay, air movement, and reverb particularly for bass
>>
>>102451797
How can a DD with extension anywhere near treble have an audibly "slower" bass decay?
Also what does "natural" decay even mean? It either reproduces the sound correctly or it doesn't. Are you trying to imply planars have a bass decay that's faster than their input?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some wireless earbud recommendations.

>Intended use
I'm looking for earbuds to wear while working out. Sound quality and noise reduction are a secondary concern since I'm not going to be focused on the music. I also workout at home so I would like to be able to hear my mom if she calls me or if someone knocks at the door so a lack of background noise reduction is actually better. My main two concerns are durability, battery life and being water-proof. I would like a pair of earbuds that actually last and won't break down in a year or less. I'll also be sweating so some level of water-resistance would be reassuring (I won't be running outside in the rain, sweat is the only real danger). Bonus: I don't mind those bluetooth but not wireless earbuds, the ones with a cable joining the buds together.

>Budget
My ideal budget is around $60-$120, but please recommend anything even if it's outside that range if you believe it's good. I'm willing to pay for quality.

>Past gear and your thoughts on them
IEM: KBEAR KS1, I'm very happy with them and the sound quality and fit. Anything that resembles them in quality would be great
Headphones: AKG K72, also very happy with them, but don't expect to get anything similar from tiny earbuds.
I've also previously owned two cheap Chinese wireless earbuds from Amazon. My main disappointed was them breaking down in less than a year.

Thanks in advance, any recommendations are appreciated

shokz openmove is right around your budget. they should be pretty decent, but the battery life is only 6 hours if that bothers you.
>>
>>102451957
Apple airpods regular not pros are good within your budget. The best you can get is the newest airpod pros, but mine broke after 2 years. It was the first gen.

Another perspective: spend $200 on one pair that's top of the line like I did and can break in 2 years and apple wants you to pay $200 to "fix" it, or buy 2 cheap space travels that'll last you 2 years at below $50 total. I run in all weather conditions, including rain, and space travels have yet to break in 6 months. It also lives in my gym bag.

how reliable is the bluetooth on the qudelix-5k? and when wired does it sound better than an average desktop's headphone jack?
was considering getting and having it wired to my pc most of the time. and then i'd switch it to bluetooth and carry it around with me when i do things around the house.
>>
>>102452602
no. everything about them (and their various re-releases) are outclassed versus options of similar / lower price
>>
>>102453176
Bluetooth on PC is a disaster regardless of the reciever. Also I'd be vary of using something battery powered mostly wired. For the sound it's better than desktop but there are cheaper and better wired only options. If you can set up ldac on PC(free on linux, paid on windows) it'll be comparable too.
>>
>>102453214
>Bluetooth on PC is a disaster regardless of the reciever.
how about with a phone? not sure under what circumstances i'd do that versus just connecting it with a cable.
but i was mainly just concerned about bluetooth cause i heard the shanling m0s was especially bad at being a receiver so wasn't sure if receivers were unreliable in general. and i mainly just want something portable for like an ipod shuffle experience.
>>
>>102453214
>Also I'd be vary of using something battery powered mostly wired.
You can set it to not use the battery at all (no charge or discharge) when wired.

>>102453176
I use it Bluetooth with my phone and its probably them most reliable Bluetooth device I have. Range is outstanding (~30m unobstructed before it drops out completely IIRC).
>when wired does it sound better than an average desktop's headphone jack?
IME the average desktops headphone jack is noisy shit both from the poor quality DAC and often also because of the EMI inside the case. You could get acceptable performance with a $20 dongle though.

I would only get it if you want the features (available settings, PEQ, Bluetooth range, etc.), there's cheaper Bluetooth dongles that would perform acceptably.
>>
>>102453288
>there's cheaper Bluetooth dongles that would perform acceptably.
I just now saw the HiBy W3 II recommended elsewhere on the thread. Was that what you had in mind? Does that have the option of not charging when wired too?
>>

With a phone it's good. One of the most stable bluetooth connections.

>>102453214
the bluetooth stack in windows is a dumpster fire, but if you manage to replace it with a better one (which can be very tricky and sometimes you have to pay) it should work better at expense of having to use some external tool instead of the one provided by the OS
in my experience Linux with a well-supported BT adapter is very reliable, that's what I use on my desktop and that's essentially what Android phones use to many people's satisfaction

I was thinking of the Fiio one but I don't know what the alternatives actually look like or how they measure so can't help in choosing one.
>Does that have the option of not charging when wired too?
Doesn't look like it but it is also half the price. It would be a rare feature because IIRC the Q5k has proper power flow switches so in that mode the battery is physically disconnected.

Are there any wireless earbuds with the same long insertions as my Shure SE315? They fit perfectly for me and block most outisde noise without any ANC bullshit.
I got the Oneplus buds pro 2 with my new phone but they sound like crap and even with ANC on I can hear almost all outside noise.
>>
>>102456737
if they fit perfectly maybe consider an mmcx bluetooth adapter instead

Why do you need a bunch of deaf niggers to do more measurements on some new fancy toy mic instead of just listening for yourself? it’s so funny how Harmaniggers are such bootlickers they can’t have a single coherent thought to themselves just blindly following authority. Now that their sand foundation is crumbling they’re backtracking like they were always part of the cool crowd and aware of the issues with Harman’s bass tuck and shouty bullshit LMAO.

how do you guys store your iemgs? i am a zoomer and literally cannot remember the last time i used wired earbuds or any wired audio for my phone. i keep my wallet, keys, and earbuds all on a lanyard, is there a case that can retract the earbud wire like a measuring stick or ship anchor? how do you conveniently take them out and put them away or am i being unreasonable and just have to get used to shoving them in my pocket and untangling the spaghetti to take them out of my pocket

I haven't had an issue with mine, but I only use Bluetooth with my phone, as the one in my computer tends to be less reliable, despite every device being Bluetooth 5.0 compatible.

What's the best option right now if I want a JM-1 tuned pos (w/ tilt ofc)? It must be 1DD and as cheap as possible; no more than 80 bucks.

The graph looks very sexy, apart from the channel imbalance at 8 kHz; this looks very odd, maybe a measurement error? Is this the version without switches?
