I got the dunu lyre mini for only $33aud during 11.11 but it is so micro-phonic it is unusable. This is a shame because every single aspect of the cable is premium as fuck, it would be a 10/10 if not for the micro-phonics. So what I am going to do is cut the fabric sheathe off it and find out what is underneath, will report back here fellas.Also I think the oriental brothers at Hakugei fucked up their black friday sale pricing for pic related, paid $51aud total. The black friday price was removed only a few hours after the sale started lol.

>>103275959Just resell it bro
>>103275153>>103275959lol reasonable, shame you wasted the money on it. funny enough i saw headfiers arguing about it because one guy claimed not to hear any microphonics, so he said the other guy must have gotten a "defective," cable. god headfiers are deaf...cloth-covered cables are the dumbest shit for iems. terribly noisy

>>103277120so...should i get it?
>>103277157Its good for the price
>>103276965it's overrated.every moondrop TWS i've ever bought including this one has the max volume set so unbelievably low it's disgusting.i don't know why chang hates volume control so much, every other TWS i've ever had is double the default volume of moondrop ones.
>Asano lego's already goneMaybe next time...
>>103277157Depends on your budget and sound preference. For something less than 20 bucks the Space Travels punches above its weight in audio and build quality. That thing can compete with some budget wired IEMs like the Wan'ers (Wanker) and even Chu 2. Also, Spacetravels are tuned to neutral. If you like something with punchier bass go for TWS stuff from Soundcore.
>>103277186>>103277157This thing too. Space Travels have very low volume gain and will EASILY distort if you push that thing above its limits, like in Wavelet for example.
>>103273039Just how bad can they be?

chorbo
>>103277810Nigga wrong thread
>>103276378Whoa... thanks
>>103277439they typically have better sound quality than built in audio like from a pc motherboard or a smartphone. low output impedance, SINAD, linear phase filter (only some dongles have linear phase like CX31993 or specific models of CS43131/CS43198 based dongles like FiiO KA2, FiiO KA5, moondrop dawn pro allow you to manually select the filter using their android app)
>>103277424i own them, they're good.but for the price you're better off getting denon perl pro if you just want the best TWS audio quality. if you care about transparency/ANC features more then get samsung

>Budget100 euros>Intended use (media, source, environment)Music>Frequency response preference and music examplesDidn't get it>Past gear and your thoughts on themKz ZSN Pro - I don't have much to complain about, I like the sound. The only thing that sometimes I miss is a better distinction between instruments that orbit in similar frequencies. Sometimes the sharp cymbal mixes too much with other instruments, lacking clarity. But overall I like it.Coomdrop Space Travel - I would say that the kz zsn pro still pleases me more than this one. Even costing more, I feel that the spacetravel does not deliver even 20% of what KZ delivers. Not to mention the weak bass, lack of acoustic isolation (KZ without ANC can isolate better than the spacetravel with ANC on lmao). Overall I feel that the sound has no "soul", the basses of Kz better fill the sound, which makes it more "full".

>>103281110it has a similar driver config so probably more than other IEMs
>>103281200I have 1130 songs mostly in FLAC in my DAP. It takes up 30GB. Note that your mp3 player system could take up extra space too, so it's not fully 32+64. So yeah, it depends on your music library.
If I'm aiming for a neutral tuning on a budget, can I do any better than the 7hz Zero 2 and EQing out some mid bass?
>>103281481get the wanker sex edition
>>103281481Sound differences between common budget 1DD recs are marginal. They perform well and can take EQ. Fit comfort and stability are more important factors dependent on your individual ear anatomy, meaning you'll just have to try them. Overall Zero2 does not rank highly for wide appealing fit. Common complaints are that the nozzle is too short and the shell is not ergonomically designed.
>>103278915Cancel and order Q5k instead.

>>103284262meh it's just bright. budpos have a very low ceiling of fidelity anyways. listening to vocals is fine
>>103284278any similar priced buds (or cheaper) like yincrow x6, vido, any faaael offering, is just going to sound better.don't know of any budpos enjoyer that actually recommends the ydx to anyone because even by flatbud standards the sound is poor.
>>103276965Will they fall out if I use them for running and other cardio workouts?
Apologize right now.
>>103284301I would take the YDX over all of those you mentioned simply because the cable is that much better. Getting any of these based purely on sound quality isn't something I'd do.

>>103284798I'll check and see later if I still have their measurements but in short: I very much doubt the commonly shared idea of different color Vidos sounding different.
If I'm EQing with peak filters, what are the realistic limits to how much I can increase gain? Is there no limit as long as I use a negative preamp? I try not to go past 3db gain on any frequency since you can end up stacking filters even when using low values.
>>103280926both are objectively bad sounding bellsing pos(slop)
>>103284332not a single good iem in the picshould have gotten a cadenza 4, 5+2, s15 or some other pos for that
>>103285191With proper preamp, the limit is your wanted listening volumeI'd say that for most EQ presets, ±12dB is the limit. Beyond that it's not particularly useful.
Can anyone explain to me how an audio player can cost an arm and a leg? Isn't it just a simple machine that outputs ones and zeroes? How come some of the shit I find can reach like $2000?I'm just looking for a simple one that can play music, has bluetooth and wifi, and I can set multiple alarms on it.
>>103285397Because people will pay for it.For a budget one get the Hiby R1 or an old smartphone, especially LG V20 and V30 have great dacs.
>>103285397snake oil and shit, daps stop being worth it above 200$
>>103285397>niche market segment>hobby filled with pseudoscience>little competitionthey're going to price their shit for maximum profit, which means the highest price that customers are still willing to payluckily for them, audiotards love wasting money
>>103285397Snake oil/Pseudoscience runs rampant in the audio hobby
>>103285408>>103285421>>103285428>>103285442So they all sound the same, right? My old $15 MP3 player connected to a DAC that outputs to my speakers is the same sound quality as a $2000 one in the same setup?I might just get a $50 smartphone. I just want a dedicated music player at home so I don't need to care about storage or battery life and all that shit.
>>1032853971. SOTA chips like AK4191 + AK4499EX and ES9039Pro aren't cheap. 2. High-end audio players are basically smartphones and it's not easy to engineer like a small chink company.3. Small chink companies don't have the bargaining power like Samsung or Apple to buy parts for cheap.4. Refer to point 2 for DAPs using R2R/1-bit/Tube technology. Tubes require a properly designed suspension system within the DAP so as not to sound microphonic as fuck,
The way I see it, shit like the FiiO M17 is meant for people who want the equivalent of a full sized audio stack powerful enough to drive passive speakers and high impedance studio headphones and shelves worth of CD albums in a portable battery powered form. A very specific product, not meant for people who want a pocketable music player akin to those from 15 years ago.
>>103285487The rise of smartphones basically killed cheap DAPs because for the likes of normies, their phones are 'good enough'. So DAP manufacturers started to cater to the whales and you end up with shit like the M17.It was only after Apple killed off the headphone jack that low-end DAPs started to have a niche again which is why we see cheaper stuff like the Hiby R4 and JM21.

>>103286037>working outThat's what tws/cheap earbuds are for
>>103286059There's this one issue with the Moondrop Space Travel's ANC where when someone drops a heavy stack on a machine, it seems to trip out trying to cancel that *CLANK* noise and drives needles in my ears. Otherwise, that's what I use, but it leaves much more to be desired from an IEM.
>>103283929>objectively
>>103286092It goes crazy doing that when it tries to cancel out my weed whacker. I just disable the ANC for weed whacking and then turn it back on for leaf blowing.
How much will my earphones get fucked if I keep changing the cables?
>>103286037Jesus Christ anon. Just get some $20 tws and pair em with your phone. You're not at the gym to appreciate your music.
>>103286169So it's not just me. Because I have 2 of em and they both have the same problem.
>>103286194But I do.
>>103286200It's just a limitation of ANC technology. It's good at cancelling continuous noise and bad at transients.
>>103286212I guess.Unrelated, what do you think of planars on IEMs? I'm eyeing the Timeless atm.
>>103286228I've only heard the Tin P1 and the Dioko. I like the P1 a lot better. From looking at graphs (and from seeing Audeze's bizarre products a few years ago), it seems like they have some trouble tuning them. I like them in full-size headphones, but that's a very different application.

>>103286130>>103286267The AES paper was actually made by Sean Olive. Soundguys new meta comes out on top, then Harman 2019. So yeah, the "only untrained listeners prefer less bass" argument is outdated.
damn, nicehck nx8 looks decent, basically a cheaper awful p7>>103286331nice to see confirmation, agreed on op addition
Where my cluster 4 transbros at??
>>103286267>>103286337can you read the picture before you reply with your clueless drivel you fucking ape
>>103286400Not the same anon, you wit. Are you deficient in iq? I even purposely only showed you a picture in case words are too hard.
harmen...it's over...
>>103286463>deaf niggas prefer harman which was the target sound for yearsNot surprised considering this hobby is filled with boomers.
I was going to ask what was a good choice for just a cheap workout/general working set of earbuds, mostly for podcasts, people are saying these moondrop space travel ones? Do they actually have anime girls speak when you adjust the settings or whatever? Pretty funny.
>>103286677>people are saying these moondrop space travel onesthe only choice for budget tws focused on sound quality. you should look through scarbir.com if you put more weight on ipx rating, connectivity, fit stability, etc.>Do they actually have anime girls speak when you adjust the settings or whatever?you can adjust between normal and cute anime waifu voices iirc, but yes
>>103286677Whats ur budget bro?? Snoy XM5 are bretty good in tech
>>103286463>>103286489that's not what this diagram says
>>103286874what does it say?
>>103283943Incelphones
>>103283929crinacle's 5128 measurements are broken because he only has the ear and not the head. crinacle's 711 graph are closer to what the bass response is like, zero 2 and chu 2 have niggerish bass out of the box but the subbass isn't exaggerated vs the midbass like your pic suggests
>>103287114>711 (IEC711) + 4 (IEC 60318-4)mark of the devil, we shall not fall for your bait.
>>103287131use a tone generator, the subbass is cringe if you EQ to JM-1
>>103287145no thanks, i'll stick to the eq guide
>>103286966difference between harman and soundguys is in the margin of error also number of participants is very low
>>103287175oh that, i thought i was reading the graph completely wrong, no yeah you're 100% right, i was just joking around
soundguys has nerfed upper mids so it might be less offensive to the average person but not the most accurate
new endgame dac just drops-it costs $24
or maybe if you'd display the graph differently with normalized average loudness the soundguys target is fairly neutral without the scooped lower mids
>>103287199>>103287228the moa study shows that the average end target is closest to the dfmod target above 1khzthe soundguys target is both bassier and darker above ~2khz than the avg and cluster 1 end targets
>>103287199in a normal study harman will unironically win again...
>>103287246yeah my target pretty much looks like a bassier harman beta 2024. i'm only 1.7db below harman 2019, not sure how sean olive got such a drastic reduction in bass from 2019 to 2024.
>>103287224Didn't know Luna measures that well, common transjimmy W
>>103287271quick look at your end target is that you're a part of cluster 4 (ie quite bassier than the average, and darker treble in line with the avg) with less energy between 400-1000hz
>>103287279it's the best measuring dongle in terms of snr/sinad/thd+n behind the fosi dac, but has much more powerstill overkill for iems and way too expensive, but a nice addition to a collection for surehttps://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/tanchjim-luna-portable-hp-amp-dac-review.58272/
>>103287283lol the harman boomer accuses me of being a deaf elderly woman >>103287306
>>103287289No it's too cheap, anime engraving is worth at least $500.
>>103287271>>103287306>>103287311have fun bickering amongst each other>>103287316>buy any cheap dongle>slap on anime waifu stickerfuck that whore!
>>103287324Troon coded post. It's like attaching a rotting flesh sausage to a vagina and calling it a dick.
What's important is the difference between bass and treble. If you have more treble than bass then get into the class 3 corner.
>>103287224The only number that matters for IEMs is this.
when will an IEM brand be brave enough to make their mascot a cute anthro instead of the ten billionth anime girl
I'm about to buy an Aria 2.Please convince me otherwise.
>>103287785They're already furries.
>>103287922Only if you like vocals, and willing to accept that after 2 years the paint will chip out. Otherwise buy the Zero Reds.
>>103287785I just need an Anthro Yuki or Asano pleasepleaseplease
>>103286171>How much will my earphones get fucked if I keep changing the cables?Any cable and port has theoretical lifespan. Realistically just don't overdo it. Straight in, straight out, nothing should go wrong. You should consider it a replacement part i.e. don't mess with it unless it's dysfunctional. Some IEMs have QC issue where the slot is very tight, meaning you need to be even more cautious.>>103286352>nicehck nx8 Bleh I have very little faith in NiceHCK pos. Bad track record overall. Previous NX7 sold well, but had poor acoustic design, low quality drivers, etc. Now they're hiding the guts with opaque shell, and I don't think they've done much sincere R&D. The few graph samples don't look terrible, but it's far from a blind buy for me. I'd take an Aful around the same price any day.>>103287922>Aria 2The paint is gonna chip in terribly ugly fashion. 1DD sub-$100 are very competitive and not vastly different in sound.
>>103284332>Apologize right nowmore like condolences right now.my condolence...
>>103287922Inawaken dawn ms, sivga que, kefine klean, ew300 are much more competitive
>>103284380No good pos costs over $30.
>>103288701>>103284390
>>103288497Like a transformed/anthrofied version? With slightly different EQ? That would be fun. This stuff is kinda gimmick based anyways.
