>>103489154It's not vague, it's broad. Like, are you happy with them? Do you enjoy listening to them? Would you recommend them to other people? Would you say they are worth buying? To me, these are all very similar questions, and I'd have accepted an answer to any of them, so I shortened it to a more compact and general 'are they worth?' to save time.
>>103489259i wouldn't for most people, you can get there with most pos and eqif you want something that feels and looks very nice, then it's worth it for sure. if you want something comfortable you should probably looks somewhere else, it's a relatively thick pos with not contouring, and a very large nozzlein short, meh, they are far from being a must-have, but they look incredibly well polished and are well-built

>>103489426ignore that section, op is still very volatile and that is a new section with no consensusapple dongle is bad if you're getting the eu version, and/or are using it on android, as both options will halve the output (ie half the volume)

>>103489623>bought a cringicle collabopinion immediately discarded
>>103489637just do the math if you don't want to take my word for it
>>103489603no, the apple dongle has been a constant source of confusion for god knows how long at this pointanons just chose to ignore it instead of discussing its place in the op because its not worth the hassle of explaining its flaws again and againthis is despite the obvious advantages of the aplpe dongle: transparent (low sinad, noise, oi), perfect for measuring, cheap, very accessible very quickly, reliable performance and qc, etcanon >>103489623 is right, most pos do not need the full output of the apple dongle, but its still worth pointing out
>>103489715what math i just came to shit on you for getting scammed by cringe
I regret buying the moondrop blessings every shill said that it was a good choice starting out if you had the money. It gets beat by IEMs the fraction of the price while not feeling like shit to wear

Best value IEM for weeb music?Thinking about the DUSK right now
The power of x memes(concerto).
>>103489426The only real issue is durability if you bring it outside. Power is not an issue even if you use eu dongle on android, IEMs don't need more than 0.2V. But jcally jm20 is a drop-in upgrade for barely any money so the only reason to get apple dongle if you can't wait for aliexpress to ship your shit. What to actually avoid: cx31993, samshit dongle and google dongle.

I adore how it looks and feels though, and I like its sound enough that I might've wanted another tanchjim pair as an eventual upgrade. Everyone said the Kara sucked so I skipped it. I still wanna try the origin. I don't know where I'd get the chance, but I do.

I tried to remove battery with glue on in the past, warped the whole thing since I didn't know how to do it the right way.And ffs there's no good video on youtube about removing the battery only (one complete teardown, removing battery only when the phone's almost all disassembled), that jeet hands video is not only disgusting, he stopped right before the important part of removing the actual battery.
>>103495739The USB C port will shit itself before the battery goes out.
>>103496094I'm currently using LG V20, USB-C port is still fine. It's the 3.5mm that's gotten bit loose (won't hold a 3.5mm tightly), and SD820 4GB are a bit of struggle in current year. Talking about the battery because I went through like 4 batteries (7 years) so far with the V20. It's gonna be the least durable part that needs frequent replacement.

>>103497848I think he meant the volume down + volume up combination. I suppose it switches between AB and H modes, but there's no indication which is in use.
>>103498067IEMs always remind me that most people listen to music and won't even hear half of it.
Best IEM for everything? Music, gaming (non-esports), vTubers, netflix, etcGotta be comfy and good at handling everything no matter what I throw at them. Price is secondary as long as it's not like a thousand bucks or whatever

>>103497713if you mean simultaneous press, maybe nothing. i don't have one but nothing official online says it's a function. it should be easy to tell if it's gain switch by listening. also they didn't implement any LED / indicator. all settings seem to be controlled via app
>>103497262>the NOS mode has audible rolloffpretty sure most implementations are like that. just don't use NOS if you don't want that. you think chuzo sperged out over linear phase for no reason?
>>103500719>just don't use NOSJust felt wrong to me because it kinda defeats the point of buying a R2R DAC in the first place. Furthermore the sound in OS mode was frankly no better than what I was already getting from my KA13. This purchase just felt like a money sink with no payoff.

I am a mixing engineer, I own the Monarch MK2 and the Blessing 2sMy Moondrop Chu 2 arrived today, I just tested it and...honestly, why would the average person want to go for anything more expensive?Even being an audiophile, I would gladly use those for the rest of my life if my top-tier IEMS were suddenly gone.audiophiles talk as if the difference was light years, when it's not even that much different. blessing 2s have perfect soundstage sounding like headphones, and mk2s have perfect tonality and detailing,but even the Chu 2 at 20 bucks and with free EQ sounds amazing

The trick is to avoid anything brass
Blessings are overpriced dog shit

>>103500912it's just a very pleasant sounding pos with impactful bass and sparkly treble, mids are compromised since it's V-shaped and a bit muddy but it still has a lot of charm and can be corrected with EQ>>103500928>chu2 will vanish in approximately 3 weeks, enjoy while you canbought it used a year ago, still alive and kickin'it clogged once but after cleaning the filters it's as good as new, unscrewable nozzles do help a lot

4.8 kHz is the area that I need to fix on the Gate; Bunny seems to get this right. Also more mid-bass and less sub-bass is right up my alley.I would probably still buy the Gate, because stock tuning is basically irrelevant due to eq, and Gatos look much better and come with a good cable. But I give Jim credit for the tuning, especially the attenuated sub-bass in comparison to other pos like Zero2 is a step in the right direction.>Bass is for the weak minded

I just took a giant moondrop and I'm gagging from the smell of my own creation

>>103504416Honestly if you liked Rockbox, you sould consider the Hifi Walker H2. The surfans f20 is identical, but it feels hollow and has sharp corners, it's not as nice to hold.Either way, it's a nice upgrade over my sony nw-a45, it plays a lot more stuff (including MIDI and MOD music!) and is better put together.The "budget-conscious iemg/pmpg shopper's choice" aka the poorfag special, comprised of the H2 and truthear Gate is a pretty nice combo. Better in most aspects than my previous Sony NW-A45 and MDR-EX110, save for the eartips, K reused the ones from the sony earbuds.https://files.catbox.moe/2chcmz.jpg

>>103507147uh oh... either filters got clogged or faulty drivers then
>>103507157Nooo, I did not get into IEM to fully replace them yearly like regular headphones.I hope it's just my hearing adjusted itself incorrectly and everything's actually fine.
>>103507234Clogged filters are common in chink IEMs, but there are chink IEMs with replaceable filters. Or you just buy new IEMs before the old ones die, there are upgrades pretty much every year.
>>103507234This is why you buy iems that look like this and dont clog with earwax.
