Seriously, what kind of question is that. Lower the volume when using IEMs.

Sound quality is unrelated to the price. Comfort is inversely related to the price. There's a 25% chance you'll have better experience at all.

By neutral audiophiles mean basslet garbage, when you lose enough hearing you'll like it.

>>106683063
And which kind of neutral is that? I sure hope it's not Harman "neutral", because that's bass boosted V-shape garbage. Only true neutral is DF-Neutral, which I don't know if it exists for iems.

>>106683522
Also, forgot to add, it is normal to not enjoy a neutral sound signature the first time if you're used to bass boosted treble boosted garbage like Harman tuning, because it's like eating healthy for the first time. You try food without any sugar or additives after a lifetime of american food and you're like wow I hate it.
But after a while you'll go back to your normieslop and you'll be like wow how could I ever enjoy this crap.

Given enough time you get used to anything. But getting used to bright signatures is bad for your hearing since high frequencies are more damaging.

Stock type-c's are usually trash cx31993. You need something on cs43131 to have no noise, like jcally jm20. There are new chink chips with PEQ that supposedly don't hiss but you never know what other noises they can possibly make. Ve odo is the cheapest option with one of those.

>>106684434

I have a CX31993 dongle and it works perfectly fine with almost all my devices (only an older phone generates some noise).

>>106684494
>AB13X
Yeah this is junk. CX supports mics, you can just use a mic cable with it if you have no issues. Jm20 doesn't support mics.

>>106684538
Yeah, seems like the CX31993 is good enough for my needs. But I wanted a dedicated USB C+mic cable to use with my phone. Are there any budget IEMs where I can check which chip they actually use for the USB C version?

It is a preference, the main difference is that it's the correct preference if you're an audiophile. You can just guess what kind of people those who listen to fuckin, uh, kendrick lamar or whatever on expensive nigabass headphones are. Mostly redditor Oratory-EQ dicksuckers.

Option 1 buy new headphones or iems.
Option 2 put on a song that is in mono not stereo at your usual comfortable music listening volume, then go on your EQ settings and adjust the L/R slider until that mono song sounds dead center. Then save settings and you can go back to your music.

You can't deny there is a pretty big difference in sound profile preferences between the average spotify listening modern music slop enjoying normie and the seasoned audiophile that listens to high fidelity high DR recordings. Very different kinds of people. If you base your research mostly on "normal" people, you get Harman curve (curve which was literally designed like "uhhh let's just add more bass to DF lolol")
> your "gear and experience" landed you into raw DF which you can't even name
Like I said earlier, it's whatever Stax was doing 40 years ago. That's the true standard. It's a precision instrument. But the curve is also pretty close to Crin's early IEF Neutral target.

>>106685639
>you can't deny there is a pretty big difference in sound profile preferences between the average spotify listening modern music slop enjoying normie and the seasoned audiophile that listens to high fidelity high DR recordings.
I can tho? Do you have any evidence for that except your opinion (lol)?

> you get Harman curve (curve which was literally designed like "uhhh let's just add more bass to DF lolol"
That's wrong but also....you do get that DF is not actually neutral, right?
>Like I said earlier, it's whatever Stax was doing 40 years ago
Elaborate. mr. Audiophile.

No? Says who? Do you even understand what "standard" is? You literally can't even name what the fuck you are talking about. Listen to yourself "whatever stax was doing 40 years ago". What kind of clown are you?

It is.
If not visible wax (there can still be "invisible," to your naked eye wax), then it is moisture, minerals, and oils at a microscopic level. As a micro-porous filter, these foreign elements will prevent the unobstructed passage of sound.

>>106686737
It's not a matter of whatever method of "cleaning," you attempted. Filters should be replaced if needed.

Pretty much only simzo believes better measurements = better techs. Cynics will say worse measurements = better than techs and tech enjoyers don't care about measurements at all. In reality techs are only related to the price. Even if the driver is literally the same.

I'm surprised the Gate survived being dropped in a pool and hasn't clogged with the giant hole in the shell. It definitely feels cheap, but I think they really focused on the driver quality.
>>106680018
It's fairly good, but it isn't really better than the Gate, it's what the Salnotes Zero 2 should have sounded like, with a SLIGHT bass boost.
It's just another 10mm harman tuned DD but with much better build quality, slightly more "neutral" FR.

All these IEMs (also Salnotes Zero, Tripowin Vivace) have the same volume output on my desktop PC, I use the PC case 3.5mm jack.

Come back when you read a book and realize the guide is right.

>>106692006
Due to IEM drivers not being audibly transparent and having built in back damping they won't be true openback even if you remove the back faceplate entirely. There will be occlusion effect. isines and stax are openback but they're dogshit. The best you can have is open front IEMs, like illustrious, or using vented tips. Only useful for voice chats, it doesn't actually sound any more spacious than normal IEMs.
