>Run a 1DD,2BA/side IEM config for multiple years, love it>Newer, larger 1DD/side IEM pair with lower THD arrives today, love itThe DD slam. The resolution with lower THD. Damn, I like the Origins. I think I get why a lot of people like single DD IEMs now. I'm noticing nice little bumps in resolution/texture from the low THD, and that bit of extra DD slam makes it feel more engaging without being muddy bass V-curve bullshit. Hard to explain (maybe it's the subbass?), but it's just very good overall.On that note, I did some A-B testing with the tuning nozzles as well as some tip rolling. Settled on Softears UCs and L nozzles like another anon who responded to me in this gen some several days back. The air and resolution are just really satisfying. My only gripe is that I need Large tips over Mediums like I have now for better seal. I may shell out needlessly for Softears UTs in Large, not sure yet.>Pic rel, the IEMs.

>>107039443Better more controlled bass, better clarity in the treble while masterfully reducing the risk of shout and sibilance. Takes the throne above the IE600 and Turii for 1DDs for me.Not to mention all of the packaging benefits.

>>107042605heh they leaked the hype mk 2
say what you want about headpos owners, at least they're not delusional about "driver quality" regarding DD. sure there's other driver technologies like planar or electrostatic, but they know implementation is majority of the sound. the shit tanchjim owners say about their pos and "driver quality" is miles worse. once you get into DIY, all illusions are broken, but this requires a degree of scientific understanding and rigor that inearpos owners cannot meet due to the precision it takes to DIY a pos. so you cling to marketing and "driver quality." ps it's easy to diy electrostatic drivers, I did it in college
>>107039560Its only $500 for lost manor brokie
>>107043637electrostat is probably the worst meme in audio ever, sounds like shitsorry japan

>>107044831i'd hate to break it to you but tuning doesn't actually exist. graphtards are completely retarded. the manufacturer does a 5 second rig measurement before it ends up in best buy. no one has ever heard them before they went on the shelf.

I don't think she gives a fuck.>Past gear and your thoughts on themSennheiser CX400BT Wireless, she's had them for years and the right one isn't putting out audio any more (but still responding to inputs).tl;dr I know the more intermediate stuff in my price range / expectations quite well, but I'm out of touch for the cheaper stuff that's still good build quality. What's the best retardproof slop for a normalfag right now that's cheap while still having reliable build quality. Only other thing to add is ideally a manufacturer a normalfag would have heard of, chinkshit's can be fine, but I have an itching suspicion she'd throw it away the moment it didn't pair properly if it was a literal who brand (she's told me that when she googled it, google recommended she buy some Google Pixel Buds Pro, and was about to drop $140 on a pair).Honestly, I usually DYOR, but from a quick skim of the OP, none of the recommended wireless ones have a tactile button to control.

>>107047486>seal goes bad when your ear canal changes>refit tax>hard to clean internal tubes>cant sell itit's like masochist pos
when choosing pos the only question you need to ask yourself is: how much am I willing to pay for distortion? $5 isn't enough. are you willing to drop $50 on some good THD? or perhaps $200 pos? will you go as far as acquiring kilopos in search of distortion?
>>107047542>distortionDon't tell me your'e the same retard that used to post asr graphs.
>>107047542>how much am I willing to pay for distortion?kind of a non-issue these days.
>>107047802is there an iem under $20 with as much distortion as a big-brand IEM like the ones listed in >>107044902 ? I figure you'd have to spend at least $30-50
>>107047865no, adding more than a single dd costs moni
>>107047889there's multi-driver pos with <.1% thd, the main difference is price. it's impossible to spend less than $20 to get a shit driver
>>107047880I got my first IEMs in July bro
>>107047918THD doesn't matter and is a useless stat unless 1. You're a boomer with hearing problems2. You need to EQ way beyond what your iem provides
>>107047985>[noeq babbling intensifies]
>>107047995No one said to don't eq you absolute braindead moron that can't read. If you don't know what you're talking about, do actual research holy shit I said eq beyond what your iem provides. This means to don't EQ like +20db to bass, and just buy an iem that has the signature you want and eq around it.

>>107048352my ear holes are really big so yes i need the large ones, they feel fine but i might go back to smooth texture tips because they seal better, mainly bought these for the aesthetic lol
>>107046770I get that this is 4chan, but at some point you have to pay attention to the negative feedback, origin is no bass and all treble stab, the people that liked hana and oxygen are not happy with that one, the ones that dont buy this shit for anime boxes at least.

Probably won't happen with something like daybreak... crin actually pays attention to QC and problems that were found>how hard can it be to glue the thing on properly on the manufacturing line?fuckers are literally trying to cut corners on everything even drops of glue... that's how early batch of daybreaks had problems with not enough glue on cables and connectors. They fixed it almost immediately tho.

>>107045361>>107053437>tactile buttongetting more and more niche, i can't think of any decent pair with physical controls. disliking touch controls on the buds and such is common, decent brands offer app customization for what the touch controls do (or don't do, option to disable the touch controls)appeasing her normie sense of brand-status is retarded. cheap stuff like moondrop space travel 2 meets or exceeds most normie standards for sound quality and function, especially because losing one / them breaking / dying is certainty (wireless batteries all die some day, sooner than later).

hey faggots, what is the best shit for my ears for 500 to 1500$ or 2000$ if i can get something much better, i dont give a fuck about your snakeoil gay little hobby so just recommend something that reproduces audio faithfully without distortion etc (you niggers are almost as bad as keyboard fags)
>>107053947https://rentry.org/consoomer_guide
>>107053947>without distortioneven $5 pos have almost no distortion at all.>reproduces audio faithfullydaybreak I guessyou literally do not need to spend more
>>107053988>daybreakanon specifically said no snakeoil
>>107053947chu2. i'll sell you mine for $500
also ill include a warranty, send pics of your patina'd chu2 and i'll send you another one for free
>>107054028how is it snakeoil lolI mean the least snakeoil answer would be edc pro but he'll never believe free pos can sound good
whats the 560s of the iem game
>>107054068$2 blue vido
>BudgetAround 100$, 125$ max if it's worth the difference.>Intended use (media, source, environment)I use on pc, i will buy a cheap usb dac (probably jcally jm6).>Frequency response preference and music examplesMostly jpop and some ost(touhou), Ave mujica, KAF,Ado,Mili, Aimer. I like mostly female vocals with some attention to instruments.>Past gear and your thoughts on themMostly random 100-200$ headphones-headsets. Currently using JBL Live 660nc, It has solid sound but gets extremely bad if there are multiple sounds at the same time.

is the hzsound ginkgo good? i want an upgrade for my EDC pro
>>107051346Mine arrived just today, they felt great on my Aria 2. I thought buying custom tips was a meme so I only bought them thanks to a giga Ali sale where they were basically free (like $1.50). Granted I can hardly notice any sound differences since I'm retarded when it comes to this sort of stuff but they fit great. Maybe more clear than stock tips.
>>107054076What you described is pretty much my use case and Aria 2 just feels good, same disclaimer in my previous post ( >>107054515 ) apply, since I've only really compared it directly to some random $20 iems and the zero blues, which I found awful. I feel like anything over it would be snake oil in a way, unless if it's for a better fit or different build quality like if you prefer 3d printed to metal.
any good speakers on aliexpress?
Thanks for the replies, I was thinking mainly of Dunu kima 2 because i heard good things about vocals and its good for long hours of usage, i will look up supermix4, not a big fan of the aria 2 mainly due to paint chipping. I forgot to ask but i plan to use these maybe 6-7 hours a day, is the supermix4 comfortable for long hours usage?
>>107054348stop making us look bad ya retard
>>107054763you can find edifier stuff, like the MR3 https://youtu.be/Inpgge093o0but shipping usually makes it more expensive than buying local
>>107054832Fair, paint chipping is an issue with the arias alongside the filter clogging/oxidizing. Anything being comfortable for extended periods vary a lot person to person, but anything that isn't overly heavy or has super big nozzle should be fine.
>>107053730>wireless batteries all die some day, sooner than laterit's true, but there's the elite among elites in the twshit world that's relatively easy to open, uses standard coin cells (varta/zenny) and doesn't need solderinggranted, that's absolute minority, but it only makes them even more attractive as the only tws worth considering

What do you store your iem/dap in? Pic related is $80 and I'm not paying that. I've thought about 3D printing a box or something for them but haven't looked to see if someone's already made the files or if I have to make it myself.

>>107039103I love my Blessing 3s and I don't care who knows it. It is the only thing I can tolerate listening to that isn't my HD800S or my wife's Hifiman Edition XS. In-ear shit just sounds so trashy normally and EQ doesn't help much on things that aren't the B3 in my experience. Now if only something as nice as the B3 existed with an in-line or boom microphone I would never have to wear a shitty headset or bluetooth earbuds at work for Teams meetings ever again.

Best IEM tuning for Zydeco music? Like Professor Longhair or Buckwheat Zydeco
I wish I was a woman.
>>107057651You could get it for like $210 last Ali sale. Will probably be the same now on 11.11.For less money ($100) you can't really go wrong with the Aful Explorer. But it lacks the satisfying mid bass punch (unless you EQ). That's its only real problem. I use my Explorer with -2db low shelf (under 60hz) and then +4db peak filter at 80hz. With Penon Liquoer tips it slams pretty hard.
