The cable gets hard after a while, but I will just swap that with another IEM. The straight 3.5mm connector works better with dongles.

Hi /iemg/, my current headset is slowly falling apart and I keep reading how IEMs are pretty good value. I'm a filthy gamer so please bear that in mind.>Budget$30 and under since I don't know if I'll actually enjoy shoving shit into my ears yet>Intended use (media, source, environment)Videogames, voice chatting, watching videos, all at my desktop computer>Frequency response preference and music examplesNot sure, it's fun when I can feel the bass but not when it starts to drown out the rest of the sound. I listen to all kinds of music but I guess mostly electronic and sometimes orchestral. I guess something balanced so I can hear everything decently but maybe with a bit extra bass?>Past gear and your thoughts on themHyperX Cloud 2 headset, I like it but it's falling apart and gets uncomfortable sometimes

>>107278781bunny, zero2 or edc pro
>>107278879it's kinda balanced sounding oob, with just that bit more low end. it's not really obnoxiously niggabassy. feels kinda weird though, like my ear canal is being licked by a 1000 year old vampire loli. reminds me of the nuraphone with that immersive mode turned on but dialed down.seems like it does need some pretty good amping, and im gonna tip roll to try and get more of that loli tongue sensation
Thinking about trying out a DAP, any suggestions for something decent with lots of single ended power output that is not insanely priced?Looking around most of them are too lacking on SE power for my hungry fixed cable buds

>>107279387Link?
So many people claiming sound improved once they moved to 4.4 balanced cables. Makes me curious to try it. It's more convenient with 3.5 though.
Accidentally washed my Tanchjim Ones with clothes. Threw them into the dryer right after. They still work.
>>1072794734.4 is 6dB louder(in the best case)
>>107279524Also increases bass, soundstage and instrument separation.
>>107279564I just said 6dB bro.

I have noticed my hearing becoming slightly worse after using IEMs
I miss my Hola. Gate just doesn't compare.
>>107279706they're open-back, you'll get a fox with holes
>>107280146Both statements false btw.
billions must BRIRmaking this only took me 20 bucks and now my hd600 is speakers
>>107280155at least the first one is not
>>107280180It's false. You could remove the faceplate entirely and it would still have occlusion effect. Custom versions have a vent on the side and the tuning is identical.
>>107279974Fr, I think imma tap out of this market till I still have some hearing left. Not enough dark iems on the market, sinking ship fallacy be damned
If only there were some way to make the tuning of any IEM dark...

Sweety, if you can't measure techs, soundstage, instrument separation and resolution it means that you are retarded and fell into marketing scam buzzwords.

>>107282512Haven't read it so I can't tell
kz edc pro with mic and pause button arrived and I have a question. I'm testing it on everything I have and it sounds pretty much perfect on my vita, ipod and phone which are pretty much the only things I'm going to use it on. but on my pc it picks up a constant white noise, which my usual headphones don't pick up. is this because it's more sensitive and is thus picking up more noise than my headphones or is it because of the mic lead may be bridging with the ground lead, and if I got the micless version this wouldn't have happened?
>>107279473balanced is an efficency hack for dongles, they generally put out 2.5x more power over 4.4 than 3.5, just invest in an $8 cable to get the most out of it
>>107276926just got myself a used 7th gen iPod Classic for 50€, it even came with the original box. battery seems tired, works well otherwise and is in good condition. already put Rockbox on it and I'm transfering my flacs on it currentlyhow did I do?

>>107279705bass boost is unironically enough to prevent IEM-related hearing loss
>>107280583I got edc pro and they sound like tin cans. Will try different tips.
tfw chinks and poor chartfags are making us deaftfw tanchjim on apple dongle is the fastest way to achieve it. and they still don't know how to EQ
>>107282861Using over 1mW with IEMs causes hearing loss no matter which EQ. And US Apple dongle has whopping 30mW.
>>107283027you're not saying anything. the mWs aren't important, it's the ability to adjust the volume on the fly, to comfortable listening levels. not saying the dac needs it, but somewhere, you have to control volume. and your piss poor take is assuming too much, like people aren't adjusting volume. this is why you're not saying anything..
>>107283056He doesnt understand impedance or that some iems need more power to be driven properly, leave him be with his crapple dongle
i've got a questioni've installed equalizer apo and set it on my smls m3i added preamp gain of -30can i be sure it's always going to be on on my machine or is there a risk that it's going to bug out during listening and my ears are going to explode?
>>107282626I don't speak schizo language but I'm going to assume this means the iems are too sensitive to noise coming directly from the pc and it's not the mic lead. decided to also test it on my old phones, it has a very teeny white noise hiss on the n95 and blackberry curve when audio starts playing, but it sounds fine on the xpressmusic. I think the xpressmusic might have some kind of discrete dac.
>>107283133bug
>>107283133Windows update that requires restart will fuck it up every time.
>>107283133>preamp gain of -30dbyour 24-bit files are now 19-bit and your 16-bit files are not 11-bit. congratulations, you hate dynamic range.

>>107276926WTF Dunu S&S was supposed to be the endgame eartip but it doesn't work for me at all, neither in my Pure or in T10Are there any eartips recommended for Pure/Hexa, or is it best to just stay with the stock ones? They work fairly good I guess, so maybe I shouldn't be fixing what isn't broken...
>>107283056US Apple dongle is uncomfortable at over 10-20% volume.>>107283069Apple dongle has less than 1 Ohm output impedance thus won't modify the FR of any IEM.
>>107283225Yes. Amp, DAC and room noise reduce ENOB as well. You must be listening at 140dB to get full dynamic range.
