Remember, it's treble and not EQing your treble that makes you deaf.
>>107597080>eq with sine sweeps so dangerous they had to shut it down and put a health warninglmao eqshitters BTFO
>>107597080Speaking from experience btw.
>>107597110only the last two will have audible distortion funnily enough, and even those are still less than half of the distortion found in the techs paper lol
>>107597110>price is inverse to qualityTrue.
Do not get confused, every measurement you've seen so far was derived from the IR.Distortion, phase, FR, group delay, CSD, SWR, all IR.
Have some more DSD for your bit-perfect DAC.https://files.catbox.moe/31rmyx.wvhttps://files.catbox.moe/kla75j.wvhttps://files.catbox.moe/4u8jvb.wvhttps://files.catbox.moe/2n9xb0.wvhttps://files.catbox.moe/6x6t1y.wvhttps://files.catbox.moe/fqnr21.wv

Looks like I just fucking killed the thread asking you to post 1 picture of your collection. Whoops. Now I know never to do that again.
>>107597342That's all of the audio community though
>>107597230Well where's yours? Surely you're not asking them to post their collections while trying to pass off that obvious jewtube screenshot as your own.
All I want is 1 picture of your collection, and every time you scram, for 4 whole days. Is "post EQ" your only excuse? Let us see the harman earrapes that caused your hearing loss. Let's see what made you so afraid of 200mw dongles.

all of these 'IEM recommendations' are just ads for overly-priced chink garbage. https://tangzu.net/products/tangzu-the-king-wukong-1dd-6ba-4est-in-ear-monitors>nearly 2k for some fucking 'monkey king' bullshit. All of these IEMs are just about milking paypigs.
>>107597874kunten is $5 and sounds better than half this list, you're not doing a good job disproving the price and quality inverse correlation
>>107597890prove it
>>107597884to be fair, people actually bought NFTs
>kunten>literally just a zero2my sides
>>107597884>All of these IEMs are just about milking paypigsYes, this is why you eq kunten and forget about everything else
>>107597923edc pro is better
>>107597921it's closer to a chu2 imo
>>107597953>literally just like any other 1dd sub $50same thingreally funny to see how easy it is to influence audiophiles
>>107597960its not the same, its owners are exceptionally retarded even more than usual
>>107597986seeing as how they use 711 and 5128 measurements simultaneously for eq, im inclined to believe you're right
>>107597230>>107597230
>>107597921Literally KZ. 7hz is at least a real company.

anyone heard about the samsung EO-IA500 being the new hot shit budget IEM?is this just a meme? they're 10 bucks so it's not a risky gamble.
>>107600062>anyone heard about the [new pos of the hour] being the new hot shit budget IEM?>is this just a meme? they're X bucks so it's not a risky gamble.why even ask if you can't even confirm if what we say is true or worthwhile
>>107600062You got a $80 rig to fix that channel balance?
>>107600077just wondering if anyone has one and can attest to it being good or bad.>>107600092i will simply win the lottery and get a perfect one.

>>107600180nobody asked chang
>>107600160i heard they were worse if you were looking for a more neutral sound but i guess they don't have that channel balance issue?also heard they were bootlegged to hell and back so it's hard to find genuine ones.

>>107597923
does linsoul also ship from within the EU?
Would it be possible to extrapolate the HRTF of an individual by using X pos with applied Y EQ?
>>107602033how would any pos give you any HRTF information?
>>107602033only way to kinda get some vague idea about own HRTF is to compare a bunch of headphones and IEMs with known high quality measurements to what you are hearingor measure it somewhere (not exactly an easy process)
https://pomf2.lain.la/f/vlvkln9u.flac
>>107601391Does it suffer from the same shitty quality control as the chu 2?
>>107602674We only listen to real musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2i_IuAB6wo
>>107602033not really, the best method would probably to compare with a speaker setupbut idk, just contact your local university and ask if they offer hrtf measurement services, i know a ton that do. quality wil vary depending on their acoustic expertise but it's usually manageable.
>>107602694>tfw my anime ending song isn't real music
>>107602811>implying universities do anything anymore
>>107603020Tell them you're gay and they'll do it.
>>107603020cmon bro, just go to your local shit university and they'll tell the underpaid undergrad to insert dirty mics and measure a fucked up version of your hrtf in a torture chamber, do it for the science and hrtf bro trust me

anything good on the linsoul sale?
>>107603156settle down zoomer, your grasp of english was esl tier up until 3 years ago
>>107602033best way is to EQ to speaker set up and what sounds good for you.if you want to EQ soundstage in just drop it we don't know how HRTF correlates with virtual soundstage in IEMs. It could be literally anything. Even some specific mismatch with HRTF that's up to individual

>>107603470Thanks, Anon. I'll check them out.
>>107604176what did you buy
>>107604245TRN something, it was like 20 bucks
>>107604263did it have detachable cables?
>>107604270Yeah
>>107604276can you post a pic?and yeah a lot has changed in the past year, let alone half a decade agohonestly most of the choices in the op are good if you're not picky about sound. they're all durable, comfortable, and vetted by anons here (i own all of the iems listed)
so that's why they didn't share any marketing graph??
>>107604297This oneThere's too many to choose as usual
>>107604299Graphs for earbuds is going to be extremely variable, my recommendation is to not pay attention to them unless they provide positional variance data.
>>107604320ah the trn v80, now that's nostalgicby modern standards they sound bad but if you're looking for something similar in sound you'll have a rather hard timemy personal rec is the ruta10 (metal build, small, comfy) or the bunny (they sell it with a usb c cable if you need it)
imagine going schizo over charts for your life only to eq by ear for 10min in the end
>>107604398you eq by ear after you go through the schizo chart phase
>>107604385ruta10 is ass
>>107604412i like it, it's bassy and the shouty and screechy midrange gives it techs and detailswanker but more v shape, perfect if you ask me
>>107604409it's like linus torvalds saying to print out the GNU coding standards and then burn it or jews reading the old testament only to study the Talmud
>>107604421i never listened to a shitbud as worse at nasalmaxxed vocals than ruta10. total ass
>>107604297Thanks anon, are there picks that are better at isolating sound from the outside?
>>107604441Trivial to EQ. Oh, nevermind.
>>107604441i love it>>107604487isolation is one of those things that isn't important for a lot of people surprisingly enoughthe q1 pro is the most isolating out of all of them, both the bunny and ruta10 are below average i would saythe gate is also a decent option and is of average isolation. idk about the v80
>>107604329Are you measuring with a pinna? I'd expect more roll-off with a poor seal
>>107604616Pinna doesn't allow me to control with as much precision the positional variance, but yes you are right the bass drop off is worse with a pinna. The pic I used is rather old so it doesn't have some of the changes I included to my methodology to replicate those effects, I can measure them later today if you want since I'll also be measuring the Chopin.
