I'm Indian, what IEM should I get and which Ali stores ship to Mumbai? Thank you.
Reminder that R2R, tubes and DSD are headpos law.
>>107711719Moondrop Variations, saar.
>>107711719Try to find EO-IA500 in Delhi bro, it's the best after PEQdB
flangezo here.Got curious about triple flange tips on other POS. I thought the Libra X would be the perfect candidate considering it is fairly linear treble but bright. Unfortunately the tips did not really increase the bass or impact like it does on Gate. Maybe it’s a fit thing idk but it did not transform the Libra in the same way.Gateymotics are special for some reason.

And the 2025 $5 shitbud of the year award goes to... PR2v3
>>107711890The most raped ears award.
Congratulations to PR2v3 for being the best $5 shitbud released in 2025. Pair with R2R and tubes for the best experience.
>>107711692techs are... le weed
Out of all the new $5 shitbuds released in 2025, and sorry Kunten, the one that withstood the many challenges this year are....PR2v3
How will he ever recover from this?
>>107711851lol id post my hand with a wedding ring but1. I don’t care 2. you wouldn’t believe anywaysRepent and believe the good news. As a matter of fact you’ll hear it very clearly with most iems
>>107711944From the best $5 shitbud released in 2025? Hmm.
>>107711961married men are the biggest incelssource: their wives who always complain about them to mepost bicep and ill believe you
PR2 won. R2R won. Tubes won. Repent.
>>107712016Hairline lost.
what can I buy in the $150-$300 range that will feel like an upgrade to my Letshuoer S12 (non pro), have looked at the guide but there's too many oooptions. Also are there any good bullet iems in this range? I like bassy V shape
>>107712115Price is inverse to quality sweetie.
>>107712126rookie mistakelower distortion != bettereuphonic distortion = better
>>107712126I bought PA beryllium and they did not sound better (to my ears) than my letshuoer s12
>>107711977Nope don’t care. I’m not huge by any means anyways but I have some small stretch marks on my biceps.gateymotics are the truth. GK Koonty is bretty good.EQ is extremely valuable if you can use it.Repent and believe the good news of Christ and audio. Thanks.
Endgame.
>>107712326i believe on the lord jesus christ for my salvation, still fucking your wife tho
Anyone got anything bluetooth that's on Amazon (need to arrive by Jan 7th) not too expensive and good, better than melobuds pro (what I currently have but I lost an earbud so I want to replace).
>>107711692>no Sony, technics etcyou're all trying to hard. Either that or you're all unironically broke third world brownies
>>107712785brownoids* brownies are actually delicious. tho id still eat latina ass desu
>>107712767az09 and chu2 TWS endgame
>>107712785Clueless. Sony made like 1 IEM in recent years and it's absolute dogshit. Technics made 0.
>>107711692Thoughts on the Technics EAH-AZ80? I might buy at 25% off. My old earbuds just died.
>>107712873what should I buy $100-250 that isn't Chinese dogshit then?
>>107712926Tampons.
>>107712967?
>>107712307You got the revised version, it's #35.
>>107712926etymotic is the only worthwhile non chink pos, and even then the chinks copied them perfectly for way less
>I maintain that a single speaker with low fres + DSP is the best solution for in-ear headphones Based.
>>107713001they look great but I'm concerned about my ears being raped by their deep probing tips
>>107713084then maybe the meze albathat's pretty much it, everything (including the alba) is miles better from the chinks for cheaper
>>107711725Post your IEMs. Oh wait, you don't have any. Let the /iemg/ posters who have IEMs decide what /iemg/ is about.
I'm a sick fuck disgusting freak that has to use two different tip sizes
>>107713174that's like having two different sized cocks in each hole. disgusting.
>>107711919I get incredible techs from just caffeine even
>>107713174whore
>>107713118/hpg/ lost. EQ won.
>>107713237pretty sure /hpg/ eqs my nigga, they're also full of planarfags
>>107713118funniest thing ever is knowing that three of those pics are from the same retard lmao
>>107713251Surely all planarfags EQ and not just tank 15dB treble spikes...
>>107713252You're not supposed to laugh at my ragebait.
>PR2+DS2let me guess, you need more?
