>>107810393To be clearer, I was expecting a much better imaging in video games. I saw no difference in bf6 (the sounds localization is kind of shit in this game anyway). However, the occasional missing sounds are much easier to spot; the PC350 is so old that I lost a lot of details, making it sometimes hard to miss such bugs. I slightly increased the bass using an EQ: It's fine now, for music. >>107810347I'll check the eartips, thanks for the hint.

anyone in here own any planars?
>>107810894Yes, why?
is there even a point in buying $50 IEMs if my $150 phone only supports 16-bit audio? i have most of my music in FLAC (ripped from CD) but im honestly thinking of just getting $20 Sony BT earbuds.
>>107810898well, what you got?
>>107810913Audio file formats matter way less than people think, CD FLAC is the gold standard. The IEM you plan on using is a lot more important, plenty of cheap $20 options too that will sound good and last longer. See the OP.>>107810949I own what I consider to be the best planar (Raptgo Hook) but have tried too many of them.
Maybe I should get into headphones or speakers again. Tanchjim solved portable audio and thread quality isn't getting any better.

>>107815021Do you have Alzheimer's? You said you can't EQ driver behavior. Show which part of it you can't EQ. FR is driver behavior and you can EQ it just fine, so your entire premise is false. But I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself.
>>107815056oh you think editing csd plots with eq does the same as getting real csd measurements from the speaker.I'll save you some time since you'd rather bitch than have a conversation. you cannot eq driver behavior and FR literally is not everything.

>>107815095the jeet mind thinks pic related is how it works. so sad
>>107815095>editing csd plots with eqWhat? You measure an IEM, EQ it, then measure it again. No editing. I can and I do EQ driver behavior, still waiting for 1 measurement of something that you can't EQ.>>107815120It is in fact exactly how it works, no matter how much you bitch and moan that it doesn't, with no proof of course.

Got GK Kunten today. Seems kinda like EDC Pro, except more resolving and balanced, while having less ear-rapey highs (needed Kbear 08 tips to tame that on EDC Pro). It has a touch less bass compared to EDC Pro though (even with 08 tips), for worse in my opinion. Measurements look unreliable, with some indicating Kunten indeed having a bit less bass, while others suggest it ought to be the same. My guess is that it comes down to filters on my EDC Pro being more clogged or maybe even unit variance (that big of a difference would be pretty bad).

This is probably the wrong thread so I'm sorry, but I'm frustrated at me current Bluetooth earbuds: I have a handful of skullcandy and Jlab earbuds (they were free to me) that Have failed after a couple years. The skullcandies just refuse to connect in their charger pod and simply won't charge unless I have the rubber earpiece in a specific orientation. Then on top of that when they reach full charge they turn themselves on and connect to my phone and drain to 0% without charging again. I'm confident the developers at SK are legally retarded. The JLabs seem to connect and store better, however they don't fit in my ears very well and simply aren't secure there, plus have horrible passthru audio and barely make it past mowing the lawn an errands. Any tips on bluetooth earbuds that don't cost hundreds of dollars? alternatively, what thread should I go to if this is incorrect?

I always buy only pagpag shitbuds and I always buy them used.
>>107815492fooyin is intended to be the straight replacement of foobar, but it's still WIP so the closest you can get right now while keeping all the important features is deadbeef
>>107816350i've used sony wf c500 almost every day for 4+ years. fit is really good for me and probably for others as they arent large or anything.think theyre called c510 now. idk anything about chifi though, there are maybe better options
If FR is everything and you can EQ driver behavior, why can't you achieve Luki subbass on your pos? Sounds like self-delusion.
>>107818104Try installing equalizer apo.
>>107818104Sub-bass is a tricky subject, and it's not reliably measured by test rigs. Sub-bass often sounds worse in dynamic headphones than the measurements indicate. Generally, even budget planar headpos like HiFiMan HE400se can deliver good sub-bass with EQ.
try graphing or eq'ing to this.
>>107816659Why would I want to use stock KZ tips
>>107818298Use the tips that fit best. Not the ones that equalize your pos best.
>>107818311Good thing KBear 08 do both

>>107819938I need eq to make konoka bRrRrRrRrRr until it's just before overdriven
>>107819942sounds like fun. just make sure, since you'd like to push your pos to as much bass as it can handle, setting pregain accordingly is key. I thought my Ouranos was taking a shit on itself when I was boosting bass on it, because everything else was obviously drowned out, but negative pregain then did the trick and nothing seemed like a struggle anymore.
>>107820004pregain is obvious yea, with luki/konoka im not so serious about it so I set everything but the vibrator/subwoofer frequencies to -25dB and tweak from there. maybe I should revamp it but it sounds good enough. nothing you can do about some of the midrange mud unfortunately
>>107820028>some of the midrange mudwhat range of frequencies is that?if you're satisfied with the sub response but still have bloat, you get the best out of the sub region by cutting 100-350Hz. with a good DD it gives kick drums a better thump

brehs, which one should i getttttt? i cant CHOOOOOOOOSE
gwnxhjsj purple one sold out as i was contemplating. SAD!
something weird happenedi haven't used my meizu dac in a while, plugged it in and now there's basically no volume, i had to keep it at 8 (yes 8) but now even 100 is barely enoughis it fucked or is it windows' fault?
>>107820752set windows volume to 100
>>107820763yeah uh still not enough, it's like it lost all volume
>>107820752>>107820771it was windows being fucky, i restarted the audio service as a last resort. i had to write a script that does it because some arcade games will completely lock the volume to a set level and the volume controls won't do anything until you restart the service. all the other times the volume got locked to fucking deafening levels so i didn't immediately think this would solve it.
