>2 pin brokeIs there any way to fix that or you just shit out of luck when that happens?
>>107917924You can extract it with fine tweezers; alternatively, you could dab a paperclip in superglue, wait for it to adhere to the lodged pin, and then pull it out.
my recent ali order had some fine tweezers. I hope i'll never have to use them but I figured it was best to have them before I need them.
>>107917974I see. Hopefully I'll never need to that. Thanks anon.
Can't believe I'm still the only one who has posted a good setup in the past year, you shitters really need to do better for 2026.

>>107918234can i see your setup
>>107918453
>>107918519i was gonna show mine if you showed yours
>>107918234Just my portable setup. Plugged them into my Jot3 for shits and giggles and could barely move the volume knob on low gain before they were fullblast.
>>107918874Was using W1 Spinfits here, swapped to AZLA Mithryls and they're night and day better and easier to clean. W1s get soggy after a few cleans.

>>107917604>>AVOID USING:>• Mainboard audio when using multi-driver pos>multi-driver poswhat did OP mean by this ?
>>107918978who is your top 5 foxfus
>>107919912who ARE your top 5 foxfus, sorry i was going to ask who your number one was but then realized thats a dumb question
>>107919791Most motherboards have rather high output impedance, and multi-driver pos have a wonky impedance curve, so it changes the original tuning
>>107919958>multi-driver poswhat the hell is a multi driver pos ?
>>107920073more than a single driver stuffed into a shell and producing soundThis is a similar technique to speaker crossovers. Each driver(if done well) covers a frequency range to eliminate any deficiencies in the range. Most common for instance are tweeters for high treble and dedicated subwoofers for bass. If done right they shouldn’t interfere with the other frequencies>the problem 99% of the time even if a crossover is done well it will change the impedance curve. So when you add impedance, each POS driver will be affected differently. Ie. the main driver will increase 1db but the sub driver will increase +10db. hence why mobos are awful in general especially for non-single driver POSsomeone correct me if i’m wrong here.
>>107920117I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. Are you implying I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm Finnish?
>>107920151i was just explaining what a multi-driver POS is.
>>107920151Take your meds, and I say this specially because you're finnish

should i get an expensive dedicated audio player or a cheap phone and an expensive dongle / portable DAC? wont get an apple dongle in principle, fuck apple.
I've discovered you can generate the most dopamine being an Apple dongle supremacist on /hpg/ while posting R2R and tubes on /iemg/ that is all.
now what if apple made an r2r tube dongle dac
nooo i need my SINAD to be in the excellent ASR ranking!! apple dong suxx!

i bought shokz opencomm2 uc 2025 and i'm confused>audio quality is fucking excellent, never heard anything this good from anything outside of a big bulky pair of headphones>bought the usb-c dongle version thinking it could take over all my usecases beyond online talks while playing vidya with friends>usb-c dongle is somehow on par latency wise with the built in bluetooth, that is being right on the edge where it's tolerable and you can easily break yourself in to not mind>tried to force lower sample quantity in pipewire and they keep changing id so the settings don't applyi guess can hold onto these things for 5 years since my basic bitch openmoves lasted for 2 years without any damage but i wanted something better
>>107921958Wrong thread, this one is for /hpg/

Retro Nano or Qudelix 5k?Reddit says the Fiio app sucks but, the features look fine, 10 band eq with autoeq options. Retro Nano is about half the price and has replaceable batteries, Qudelix has crossfeed and cascading eqs for some reason. I'm leaning retro nano.
>>107921077what do you suggest i get?
>>107922361>with EQliterally anything. Most ideal would be a single driver relatively linear POS so you don’t have to manually tweak a lot of peaks and dips>without EQtruthear gate with triple flange tips

its funny when i get called deaf here because I have 40% hearing loss and shitty 30 euro IEMs sound the same as 100 euro IEMs
>>107923168that's sad. 30 euro iems should sound better than 100 euro iems
>>107923195i cant hear guitar strings, seperation is difficult, everything is basically just the mid-range with explosive higher frequencies that do nothing except hurt my ears
So, I got cheap ass kz edc pro as my first iem. I has very low bass and it's sound hurting my ear. Even sound clarity not betterthan my tws. Am I doing something wrong?
>>107923265get cheap ass neutral IEMstangzu waner studio edition, truthear gate, truthear hexa, salnotes zero
>>107923265You bought kz before going deaf. Go deaf and you will enjoy it.
>>107923265Your seal is bad, get some different tips
>>107923404tips alone arent going to fix your iems
>>107923308>>107923404Used them with a dac this time and experimented with different tip sizes that came with it. I think the problem was with smaller tip size that came preapplied. Much better now. Thanks for help anon.>>107923335I just wanted to try iems. They were cheap with good reviews so I got them.
>>107923696How would you describe the sound
>>107923696Sorry, that rude guy earlier is Deafzo. He's the raped. Anyway use large ear tips and then EQ. EDC Pro can sound like however you want it.
>>107923696consider getting kunten next, it's like $7 on aliexpress

>>107923848you paid that much for a dsp dongle baka
>>107923696Yeah a lot of people in this hobby and especially this thread are deaf, kind of hard to tell who is trustworthy in this hobby.
>>107923894Why are you trusting anyone to begin with? This is 4chan, not your hugbox. Evaluate instead of talking out your ass and regurgitating falsehoods.
>>107923950I'm making a statement of fact, not talking about what I personally do or advocate for. Its actually concerning how often people confuse explanation for support. Just because I say KZ shills are deaf does not mean I want them to go deaf, I am just explaining that they are.
My friendship with gk kunten has ended, nickhck tears are my new best friend
>>107923990Congratulations on restoring your hearing, being deaf must have been hard.
>>107923990worth $18? I can order tomorrow
>$60 for replacement earpadsoh, that's why you guys buy iems instead
>>107924126aliexpress my nigga
>>107924101Shitposting aside they fit my ears better than other shitbuds specifically calling out bunny, wankers, and kunten which fit me terribly. They are are actually comfortable. They'll definitely be my new dog walking IEM for the near future. The cable and tips aren't bad on first impression and I think they'll be a strong contender in the bracket, but I think the Kiwi Ears Cadenza 2 will be better when that comes out later this month
>>107924144yeah i totally will get bootleg earpads that'll mess up the sound
>>1079241541. earpads are eqable2. there's lots of options probably

Using Aliexpress is like subscribing to free shitbuds.
I'm probably over $1k in coins, vouchers, saver, sale coupons and store coupons spent.

>>107926104why rip it to DSD? the only new detail or information you get out of doing that is just bloating unnecessary file sizes, for no apparent reason.

I got the Tanchjim Bunny IEMs and I like them a lot, very clear and nice separation, amazing for voice or instrumental, and has ZERO sibilance...I first got some cheap 10USD IEMs called "Popcorn" and they have great detail but the sibilance is unbearable, like cold metal stabs at my ears...The Bunny are superb "neutral" to my taste and ears....But I do listen to Psytrance and some other electronic genres that benefit a lot from DEEP BASS... I am looking for a BASS alternative for such occasions. I was told Castor Pro Bass edition was what I was looking for but then got recommended DECET by KZ, which seems to be better than Castor Pro Bass but it has 5 drivers in each ear? Does it not distort?Anyways, my budget is no more than 25USD, I just want some easy listening, warm, BASS RICH alternative to my Bunnies. Thank you guys, I am still on my research stage so I might repeat questions every other thread, thank you for your patience!
>>107933012KZ Decet is just Castor Pro with 3 more drivers in each ear, the logical conclusion. Bass is crazy.
>>107933056K thanks, I might order them tomorrow then.Someone also mentioned QKZxBB1 or something like that a colaboration it seems, but I could not find comparisons on line comparisons to DECET, which is why I got paralized in my research.
>>107932946Don't mind Deafzo. A KZ rep raped him or something idk.
>>107933083Is that why deafzo loves kz so much?
I am looking for IEM's in the $250 and below range. I plan to use them mostly for gaming (not competitive gaming, more like JRPG's), anime and music listening. I won't be using them for work or anything, just home use. The current IEM's that I've been thinking about buying are the Cadenza 4's for $229.
>>107933281you should spend 2000 USD instead, you might not be able to hear the full chinese cartoon music and full videogame FX if you pay less than 2K USD.
>>107933383Very funny, any actual recommendations? It can be $20 buds if they are good, I am using a old pair of AKG's.
>>107933413The recommendation is to go deaf and enjoy KZs, deafzo will attest.
>>107933483I dunno who the schizo in this general is since I'm not a regular but I guess I'll buy the daybreak's, they seem well reviewed and they aren't too pricey.
>>107922279Check measurements of Retro Nano and check reviews for Bluetooth range, etc before buying.The Q5k is clearly just a better product. It has better build quality, better apps, more features... The only reason to get something else is price.>Qudelix has crossfeed and cascading eqs for some reasonBecause some people want them. Its the king for a reason.
the clearpill on this is to stop wasting money on ear buds and headphones because wherever youre using them, youll always have noise where it wont even matter. just buy floor speakers, a good amp, and play .flacs. you literally dont need anything for portable beyond a phone + your choice of earbuds <$200, and a reasonable car sound system
>>107933678>floor speakersobsolete, just eq your iems to this target and get better sound than any speaker
the ideal sound is informational only, completely non-embodied and non-intrusive. you want to privilege attack and outline with zero pressure or continuity between notes. think 2d sound, that's what you want. that ceiling is reached early so just buy a shitbud. anything more expensive is not just worse value or pointless, it actually worse. thank me later
Feels good to listen with EDC Pro and not have to worry about any of this.
>>107933736This. I bought a Tanchjim Luna originally because it seemed like a good fit for me as I am a product of incest and also a pedophile, but when I listened to how well it boiled away all the excitement and unpredictablility that drew me into Hifi in the first place, I was completely flabbergasted; Like the equivalent of watching paint dry.
>>107933619>>107933281Buy aful explorers and so you can have peace of mind and never come here again, thank me later.
>>107933827This but kunten and pr2
>>107933827>>107933860are you gigachad. beautiful posts
i meticulously study the spectrum analyzer for every song and average everything out to create the perfect flat and neutral eq for it
>be deafzo>ass raped by kz rep>ears raped by kz soundBrutal. Remember the CCA CRA? Yeah me neither.
v-shape tuning sucks, thanks for trying to make me go deaf chang, ill stick to neutral-bright thank you
harman is the best tuning, and it's backed up by science
>>107933791>>107933736>>107934047all you need tbqh, natural & V eqs on a bunny/cadenza/celest wyvern.
>>107934121Harman is a load of shit, kill yourself
>>107934121anime waifus know it
>>107933619not a bad choice. enjoy it.
>>107934128its neutral-bright actually, for a gentleman such as myself who enjoys jazzv-shape is for loud plebians who enjoy their rock, rock as in banging rocks together like a prole
>>107934140nta, but you took the bait. at this point we have /hpg/ and /iemg/ somewhat interspersed
>>107934140>is a lot of shiteducate yourself
>>107934160yes I listen to most of my music with a neutral signature, and the v is for bassy tunes or for tracks with techs.
>>107934186yeah me too actually, v-shape for metal, neutral for jazz
moshe harman from israel
EDC Pro won.
Which pos is this?
>>107934658prolly shure SE215 clear
>>107934658Possibly edc pro, the real endgame and even spic fuentes can recognize this simple fact.
kz owners once again outing themselves as blind and deaf
>>107933736Deafzo will never recover from this post and its replies.
>>107935014idk that is a bad post but hardly deafzo's worst
Will you buy Space PRO? :3
>>107935054no it looks like something a rapist would buy and as a rape victim i dont want that around me
>>107935068Do Tanchjim sissies really
>>107935078rape people? yes unfortunately they raped all the kz owners in this thread
Daybreak vs Divine? I'm pretty torn between the two.
>>107926352holy crap! wat izdiz? moonderp fell off
>>107935088>>107935078>>107934146Zzzzzz call me when your onahole gets released
>>107935136onahole will be modeled after kz owners' pussies
>>107935104Daybreak, in cringy we trust
>>107935104https://youtu.be/3osF_sl1J9g?si=bbZGujrMP20hsmErNeither, Daybreak is confirmed dogshit just like all crinacle IEM's, using IEM's in 2026 is mentally retarded, buy speakers. All IEM's are pseudoscience dogshit. Don't listen to this generals seapag shills. They get kickbacks by selling white men slopEM's to than buy more pagpag.
If Tanchjim owners like onaholes and EPZ owners like dildos why don't they just get together?
>>107935349they're incels who will never have sex. they can't rape a fly. kzchads won tonight's cringefest
>>107935281^^^Raped
>>107935418kzsissies got raped thoughbeit
>>107935475at the end of the day you're not having sex
>>107935490depends on if you consider raping kzsissies sex
Everybody wants to have sex but few are willing to rape
Everybody wants to rape but few are willing to escape being the raped.
How do IEM shitters feel now that everyone's knows about Samsung EO-IA500's costing $8 and absolutely raping every expensive IEM on the market, just use peqdb and for $8 you now have better earbuds than moondrop variations, Hiby dogshit and all the other IEM slop. Insane how retarded IEM shills are, they are the modern mechanical keyboard, coffee hipsters. Being an audiophile in 2026 is pure humiliation ritual.
>>107936014>Samsung EO-IA500post yours
peak iemg
>>1079360245128 measurement confirmed they are the best earbuds ever developed, surpassing the best IEM's on the market.https://youtu.be/VJQUmx84KHM?si=ugj3Q6ckEq72ahDUHow does it feel to sink thousands of dollars into a snake oil hobby only to come right back to $8 earbuds?
>>107936313post yours.
>>107936327https://a.co/d/e9ZZYwe1k bought in the past month, highest selling wired earbud of all time currently, $8 and destroys $1k+ IEM's. Your clearly angry that all of the money you invested was a waste, all to be beaten by $8 in pure solid material and superior Samsung QC/Tech.
>>107936403and where is yours?
>>107936418exactly what I keep asking him...>>107936403you're saying some over the top shit. you know damn well the market would be flipped from under its ass right now with all the outrage surrounding that samsung pos and repeated impressions of, "wow the best soundstage/imaging/everything I've ever heard! more so than my $X00/$X000 TOTL".fuck outta here sharur fanboy
>>107935008ED9 Pro is great, if the Libra X (arriving soon) ends up being good I'll be a KZ shill for life. I would say only the Salnotes Zero and Truthear Gate are as good in that price range.Sure, their multi driver IEMs suck, but I prefer 1DD anyway. They just need to be honest about neutering their own product like AMD and Nvidia.
>>107936418You once again are deflecting to avoid the harsh reality that a pair of $8 earbuds sets all of the research and money you spent looking for the perfect pair ablaze.
>>107936441It's because you low IQ audiophiles can't accept that $8 in earbuds makes your $100-1000 IEM's a joke so you are too scared to actually buy a pair and realize the blackpill. You have been sold pseudoscience and placebo, you have been successfully psyoped. Sad!
reminder that only foxbum has a pos, everyone else owns 0 pos
>>107936442Before you voice concern about my IEMs getting dangerously close to bathing in beer, I'll have you know that I accidentally dropped my Gate in a public swimming pool and it still sounded great, even while filled with chlorinated water.The paint peeled off the filters long ago, but it still sounds the same after all this time.
>>107936507in ear monitors? more like in BEER monitors!! :D
>>107936459>makes your $100-1000 IEM's a jokehow exactly does it do that?
>>107936602https://youtu.be/VJQUmx84KHM?si=bYSvOHUoH8tcXUIQWatch the video and you will understand
>>107936620>hasn't watched his recent videos>you must buy a $50 coupler to channel match>and a $100 q5k to eq
>>107936640The earbuds are $8 with imaging that makes your 1k IEM's shit the bed.
>>107936656those $8 shitbuds don't have phase magic that expands soundstage out of your head, nice try tho
so, yongse wukong.it's no bajie, but it's really good.it's actually my generally preferred signature oob, so i should like it more, but there's just something about the way the bajie presents itself; it just has more bite. still very good though.anyway, anybody with the echo mini notice that the balanced out sounds brighter than the 3.5mm? the low end seems to not have as prominent of a slam or rumble.
>>107936665The $8 earbuds are better than whatever vodoo phase magic that shoots beams of lights inside your brain, cope more. You got BTFO by $8 earbuds LMAO. IEM's in the big 26 gotta be the biggest snake oil industry.
>>107936703you will never replicate the phase magic of kilopos
>>107936620is that it?? what else you got?
Anyone own the kiwi astrals? Might pick them up.
>>107936014Obsoleted by fox IEM.
>>107936713FIR blocks your path.
>>107936872obsoleted by real men
harman is best for jazz goyim cattle
>>107937153Real men use fox IEM.
>>107936666Yeah I hate the echo mini, can't wait for my r3 2025 to arrive
>>107936448>can't afford a $5 shitterMany such cases.
Sent a tip about shittur to ICE, he may be deported.
>>107936858Astrals and Tea Pro's are literally the best IEMS on the market until you hit the $600+ range. They are the top end of IEM's before getting into autist tier.
>>107936515Nice one anon,I lold.>>107936442The ED9 pro is actually much more durable than the previous version, but it still can be affected by clogging/channel imbalance. It seems that the default filters are louder (so probably have less stuffing inside the nozzle) and sound better, so I'm still okay with them. If these clog I'm going to have to begin the difficult process of finding another bullet IEM. I didn't like the Tanchim one. The kz ling long is ok but sounds like generic Sony buds with 1/3 less volume output. I've been thinking about Astrotec Vesna / Hzsound waist drum but they're not even on AliExpress anymore.
>>107936620>doesn't EQ length modesAt least 3 years behind iemg.
>>107929928Makes sense>t. Former sennshill, current coomdrop enjoyer
>>107929928Cringe is making fun of poorfags on that pic btw. Deafzo can't read the room. People forgot his first collab was a $1000+ IEM and he won't put his name on cheap shit(worked on 7hz zero and crn in secret, disavowed the latter later).
edc pro? cheap garbagegk kunten? old newsfox? no techsthe future is nicehck tears get used to it gramps
Arete 2 are amazing for FPS games. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase considering that's the only thing I bought them for.
>>107937722kiwi ears cadenza / nicehck tears / kineara celest wyvern
>>107937722>neutral warm v-shape>anyones future when they go deaf
recommend me some wireless buds
Upgrade.
>>107938171no
>>107938294https://youtu.be/cIQ9IXSUzuM
>>107938385Yeah, if you have ru6 upgrade asap.
is it tears as in tears running down your face after realizing you've gone deaf listening to them or tears as in tears your eardrums and makes you deaf listening to them?
>>107939477it's from shame of giving nicehck money
>>107939477Tears from getting continously raped
Samsung EO-IA500 + PEQdB or tanchim bunny + eq guide?
Well lads, it looks like PR2 won another thread.
>>107939477White tears run down my leg.>>107939867Bnnuy.>>107939919Hearing lost.
>>107936442I have Libra X and it was almost good but it’s like KZ decided to go for pure diffuse field. Either that or I just can’t get the best seal with most tips.Treble is smooth but it needs to be downtilted by a decent margin. You do get that “diffused effect though which is cool, extremely detailed and not super fatiguing but still bright.Kunten wins.Truthear Gate with deep insertion is similar but has that downtilt making it more pleasant and tonally correct
>>107936014Isolation and occlusion reduces soundstage but is indeed still a feature and not a bug.Samsung shitbuds are useless on stage for instance.
>>107940127B-but shittur said...
Just bought this, and it actually sounds better under a pillow since that’s what it was designed for.Kinda makes me wonder if pillow quality affects the sound.Besides the audiophile pillow speaker, is there such a thing as an audiophile grade pillow?
>>107940509u seriously are getting your head blasted with bluetooth every night during 8 hours?
>>107940509>>107940535i see the appeal, when im nearly sleeping i dont like having my iems in, and sleeping on one ear kills the sound and enjoyment
>>107940598these work well for me. you'll need a extension cable if you buy corded though
