Reasons to equalize your pos:1. Take full advantage of planar magic, cvj luki2. You can listen to Moondrop Stellaris and TRN ST73. Attain perfection on your PEQ'd $5 shitbud, why buy anything else?4. Fight back against chinks using Harm Man as acoustic weaponry5. Counter bright recordings by adjusting the brightness and darkness of your pos to comfort level.6. Free (You)s on /iemg/7. Serves as a foundation for other DSPs/VSTs, upsampling, convolution, etc. when increasing techsBe sure to take care when boosting (or leaving alone) high frequencies or you'll be as deaf as Deafzo. Equalize responsibly.

>>107989074Okay ironic weeb
>>107989120The answer to your first question is no I'm not deaf.
>>107989130Not me
>>107989136Literally not you or just not the current avatar of your schizophrenia or w/e
>>107989153Meds
>>107989168Sorry I'm not an expert in your mental illness
>>107989170Not for me for you
>>107989171What?
leave my friend alone. it's not his fault he's deaf (it's the PR2's)
>>107969588
>>107989183I'm not deaf and PR2 owners aren't deaf.
The answer to your second question is I use a toilet. Using the street is illegal.
>>107989201But how did you and pr2 owners become deaf?
>>107989233Not deaf.
>>107989238But enough about me.

>>107988592why should anyone ever eat anything other than hot dogs for dinner?
>>107989323You can't equalize a hot dog to taste like anything.
>>107989333You can't equalize.
>>107989341Yes I can.
PR2 is still $20 at https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr08VP7 You can get all the best KZ IEMs like Dawn, ED9 Pro, PR2, EDC Pro, Kunten and Decet for free in 5 Saving Wednesdays or less.
https://youtu.be/RvD8cuJO-L0>When you have an annoying peak somewhere, you can use a narrow-band filter on it, but do it with your ears. Listen some things: pink noise for example. And you will hear some hissing things somewhere where it shouldn't hiss, and then take that out, locate that frequency with a parametric equalizer and try to make the pink noise sound pink again. That's the way to do it.
>>107989350Not with that hearing loss, not really.
>>107989323but what type of hotdog? pork? beef? chicken? vegetarian? with a cheesy center? skinless? grilled? fried? steamed? boiled?
>>107989369No hearing loss.>>107989373They all taste the same to xir because xhe has tastebud loss.
>>107989382>No hearingMy condolences.>>107989333You can add ketchup and mustard, the same granularity as >>107988477IEMs with midrange problems are an insurmountable challenge for you by your own admission.
>>107989401Yes hearing.
trvke
>>107989421You can save presets for each of your IEMs. That's how I do it.
>>107989421based consooooomer
>>107989319thx anon
is the Artti T10 a meme? it sounds worse than most $15-$20 IEM i've tried.
>>107989572depends. what're you powering them with?
>puts ketchup on a hot dog and calls it equalizationoh nonono kikeslave bros not like this
>>107989401You can't equalize your gender either.
>>107989610he didn't mention eq yet you schizo.
>>107989572Im using a Fosi K5 pro mini for my PC. It sounds like something you'd expect from a $10 IEM. I heard from some people that the T10 is very eartip sensitive, changing it can make it sound way better. Tried a few eartips but none of them sound good.I bought some kiwi ears flex as I've heard that will make the T10 shine, still waiting for it to arrive. The EW200, Aria, ND planet and tanchjim Bunny all sound better than the T10 to me.
>>107989572It got stealth revised
>>107989694
fuck. >>107989702 meant for >>107989580
>>107989722
>>107989702>>107989572Thanks. I was about to buy Artti T10 as my 4th planar but now I'm not.
>>107989728>4th planardont worry you're already deaf enough to enjoy it
>>107989742You're deaf.
>>107989728i will report back once I've tried the Kiwi Eartips. Saw a youtuber claim that it will only sound good with certain eartips, and the Flex is one of them.
>>107989757What do the eartips actually do for the T10? What's the exact problem? I normally just EQ whatever the fuck is wrong with it as long as the tips create a seal.
>>107989755Now say it without crying.
>>107989776You're're are're still deaf.
>>107989783Try again
>>107989812You're deaf.
>>107989767It sounds muddy and stuffy, lacks clarity, the soundstage is narrow. The EW200, Aria, Bunny and even planet has a much wider soundstage and better clarity to me.
>>107989819>EW200, Aria, Bunny and even planetEA500LM easily mogs
>>107988331What ear tips would you recommended if comply p-series make my ears sore and the occlusion is still too much?(foam or silicone, i use Etys if that helps)Else do CIEMs tend to have occlusion problems?thx
>>107989819Honestly T10 sounds like a fucked up IEM. I might get one though if the eartips fix it though.
>>107989817Nope not quite
>>107989910Ok well I'm glad we've had this talk.
>>107989319Also, what is the name of this track https://files.catbox.moe/6zqt5n.flacThe whistling at the end that sounds like a tea kettle really caught my attention, I have open backs and it genuinely made me think I left my kettle on.

>>107989990Oh.Thanks anon.
>>107989914Still crying I see
>>107990027Never did.
>>107990094You cry in every thread deafzo
>>107990106You're Deafzo.
>>107990110We're deafzo
>>107990118Just you.
>>107990119But I am you, wake up
>>107990121You're really gonna run a thread to bump limit like this just because you don't like an IEM model?
>>107990129We are.
>>107990133Just because you don't like an IEM model?
>>107990138No because you're deaf.
>>107990142No u
>>107990146no us
>>107990149I don't even listen to music with IEMs/headpos often enough to become deaf from them. I listen to an album once, there's only a handful of metal/rock albums I didn't understand on first listen. I know some of you niggers sleep with them on. The entire accusation is really stupid and you've been shitting up this general for months with it.
>>107990189But you are deaf. We are deaf. I'm sorry for buying the PR2 and deafening both of us.
>>107990196This is retarded.
>>107990200Yeah buying the PR2 was a retarded decision.
>>107990207No.
>>107990211Yes
>>107990214いいえよ
>>107990219You will never be japanese
>>107990229What does this have to do with your PR2 assburgers?
>>107990233You mean PR2 deafness?
>>107990236Sure, if that's what you want to call it.
>>107990246Well listening to the PR2 makes you deaf, as you very well know.
>>107990253Nah. I only saw you sperg about this since last summer.
>>107990260Sorry but even pre-revision PR2 makes you deaf.
>>107990262None of them do. You just keep repeating the claim.
post your most competent pos>Hydro>2DD+8BAwhat you gain with pos like Top Pro, Daybreak, or any other hyped hybrid for that matter, is marginal at best and barely audible at worst.
>>107990273Then why are you deaf?
>>107990356I'm not deaf. You're like Captain Ahab, but without the excuse of a missing leg.
>>107990366You are deaf.
>>107990189>>107990196>>107990200will you stop? also IEMs do not make you deaf, noisy DACs and ground loops may howeverjust don't listen above 70db and remove sources of noise like ground loops(no ground is a ground loop apparently btw), basically guaranteed to not cause tinnitus
>>107990389Only the KZs makes you deaf.
>>107990395You're a victim of Internet trolling.
>>107990409All KZ owners are.
>>107990415Projection.
>>107990419Not really, I am a deaf PR2 owner like you.
>>107990427Reverse projection.
>>107990430True
>>107990444Case closed. Now you can stop chasing your white whale.
>>107990454More like a brown whale.
Air Pods Pro 3 are $199 on Amazon rn.I'm gonna grab em.I just need good noise cancelling and I don't think any earbuds come close to beating APP3 in ANC.Was thinking of getting the XM6 earbuds but they're probably be a huge disappointment as with every modern Sony product.
>>107990389High frequencies over enough listening time will damage hearing. OSHA sets limits for occupational noise exposure that you can look up. It's a solved science.
>>107990512KZ PR2 over any amount of time will also damage hearing.
>>107990525my hearing is fine. post your pos
>>107990538Why?
>>107990540to get a baseline of what you think is acceptable, then shit all over it. it's only fair.
>>107990544Sorry, I meant why are you deaf?
>>107990551still waiting on your pos. can’t talk about hearing without your reference point,
>>107990574No need, I own KZ PR2 and I am deaf.
looks kino…
>>107990580ebay phone mogs all these
>>107990580expandable storage?
baby fuck sisters..>>107990593i don’t want a phone or any touchscreen for that matter. I have a surfans f20 but tend to leave it behind at times because it can be a hassle
>>107990605yes, even comes at 128gb >>107990621 baby duck**
>>107990512>only high frequenciesall frequencies can and will and at octaves too, if it's too loudThe limits often quoted are 85 db a weighted for 8 hours per day, but a weighting is a ponzimaxxed scam from the noise mafia, 70db(no jewish weighting) is enough to make the cochlea vulnerable if it's constant without breaks 24/7
>>107990605sorry the storage is not expandable, and runs android but is rock box compatible. Look up innioasis y1 for reviews. And i don’t mean to shill but it looks like it might comparable or cheaper on the actual website as opposed to ali express
Simgot SM5 is ass, isn't it?
>>107990643Don't listen 24/7 without breaks and limit acute high frequency exposure. Solved science.
>>107990525Wrong.
>>107991025Sorry you are right, damage hearing is inaccurate, it will actually make you totally deaf.
>>107990512Nobody told deafzo "high frequencies" in this context start at 1kHz with the highest damage caused by 4kHz and frequencies above that actually causing less damage. That's how he became deafzo.
>>107990525They're fine if you EQ >>107980092Another reminder that only noeqs listen loud, to work around shit tuning.
>>107991233EQ doesn't help, it still makes you deaf and you don't EQ either way.
im genuinely a deafzo (40% hearing loss from an infection at birth) and pronounced cymbals and high hats become unbearable if youre a deafzo, not fatigue, genuinely painful.what everyone calls a fun v-shape trebble or bass cannon, that shit makes my ears bleed.for reference listen to The Doors - Been Down so Long, that drum beat is unbearable on pretty much every IEM minus neutral sounding ones like studio tuning/harman truthear hexa, pure, tangzu waner studio edition, linsoul zero 1, etc.
>>107991464That's hyperacusis. There are many ways to be deaf.
>>107990580I have one, no amp, so I don't use it desu.I'm buying an iPod from eoe this month.
feel like i've been scammed outta $60 falling for the IEM shill, maybe I'm just not using them properly but I can't hear a difference, unless spotify lossless just sucks...are these just really shitty ones or something?
>>107991594>wanker 2>$60you got scammed alright, these are like $20 top without discounts
>>107991613$60 aud all up including a custom cable that is too big and a lightning to 3.5mm converter. the IEM's themselves where only like $30
>>107991594Difference from what. What difference did you expect.
>>107991635from my headphones, i got them cause i kept getting shill posts talking about how good IEM's where and you are missing out on an amazing music experience. literally just sounds the same
H****** l** never missed.
>>107990580It is. Just got one.
behold the Asteriamaybe the best looking iem ever?
>>107991660>t. headpos user
>>107991652never buy into hype. dont just blindly buy because tiktards are shilling the shit out of something. instead use that as a stepping stone into learning about the subject and building knowledge through research.learn about fr graphs, learn to eq, every individual has a personal preference and thus you should learn to compensate your gear's shortcomings. it's much more satisfying to perfectly fine tune a heavily flawed pos into your own personal target than just eating slop fed to you by influencers and "audiophiles".it's up to you if you want to stop now because you feel that you've been had and move on with your life, or you can use this experience to learn about the nuances of the hobby and have fun autistically adjusting bars so you dont go deaf.and always remember that the pursuit for the perfect sound is and will always be futile.
>>107991652how's the fitthe fit makes or breaks most IEMs which makes tip rolling a real thing
>>107991953they fit decently, im using the smallest tip and it still feels a bit too big tho>>107991904i mean I'm not even sure what the graphs are or where to learn, i asked in a previous thread for some learning info and didn't really get any help, same with the shit fest on the IEM sub. even without knowing anything i would of expected them to sound a little different from my headphones
>>107991997>im using the smallest tip and it still feels a bit too big thosounds kinda big then imo, i'd recommend you measuring them and seeing if you can source some alternate tips for them
>>107991594>bought anime girl IEMs>sound like shityou fell for the el classico
are the moondrop space travel 2 good?
>>107991494any good iems for hyperacusis?
>>107991061Still wrong, Deafzo.
>>107991241
>>107991087This is exactly how OSHA defines it. Again, solved science.
>>107992598Still deaf, wrongzo.
>>107992797Still wrong, Deafzo.
