>>108006645EQ won't transform an IEM but it definitely makes it brighter or darker
I just got my first IEM, and out of the box I'm already very confusedThe cable comes disconnected from the actual IEMs themselves, and while both the IEMs and cable ends are marked with L and R, the cable end prongs are also marked with a + and -, without any indication on the IEM's cable ports of which holes are postive or negativeHow can I tell which orientation to plug it in as? Does it matter?
>>108006613But I'm him and you're the miserable prick. Why are you recommending these pieces of shit when I already have something arguably better in fact? Yes, aesthetics are important.

Bought the highly regarded Tanchjim Luna today and was listening for about an hour. Is it normal for it to sound so bland? Comparing it to my Cayin Ru6, the Luna seems to have trouble rendering bass notes and sparkle correctly. Also it adds this constant, slightly muted clicking sound that doesn't happen on my Ru6.

>>108007795>why would it matter if a sound is on the left or right.because the audio either calls for it, or it doesn't. it depends entirely on how the audio was mixed first, then it's up to competent speakers to reproduce that panning, instrument and vocal placement, etc., accurate to what's in the audio mix. >do bands always put their bassist on the right or left and i've just never heard of this practice?>mixing musicplay any song. any song ever. the kick drums and bass guitar are center in the mix. not panned to the right or left, just smack in the middle. this isn't mono, it's just placing the instrument where it belongs. vocals are generally in the middle as well and snares should be too, for the most part. bass guitar might as well be in mono because it sits in the middle of the stereo mix.. it has no business being doubled, then hard-panned left and right like rhythm guitars. it's basic audio mixing, placing instruments in the mix where they sit best in relation to everything else, avoiding interference and having the cleanest possible mix. bass guitars' and kick drums' placement in every single mix is right smack in the middle.
>>108007906op has always been retarded, nothing new
I just need something good and cheap on aliexpress and a USB DAC/AMP so I can turn up the volume on my phone. Any recommendations?
>>108008069If your phone's audio jack isn't loud enough then you're deaf or using headpos. If you are deaf please try the Cayin RU6 or RU7, we have many deaf anons here who really enjoy those. If you're using headpos ask /hpg/.
>>108008036okay, but why would swapping the position of a pair of speakers make the music worse
>>108008132if you swap the left speaker for the right speaker, it's still getting the information it's supposed to get. the information for what sits in left and right in the audio will be replayed if your speakers are set up, for example two speakers, one left, one right.you can't actually swap the channels themselves unless you do that with dsp.

Worth it? Or are they all gonna be Chinkshit clones?
My IEMs are making white noise sounds when connected to the onboard audio, will a dac/amp dongle help?
>>108011470Yes
>>108006661Lol I had this same problem when I bought my Quatios last weekYour cables are hooked in order to hang on the earlobe, you need to connect the IEMS towards the ears
>>108011170overpriced aflook up chink ebay (xianyu) instead with a proxy

>in-ear-monitorsuse case?i'm new and unironically don't know
>>108008817all dongles are transparent, all dongles have enough power to run flathead earbudsit's clear this isn't my problem with them...I prefer using my phone's built in headphone jack for convenience, the entire point of flathead earbuds for me is convenience, why would I ruin all of that by adding a separate device, which needs to be charged, paired and all that shit... just to do the same thing as plugging in the headphones?I've never understood the point in these bluetooth dac/amps, literally only makes sense if you're an audiophool that MUST carry around a bulky ass amplifier for unknown reasons.

>>108012548Measures like shit lol, upgrade to apple dongle.
I got a moment of low impulse control and I ordered a truthear pure. Please, make me feel bad about my purchase so that I will stop this stupid consoomerist rabbit hole. To be fair, I have only bought two IEMS so far, gave one of them to husband. I am gay.The truthear pure sound really good based on the interviews though. They are a bit ugly, i prefer the round colorful ones to be honest.
>>108012886It was tuned with the help of picrel. You're supporting the trannie cause.
>>108012886you were wise to order pure. but you should probably get some new tips for it too and maybe a pretty cable
Is anyone here not gay, raped, deaf or incel?
>>108012886tang sancai balanced eartips are necessary with the pures
>>108012878Aside from the fact that nobody buys anything R2R expecting it to outperform D/S DACs, the Apple dongle lacks volume button controls and is therefore a worse option than the Ru6 for portable use.
>>108013263I think I have some of those since they come with the Tangzu Wan'er that i bought recently
>>108013352>lacks volume button controlsretard or what?
>>108013352DAC volume buttons are less convenient than phone volume buttons, especially when you attach it to the back of the phone, which you will want to do to avoid destroying the usb. And if you meant to say set the DAC volume once and then adjust on the phone - that is a completely self-inflicted problem of buying a dongle that's too powerful for IEMs.

Let's hear /iemg/ opinion on my pair of Hexa
>>108013352>upgrade to 16 bits>of course its worse than deltasmegmaWell which one is it?
>>108013154I EQ’d this $4 POS by ear. Now on treble transients there’s no auditory masking so I hear an interesting effect where it’s so clean that the trail of one doesn’t interfere with the attack of another so it’s almost like they’re dancing around. “diffuse” is a good way of putting it.
>I buy low quality... Intentionally!What is this mental illness called?
>>108013450BA pos, avoid.
>>108013529it's pretty cheap and the volume control is convenient
>>108013389>t. Never used Uapp before>>108013400Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?>>108013511Who are you quoting exactly? Because I've never said upgrade to 16 bits or whatever.
>>108013586You can buy high quality with volume control for much cheaper.
>>108013433less people download these viruses than read the eq guide, and nobody has ever read the eq guide
>>108013539So next buy, no balanced armature? Only dynamic driver and planar magnetic?
>>108013511see >>108012638

>>108013728We all agree PR2 owners are deaf actually.
>>108013598>t. Never used Uapp beforeWhat's your point? If you had UAPP, you'd know you can select the hardware volume control. You're just a tard that can't use basic functions.
Bro genuinely doesn't know
bought this badboy
>>108014590enjoy going deaf
>>108014741But thats not the PR2
>>108014803pr2 improves hearing, that iem makes you go deaf
>>108014815Maybe if you consider going deaf to be an improvement. To be honest I think it would be over having to listen to the PR2.
>>108014861so pr2 schizo owns this shit iem but dares call other people deaf, wow
>>108014590Is this really worth the price you pay for? My dad bought it and I gave it a try. Unironically sounds like a $30 IEM
>>108005058Are moondrop variations still a recommend in THE CURRENT YEAR?
>>108014916PR2 schizo obviously owns PR2s?
>>108014928Obsoleted by fox IEM
>>108014931you call all pr2 users deaf but you buy shitty iems like this
>>108014928no. the current meta is 711 coupler + samsung io-ia500 + peqdb calibrationenjoy smooth treble, deep bass, and open sound due to the low occlusion effect
>>108014969I get it now. you spent that much on the variations, ended up with so much regret that your big cope now is eq shit buds to perfection. holy shit what a sad journey
>>108015021PR2 users are deaf and I haven't bought anything. Meds.

>>108015562Sure but I have hemorrhoids
>>108015577You're getting me all wet here, pls tell me moooreee~
>>108005058At what budget do custom molded IEMs make sense?
Any good case/case bag you recommend? have 2 pouches from previous iem, but...they're just cloth pouches.
I always knew IEMs had the perk of turning a perfectly straight male into a flaming homosexual, something to do with the whole inserting buds stuff (and that's a good thing!)
>>108015658For a long time people have said that headpos causes baldness, but perhaps its IEMs that prevent baldness? After all, baldness is caused by excess testosterone, if IEMs reduce testosterone and increase estrogen that would explain everything.
>>108015678I guess it doesn't matter as whether you are homosexual or bald, you will never reproduce.

>>108016518Uh
>>108015237>jm20 max Slow fade in, it's shit.
putting cute pictures on IEMs is scientifically proven to improve perceived clarity, warmth, soundstage and overall enjoyment. People who object are displaying signs of cuta aggression and should be mocked.
>>108016549trve n real

How do you guys store your iems?I'm using this is it good enough?
>>108018742my tips I store in a tacklebox/plastic toolbox. IEM's I keep sealed in whatever containers I can find
>>108018742thats fine just make sure the connectors aren't stressed at all in the box. if you want to store them absolutely ideally get some silica gel/desiccant too
i just leave mine on the desk with the vents and nozzles facing down to avoid dust accumulation
