>>108019573Is it possible to have ear canals that can't handle anything inserted into them except earplugs?Like silicone triflange and foam(isolation ones not IEM tips) were relatively ez to sleep in when i was used to them but IEMs systematically fail to seal my ears(except foam) and if i get a seal then there's unbearable occlusion and pain, i can handle etymotic with comply foam for like an hour max before my ear canal gets increasingly painful and sore, standard IEMs with big shells are less painful but the occlusion and absence of isolation are literal torture.How do you even remove silicon tips without tweezers or decompression pain? I'd like to enjoy IEMs but the pain is making me sneed harcore considering even redditors of all people can sleep with their IEMs on like nothing happened
why is epz g10 so good, bros?
Not only have my trashdump edc pro survived a year of straight abuse, they can RUMBLE at low volume with just 5bands of peq and 2layers of 500 filters on each plus the little metal grill. I'm pretty treble sensitive so sadly these shits are absolutely unusable without those filters and eq, but they sound very very good with them. I hope these stick around and never get revised, probably the closest in bang:buck to OG CCA CRAsBlue vido are also incredible
Anyone tried these? Is it endgame?

>>108019573r8never used one of these and have no idea what each thingy does. Took about 2 minutes. Using the Kinera Celest Wyvern pro.
>>108024274what eq software is that even?
>>108024337I'd rather not say since it's embarrassing but oh wellIt's the steelseries sonar app, I just noticed it had an EQ setting and I decided to use it for teh lulz. Like I said, I had no idea what I was doing and did this in 2 minutes. R8 or suggestions would be appreciated.
>>108024274none of it means a goddamn thing. if you are enjoying it, that's it.
>>108024351No worries, was just genuinely curious as had never seen something exactly like that, if you want a suggestion; try using a parametric equalizer, if you're on windows EqualizerAPO, for android use PowerAmp Equalizer or Wavelet
Why the FUCK do IEMs always sound awful in the same tinny, shitty way? I've tried using the largest eartips that fit in my ear for the """perfect seal"""" shit, and I've spent 60-80 bucks on a pair, they've all sounded significantly worse than the shitty apple wired earbuds. I just want them to sound good, I don't know what to do. Throwing bigger earpieces and more money at the problem hasn't fixed it, I dunno what will.
>>108024512you keep buying pos made for troons, take the HBB collab pill and enjoy some midbass heft
>>108024512Have you tried these?
>>108024476thanks for the suggestion anon, will check it out>>108024368That is great, but I was wondering maybe someone knows how to make what I did less random and more professional like. Thank you anon.
>>108024537>I was wondering maybe someone knows how to make what I did less random and more professional like.that also doesn't mean a goddamn thing, anon. I should've said this in my previous post, that you can't let other people dictate what's good for you. if you are actually enjoying the result of messing around with that eq, you're winning. some people force themselves to go through so much crap before they can even hit the play button..it's sickening. you have better things to worry about in life ;)
>>108024533I'll try them.>>108024530I'll try these once I try the earfucker 9000 tips. Bit burnt out on buying new IEMs.

>>108026156I do have good IEMs.
>>108026479Show them.
>>108026501Open your eyes. You're already in the PR2 and Stellaris thread.
I listen to music based on the feeling and texture of the music or even how the music subjectively "tastes" to me. for example, I like a lot of music by snails house because "his music sounds how sour tastes" the noise is an adhd filled noise scape a lot of the time and this extends to a lot of Vocaloid music I listen to and the jazz I like. This is to say that a lot of music I listen to has lots of noise like a lot of noise that mixes together and you can't actually tell one thing apart from another. why is this important to tell you this is because this IEM makes that chaos sound so clean and beautiful that I cannot explain to you the emotion I felt when I heard a song that had been missing its nuance or in other words detail for the first time.these IEMs made me cry like literally cry because for once in my life I felt like I could hear the whole song. the vast majority of my library of music is extremely cheerful but there are others that are not when I listened to the album "Unhappy refrain" by wowaka on these I literally cried I could feel the deep emotions he must have had in mind when he made something so messy and disorienting. it's something personal when the music touches you and really connects with you with something that you really understand firsthand and when I listened to it again I reconnected with the album again immediately I instantly got taken back to when I first was exposed to his music when I was in a deep depression using the Audio Technica m50, not to get too personal and not to just pour out my heart in a random online review. basically, the Stellaris brought me so much closer to some of the music I listen to. would it have happened without the Stellaris I don't know should I have gotten the variations instead of buying 2 iems I will never know but I certainly understand detail now.I honestly find it difficult to articulate how that's something that's so strange sounding that these IEM's are for sure not the best audio equipment I hav
>>108026554Nobody said they're good.

I cannot be the only one whose ear canals become really itchy when wearing IEMs. I clean them properly with a kit and all, but they still get itchy, how the fuck do you fix this? It isn't to the point where they're unusable, they just get itchy frequently, forcing me to scratch it or rub the tip against it hoping it stops itching
At the recommendation of another anon, I purchased some GK Kunten IEMs from 'GK Earphone Store' on AliExpress. I selected the 'No Mic' option. However, they've arrived with no cable. Has anyone else had this happen? As is typical for AliExpress, they want me to return the whole item for a refund and the seller is seemingly unwilling to just send the missing cable. Should I return the item or simply purchase a third-party cable? If so, which one?
I just bought a Moondrop Echo dongle and trying it for the first time the music plays but the vocals are so soft it's nearly inaudible, I can't find anyone else on the internet with this problem. Is think typical chink qc or did I just get a lemon?
>>108028369You got lucky, if you listened to those you would go deaf for sure.
waiting for my pr2 to arrive
Could you elaborate? I'm extremely uninformed when it comes to IEMs (which is why I asked for recommendations), I was simply looking for an alternative to the Sennheiser HD 599 SE, which is too bulky to wear for extended periods.
>>108028507buy a pr2
>>108028369>>108028437>>108028557Sorry, I didn't correctly quote the comment I was replying to above. Could you explain why the GK Kunten IEMs would make me go deaf but the KZ PR2 IEMs would be better option and avoid this?

>>108029175>I think they take EQ better than a single DD.DDs and planars eq differently. and whether or not planars EQ "better" is completely subjective and dependant on what you're trying to accomplish in particular.best example is taming bass bloat: taming 100-300Hz on a DD vs a planar yields different results.

The whole point of a planar is a planar wavefront hitting your ears to mimic speakers' interaction with the outer ear part of your HRTF. There is literally zero point to IEM planars since they do not interact with your ear anatomy in any way. They're also too small to really have a planar wavefront. In every sense IEM planars are just flat DDs but worse in every single way.
>but how are planars worsePlanar IEMs universally have inferior quality control and channel matching compared to even cheap DDs. They have higher distortion and tend to have high amplitude high Q upper treble peaks, a more extreme version of the classic 10-11K DD treble peak. This is responsible for "planar zing" and why some anons say planars make you deaf.
>>108033586>>108033677this is the poorest rant i've read on /iemg/ and that's saying a lot
>>108033433oh I get it now. next you'll tell me to read Poole, right? and don't deflect, nobody mentioned cables. it's too bad you're choosing ignorance, so I accept your concession.>>108033677>They have higher distortionthan DDs? holy fuck now you're actually trolling

>>108033843Considering planar driver design has not evolved in years... yes. Go ahead and prove me wrong.
>>108033843KZ planars are worse than this. S08/MP145 era planars are as good as DDs.
>>108033774>>108033843Headpos law. IEMs are not headphones.
>>108033854>>108033887>>108033911keep trying samefag. this is some low level trolling, even for a Sunday
>>108033774the reasoning behind believing planars are different is the same as the reasoning behind believing cables bring audible differences
>>108033964Still no argument I see.
>>108033964Admit it. You saw that planar headphones have lower distortion than DD headphones and thought IEMs work the same way. You never even checked that $20 DD IEMs in fact beat both.
>>108033427but i like color coordinating my pos and cables because i live a mundane and pointless existence
Are there cheap wireless earbuds with an acceptable sound? I'm not asking for premium sound, I just want all frequencies to be there, and quite flat response if possible, I mean no fatass bass or overly aggressive high.I bought picrel because the comments on aliexpress were all like "they sound really great" etc, but it's unbelievable how bad the sound is... Mid are there but sound as if there was a compressor applied. Low and high frequencies are not lacking, they are just totally cut out, so much that I really thought they were defective or there was some hidden setting somewhere.
>>108033977>cables bring audible differencesyou're the only one who keeps bringing that up and conflating it with knowing a simple truth. you're trolling. >>108033979arguing what? you have a piss poor position, I accepted your concession already.this really is a meme general

>>108034351>concrete proof7Hz Timeless is one pos from goddamn years ago. I keep telling you to try, try again, but you're stuck. in 2019 of all places...damn trannies are dumb
>>108034481Planar drivers have not improved since then.
>>108034481Ask chatgpt how many IEMs use timeless drivers.
>"bro that planar is too old!!!">shills a planar with worse distortion than balanced ass driverso no no no
>>108034511Aaaand that's a wrap.

>>108034511this is 4 revisions old, the PR2 this thread has was released last year
>>108034396that's this general's bread and butter
>>108034805>audio nihilismftfy
>>108034789The difference is they took out the damping so the distortion is even worse.
Brutal day to be a PR2 owner.
>>108028675>>108029418I must be retarded then cause I have so many coins I probably couldve been saving alot of money on stuff I bought recently. I do have the savers thing active as well, but would love to know how you basically got these for free

>can't handle opposing opinions>low emotional control>can't process nuance, handle ambiguity, or hold two ideas at the same time.>instead of understanding complexity, they label people as good or bad, ideas as true or fake, and that's it. >no depth, no flexibility. just a simple world for a simple mind. low-IQ. that's what you get when you let a tranny run this place.
>>108035345If you value your POS that much then go ahead and prove everyone wrong by measuring it yourself.
Today we learned price is inverse to driver quality. Congratulations, Chu2 once again.

if J.E. taught us anything, it's that the probability of one schizo powering all of /iemg/ is very high and plausible
>>108036214but who powers the schizo who powers all of /iemg/?
>>108036214Bro has to switch up every few months as the gear he's shilling gets exposed as utter shit. Its kind of crazy how he hasn't hit anything good yet even out of random chance.
>>108036238we'll be back to pr2 fotm in 2 weeks after 14 days of chu2 spamming

a secret elite cabal of chinese investors and audio titans have managed to infiltrate and influence all circles of audio under our very nose, and trained armies to fight others and themselves to benefit their own gains. we are pawns, manufactured and used to their likingdon't be surprised if you find me deaf and head-dented by next week, i warned you all

>>108035828BAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
>>108036910yeah thats a skill issue
>>108036971nta but know what else is a skill issue? believing planar drivers are mechanically the same as dynamic drivers.
>>108037066true, planars are objectively inferior in iems
>>108037066no, they are worse >>108034511
