How long is Chinese New Year 2026?about 15 daysWhen is Lunar New Year? In 2026, Lunar New Year falls on Tuesday, 17 February. Many celebrations begin on the evening of 16 February (New Year's Eve). Traditionally, festivities run for about 15 days and culminate in the Lantern Festival, though the length of public holidays varies by country and region

Looking for a small Spotify capable android device for music in the gym or driving. I was told to come here for recommendations in /csg/.Right now I'm looking at the Innioasis g5, but if you guys know any devices that are cheaper than it ($70 USD) that work well for Spotify and local files with Bluetooth I'd love to save a little cash. I looked into the Famue PA03, but seems too good to be true for only $30. I'm totally fine to go for the G5, but I figured I'd ask here first. And no, I don't want to use a phone. If you're older than 25 you know what I'm talking about.

>>108165650Frequency Response (10:58): This is presented as the most important measurement for perceived sound quality.Unlike frequency range (what a headphone can play), frequency response shows how loud a headphone plays different frequencies relative to each other (11:31).It's represented as a "squiggly line" typically from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, showing the balance of bass, mid-range, and treble (11:40).Mark states that frequency response is responsible for 90-99% of perceived sound quality differences between headphones (13:13).While there are "one-size-fits-all" targets like the Harmon target, individual anatomy and preferences mean that a "perfect" frequency response isn't universal, leading to the diverse nature of the audio hobby (14:39).In conclusion, while sound quality has various measurable aspects, Mark asserts that frequency response is the primary determinant of perceived sound quality that truly differentiates headphones in the market.EQ won

Anonymous Thu 05 Feb 2026 12:36:40 No.108068627ViewReasons 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.>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.EQ guide vindicated.Autoeq, squig, owliophile, sharur, graphic EQ users annihilated.

That's why deafzo hates Harman and rejects science.

Hey guys I was in here wanting to buy some subtonic storm, studied and realized all this stuff is snake oil. My use case is super limited, by hearing is likely super limited and everything is so good enough that all your really hearing is the subjective choices of the headphone maker.I don't even want fidelity who cares about what was intended I want to hear what I want to hear and what sounds good to me. I would love if there's some type of headphone that's massively modular which allows me to try out different sound profiles beyond things that aren't covered by changing the EQBut I just don't understand like why are people spending so much money if there's no objective improvement is there something I'm missing here
>>10816751990% of people just buy it to flex on the poors, $5K to them is like a night out. 5% of people have more money than sense, they buy it because they listened to it and it sounded good to them, and they didn't bother learning about FR or EQ or psychoacoustics. The final 5% are true believers, snake oil cultists.
>>108167519>why are people spending so much money if there's no objective improvement.it's just cope. most consumers can't wrap their heads around diminished returns or marginal gains.
>>108167519Yes we know Crinacle got it right.

Just used an apple dongle for Uapp because people here told me it would be better than using my Cayin Ru6. The performance was ten folds worse, not even close to comparable, so much that it has made me very suspicious if people here actually own the things they claim to use?

>>108170804How did they derive over a 5db boost from 6khz-10khz on a BK5128 vs the human ear?With almost every single shallow insertion POS I indeed hear a 6khz resonance peak, not a dip as Harman would suggest. Where the hell are they getting this idea that iems need to boost the mid treble like this to compensate for some nonexistent human dip?

Like listener said he doesn't hear any peak with lumen, and I don't hear any annoying peak with ER2 because I can insert it very deep. Just stop using cheap chink shit.
>>108179524The only way to remove a peak is to align it with a dip. No magic plastic can do it. If you don't hear a peak that means someone with non-twink ears hears a peak and a dip. And you're talking about just 1 moving peak. With shallow insertion there can be 3. >I can insert it very deepEar rape.
Salnotes zero 2 or waner 2? Just looking for a thin 1dd iem I can wear outside instead of the bulky multidriver ones I have at home. Also, anyone know why this store won't ship the non-mic gates to usa?
>>108180876get tanchim one with dsp and you're good to go
>>108180890The bunny? Every store is overpriced on them right now, which is why I'm passing them up. Usually love tanch stuff too, using Kara at home.
This is why I just buy whatever has the cutest anime girls on.
>>108180925Fox cable makes a difference.
>>108180905not bunny but Tanchjim One, they look like this
>>108180995tanchjim one has been discontinued, so it depends on whether the seller has some units left in stock
>>108180876Wankers are kinda bulky for me, zeros are better. Gate and ew100 are also small and good.
>>108180995What's the difference between this and the zero ultima?
>>108181678Non-detachable cable.
>>108181663you can still buy it from aliexpress, not official seller but regardless
>>108180959>M4Use case?
Remember to buy a $5 shitbud and PEQ it to perfection.
>>108182433Mic for ERP with discord kittens.
>>108182408maybe in your country, i can't find it anymore
>>108182491>Mic for ERPwdym
>>108182516yeah, most likely, I'm from a CIS country
>>108182433To replace my speaker crossover, it's too ghetto. Minidsp flex is too expensive for what it offers. I'll also try building a streamer out of it using a raspberry and Scream protocol. SWYH is awful, Scream creates a virtual sound card.

Bought Gate. Only mic version was on sale. What cable do i replace it with? Is zonie still the default "good" one?
>>108184451The cable is the only good thing about gate, you fucked up.
>>108184488Ah fuck.
>>108183394they're probably called something like a "bullet" or "gun" since they have "rifling"
>>108183394Tennmak turbo.>>108184513Shut the fuck up clanker.
>>108182542Eslzo...
>>108183394Where can I find this big ass case for tips
>>108176633you should buy it to improve your collection!
>>108164604and your brain lost
>>108176917your phone
>>108185968Thank you. I have a size M that are a bit small but didn't remember where they're from. They're quite unique in how short they are and how they have no retaining lip, so the nozzle can pass straight through the bore. Do you know of other tips like this?
>>108187401They're the shortest stem tips I know. Only tws tips get as short. Maybe someone else knows.
>>108176931Imagine being so deaf you need a brick dongle.
so i got a HIBY R1 and I plugged my IEMs in the 3.5mm jackfor some songs I hear for the first time that some instruments only play from a specific iem (left or right), the same file playing on my mac or iphone (via jack or usb c dongle) doesn't play like that is the R1 doing something more "precise" or wrong? it feels weird
>>108187945>my mac or iphone
>>108188028macbook pro has a better DAC than any chink garbage or tube crap ur using
>>108188039Shut up ifaggot.
>>108186502you print it or send the .stl for a print farm in your local area or aliexpress https://www.printables.com/model/901472-iem-tip-case/files
>>108188039no, chink is betterhttps://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/test-of-cirrus-hump-distortion-of-apple-macbook-air-audio-output.63349/
>>108188130Thx
should i stop buying pos? i only ever really use three pairs.
>>108189454Until it's only one pair there's still room for improvement.
>>108165742Genuine question, what is saving wednesday? I don't live in the US (yet)
>>108189633If you're a beaner you're better off amassing coins and using them on every aliexpress discount event
>>108164426Why does the most recommended cheap IEM only have one or two reviews on amazon? Feels like a scam.
>>108190095It is a scam. It sounds worse than 6 year old pos.
>>108190112So what's a good IEM I can get on amazon if I just want to try them out? I've only used headphones and just want to see what they are like.
>>108190121Truthear gate
>>108190112if you're judging based off graphs alone, you made a category error
>>108190153I'm not so don't worry.
>>108190095You can only get the real version(custom) from aliexpress.
>>108190112Why? The Kanas Pro looks worse, and it was $180, which seems a little retarded of a comparison
>>108190362Its also 6 years old. 6 years of advancements just to end up with something worse.
>>108190362The G10 is pure Shartman shout so unless you have alien anatomy that for some reason has a massive naturally occurring 6khz dip? it’s going to be bright and very shouty.
>>108190397>end up with something worseElaborate. Your argument seems very weak.

>>108190398Lurk more.
>>108190438The absolute state of audio "science". Cable believers aren't looking so bad now.
>>108190512>No rebuttal. Harman won.
>>108190526The rebuttal, if it wasn't obvious, is that you're deaf.
>>108190542*blocks your path*
>>108190578Wasn't this guy outed for being a delusional Trump obsessed freak?
>>108164426Which DAP/PMP to get if I'm a hipster fag that just wants a neat dedicated audio device and am not autistic about sound quality?
>>108190757Hiby M300
>>108190438Unless 99% of the human population are some kind of mutants…Harman’s “research” is the exact OPPOSITE of actual preference. Basically every single target curve from etymotic to JM-1 to every reviewer’s own preference curve shows a dip of around 5db in the 5-6khz region when compared to Harman.
Hey anons, I'm extremely new and ignorant with this stuffI bought a set of Moondrop CHU II DSPs, alongside this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFM7CJ19 so I could use it via audio jack rather then the default USB C cable the IEMs come withI like how they sound that way, which is great, but the cable is a little too short. The amazon listing has a longer cable size option, which I went ahead and ordered, but it just arrived and the pins that connect to the actual earpieces are too receded/short to connectDoes anybody know of another 3.5mm audio jack IEM cable I can use with the CHU II's that has a cable length longer then 1.2m?
>>108190112Outdated.
>>108190617>Trump obsessed freakwhich liberal fucks are.
>>108191033Given that we have already established shartman is for deaf people, this ain't a good look
>>108191031Personally I'd get a dongle and extend via USB instead. Unless you already have a good DAC.
Why buy anything else?
>>108191472The jeet mind just can't comprehend.
>>108191139I'm specifically wanting to use the audio jack port here, both because I need the USB ports for other things, and also because the sound is different when connected over USB and I think it sounds worse that way
>>108191472cuz we need to support cringy!
