>>108756616generic CB1200AU is like $5 and does the same thing
why do you prefer in-ear over headphones?
>>108756714to maintain my immaculate personal appearance mogging 24/7. headphones give you virgin matted hair.
>>108756714sounds more direct. its the IV equivalent of listening
asking this hereanyone here have an Android and use the 'Adapt Sound' function? it does eq based off a sound test, i recommend a dead silent room>>108756714depends where im at, i would rather have something in ear than look like an autist with his tism headpohnes with his crocs, i pad, shorts
any iems that aren't for retards who collect happy meal toys?
>>108756681no peq on that, only fixed bands far as i can tell. ja-11 has shelves and peak filters placable anywhere
>>108756714doesn't fuck up my beautiful hair
>>108756882you might as well get a pair of open back headphones since you wanna act like a fucking elitist
>>108756882fish iem
>>108756849>i would rather have something in ear than look like an autist with his tism headpohnes with his crocs, i pad, shortspeasant
>>108757020nah, this is fine, im taking about the ones who use gaming headphones in public
Thrash metal fans
Budget is 200 buckaroonies. Genres: orchestral, opera, jazz, prog rock. What should I get?
>>108757253not a sound humper but it sounds like you want something top end leaningi recommend the bunnys
>>108756714They sound and look better, have better channel balance and they're more comfortable. Literally the only thing headphones can do that IEMs can't is shake on your head from bass and not even all headphones can do that, trash with velour pads can't no matter how much you EQ.
>>108756882Fox IEM, endgame.
>>108756899>he doesn't know
>>108756849Peqdb listening test and plug the result into any regular EQ. Don't get vendor locked.
>>108757416vendor locked?
>>108756714I still use my over head ones, but I like iem, because they sound better. My comparison is chu2 vs snoy 7506.
>>108757400wtf is f**o's problem?
*Dunu x Koto - Ito*You are an alchemist, spoken in the legend of battling strong currents and obstacles against the upper streams of steep cascading waterfalls. Where many have given up, your persistence successfully leaps over the top of the waterfall and is magically transformed by the gods into a powerful, golden dragon.
Is there a reason why my iems sound better when I increase the treble in EQ? When I try to increase the bass it sounds muddy instead.
I have some "old" Galaxy Buds+they're still working somewhat fine but they started to have some intermittent connection issues with my phoneI'm not really looking for something with top audio quality as these are mostly for use at workBut are the Buds 4 Pro worth it? what I need the most is the seamless switching that these have, I can just tap to connect and then reconnect by just clicking once on my PC, it's not a multipoint connection but I don't need to do the whole pairing thing again
Any EPZ representatives in thread? Can they make shells of two different colors?
>>108760103They can make one shell one color and the other shell a different color, but I don't think they can make one shell out of two colors. If they can the seam is probably going to be ugly. You'll have to ask the seller.
>>108759730IEMs with not enough treble out of the box. Masking the usual IEM problems in the mid treble.Hearing loss.
My blue vidos died and I'm looking for some recommendations on something wireless, can be iem or good fitting buds that won't fly out of my head on bike rides. >Budget: $20-30 would be nice but I have wiggle room>Intended use: outdoor and indoor listening, cabled buds/IEMs are suboptimal due to cycling helmet and the risk of getting yanked off but I can work with it if it's worth the trade off.>Past gear: blue vidos were nice but bassy, did not stay in my ears well though.Lmk if any further info would help narrow it down
>>108760263Im thinking about one red and one blue shell. Or something that would fit faceplates in different colors.
>>108760457That's pretty much IEMs from the last thread.
hows Anker soundcore P31i for 50$ (EU), just want something for my commute
why is epz g10 so good, bros?
grok told me this was a good budget bluetooth iem pair. is grok correct before i pull the trigger?
>>108761527just get em already.
>>108757222If you're using a specific device for music listening it should be better hardware than your phone.

>>108761820i just don’t want to waste my money if they are shit
>>108762712they're shit. you'll look like a goof wearing hearing aids. the BT hooks will have background noise (constant hiss), poor mic quality, etc. kz also lacks any app to give you customization over the various possible features/functions of the bt hooks. the iems are bulky, heavy, poor fitting, and poor sounding.using hook adapters gives you the worst of both worlds, not the best.
>>108762855i need bluetooth for work and i really don’t want to spend $250 on airpods or sonys. trying to maintain a budget. i’ve been using the moondrop pills and the stem separated from the speaker
>>108762881earfun, soundpeats, moondrop, nothing. check scarbir for model names. if your mic quality matters try to find a yt review where they include a sample
>>108762924thanks anon
>>108760067>Buds 4 Pro worth it?They have a fuckton more features at this point that may or may not matter to you. If you have a Samsung phone, it's a natural choice versus other models. >>108760452>something wirelesssee>>108762924
Is it retarded to buy the Thieaudio Hype MK II?
>>108762712you wouldn't know what that means anyway. why are you waiting for someone to put bullshit in your head before making a purchase? just buy them already, there's not one person that can tell you if they're bad for YOU, but you.
>>108763006yeah
>>108757400what does that have to do w the ja-11 tho, not the same chip, those have 10 band peq
>>108756611>the OP's recommended budget IEMs have been the same for 2 years nowIs this it? Has audio been solved forever?
>>108756714I still have a pair of HD599 that I use when PC gayming, nothing beats them in comfort. When listening to my CD rips I use IEM + DAC. It's immersive, better sound stage and better sound altogether.
>>108764189Yes.
>>108764859is that Arcanum?
Cable of my Tanchjim Bunny DSP broke completely but the IEMs themselves are fine, should I get Truthear Gate now? I don't want to get second Bunnies just for the cable. Decent cables aren't really cheaper then a whole new set either.
Xistas, I'm putting my Origin on sale. I have enough of this shitty muddy bass and fit/tip/insertion rng every single time I put them on.
>SpinFit CP145still relevant or obsoleted by W1?
>>108765591Are they that poorly vented or something? Anyway, you get what you pay for(negative returns).
