>>108965556based headphone chad
>>108965556I own one pair of IEMs and a pair of headphones. IEMs when on the go, headphones at home. Is it that bad, doc?
Can you guys suggest any "ear hooks" for flathead buds? My RY4S never sits right in my ear, I think the cable is too heavy but so is the shell. And it's a massive PITA To find MMCX cables with a mic for cheap.
for me it's in ear headphones
>>108965618please stop? this makes me uncomfortable
>>108965567That's it? You're only on the go and at home state?
Why choose Apple Music over something else?
>>108964674Thanks for the suggestions and clarifications, anon. I've seen people universally praising the Top Pro's treble as a whole for being very refined and effortlessly detailed without being harsh nor sibilant, which is something i’m looking for in a pair of iems.
>>108965932Yes. Do I need IEMs depending on where I go too? In that case, I was really looking for an excuse to buy more. I'm gonna need a pair for the shitter, a pair for driving, a pair for working, a pair for eating lunch, a pair for vacation, etc.
>>108966004because I pay for YT Premium family and I can use YT Music with ease. I'm too deep into google. I'm so fucked.
can i eat pudding ? :3
>>108960732it's the mini assanus, ur silly!
>>108966130>universally praising the Top Pro's treble as a wholewe have owners of it as well as people who have demo'd it. iirc one owner "downgraded," to tea pro because he felt tea pro sounded better, period.i am someone who has demo'd it and does not share such glorifying opinions. i find it very middling for the price, with overemphasized, unnatural highs that simultaneously lack micro detail retrieval. i believe TOTLzo did not think very highly of top pro either.stop falling for shill-of-the-month fluff pieces.if you can order from a place with good return policy, then use that to demo it.

Are you deaf yet?
how are the CVJ X R2E3 Mermaid2 compared to the Nozomi's?
>>108967003Thanks for the input, anon. When i said "universally praised", i tried to meant that the general consensus about it appears to be very positive .. maybe a bad choice of words on my part. I can see some people finding the treble underwhelming, but they seem to be a minority. I'lll take your suggestion and try to demo it before buying. And i don't see this pair being the “shill-of-the-month”, since it has been around for a year now. Cheers!

wtf i just used some shitty ass bluetooth headphones my schizophrenic uncle gave me a long time ago and they're awesomethey mustve cost like $5, some brand called 2BOOM, and they're too small and tight but that means it stays on my head when i run/jump... kinda crazy, and the wireslessness... i slept on this for so long and only decided to try after seeing a qt jogging with headphones on and was like, "damn how she doin that?" crazy stuff, i downloaded youtube music and was listening to shit off that
