i want to buy a meme chi fi iem for as cheap as possiblei do not care about sound quality, just that it has maximal cringe or goofy aura
Anyone got experience with 1MORE? I really like the aesthetic of these but the price is pretty hefty and I can't find too much reliable information on it. I want new buds for my iPod Classic. Any good recs to go with that if these are shit?https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSJV5B9
>>109390789reminder that FR is all that matters and can be EQ'd.good day anons !
Any rec for a 2 pins cable that you KNOW is light pls ? I like the tripowin, but the weight of the metal piece is really straining on my ears with time, so I'm looking for something as good but without a litteral sinker on the line.
>>109392007There is many bullet style iems on AliExpress, some with detachable 2pin cable because I think it's weak point of wired audio. Start with typing Moondrop quarks or bullet style iem there and u will find something interesting
>>109392306What u can do is buy 5usd shitbuds on AliExpress, cables are pretty shit but they are light so it can be sourced from them. More expensive shit is usually on thicker side because as u know, thickness is premium
drinking cold beer, listening to music

>Managed to drop my TWS in the toilet>After I peed, of courseI have no reaction face pic suiting enough to attach to my post. Let's just say they're ruined, and not just with water. I'm in the market for a new pair. The Moondrop pudding caught my eyes, I was already in the market for a better battery life, it should fit the bill. Also cheap enough as these things never last long with me. Worse than cable ones, if that was possible. How's the audio leak with the Pudding? I don't want everyone in the office to hear my kawaii uguuu music. I find TWS to be severely lacking in that area, from what I could hear from other people using them.
>>109393422Wouldn't have happened to a wired IEM.
>>109391967>maximal cringeeverything other than storm
>>109393562>BA bassNow that's cringe.

>>109393422pudding seals well, adn you can use any eartips to get a good fit and insertion depth

Has anyone made wired earbuds with active noise cancelling?

>>109394962Bose QuietComfort 20 is quite popular among cs2 pro players
I don't really know anything about audio but I have sennheiser cx 300 earbuds.Would any iems basically be an upgrade from these? Even like the super cheap ones recommended in the OP?I guess my general use case would be for gaming and voice comms.
>>109395337pretty much any well regarded IEM (starting from $1 EDC pro) will be an upgrade over shit like cx 300
Never tried IEMs before. Are the Moondrop Chu II good? I like my DT 770s but I'm getting tired of wearing headphones all day.
>>109395441You cen start with any cheap AliExpress shitbud like GK kunten if chu 2 is too expensive for you. They will do, wearing IEM is bit different sensation because pressure point are in you ears, sometimes people dont like that sensation. But yeah, chu 2 or any other random 1 dynamic driver chink iem will be good place to try it. Usually multi driver iems are larger. Usually iems with wanting holes are more comfortable but offers less sound isolation. Usually silicon tips are easier to wear for long time than memory foam tips. Usually it's better not to use that shit after showers or with wet ears because of ear infections and killing drivers
>>109394751Techs are different pal
