>>724924834I feel ya, but i love open backs
>>724924834better soundstage and imaging for gaming.really the only thing headphones are good for. speakers are better for everything else.
>>724924834You forgot>earwax impaction
>>724924834because /comfy/ is peak. audio quality barely matters compared to that.
>>724924834I use speakers.
>>724925432yeah, im not literally shoving things into my ear canal and then falling asleep with them in and waking up with sore ears and caked cilia
>>724924834If they're so good, why don't you recommend one?
>>724925432Just use a syringe (without a needle lol) to rinse your ears once every day, it's good hygiene even if you don't use IEMs
>>724924834>Sub 50 Ohm>GoodThis shit is definitely not studio quality.
>>724925647Moondrop Lan or Fiio FH1s for the budget $40-60 range, these have pretty balanced curves and you can listen to both classical music and heavy metal.
>>724926025Thanks, GPT.
>>724925939Most people aren't gonna bother with an amplifier or a dedicated sound card
>>724926205You call yourself an Audiophile?
>>724925325I love these little niggas like you wouldn't believe
>>724924834enter
>poorfags cant afford speakers and have to play with your little headphone toysKEK
>>724925325For me, it's R70Xs.
>>724926314>>724926364Those are cool when you live alone
>>724926314Do people really play their hentai videos on speakers?>KIYAAAAA ONI-CHAN SOKO WA DAME DESUMy neighbors would call the cops on me probably.
my headset costs less and has a mic
>>724926025>classical music and heavy metaWhat is this /g/?Any recommendation for IEMs with a microphone for gaming?
>>724926364I hope your room-mate never does the dishes. You get what you fucking deserve.
>>724926594Yeah, but can it play bass heavy music like e.g.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlCQP4GnpXkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_aFSNB8E5YWith IEMs it's like there's a boombox inside your skull, the immersion is insane
>>724926849I really want to try it out and see for myself, but I also don't want my ears to hurt. Headphones have been a comfortable experience, and shoving something in my ear comes with its own set of complications.Once, I slept with my earbuds on while listening to an audiobook and my head hurt. The volume wasn't even that loud.
>>724926282i have used these ever since the massdrop. replaced the pads and the cord. never been dissatisfied
>>724926728My recommendation is to buy the ones you like and then a cable with a mic. It works perfectly fine even if it's not sticking agains your mouth
>>724924834*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* No *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* I don't have tinnitus. *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* Why do you ask? *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
>>724926364>the preference of audio is based on costwhat? these things can cost several hundred dollars genuinely what the fuck are you even talking about.everything i read on the internet makes me upset because its just fucking retarded cunts just saying anything
>>724928227tbf, a pair of $50 IEMs can sound better than a $200 headsetbut ofc if you're a retarded hipster faggot then then you can drop more than a grand on a pair, really the sky is the limit like with most other things, there's always a premium segment
>>724924834ok but they start to hurt after being in my ears for 1 hourmaybe i got small ass ear canals but i dont think im shoving them way too deep inside, otherwise they dont stay in
>>724924834I seem to produce too much earwax even though I clean the FUCK out of my ears all the time. I want to buy some AirPods but covering them in wax would suck.How do you bros who use iems or in ear devices deal with the earwax?
>>724929204i don't produce much so it isn't a problem for me, sorry
I am content with my IEMs + walkman combo.
>>724929006try different ear tips, like spinfit or memory foam, non-shit IEMs come with all these for free
>>724926364Guaranteed this fag is using Logitech speakers or some shit.
>>724925593my father and brother are both otorhinolaryngologists.literally not a problem for me
>>724924834I've been rocking a z407and I gotta say, it's better than most headphones and in ears I've had.
>>724929884>your GPU revs upnothing personnel, kid
>>724924834>*solos your gay ass gaming $1999 headphones for $5*I kneel to chinaman
>>724926282Is the build quality better than HD599? Something constantly creaks or clicks in those.
>>724924834I returned a pair of $300 IEMs cause I wasn't impressed with the sound at all, and I'd rather not have to insert shit into my ears. Much happier using speakers and headphones + amp.>>724929884lol this is some cheapo shit you buy your kid to go with their first PC. You are not getting better than headphone sound with a $120 proprietary computer speaker + sub set my man I promise you that
>>724930673Then you're stupid and wrong.
Plug your ears with your fingers, that's how it feels. It feels like you're underwater, like you're locked inside your skull with the music, and every sound your body makes is amplified.
>>724924834Because I don't like to plug my holes.
>>724929204Don't forget, asians got dry earwax, that's why IEMs are so popular with them.
>>724926025>$40-60That's too expensive, it costs the same as a surround wireless gaming headset.
>>724931137Lucky fuckers. How do white people use AirPods then? Those things gotta be covered in wax, no?
>>724930673>I wasn't impressed with the sound at allThey sound the same as generic earphones if there's no seal. You have to try different ear tips (there's usually like a dozen in the box) until one of them fits your ear canals perfectly and creates an air tight seal, and that point you'll go "wtf, I wish I knew about this amazing technology much sooner".Here's a seal test. Properly seated IEMs should be able to hear the 30hz range perfectly. Headset users can also try this test for fun and be sad that their gear has horrible range.https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/
>>724931313Yes. I wash my ears every morning and still forced to brush my pods.
>>724924834I liked these in HS, were they any good or was I a retard (I am still a retard)>Sony MDR-J10
>>724931373Well shit I guess I'll end up buying some and just deal with it. Which version do you have anon? I don't think I'll get pros - so probably AirPods 4 but idk if the noise cancellation is worth extra money.
>>724924834IEMs are gross as shit. I prefer over-ear closed backs.
>>724931313Just literally rinse your ears with water. It's completely safe. Then, when you get out of the shower use q-tips to get rid of any remaining wax.I live in a colder country and can't be bothered showering every day, so I just syringe my ears for the same effect.
>>724931342I can hear everything between 1hz and ~15000hz, you sure your test is working as intended?
>>724931545I do exactly this and I still end up with wax stuck in pic related
>>724924834I own a pair of IEMs and other high quality over ear headphones and I can with absolute assuredness say that audiophiles are some of the most pretentious faggots on the planet just short of hipsters jerking themselves off over self made wine and beer
>>724931548What equipment are you using?
>>724929204get an openear then, the newer models sound quite good despite lacking isolation
>>724931647Cheap gaming headset
>>724931635What's the point you're trying to make? You bought a lot of expensive sound equipment but people shouldn't care about this stuff? You're kinda contradicting yourself.I'm not rich, I just think for the budget of $50-100, IEMs are a much better choice due to all the reasons stated in the OP.
>>724924834Just use whatever is the most comfortable for you which in my case is >>724931513
>>724931795But are you actually hearing the bass or it's just your headset cracking? Adult humans can't hear below 20hz very well if at all.
>>724924834Using a headset all day was fucking my ears and hearing, none of that happens with IEMs.
I fucked my hearing and hear nice ringing in my 30s now.Reason: All encapsling 3d headsets for gaming...Now people shove the bass directly into their ear canal. wtf
>>724931956I can hear it, it's pretty low on volume, but I can hear it.>Adult humans can't hear below 20hz very well if at all.If your site is working correctly, I highly doubt this.
>>724932038It's unironically the meta in Counter-Strike, you can hear people reloading their guns through walls.>>724932063>I can hear it, it's pretty low on volume, but I can hear it.Well that sounds about right for a headset. The 30Hz is pretty loud with IEMs.
>>724932170I'm talking about 1hz, not 30. 30 is fine.
>>724924834I would like one, but I have to wear protective earplugs all day long so headphones just feel more comfortable
>>724925938absolutely terrible advicedont do this
>>724924834Cute bug
>>724934037Her skin is great, must be so soft.
>>724933986explain or piss off90% of the water will just leak out right away, and the rest will dry out in a few minutes, what can be bad about this? use warm water obviously
>>724934927it doesn't work well to actually clean the ears of actual impacted cerumen and can promote infection
>>724929813custom tips aside, what about the ones in the OP where they cradle in your ear instead of hanging out like generic earbuds? are they any more comfortable or just a design choice?
>>724924834I tried one but it doesn't sound much betterYou should just use a nice comfy wired headphone at home and wireless earbuds when you're on the moveThat's the best combo
>>724935892This is the one I use during summer.
>>724935843IEMs (in ear monitors) all use that design. The point is you insert them directly into your ear canal, deeper than a regular earphone, and you create an air tight seal making it possible to hear some fucking sick bass. They were originally invented for musicians to use on stage so that they can actually hear wtf they're playing because this design isolates the sounds.
I already sleep with ear plugs so I don't want to plug my ears all daybut I use IEMs for VR
>>724935892>I tried one but it doesn't sound much betterThat was me when I bought one and thought I just wasted $50 on hipster garbage. But then I swapped the tips to match my canals and it blew me the fuck away. TL;DR the seal is extremely important, it's the whole reason why this thing works.
>>724929204Peroxide + q-tips. Pour some in, let it bubble for about 10 minutes, then insert a q-tip in and, gently pressing it against your ear canal walls, rotate the tip. It will gather all the earwax without pushing it deeper. I had a huge blockage in my right ear, which was so bad it would trap water after showering. This helped melt and extract it completely, I even bought that probe thing with a camera to see if it was gone because I couldn't believe it at first.Besides, this procedure feels quite nice once you get used to it, enough to make you cum. Although I avoid this out of fear of overstimulating myself and accidentally rupturing the eardrums.
>>724936653I don't think that's good for your ear
