You don't need anything more expensive than the Truthear Gate.

What's a good iem for a first timer?
$200-300

We're in the money boys
This might be end game, they fit and sound better than etymotics and they're sensitive enough to be driven by a phone with plenty of headroom (xperia 1 IV)
I just finished my treble issue playlist without wanting to reach for the EQ.
I'm going to sit with them for a few weeks before I make up my mind on how they sound but so far very happy.

>>105707376
fake news

>>105707440
How is the fit? I was the anon that said I'd grab the pair on head-fi but they sold before I got to them (75€ shipped, rip). Dont hugely regret it since I'm still loving the ER2SE.

>>105707440
Ordered a pair (+ their er4 copy, just for fun) too. How do you like the fit? They seem to be awfully elongated.

>>105707414
not IEM but those tws are top tier

Going through my hoard of IEMs with an intention of culling it a bit.
This is by far the least comfortable and ergonomic set I own. I can barely fit it, and the second I do find an acceptable position, springy wire immediately yanks them out.
Not a big fan of the sound either, not what I'm used to.

>>105709396
I had a cable like that on ATH-IM02, what an absolute piece of shit.

>>105709123
Obsoleted by fox tws.

>>105709457
And the problem is they have a very deeply recessed connector, so I can't even replace the cable.

>>105709602
Not that I want to, set is getting sold or simply tossed. Don't feel anything positive towards it.

>Gate arrives yesterday
>roll tips

I just pushed it back in and for now it's lasting, but what the fuck WHAT THE FUCK

how up-to-date is the guides in OP

my priority is durability and lasting a long time
im basically 90% deaf with tinnitus in my right ear from shooting guns without hearing protection and my left isnt much better due to working with machinery. my new shartphone doesnt have a 3.5mm so i'm going to randomly pick one of the low tier recommendations, as long as the OP guide isnt more than 1-2 years old, but i would appreciate any insight into what is a particularly durable set.

How to correctly eq the tanchjim 4u ? I really love Them but feel I can get moooore of them

>>105710083
They are all about the same. Get like three pairs of the cheapest shit you can find and be set for a while.
Or here's an even better one: get a type C adapter and a picrel.

>>105710083
it's a rentry page, you can always check the last edited info at the bottom right
it's up-to-date, get any cheap iem since you're deaf anyways, it won't matter

read the eq guide in the op

When are niggas gonna make a zero 2 with a better shell and slightly less subbass?

>>105707987
>>105708255
They sit just a bit shorter than etymotics for me and are just flush enough to be able to sleep on my side with them.
They're working a lot better with the cable over ear and not having them hurt when the cable gets tugged is very appreciated.

>>105711193
Most iems are bass limp why less subbass

>>105711193
I like the original zero better. If they quit making it, are the Tanchjim Bunny or Moondrop Lan my only alternatives?

>>105712109
Tidal works

>>105712087
IEMs that are actually comfortable are going to blow your mind.

>>105712115
i've always ignored tidal because they seem to have a smaller library compared to deezer and because of all the mqa fiasco with their lossless rebrand, though i'm not sure how it is nowadays

Come home, white man.

>>105712127
The EDC Pro is one of the most comfortable IEMs I own, probably the most but it is tied with a few others. Certainly not overall worse than anything else.

why do the wyverns have such a weird fit, they dont quite fit poorly but they dont fit nicely either, kinda kills it for me

>>105711825
I think I'm just going to grab a Hexa after all...

does modern android suck dick or is it the hiby m300 itself? this thing does all kinds of weird shit all on its own without me even touching it.

>>105711825
>[cable] tailored to the tuning style
turdearsisters don't worry. they compensated the darker tuning with SPC cable to brighten up the details, they truly thought of everything...

>>105712646
Hexa gets a treble boost from high impedance so it's not impossible... But the graphs are probably done with the stock cable...

>>105712615
a mix of factors. for "audiophile," players they have to design workarounds for Android SRC to play bit-perfect audio (can lead to some quirks), and/or the manufacturer chooses to alter the OS for their design purposes / intentions (chang can mess things up compared to stock Android).
could for some reason be a defective unit, or you gotta figure out some firmware / update shit.

>>105712699
i'm not an audiopervert, haven't looked at the eq or peq or whatever. i'm new. i bought this thing to replace my 10 year old android phone that i never updated because i mostly used it to play music and read ebooks anyway. i got some audionerd iems too, but the hiby (hiby music player?) unpauses songs when i'm not even touching it and the physical button behaviour is strange too, the power button pauses/unpauses sometimes. i guess i got a retarded brick. i like the size, small consolation. the cheap free case that comes with is crap though, presses adjacent buttons. also the on-screen open apps button doesn't work properly and has to be pressed twice. nobody buy this thing.

>>105712798
sounds like quite a few things, maybe a defective unit. i'd return if you are in window to do so.

>>105712534
the guide is more like an encyclopedia than a guide
it's pretty neat how all of that information is then distilled into a few changes, shows that eq can be complicated or simple

>>105712962

eq guide is wasted in this dump, sad

>>105714507
Other than finding your resonance peak, eq'ing isnt particularly difficult

>>105714302
>listen to it and decide for yourself
because as someone new to iems (but not to audio) i will be unsure if there are similar but significantly better options available, even if i like them. for example, the crinacle zero2s i have seem pretty decent to me, but it's fully possible there's another iem i'd like more, so i thought maybe one of you weirdly aggressive retards would have something interesting to say about the explorers. the balanced armature thing was a useful comment that never gets mentioned in the reviews and is one perfect example of why i asked, despite having already ordered them

don't bother wasting your time in this shithole, everyone (literally everyone, including me) will just waste your time and you don't know enough to discern who's telling the truth, who's shitposting, who's retarded
just follow my advice: read the eq guide, and go elsewhere for advice (probably equally or more retarded than us but at least you won't feel like you wasted time)
and use the link below and search for explorer and you'll get a few impressions
https://4ciemg.github.io/IEMGazette/

>>105714570
Im not the other nigger that says you shouldnt EQ cause you're not a chinese technician or something, but please do say what exactly you are eq'ing to perfection.

>>105714535
WE develop EQ first, then Chinese started making IEMs closer to our EQ and dongles to put our EQ into. It's a symbiotic relationship.

>>105714507

there are many truths that undermine what you think you want / are seeking.
>price is not correlated with sound quality
you enjoyed zero2. nothing intrinsically guarantees explorer will be any better. it may even be worse.

Ive owned my spacetravels for almost a year now, use em pretty much daily. Are there any better tws out there for the money now? It seems that the moca and whatever moondrop put out afterwards wasnt really much of an upgrade for the money you spent on it. Im mainly looking for better audio quality and noise cancelling.

Irrespective of the truth of that statement, a majority or at least a large percentage of the thread does not use PEQ at all in the traditional sense, rather they use the existence of PEQ as a cope for not being able afford more expensive IEMs, while also being too lazy to actually learn how to properly use PEQ. It's not 1DD + EQ, it's 1DD + the idea of EQ.

most anons have never even tried more expensive pos, or good speakers, so how can they speak on them? they can be right about their foundational argument, but they lack the experience and nuance to actually convey important information
can't believe averifag is smarter than 99.9% of retards here, unfathomable

>>105718082
>it's 1DD
no, that would be considered propaganda. different driver types have their place. so do hybrids. you see "ba pos, avoid" parakeeted here constantly, as if a good BA was never invented, but that is just one example of hivemind activity.

>>105718129
different driver types have their place when no eq is involved
driver configurations ~= rough analog eq

>>105718129
If you only care about signal integrity, BAs don't really have a place. They're worse in terms of distortion, sometimes audibly worse, and most other metrics. But there's room for preferences, some people like some level of distortion, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Any IEMs that is stylish, girly, and colorful?

>>105718155
I have more than a handful of pos. they have their own sonic characteristics, despite following certain tuning philosophies and I enjoy them for what they go for on an individual basis and going about what I am listening to according to mood is all I need. granted, if I need to clean up bloat, or clean up bloat for some added sub, I'll aim for that. I feel no need to care about anything else before hitting play

>>105718129
1DD covers the entire audible range with no distortion and a lot of headroom. This is a fact.

>>105718192
celest rue, cutesy beans
>>105718210
sure, but if one is competent enough, eq can recreate these sonic characteristics with any driver
what's important to understand here is that the final acoustic output, and therefore what we hear, can be modified with eq to endless degrees
whether or not someone actually manages to do so is a whole other story

we all hate him dumbass. report posts when they break rules (advertising, extremely low quality, etc.)

For clarification on the EQ guide and its hosting situation, it is under the control of I and the Editor who is in charge of the Gazette. We have discussed in length about each person's role and permissions, and we both have access to the Github account. All changes made to the EQ guide have been reviewed by myself.

The final section of the EQ guide (Myths & Misconceptions) has been completed. While it is not the most in-depth, it should suffice for now; if necessary, I plan on adding more demonstrations and details. Both the Additional Tools and Measurement Databases pages have also been updated.

The guide is always getting small updates and refinement as new preference targets are created, and new methods become available for easier EQ. Other case studies with IEMs in various contexts will also be added.

This project has been started since late 2023, and after 2 years of on and off work, it now contains most of what I wanted to include. There is a high probability that this is going to be the last announcement/update post I will officially do; I am often in this thread, but I haven not, and will not post much.

Other projects are in the works.

>>105718234
>no distortion
if 1DD has no distortion and all the headroom, why are some of the best pos still hybrids?
>1DD covers the entire audible range
covering the spectrum isn't the same as accurately reproducing well-mixed audio. covering means nothing if resolution, dynamics, or layering suffer.

Its one unique point is that the manufacturer offers custom faceplates. But the real reason why its relevant is the same for every shitty pos still talked about in this thread - there's a dedicated autist here who shills it. See: EDC Pro, CCA CRA.

I bought Chu 2 and one of the earphones died even after replacing filter

I bought simgot Ew 200, right side is starting to die

What item can I buy that won't die after 2 months of use? I think both died because of sweat and heat

>>105718773
What you think is inherent driver performance is actually just FR so you absolutely can EQ it.

>>105719944
Wait wtf, can I acquire this custom faceplate through the aliexpress vendor? I never heard of it before

>>105720001
>Wait wtf, can I acquire this custom faceplate through the aliexpress vendor?
Yes.

>>105719945
both of these pos have metal shell. you could try plastic or resin, see if it will last longer. try wanker or epz q1 pro

>>105720026
or based EDC Pro

>>105713987
No, it's not pseudo idiocy, it's absolutely genuine one.

>>105714888
This particular color (looks almost the same as Artti T10) is so bad. Reminds me of the raw nylon.

>>105720139
I mean that frequency response is kinda ass. Where my hype 4 niggas at?

>>105715633
I asked this question several times in different places, did some digging and the only conclusion I came to is that there's nothing that would be a worthwhile upgrade over space travels until Sony WF1000XM3/4/5.

I ordered TANCHJIM ORIGIN for $200 from Aliexpress.

>>105720178
Why did it suddenly drop in price? Are they pulling a KZ driver switcharoo?

>>105717198
Expect garbage ANC, that's for sure.

>>105713722
fun fact: ER4P is almost the same pos as ER3SE

why is epz g10 so good, bros?

>>105718713
Maybe try this: https://www.speakerranking.com/
Or better yet, don't at all.

new moondrop TWS is dropping soon

>>105720186
No idea, is it $200 for the US as well?

I decided to try wireless headphones for once and fucking hell every single one is irredeemable trash mogged by even KZ, seems like we're stuck with IEMs forever. The "best" one was B&W PX8 but I would never use those even for free.

>>105720883
This is pretty much a thieaudio hype 4, I been eq'ing to this all this time and didnt jerk off my ego over it

>>105721074
It's better because no BAs.

>>105720192
>muh ANC
who fucking cares about ANC, i don't use it cause the wifey thinks i'm ignoring her purposefully when she calls for me

>>105717198
What does this gif supposed to mean?

>>105721230
ANC wouldn't interfere with voices in your head.

>>105721362
Autism noise cancellation actually does interfere with that.

>>105720656
I'm interested. My og Moondrops started acting up, and I don't need much more than that.

>>105718850
Scratch out the fucking brand name, remove it somehow.

Make a custom case even, whatever you have to

>>105721860
Wtf I love iBasso now

>>105718444
Wow, you're telling me the EQ guide has been worked on for 2 years and it's still this fucking bad horrifically written and genuinely unusable for the majority of people?

Maybe you retards should stop focusing on adding more and more arbitrary sections and contributing more and more technobabble bullshit and instead focus on actually making it readable and useful from the perspective of a novice.

Absolute garbage. Not even going to give any details. Grab a set if you want to indoctrinate randos on how good vs bad headphones sound.

>>105722155
>non-removable cable
nah thx

>>105722219
I assure you it's the least of its problems.

>>105721860
I wouldn't be even bothered to file the name off some chink brand when the thing looks like a happy meal toy. Fuck iBasso as it's stupid fucking name, and fuck them for making a dongle that btfo's everything else

>>105722258
That's some petty autism (derogatory).

>>105722258
I should buy an iBasso dac to pair it with my iLouds, listening to the absolute best tunes in the iTunes store.

I got $150
Which waifu should i get? Also is the shanling m0 actually good?

>>105722348
This and what is the best looking tws/pos right now?

>>105722305
I'm usually the first propagandist to break the hifi-hymen of my friends when I inevitably make them listen to my stuff. How I'm supposed to tell them I own an "iBasso" with a straight face is beyond me
>>105722346
The i's cancel out, something to do with pemdas

>>105722258
Is it really that good?
I was going to get the tanchjimmies luna.. maybe this ibasso thing is the better option?

It's a bit hard to describe its qualities without sounding like a schizoid. Least "veiled" is how I'd put it, AB'ing the DC Elite with another amp is like hearing the difference between FLAC and MP3

All in one?
kef lsx ii
Or an edifier 1700bt if you're on a tight budget
There is seriously very little worth looking at between the price range of these two, maybe the SVS prime wireless pro if it's on sale and not overpriced in your region.
You're probably going to be far better off with normal speakers and a wireless receiver like a WiiM or MiniDSP flex

>shanling m0 actually good?
mini players like it, ap80 pro-x, etc. have their pros and cons. people think they want a mini player, then commonly complain the touch screen is too small, it doesn't respond quickly, etc. the m0 specifically lacks physical controls for back/playpause/skip, which is often a big reason to buy a pmp.
there is a new contender, Tempotec V1. pre-sale deal recently ended.

>>105720174
Thanks

>can't find Dekoni M foam bits in the UK
>don't want the sample pack only Mediums
What do I do? I got some from AliExpress for like £2 and they were awful.
What can I get for KZ iems?

>>105723566
the teal blue ones from tinhifi

>>105723566
tripowin spiral groove is much better than your typical freebie £2 foam

is the eq guide the ultimate litmus test for endgame?

>>105723478
I genuinely think that reasons you have listed are the same reasons that made Echo Mini such a big hit. Turns out if you ditch the postal stamp sized touch screen, replace it with distinct physical buttons, put in the light plastic case and sell for 50 bucks, people will buy and enjoy it.
It does it's own fair share of problems (how the fuck you make a player in 2025 without gapless playback is beyond me), but as a modern ipod shuffle it works beautifully.

>>105723621
The endgame is in the faceplate.

you can assign wheel shortcuts for these

>>105723641
>>105723618
I like these spiral ones.
>>105723580
Thank you.

>>105719911
No it's not, read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response, impulse in this context refers to the Dirac delta function, which a swept sine is obviously not. However, the IR can be *calculated* from such a swept sine measurement, which is explained in that paper. And then, as you said, the FR can be calculated from the IR.

>>105723628
Scrolling through your library on this thing is a fucking nightmare though unfortunately.

when did you realize that harman was made for people with hearing loss?

>>105709868
Unsurprisingly, it happened AGAIN.

>>105724102
hearing loss is the knowles target
harman is for female poison lovers aka trannies

>turdea-
post hand, brownie

>>105724049
The point is FR is not directly measured, it's calculated. But yeah there should be a distinction between the impulse and the impulse response. There are impulses you can calculate the FR from but not the IR.

>>105724168
who are you talking to chuddie

>P50 1:1 specs, shell, tuning, no hype
>daybreak, omg!! meta!! gotta buy it!
why is the iem scene so retarded?

>>105719776
As stated by anon, the sweep will measure the IR, which is then used to find the FR.
>>105719899
From what I know, it is comfortable.
>>105722118
If people want a quick and easy guide, the one provided on squig.link will do the job. It is not my job to cater to everyone's needs and attention spans.
For example, there are anons discussing the difference between IR and an impulse, and others that do not know what a sine wave is. To cater to both of you is an impossible task.

It is, pure cancer. That's why I call it modern shuffle, because that's the best way to use it: put it on the shuffle and let chance decide what you are listening to today. That's how I do it, but I still would appreciate a feature where the longer you hold the scroll button, the faster it scrolls.
