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.
>>105707440How 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.
>>105707440Ordered a pair (+ their er4 copy, just for fun) too. How do you like the fit? They seem to be awfully elongated.
>>105707414not 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.
>>105709396I had a cable like that on ATH-IM02, what an absolute piece of shit.
>>105709123Obsoleted by fox tws.
>>105709457And the problem is they have a very deeply recessed connector, so I can't even replace the cable.
>>105709602Not that I want to, set is getting sold or simply tossed. Don't feel anything positive towards it.

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.

>>105707987>>105708255They 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.

>>105711825I 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 styleturdearsisters don't worry. they compensated the darker tuning with SPC cable to brighten up the details, they truly thought of everything...
>>105712646Hexa gets a treble boost from high impedance so it's not impossible... But the graphs are probably done with the stock cable...
>>105712615a 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.
>>105712699i'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.
>>105712798sounds like quite a few things, maybe a defective unit. i'd return if you are in window to do so.
>>105712534the 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

>>105718129different driver types have their place when no eq is involved
driver configurations ~= rough analog eq
>>105718129If 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?
>>105718155I 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

>>105718192celest rue, cutesy beans
>>105718210sure, but if one is competent enough, eq can recreate these sonic characteristics with any driver

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.

new moondrop TWS is dropping soon
>>105720186No 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.

>>105720883This is pretty much a thieaudio hype 4, I been eq'ing to this all this time and didnt jerk off my ego over it
>>105721074It's better because no BAs.
>>105720192>muh ANCwho fucking cares about ANC, i don't use it cause the wifey thinks i'm ignoring her purposefully when she calls for me
>>105717198What does this gif supposed to mean?
>>105721230ANC wouldn't interfere with voices in your head.
>>105721362Autism noise cancellation actually does interfere with that.
>>105720656I'm interested. My og Moondrops started acting up, and I don't need much more than that.
>>105718850Scratch out the fucking brand name, remove it somehow.
Make a custom case even, whatever you have to
>>105721860Wtf I love iBasso now
>>105718444Wow, 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 cablenah thx
>>105722219I assure you it's the least of its problems.
>>105721860I 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
>>105722258That's some petty autism (derogatory).
>>105722258I 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?
>>105722348This and what is the best looking tws/pos right now?
>>105722305I'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
>>105722346The i's cancel out, something to do with pemdas
>>105722258Is it really that good?
I was going to get the tanchjimmies luna.. maybe this ibasso thing is the better option?
>>105718713https://www.rtings.com/speaker
>>105722434It'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
>>105722497Fucking scizho
>>105718713All 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

>>105723243>chinkshit>western technology
>>105722348>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.

>>105723478I 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.
>>105723621The endgame is in the faceplate.

can also look at the names here, see if something is cheap and available from amazon or w/e
>>105723478>the m0 specifically lacks physical controls for back/playpause/skipyou can assign wheel shortcuts for these
>>105723641>>105723618I like these spiral ones.
>>105723580Thank you.
>>105719911No 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.
>>105723628Scrolling through your library on this thing is a fucking nightmare though unfortunately.

>turdea-
post hand, brownie
>>105724049The 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.

>daybreak, omg!! meta!! gotta buy it!
why is the iem scene so retarded?
>>105719776As stated by anon, the sweep will measure the IR, which is then used to find the FR.
>>105719899From what I know, it is comfortable.
>>105722118If 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.

Did the Pure fix nobass on Hexa?
I got the SpinFit W1 in the end.
They will arrive on Monday.

>>105726105Sure, but Gate better
>>105726031yes, but it also made it super warm by reducing the ear gain and treble
>>105724098It 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.
