>>105745209

My vote goes to the EDC Pro, at least the unit I have.

>>105745105
don't listen to anyone that dismiss the ea500lm as shouty. they're full of shit. ea500lm is more engaging than hexa and has better bass. comes with nozzles and foams that alter the treble or bass, depending on what nozzle and/or foams you use. ea500lm kicks way more ass in the value department than hexa. the difference in bass is night and day. people fight the hexa to get bass out of it.

>>105745359
shouty in what configuration? I ask because it has 3 swappable nozzles that make actually noticeable changes. which you should know if you owned it

>>105745389
>mud and giga bright

>>105745463
>jewish machinations target

>>105745463
Anyways here's the same graph but weighted correctly

>>105745524
it's all relative, there's no ""weighted correctly"" and it's still mud and bright lmao

>>105745418
>shouty in what configuration?

EA500LM is 5128 DF with bass boost, so basically Harman Beta 2024. Wonder if the people at Harman develop this target further now that Sean Olive has retired.

>>105745568

Also I got to try out Simgot EW300 and EA500LM. I think I prefer the EA500LM more but I am really not sure what I myself want, as I've only tested it for about a minute or less. I was doing an errand and the place I visited is very far away.

>>105745706
that one's 'shoutier' than the lm. so you weren't talking about the same pos. got it.

You messed up the soundpost

>>105745878
Could you answer my question instead

>>105745827
EA500 is not shoutier than the EA500LM. If anything it's less.

>>105745923
I guess at the end of the day, your shouty is my detail and brightness. imo, it's only one nozzle that feels brighter than the rest and it's one without foams in it. which you can simply put foams in from the other nozzles.
anybody saying all three configs are shouty is a serious fucktard

Why did retarded nigger OP add samsung garbage to the OP instead of the apple dongle last thread?

>>105746044

im whiter than you'll ever be

it appears my superiority has led to some controversy

>>105746079
I am being real. not only is the treble noticeably changed but the bass as well.
you don't get the reaction of, "oh..yeah?????" in the bass if nothing changed. that's how drastic it is. I've listened to this fucking thing in every configuration for hours, so let's be real, do you own one?

>>105746195
I've tried every combination on both the EA500 and EA500LM, and apart from very slight changes in the upper frequencies, there's nothing else happening.
This is the prevalent impression that most people have, and is also corroborated by measurements. You might hear it differently but you are most likely a special case.

My band recently built an in ear monitoring system, so I'm looking for a dedicated IEM to use with it
Comfort and durability is my main concern, because these will be used for long stretches and not gently at times.
I assume a neutral sound signature will be best here.

AHEM. Fuck treble.

How much do eartips matter. Ordered some Tangzu Wan’er 2s, and I know the Sancai Eartips come with them. Is it worth actually getting some others?

>>105748123
does it seal? is it comfortable? then they're good.

>>105748049
>neutral sound signature
focus on what you prefer, neutrality is a can of worms you do not want to open
q1 pro is arguably the best built out of the bunch and the only one i would get for stage performance as the isolation is the best
if you want something similar then get the ouranos, t3 plus, or c3

>>105748123
as anon said, comfort and seal are the priorities
you can also slightly change the sound with tip height and bore size, but i wouldn't focus on that

Foam for more bass less treble. Silicon can be reused after a clean. Some come with filters and ear wax guards. Size and fit are most important and can take some time to find your ideal match.

>q1 pro is arguably the best built out of the bunch and the only one i would get for stage performance as the isolation is the best
I love the comfort of the Q1, but I'm worried they'll be a bit shrill in the in ears. I'll need the volume fairly high.

>>105748073
How's the nozzle compared to the Cadenza?

Trvke, garbage starfield crapped on me and sounded worse than 20$ sets

So I got TANCHJIM ORIGIN finally delivered and I tried using them with my Xperia 1 VII.
My first impression: HOLY SHIT SILICONE TIPS SUCK ASS SO FUCKING MUCH IT'S UNREAL.

When I manage to find the exact position where nothing interferes with the music, IEMs sounds great.
Finally a clear improvement over my Sennies TWS2 (unlike IE200, where I really had to pay attention to recognize their merits).
But I spent like three songs fiddling with them in my ears trying to seat them properly.

You fags have more experience shoving stuff down your holes - is this typical for silicone?
Or am I making some sort of a common mistake, like the wrong tip size or something (I went with the smallest ones, they feel snug, but maybe I'm doing something wrong).

>>105753234
Not typical for silicone, typical for IEM shapes that don't fit you. Try shallow insertion and third-party tips but most likely you'll need different IEMs.

>>105753234
i use dunu s&s on mine at the moment. softears ultraclear worked as well, but ear tips and fit overall are individualized. origin are fairly heavy and not that intuitive to fit.

>>105753362
>>105753674
I tried out the medium tips.
It's fine with those.
So all good, probably.

>>105754995
it's all harman trash using different measurements as base, read the eq guide or eq to the fox target

>>105754995
best answer is "the one you like the most." try them out. if you dont like them, adjust the eq by hand.
if you dont understand what makes one good or bad, or why you should avoid using any of those eq's, check the eq guide
or go to autoeq on your pc so you can have more info and options to choose from since that list poweramp shows has no info other than the name of the target.

lol ok but fr i was in airport yesterday and saw cute girl with wired earbuds (only one besides iMEg)... the tension. bros..... pure as the white Apple buds she had. So theres your answer, and anyways,,, do you think she liked my little Dongle?????

Redeemed b*nny, and it's terrible! Horrible purchase from which I'll never financially recover from. I should have bought the Truthear© Gate™ instead. Truthear© always offers the best price to performance at any price bracket! Do the needful and redeem Gate™ before it's sold out!

>>105756841
Feel doodle relax it's only >$25

>>105757026
since you have experience with linsoul, what's the structure of that company? what brands count as its parts, just thieaudio and ziigaat or some other ones too?

I only come here to shitpost thoughbeit and I don't need to make myself known in every thread because that's what homosexual individuals do.

True.

for me it's the humble Etymotic ER2SE.

Anime was a mistake

SEA bros after saving for months, ive finally pulled the trigger and it indeed sounds amazing

>>105758152
If you're too intelligent for anime just don't buy it.

The fuck is that? Looks like another Chu to me

>>105752154
Could be potentially interested but only if it's about the same price.
Are there any improvements though? Or is it just literally the same thing with minor redesigns?

>>105758219
Cheap, nozzle isn't made of metal, comfy, and good eq platform.

>>105745124 (OP)
What the fuck is q-lock mini and will it work with stock S12 Pro cable? They look identical to me.

>>105752154
Nooo, why black case doesn't have orange clear plastic anymore? It was the only reason I liked OGs.

>>105758431
no, not identical, not compatible.
q-lock is dunu's name for their style of interchangeable cables.

>>105752154
...but if they have improved ANC while keeping the same (+-) price and sound quality, I might be tempted.

>>105758490
Fuck.
Thanks.

wrong thread idiot

i have a nicehck ydx coming in, how did i do

>>105760732
cute n comfy. good to casually listen with

>>105760732
horrible, eb2s pro is almost the same price but sounds much better

>>105760819
>eb2s pro
>Sale price $29
>YDX $16
Is it really $13 difference better?

>>105760895
yeah ydx has horrible mids bloat

>>105760932
i've been using apple's wired 3.55mm earbuds for years, i don't even know wtf mids bloat is nor will i notice

>>105760951
earpods? earpods are way better so you might

>>105760955
earpods are better than the nicehck ydx? doubt, but i'll have to wait and see

>>105760976
yeah its not even close

>>105760895
that's one guy's subjective opinion, and i disagree. i own both as well. eb2s pro is not "much better." it's brighter and the shell is larger and less ergonomic.

lost manor fucking when?
it's been like 2 years already

>>105745124 (OP)
What IEM should I buy for around 100 freedom bux or lower? I listen to J-music primarily, Metal close second for most of the day in my office. Zero past experience with IEMs, I mostly don't want to keep lugging my headphones around in my backpack anymore with the rest of my gear.

>>105761140
Truthear Pure

>>105761155
the cable being white and the iem black bothers me too much

>>105761155
They're a little ugly, but what's so good about the sound profile? I know fuck all and I think most decent pairs of IEMs are probably gonna sound good to me but I'm curious what I should be looking for for what I typically listen to.

>>105761140
>>105761340
order from amazon so it's easier to return.
they're just shilling new flavor of the month. it'll be fine and it's fairly "neutral." so it's not offensive, but might be bland if you're adjusted to strong bass punch or peaky bright highs.

we should remove the eq guide not because it sucks, but because it's not useful here
there are only two types of anons: those are "vets" whatever that means, and complete newbies
no one is ever reading that shit. the vets will either disregard it or attempt to recommend reading it, and the newbies will never lay their hands on it because they're just looking for a pos to use without fuss

>>105761253
the cable is detachable, just buy a black gate and swap the cables

>>105761497
>no one is ever reading that shit
lies, a bunch of newbies read the guide and now they are enjoying resonance free treble and DF to taste

What the fuck is wrong with truthear? Did they just luck out with hexa? They can't do shit without crin telling them what to do.
Also their shells and nozzles suck. Oversized garbage for no reason.
Trash company

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

>>105761838
q1pro

>>105761497
too long didn't read. u mad lol!

İs this the mid tier end game for poor people

Or people who just want something on the go without wasting money

>>105761863
It's endgame endgame
>best shell
>great drivers that can handle anything
Their biggest problem is meh harman tuning... but it's so obvious and so harman that you can EQ them even without graphs lol
>for poor people
No research found a correlation between price and sound quality... And you literally won't find a better comfort for ANY price.

can eq guide save this bad boy?

>>105761838
stop buying metal shell pos that condensates and kill itself with moisture helps a lot

>>105761838
Tanchjim Bunny. Avoid metal iems embrace cheap plastic.

>>105761927
yeah but not worth

>>105761863
Its just the garbage the resident ruschizo shills, too poor for anything else

>>105761909
Based on this post you already know the only people that dont believe in techs are broke retards

Pretty sick, new REW beta allows for stepped sine sweeps at different levels for THD and linearity testing.

>>105763110
there's literally no correlation between sound quality and price, retard
the fuck else do you need to know?

>>105763193
>its true if I repeat it every day of my life

>doesnt even own iems
Where do these people come from

>>105745124 (OP)
Every couple of years I would give earbuds a try, and every time I will find that they hurt my ears after just a minute.
This time some went different and turns out they are supremely comfortable for sleeping on your side. Going to be my go-to for watching shit in bed.
But also they're the cheapest built set I think I ever held in my hands.

>>105763327
your brain is broken

>>105763193
There's an inverse correlation, the worst shit I've ever heard was all over $1000. Fits like shit too so there's even no point to EQ it.

>>105763591
I don't think there's inverse correlation either

>>105760732
they're relatively comfortable because they're on smallish side, but they sound bad

How sad to post all day and only have one or two 30$ sets lmao

If you only have freebies like q1 pro, you dont actually own iems

>if your IEMs aren't bulky distortion generators they aren't real IEMs

>>105763681
Why dont you get a tanchjim origin and stop being pathetic?

>>105763691
I cant afford it....

I hate anime women on my IEMs.

>>105763691

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

Actual quality driver, not a melted plastic bottle like fox iem

Your pseudo intelligence is not a substitute to actually participating in this hobby ;)

>>105763785
what an idiotic shit to say

Normal iemg enthusiast = owns several iems and can provide direct comparisons

Iemg schizo = parrots the same shit about FR and foxes all day long

>>105763879
>Iemg schizo = parrots the same shit about FR and foxes all day long
I didn't mention FR once

The EQ guide is really there for all these schizos to not feel out of place, in a hobby about owning stuff

>>105764011
>hobby about owning
not a hobby, it's called consumerism
the pos hobby is about minimum phase, EQing, checking out sound signatures and pursuing the best way to enjoy the music, because this is the original purpose of pos

>>105764202
This is an iem general, own iems to participate.

Damn that's a nice case for $100 pos.
