why not put kbear kb01 instead of cadenza

>>105893064
cadenza is more widely distributed and the better known quantity. if anything can just put both tho

Square wave is just FR at a dozen of points. And if it actually resembles a square it means there's just one driver(abysmal techs).

What a proper techy square wave looks like. Mathematically proven.

we take fr seriously here. you gotta lock yourself in a room with no windows or lights for 72 hours straight playing pink noise at exactly 72.8dB.
then you gotta recite crinacle's top 10 list backwards while holding an ea500lm in one hand and zsn pro x graph in the other.
finally, you must sacrifice your foam tips to the altar of soundstage.

TimeEar Blossoms should replace G10 as the new 35$ rec and im not even joking

>>105896772
The entire point of g10 is that it's comfortable as fuck. This is ass.

>>105896789
Shill.

They are right, Q1P is better than EDC Pro which is better than Origin.
Bunny? To be determined.

>retard 1 shows a single unit with a slight imbalance
>retard 2 goes full ape and removes it from OP
why is this general like that

summoning russia haterzo

>>105896772
0 squigs to be seen so it's not a safe pick compared to G10. If schizos here are going to try to shit on G10/Q1 Pro, at least pull up an iem that's more appealing.

>>105896823

I shiggy diggy

I'm not against an IEM with Q1pro tier shell and better tuning but this ain't it

wow...

>>105896845
Way better than origin.

>>105896878
Bro having a melty with tanchjim all the time lol

Why did you buy that imbalanced pos, bro.

>>105896900
Asano loves you, yet your self hatred wont let you see how wide and immersive her love is

>people extolling Q1pro comfort
Really? Seems pretty average to me. Also look what I did to my gate cables, super spammer isn't going to like this one.

I think it's time to admit that ALL chink IEM makers have shit QC and it's basically random if you get a unit with good channel matching or not.
And you will never know if you don't have a measuring device because all of you dumb fucks are fucking deaf.
Discussing this beyond that is silly.

>>105896927
Nah tanchjim would win the QC game

>>105896916
everybody's ears are different. Some people like how edc pro fits. I can't even make them stay properly inside my ears lol

>>105896833
Replace g10 with g20.

>>105896940
we simply do not have data to confirm or deny that
even if we take ALL of squigs... it's still not enough data points

I have a Variations but I'm afraid it's wasted on me because I skipped over everything between $15 and $500 so I don't have much of a point of reference

>>105896963
Variations were obsoleted by fox iem, sorry.

>>105896867
If this is how the hobby worked then there wouldn't be the hype culture we have for new iems. There exists no squigs for Blossoms because nobody cares. Simple as

>>105896916
At worst, it's average in terms of comfort.
At best, it's as good as it gets.
>>105896927
It's the opposite, most have decent to great channel matching (QC not so much). Unit variation take is based and the rest is true except that since most are deaf they will not notice <1db imbalance.
>>105896953
No.
>>105896957
Good take, and I would argue that most data points are bad.
>>105896963
You need to either have a good speaker setup, music production experience, or read the EQ guide.

>>105896963
>I have a Variations
My condolences bro

>>105896963
moon...DROPPED!

If you have no rig you have imbalance. If you have a rig but can't EQ per channel you still have imbalance. Until proven otherwise.

>>105897002
Who named you the sheriff?

fun fact: your ear anatomy is probably asymmetrical, and so you will have a difference in length mode frequency, but also amplitude across the whole range
https://4ciemg.github.io/IEMGazette/monthly-issues/may-2025/#insertion-depth-change-explanation

>the dude with his 30$ set feeling like he is hot shit for using an equalizer
My sides

So is there even one good technical explanation why EQ isn't the most efficient, accessible, and powerful tool to change how something sounds?

>>105896983
>Good take, and I would argue that most data points are bad.
711 couplers are fine for channel matching data. We don't need to compare actual FR. Just channel matching measured with the same coupler.
It is much easier but yeah there's no real control or methodology with a lot of them but it'll just lower the number of data points available. (some of them are measurements of the same IEM reviewers are sending to each other lol)

>>105897019
>he thinks there are IEMs that don't need EQ

>>105897015
I don't really hear peak imbalance on any of my IEMs.

>>105897071
>I don't really hear
Many such cases.

>>105897019
you are in a wrong thread to push dumb bullshit like that
this whole hobby emerged because $30 IEMs became as good as $300+ shit

>anons that post pics and measurements are mega chill
>retards that don't post anything shitting up the thread with senseless debating in at the schizo round table
why???

>>105897076
are you stupid? I CAN hear it by changing insertion depth lol My peak is super fucking loud and it's unmistakable when tone is playing in the middle or to the one side or the other...

>>105897109
>I CAN hear
X

Force graphs. No real opinions on sound yet, they seem alright but I'm not immediately noticing the claims of huge soundstage. I don't know what the point of the Effect Audio collab was, the cable is nothing special apart from Tanchjim's modular plug system which is the best out there.
RE: Channel matching, I'll let the shitposters decide on the final verdict. I can hear it but I can't quite decide if it bothers me just yet.

>>105897128
Channel matching is above average, really good by my books.
>but I'm not immediately noticing the claims of huge soundstage
Any extraordinary claim of soundstage is false, and if you learn how localization works in both production and reproduction of music then you will know how to perceive it and communicate your experience better.

>>105897128
How's the subbass distortion. Truthear zero had a rolloff like that and it sucked.

>>105897143
>Any extraordinary claim of soundstage is false, and if you learn how localization works in both production and reproduction of music then you will know how to perceive it and communicate your experience better.
Soundstage for pos is just your brain playing tricks on you, and these pos don't trick my brain the same way pos with less isolation does. Other people might not have the same experience.
>>105897152
I don't listen loud enough for that to remotely matter.

>>105897128
how thick is it compared to origin and kara

>>105897128
>I'm not immediately noticing the claims of huge soundstage
Russian propaganda.

it's called psychoacoustics you swine

>>105897261
It's called stop buying used IEMs, pagpag.

>>105897261
you literally don't know anything about psychoacoustics

>>105897181
Way bigger but I like the comfort more.
I actually got a postcard for the first time ever, it's nice.

>>105897321
>it's called a hamburger

that's you. that's what you sound like. fuck you

>>105897323
wtf it's fucking HUUGE

>>105897361
this is amusing because
>psychoacustics = hamburger
is the level of your understanding of the matter

>>105897377
it's called an analogy you lil skamp

>>105897388

>>105897399
what the fuck else would I goon to? people?

>>105897388
it's a dogshit analogy because you open you mouth about psychoacoustic without any understanding about what the fuck you are saying and why

>>105897323
never been so over, that is massive for a tanchjim pos
does anyone know if they are releasing any other completely new iem (so no lost manor)? if not then i'm redeeming the fission next
also
tribute when?

psychoacoustic don't really say anything about why one IEM would have a better soundstage over the other in the first place because it's all very vague individualistic and hard to research

>>105897128
paying $200 for 2DD to get a weirdo subbass roll off and 1DD tier treble? yeeeeeah I don't think so

>>105897547
>it's all very vague individualistic and hard to research
Not really if you are up to date with current research on localization. In the grand scheme of things we are decently close to audio personalization for external localization.

>>105897563
>Not really if you are up to date with current research on localization
research on localization is irrelevant to IEMs... feel free to link the research tho
>In the grand scheme of things we are decently close to audio personalization for external localization
well fucking show me a soundstage on the graph then

>>105897581
Oh I wasn't talking about passive IEMs, I was just discussing about the topic in general.
I think the closest we'll get to the optimization of soundstage is with isolation/openness and FR.
Most of the research nowadays is based on VR anyways.

>>105897560
DDs are the best at treble, sounds good to me.

>>105897605
why the fuck are you talking about irrelevant shit then?
The fact of the matter is some people hear what they would describe as a "soundstage" with some IEMs but not the others and nobody really knows why.
There are some assumptions but IEMs just do not have ANY of localization queues our brains use.

There are two classes in /iemg/.
Subhuman genetic freaks, and Superior Pioneers of Sonics with perfect HRTF matching with 1DD IEMs.
Which one are you?

>>105897677
Both.

>>105897677
>There are two classes in /iemg/.
nope, just one: man-children who blow way too much money up chink's asses

>>105897658
asking almost $300 for basically $30 tuning is insane
>DDs are the best at treble, sounds good to me.
do you not hear 14k peak?

>>105897128
>I'm not immediately noticing the claims of huge soundstage
channels are too closely matched for a good soundstage

>>105897785
I get peaks all over the place with every driver type, pretending like DDs are the only drivers that have peaks is retarded.

as per usual, the real lessons is to read the eq guide

>>105897532
you keep saying I don't know shit about it so confidently. again, fuck you.

entry level IEMs?
i don't want to bring my big boy cans to work. but i don't actually know if i'd like IEMs. if they suck i don't want to be out hundreds of dollars, but if they suck just because i got cheap ones i'm missing out. where's the sweet spot? what would you recommend if your friend asked you? (i am your friend)

>>105897785
>asking almost $300 for basically $30 tuning is insane
You don't get it, you pay $300 for atrocious shells.

>>105897813
read the eq guide, realize that price doesn't matter, that every iem will work, that you're using them at work so get some airpods pro 2

>>105897823

i don't use apple. i don't want my electronics to be made by slaves.

>>105897833

>>105897581
you can't graph it, but I'm sure diagrams could be drawn to illustrate how you perceive where different sounds "placed" in your head. 99.999% of all reviews mention soundstage. you're a dolt

>>105897804
because it's obvious that you don't
don't ever say "psychoacoustics" ever again if you don't have anything substantial to add, kid
uuh achtually it's psychoacoustics
no actually you are retarded

class 3 listener moment

I am from the Draftdodginsky Oblast, I love doing meth and big dildos, tho i dont consider myself gay

>>105898568
The main point of it is shown: FR and IR are linked. As described, this was done using REW's EQ matching, which is not precise enough, so I added manual EQ changes afterwards.
REW's EQ and arithmetic functions are not perfectly precise either, most noticeably at high frequencies.
If you are adamant that this needs fixing, I will do so when I can, but as it is the measurements show both the link and lack of use of IR as these differences can be attributed to differences in the FR.

>>105897078
You are a sad broke faggot, acquire Hype R

>>105899410
there are only a handful of "flagship," DACs implemented in >70% of devices. AK4493/AK4499, CS43131/CS43198, ES9039/ES9069.
These are the newest gen of these companies' DACs, and they all have good performance metrics. it's up the specific manufacturer to implement it well, with good supporting architecture to manage clock, jitter, and interface with inputs smoothly (allow high pcm/dsd decoding, reliable usb, etc.)
there are excellent sources from $50-$300. not much more needs to be spent, and you get into inverse returns (higher THD and higher noise floor with tube amps, R2R, or other B.S.).

>>105899410
Diminishing returns start at apple dongle. At best you'll get better build, better software compatibility, more features. But not "better sound".

The blue vido are so good especially at $2.5 I can't get over them, I just wish the cable didnt feel so shit but I mean the whos complaining at that price. I need to clean out their aliexpress

>>105900123
This is a good anwser. Same happens with iems, you dont wanna go too expensive, but dont cheap out either, something like tanchjims DMT 5 diaphragm will sound much better than some random LCPos.

that's bullshit. you a/b apple dongle off your phone with something like a ds2 and you can easily tell the difference.
>>105902605
this is more about scaling and giving particular pos the juice they need, not so much volume. what have you heard scale when adding power?
you're right about negative pregain being necessary.

>>105902990
>what have you heard scale when adding power?
Nothing. If you match the volume then the sound is identical.

>>105902990
hearing loss scales when adding power

Hello, fellow retards.
I need a Bunny -- same sound, fit, price -- but with a sane cable connector. No proprietary tanchjim bullshit.
What are my options?
>INB4 it's a regular 2pin
It's not, you can't buy replacement cables for bunny or One.

>>105903007
sounds like a discernment issue.
>>105903022
when adding volume, yes.

How durable are OP's recommended USB-C DACs? I listen while out a lot so I have phone in pocket and the DAC cable naturally bends at right-angle down out of the pocket because the headphone cables are longer. The UGREEN one I has worn from this over 6 months and now won't output left channel anymore unless I hold it specifically at this bent angle. I know they're only 10 bucks but it's annoying. Do these JCally ones with the braided cables last longer? Thx in advance frens.

>>105903451
There's no physical mechanism by which an IEM can discern whether it receives 1V from a 30mW source or a 300mW source.

What is the opinion on the Aful explorer? Are there any similar priced alternatives?

>>105903356
Salnotes zero original, maybe Moondrop Lan, based on graphs

>"it's not about more volume bro, it's about the headroom"
>look inside
>more volume

>>105903584
if my 4head is a 5head, do I need more volume

>>105903670
You need to give head.

>>105903678
do i get edc pro if i do

>>105903551
sine wave at 1V isn’t the same as transient-rich audio like busy music even film scores that have instruments, voice and ambient sounds, all competing to fit in the mix perfectly,
which only competent amps and speakers can accurately reproduce, without collapsing or distorting.
power delivery quality matters just as much as quantity

>>105902441
>>105901434
Tbf I still prefer the QKZ x HBB, something about 2DD's is jarring to me, both the Draco and the Truthear Red

>>105903993
I don't know if you've ever looked at a "transient-rich audio like busy music even film scores that have instruments, voice and ambient sounds, all competing to fit in the mix perfectly," but it's actually just voltage going up and down. When you set both to 1V peak its integrated power will be less than of a sine wave actually.

>>105904035
An actual amp stress test has a waveform that looks like a brick. No transients in sight, just constant power.

>>105901135
Sounds about right.

>>105901135
*pRodents

>>105904035
you're being pedantic about waveforms instead of talking about audible differences.

>>105904397
1V is 1V. No matter the waveform, no matter the amp.

is light song by livetune still /iemg/'s favourite song?

>>105904430
Eww.

Frog tws, endgame.

>>105904423

no it is not there are these things called damping factor and q

>>105904662
Literally just output impedance.

>>105904423
so you're saying audible differences do not exist, right?

>>105904707
Yes.

>>105904715
so you're deaf?

>>105904829
No.

>>105904841
are you a nihilist?

>>105904864
No.

Of course silly we call him deafzo for a reason

>>105903356
>inb4 it's a regular 2-pin
yo dummy, regular 2-pin DO fit tanchjim iems like the bunny perfectly fine, irrespective of the stock cable having longer pins

>>105898716
Fair, but the anon's image that inspired you was 1:1. One can argue it's not the same since you can see some leftover.

>>105902441
>>105901434
wait why are you guys suddenly buying this random dumb shit?

>>105905546
To own foxzo or something. Just went apeshit 2 weeks ago, completely unprovoked, and pranked themselves out of $30. Lmao!

Let me just say that I am not an audiophile, I'm just curious about iem's. Ive never had good luck wearing earbuds that I could tolerate for more then 30 mins. Flatheads are the only ones I can tolerate for long periods of listening.

Is it worth looking into buying special eartips or bullethead gels? Ive always just felt uncomfortable or felt pressure build up in my ears canal after wearing gels so I'm wondering if I'm just built not to enjoy them.

Like to hear from other anons that found what worked for them.

>auto eq bunny to gate
>it doesn't sound like gate

>>105905882
EQ it by ear
which frequencies sound different?

>eqing without reading the eq guide

>eqing without using peqdb

>>105904430
We only listen to real music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyPhsFxnc_c

>>105905901
GYAAAAAATT THIS IS A W FAP ONG CUH

>>105905882
Happened to at least 30% of techs retards(the rest never seen a graph in their entire life).

>using peqdb

>>105905610
It started from the "there are no openback iems" discussion. It was already known they're not openback. They still bought it.

>>105906090
>cause I said so

>>105906090
There are but /iemg/ isn't ready for this discussion.

>>105905747
After trying too many tips, spinfit cp100 ss tips and narrow deep insertion iems like etymotics are the only ones I can use for more than about 4 hours at a time

>>105906090
if I obstruct the nozzle and crank up the volume, sound is clearly coming out of the vents, so they are open back in that sense, and this definitely contributes to them feeling more spacious and less congested

>>105905882
>auto EQ two iems to each other on all the squiglink databases that have both
>the EQ profiles differ by ± 3db
You can't accurately EQ match two IEMs, the measurement and unit variation is too great.

>>105906414
You won't believe what happens when you do this on regular vented IEMs...

>>105906466
its just for fun anon, they do sound interesting, i dont think i got the honkmaxxed one, its also way more comfy than qkz x hbb fit wise

>>105906466
Thinking an open design will lead to a more spacious sound is dentoid propaganda. Don't fall for it guys, you'll just lose out on Sub-bass.
>VeryFuhKaySchun nawt ree-kwired.

>>105906090
thx anon ill look into these and try them out

>>105906528
The sub-bass roll off is what makes it spacious!

niggas will do anything but buy a quirky iem for fun

>>105906579
They can't afford it.

desu if some of those are kz stealth revised i wouldnt advice getting them in good conscience

>>105906579
No I just don't want to buy an iem associated with some attention starved sperg who comes here to shit his pants over foxes.

>>105906697
theres several fox hating schizos, I just want yall to stop buying the same iem over and over, its boring

>>105906720
Nooo its only one guy everybody else loves trannyfox surely surely

>*3 years of fox*
>I sleep
>*someone remembers foxzo is russian*
>wtf "we" hate fox now!

>>105906791
Correction: foxzo gets butthurt and deletes a bunch of joke posts and exposed himself as an eternally seething faggot

>>105906742
based, my brother whacking these troons before they appear, that being said im not sure if the graphzo was being facetious, if some of those tri's are stealth revised I would be careful

editor here
why do i even bother with this anymore

>>105906801
And he deleted >>105898572 because uhh
*aneurism*

Hilarious, pretty sure mr fengru doesn't even post that much

>>105906822
yeah he doesnt allow fox sloppa, yet I can post tanchjim feet all day

>10 summerfags cannot even produce as much vitriol as chuzo
yall fell off lmao

>>105906830
No he just deletes posts and malds lmao

>its ukrainians
>its a newfag

whats next?

>>105906907
fucking kek

>>105906888
>whats next?

>>105906961
wow a /pol/ meme? naughty naughty

>>105906454
depends on iem

you're telling me i cant eq my $10 pos to a $3000 one?

>>105907370
you can if you read the eq guide

>>105907370
You can't. I can, because I'm super intelligent and awesome and not a poor russian.

>>105907370
you an but it's not a simple as autoEQing 2 random squigs online

>>105907370
No, $10 drivers are too high quality.

same old regurgitated sloppa about eq....

Best budget techs monsters?

>>105907383
make a case study out of curiosity

>>105907498
yeah, they always claim they can eq to kilobuck, but they never show their eq or what pos they use, presumably for comedic reasons

can't eq techs

>>105904430
It's made by KZ, so the answer is yes.

Dummie here

>Budget
Ideally under 150$
>Intended use (media, source, environment)
I wanna get an IEM for my waifu with custom cute anime prints on the "tips"(?)
Like this anon for example >>105897776
She listens to stuff almost exclusively on her samsung galaxy s25 via bluetooth or the usb-c port
>Frequency response preference and music examples
She listens to a lot of classical music and podcasts on spotify, so sound fidelity isn't a huge concern I think
>Past gear and your thoughts on them
She's been using some pretty scuffed bluetooth JBL 500s for a while, recently her sister let her try some apple airpods and she was impressed with the sound quality relative to the JBLs but thought that the price was outlandish

I understand I can buy some basic ones on aliexpress or temu or whatever, but I was hoping there was some kind of one stop shop for my use case which would be a mid-ish quality sound with the ability to just customize the print

>>105907689
EDC Pro + good cable + good eartips + EQ + paint job

>>105907689
Aliexpress, official epz store, ask the seller, you can customize most of the IEMs. This is epz g10.

>>105907728
*their IEMs

My triple flange toys arrive today, sistas. I can't wait to penetrate my ears!

>>105907746
Good opportunity to become a flangebro like us.

>>105907689
get her Both the epz's that are like $20 with the custom faceplate (not "tips" those are the silicon parts that go in your ears) AND if you want, the moondrop Space travel (tws) for $30. it'll give her the option of portable ones that are better than the jbl's and the custom pretty ones. and teach her about eq.

>>105907746
shit hurts my ears too much so I just can't do it lol

>>105907689
Totally organic post

>>105907711

After EQ, my EDC Pro is now as good as any other of my pos.
But why does nobody ever EQ one pos to another?
The real question is why EQ to another pos, when you can EQ to something better?

>>105907980
>But why does nobody ever EQ one pos to another?
researchers did
>The real question is why EQ to another pos, when you can EQ to something better?
it's not a real question it doesn't really matter

>>105907980
EQing one pos to another is a shartur meme, eqlets just didn't get the memo.

>>105908030
how is it a meme at all

>>105908123
>no IEM sounds good without EQ
>EQ your IEM to something that doesn't sound good
Genius

>>105908143
first point is simply not true
it all really depends on a lot of things

>>105908161
Liking something without EQ is a skill issue.
