NO MORE EQ GUIDE
KYS EQ TROONS
weird question to start, but what are your guys thoughts on moondrop blocks?
i just want a cheap pair of wireless flatheads that sounds close/similar to vidos, nothing else
there is just you obsessively monitoring, and shitposting, and OP sniping a fairly dead general guy. fascinating this is how you choose to spend time
>>105943560not weird at all. Blocks are totally fine, as advertised. I've had mine for 8 months, all good. understand it's very simple ofc: no multipoint connection, no anc, prob a shit mic, etc. but it does simply connect to BT and play audio well without sealing your ear canals.
>>105943560>>105943584blocks are shit, worse fit than gen 1/2 airpods
just get the coondrop robin
>>105943608>just get the things that aren't earbudswhat's wrong with faggots not understanding how to give relevant advice?
>>105943616But why do you want earbuds? They are so uncomfortable and sound nowhere near as good as IEMs.
>>105943616>just get the things that aren't earbudsthe robin is an earbud
>what's wrong with faggots not understanding how to give relevant advice?you don't know what you want, otherwise you'd make your own choice instead of asking others for advice
>>105943664>robin is an earbudno, it's not.
>>105943664NTA but the OP asked for "wireless flatheads"
Robin is not a wireless flathead.
>>105943669Yes, it's an in-ear earbud.
>>105943677OP doesn't know what she wants, I'm here to tell her what she wants.
>>105943697You sound mentally disabled.
>>105943702How was the No Kings rally?
>>105943425 (OP)Want to get into IEMs but do they make ones that don't go over the ear i dont want to look like a faggot.
/iemg/ Dogma Check
Tired of the hivemind? Hereโs your weekly sanity dose:
>Crinacle is not your priest.
Rankings are a guide, not divine scripture. Your ears > his spreadsheet.
>Harman โ perfect.
Itโs a preference curve, not a law of physics. Some genres need deviation.
>Chi-Fi isnโt magic.
Great value, yes. Immune to qc issues and hype cycles? Nah.
>Graphs are not sound.
They donโt show staging, dynamics, or fit. Use your ears, not just squigs.
>BA โ metallic, DD โ perfect.
Implementation matters more than driver type. Always has.
>Meme sets arenโt the whole hobby.
If itโs not shilled 24/7, it might still be good. It's highly encouraged to form an original opinion.
>Disagreeing โ cope or deaf.
Let people like what they like without foaming at the mouth.
>Loud posts =/= smart takes.
Confidence without experience is just noise. Show graphs, impressions, or both.
This has been your scheduled break from pos groupthink.
>>105943648it's subjective. quite a lot of people don't like the vacuum feel of iems or the need to shove them so deep into ear canal. sound wise some people also prefer flatheads sound because it has more open feel about them
>>105943785>i dont want to look like a faggotToo late
Kefine Quatio Impressions
>Accessories and Shells
Good faux leather zip case that isn't too small. Decent ear tip variety, but run-of-the-mill quality. The thicker core dark grey tips work fine. Cable checks most boxes: threaded screw lock for modular end (3.5 and 4.4 plugs), good gauge 4-core weave, lightweight hardware bits, and functional chin slider (tight but stays in place). Main nitpick is that it holds some memory kinks, but otherwise a solid stock cable. Shells are above average size and modest weight. There is no attempt at pseudocustom molding, they've gone with a featureless smoothed oblong shape. I can find comfortable fit and seal, but I consider it far from ideal shell ergonomics and shape.
>Listening Specs
Impressions done with stock tips, stock cable, and Black nozzle.
Average sensitivity. Easy to drive, but not hyper revealing of source noise floor. Average scalability, upper midrange tonal issues are more prominent at higher volumes.
>Overall Sound
Cohesive, enveloping, and musical jack of all trades. Kefine generally doesn't shy away from low-end body and warmth, nor do they cross into "basshead," territory. Robust low frequencies lay a solid foundation for crisp midrange and treble. There are no significant peaks, but there are clear deviations from DF from 1.5kHz-6kHz. Instruments and vocals in this range step forward in the mix, and can present as a bit too frontal at times. This area is also where the main differences between nozzles are, and why I prefer the Black nozzles.
>>105944021>BassGood quantity and quality. Good texture. Proper balance between sub bass and mid bass for adequate rumble and thump without droning or excessive bloat. Modestly fast bass without undue decay.
>MidsHit-or-miss. It is listenable with decent tonality, but as aforementioned there are tuning choices and coloration which differ from current meta. With the stock Silver nozzles, the elevated presence and overly forward female vocals can be a bit distracting. Less so with the Black nozzles. There is no significant recess or muffling with the Black nozzles, still plenty of midrange clarity.
>TrebleThere is significant roll-off after 10kHz, so this is mainly discussing low and mid treble, handled by dual nozzle BAs. Tuning colorations and implementation come across as cohesive and pleasant, enhancing perception of imaging and details without harsh timbre. There is missing air and ultra high frequencies, so upper harmonic extension is lacking, and more nuanced UHF micro details are not emphasized.
>Perceived TechnicalitiesAdmirable imaging, layering, and micro details within 10kHz range. Middling separation, macro details, and micro details >10kHz due to upper treble roll-off.
>ConclusionPretty good. Nothing spectacular, but if you find common Chi-Fi offerings lacking low-end oomph, then Quatio is a solid contender. The main warnings are that it does not have meta-tuned upper mids, and I do not think the shell design is good. It remains comfortable for long sessions, no hot spots or outright discomfort, but there is not a lot of leeway for me to achieve proper seal (read as: unforgiving fit, need to find the one correct spot and keep it there). Bland design and mediocre shell ergonomics really diminish the curb appeal and "beginner recommendation factor," but overall accessories and sound are well done to score above average in context of market and price.
>>105944026Maybe tomorrow I will do some measurements, particularly to check for wideband midrange distortion and validate that they have used the 2DDs to cover most of the frequency response, with the BAs take over beyond 5kHz as they claim.
>>105944021>>105944026>>105944038And as a note for editorzo, I've done this and ddHiFi Surface impressions. Not much else recently. Lots of shit to sift through.

Stay mad tho. Slava ukraini
Yesterday I went to my friend place and I get to try his iem, the name was blessing2 and it was so fucking good
I can't find them on amazon, should I try my luck on aliexpress?
>>105944582Old model, not sold anymore. Moondrop makes a blessing 3 but it's not widely liked.
>>105944577Source: I made it up.
actually 5 year old tuning is an insult to 5 year old pos, this trash is tuned way worse

>>105944629lmfao but also theres zero chance hes not deleting this post
After using iems tuned to harman for almost three years I tried to listen to my old snoy WH1000XM3, was completely fucking floored by dogshit, well, everything about the sound, tried autoeq profile for then and what do you know, they sound good now, that's fucking hilarious, you really can turn even a bad pair of headphones into a good one with EQ, huh
>>105944615It's called q1 pro, you should check it out.
>>105943887this post is actually not a shitpost and it's much more valuable than shitposts like the list of threadly sins

>>105944668it reeks of seethe but the sins poster is clearly seething harder
>>105944610kanas pro were like 10 times more expensive lmao what kind of comparison is that you dumb faggot?
show me fucking ONE POS that has a better shell than q1 pro
I'll wait
>>105944718but i thought price had no correlation to sound quality, why are you bringing up price now? odd behavior, truly strange
>better shelledc pro
>>105944689the dogma check poster is like a judge who's mad at retards and wants to exact justice for their retardation, whereas the threadly sins poster is a retard who's mad at people for not being retarded in the same way he is
>>105944637many such cases
harman isn't even a good tuning btw lol
>>105944723>edc proBigger and worse nozzle angle, try again.
>>105944735nope its better q1pro shell sucks and is massive, edc pro is slim and comfy
>>105944723yeah nobody ever said q1 pro "sound quality" was why you should buy them
they are still decent BY THE WAY
and can be easily improved with EQ with like 2 filters
Can you easily improve shitty fucking shells of your retarded pos you are trying to shill? I don't think so
>edc proit's ass
like it is TREMENDOUSLY worse
and not vented too dipshit
do you want me to drill dyi vents in it?
>>105944723not gonna lie, even despite godawful QC the EDC Pro has nice thick shells that don't give cheap feel at all
>>105944743what? q1pros? massive?
are you fucking RETARDED?
>>105944746>not ventedit is vented, you are retarded stop making up copes to justify your shit even by 2019 standards tuning
>>105944747driver flex is a dealbreaker
>>105944761did they stealth revised vents into it? I literally have edc pro it's dogshit
>>105944768bro why are you so desperate, literally making up lies now to shill your horrible pos
>>105944768>did they stealth revised vents into it?KZ sometimes fills the vents with glue for tremendous Andromeda techs.

>>105945694it truly was /iemg/'s golden age
Tanchjim Bunny, 7Hz x Crinacle Zero: 2 or Tangzu Wan'er S.G II? I'm looking for neutral-ish IEMs, I'm going in blind since I don't know anyone who uses any of them. /g/ archive search is dead so I can't check what has been said here before, currently using the KZ ZST so that's what I know
If budget shit can sound good with EQ then what's the point of buying high end?
>>105943425 (OP)I hate audiophile slop but man would I pay for some CRTs or something with that branding
>>105945943>CRTs>in 2025*laughs in OLED*
>>105945937Thats the thing, they dont sound better, but if you dont have expensive stuff you'd never know
>>105945950Im kind of new to the whole IEM thing
I started with the KZ ZS10s.
I just upgraded to the TRN JAWS and the Yume IVs
I'm plugged into a FiiO BTR15 connected to my phone
Haven't gotten the other two in yet, but i'm hoping for a decent upgrade from the ZS10s
>>105945937Cheap stuff doesnt sound good, its just most dont have expensive iems to compare, so for them its good
>>105945978How much do you have to spend before you're in the 'good' range for an IEM?
>>105945891If I buy the Tanchjim Bunny DSP/USB-C version, what's the cheapest way to have 3.5mm support in case I need it at some point? I'm checking Amazon and there are some IEMs with 2 pin 3.5mm cables that cost less than the cables by themselves
>>105945983Simgot or Dunu Titan S being the bare minimum
>>105945983$200 is fine. Anything after $300 and you're reaching the land of diminishing returns
>>105946007Good on you anon, I was actually just doing a bit of tomfoolery, I only use IPS.
>>105946004>>105946005I have a really terrible track record with IEMs rarely lasting more than a year before they start dying in one ear, I don't even handle them that roughly. Are expensive ones at least more durable? I don't mind spending a couple hundred if they're not going to die within a year.
>>105946013Some are, like the one i the OP.
>>105945937Well in my case I was using epz 530 which is harman-ish and then went with 1000xm3, which isn't cheap at all, just very poorly tuned and autoeq hammered this shit to harman pretty adequately, legit can use them without puking now, I doubt that any 10$ headphones or iems will take EQ as good as XM3 tho.
>>105946030Maybe my ears just aren't very well trained. I recently bought a pair of truthear gato and with only some minor EQ they sound 95% as good as my 5x more expensive K371 headphones, which I love the sound of but are falling apart.
>>105946087You could make it 200% as good. IEMs aren't limited by their drivers unlike headphones.
>>105946108I'm new to EQ and just started playing around with it for an hour, I'll take a look at the guide in the OP so I actually know what I'm doing and maybe I'll get there.
Monarch MK4 demo unit died so unfortunately I didn't get a chance to listen to it. But here's some recent pos impressions part 1:
>Nicehck Rockies
Tested on Azla Crystals โ Decent JM-1 timbre, sounds like a less muddy Mega5est. Subbass and midbass are adequate, but it sounded less bassy than stock Harman sets. Compared to the EPZ P50, the Rockies have a smoother treble presentation, but itโs a minor difference.
All in all, no glaring issues. Low-end is thinner than what Iโd have liked, but not suffering from bass bleed is a huge plus. Rockiesโ pricing is out of touch with the market tho, itโs at best 5% better than the P50 but costs double the EPZ. 9/10.
Personal JM-1 ranking: Rockies => EPZ P50 > CrinEar Daybreak > CrinEar Meta > Mega5Est > DaVinci > Dusk
>Truthear Pure
Tested on Azla Crystals โ Nice warm tonality but also incredibly muddy, even more so than the Zero:Red+10ohm. Lower-mids are barely coherent and on select tracks female vocals can sound a tad drown out. Iโm a big fan of the warm tonality, but having heard better warmfi sets like the Artpical Lucifer, Alter Ego, Prismatica Gold, the aforementioned sets just completely mog the Pure in sound quality.
A/Bโd to Hexa: My issues with the Hexa is the lacklustre bass and treble presentation, and fortunately the Pure has slightly improved on both areas. But itโs a very marginal change, and not enough for me to call it good. 5/10.
>Ocharaku Donguri Kaede
Old Japanese bullet pos, very tip dependent. When using the Azla Crystals, the Kaede sounded really lean and congested โ like you could tell the sound is being played through a small nozzle.
Swapping to Lepic Nuon tips helped the Kaede to sound kinda like a less midbassy Tanch Origin. I donโt have triple flange tips, but using my deeper insertion EBT Earrbond tips helped a lot in smoothing out the treble and improving the sound. I can see the potential but I canโt be bothered to tip-roll further. 7/10.
>>105946608 (me)
Part 2:
>Tanchjim ForceAlready posted my impressions of the Force during Canjam. This is my demo of the final retail unit.
Tested on Azla Crystals โ my initial impressions havenโt changed. Force is a vocal centric set, but still very muddy. Also suffers from splashy treble like all Tanchjim pos (although itโs not as bad as the Originโs). Bass bleed on the Force is very noticeable โ if youโre a graph sniffer, the Rockies looks to have more low-end than the Force, yet in actuality the Rockiesโ mids sounded vastly cleaner with zero bass bleed. 4/10.
>Tanchjim Fission (Switch: Monitor + Brass Nozzle)Tested on Azla Crystals โ Bright neutral, better treble presentation/extension than the Force. With a bit of brain burn-in, the treble sparkle is kinda nice and enjoyable, but it is still splashy.
Doesnโt sound as midbassy as the Origin and treble timbre isnโt as gritty. Listenable. 6/10.
>Kiwi Ears AstralTested on Azla Crystals โ Astral sounded like the Rockies but with a more V-shape coloration: more bassy + pinna gain.
Unfortunately the coloration also changes the tonality of the set, Iโd struggle to call this a real JM-1 tuning. The Astral also has treble peaks which makes female vocals extra shouty and shimmery. Cymbals and hi-hats sounded really nice tho.
When listening to classical, I get ear-raped by piano keys because of the treble peak. But the Astral is really fun-sounding when listening to the ACG genre (like fripSide). 8/10.
>>105946608>EPZ P50 > CrinEar Daybreakwhy did you think p50 is better than daybreak?
>>105946629EPZ faceplate techs.
>>105946629Custom Faceplate Tech.
>>105946640>>105946641r-right...
how is soundstage between them?
The EQ troons are samefagging again I see
>>105946629The P50 and Daybreak sounded really similar and honestly you could go either way. The only reason I ranked the P50 higher is because I perceived the treble on the Daybreak to be more aggressive.
>>105946608>everything is bright and muddy, buy EPZwhat an interesting opinion...

Are there any other pocket Bluetooth DACs other than HiBy W3 and Fiio BTRs with a 3.5 mm port?
I bought one from Ugreen a long time ago, but it's starting to die, something is shorting out and it just shuts off.
I thought I'd have no trouble finding a replacement, but it's really difficult to find anything. The BTRs are a bit too expensive, and the HiBy has a really small battery.

>>105949004I just had to post this, I know I know, the pagmin will insta delete this, but its so fitting
>>105949051mine's clogged? you checked it? clog or not, it's a v-shaped pos. if you wanna argue there's a lot going on in the treble that you most likely find bad, you still can't say it's not warm or that it's not v-shaped. unless you're talking about non-LM. which would still be wrong
>>105949092I can say that I demoed it and had to turn it off after 3 seconds to preserve my hearing.
>>105949092V shaped precludes warm, warm is defined by recessed treble and elevated lower mids. Simgot treble is the exact opposite of warm.
>>105949103definitely not long enough to check how the nozzles work, as well as the foams. I'm surprised you didn't give it a shot for eq's sake...
>>105949123some have called the LM u-shaped. either way, who gives a shit.
>>105949043I said it was a real conversation and it was. Foxzo slipped up that day, still coming down from the stimulants, revealing a bit too much of himself
>>105949137It's J shaped.
>>105949162in any configuration, it mogs blessing 3, timeless/ae, variations, kato, aria 2 and titan s
>>105949312Unfortunately doesn't mog the Origin which is mogged by the EDC Pro which is mogged by the Q1 Pro which is mogged by the Gate which is mogged by the Bunny which is mogged by the ER2SE which is mogged by the G10 with custom faceplate which is mogged by the Origin Lost Manor Edition which is mogged by the KZ Gale which is mogged by the Ruta10 which is mogged by the AK6 which is mogged by the CRA
>>105949354All of them mogged by CCA CRA
>>105949354deafzo was exposed as a foxbum discord troon, ur q1pro sucks btw
>>105949424is there an official /iemg/ discord? send an invite

foxbum can you send me an invite
if someone makes an iemg discord i will join
>10-Band PEQ

endgame dongle right here, sadly the 3.5mm isn't available yet
>>105949563I was in one some years ago, but it was during an era foxzo had variations and most people were interested about tripowin mele or some shit, so nothing really noteworthy to comment, back then the annoying avatarfag was the zishan anon
>>105949572Zishabo was way cooler than modern 'zos, with the exception of chuzo.
>>105949590He just posted himself driving cars or doing other mundane shit, basically just an attention seeking blogposter
>>105949590Tbf by the time I entered that discord he was already well known and I couldnt care less about the non iem aspects he shared about his life
>>105949613FiiO has the best PEQ implementation. They give you a browser app and you actually can use LS, HS, etc. unlike moondrop, tanchjim, jcally that it's only peak.
>>105949677Would be cool if it worked.
>>105949149Member when rusbum bought glass dildo alongside with Variations and got caught? i member.

>>105949757why would he show this pos..........

>>105949955Yes, you heard it here first.
>>105950087forget about iems can you show us your updated dildo collection? you must have gotten more since then, ill even stop making ukraine jokes for 3 weeks
>>105950251any comments regarding the rumors that you're a hot babe?
>>105950087What if this FR difference is the product of something physical? Like one of the drivers is literally misaligned inside the shell?
>>105950087>1.5db mismatchIts more like 3 decibels of bass lol

>>1059510155128 has worse QC than chifi, don't use it to judge channel balance. Also I'm like 80% certain crin measures one of the earpieces upside down since he could only afford one ear.
>>105951015bwahhahahahahahahaa
surely the boutique pos makers will take the time to properly channel match their hand crafted pos
ok cmon this is ridiculous
>>105951035stfu stinky. This is not even relevant in this case since both were measured on the same coupler and under the same conditions.

ok memes aside this is pretty impressive in general, not to mention it being from qkz
>>105951180lmao, now they deny the very existence of channel matching
>>105951267ok now find a bad graph of this one

>>105951267ill take blue sample 2 over foxpos anyday tho
>>105951324here
>>105951336foxpos is g10 / q1 pro, plenty of good and bad channel matching you can find
>>105951368tanchjim origin has good channel matching, stay melty tho
>>105951491everything you posted is preferable to foxpiss
nobody cares about your stupid graphs lets see the dildo collection already
>>105951527i don't really care about foxpiss, all i'm showing is that every model will have at least one pos with poor channel matching
>>105951538ok and? dildo collection or stfu
>>105951545so why are you obsessed with dildos? haven't been keeping up with this gen much so if there's lore lmk
>>105951555foxbum has a dildo collection that he refuses to show us
>>105951561you know what, that doesn't surprise me at all
>>105951538>i don't really care about foxpiss, all i'm showing is that every model will have at least one pos with poor channel matchingYou nitpicked every single graph database possible to prove your point, we have an anon ITT that bought and measured a poorly matched Q1 Pro, and ruskies isnt much better
>>105951629Rookie mistake. Should have bought G10.
Just EQ the imbalance bro.
>>105951629well what's the difference?
>not having a 711 coupler in 2025
such amateurs, sigh...
>>105951667this doesnt make me want to buy foxpiss bro
>>105951722>buying IEMs by graphLol!
>>105951667hey less seething more dildo collection posting, thanks
>>105951667i wanna buy an oxygen now
New rule: anybody shilling or defending foxpiss or associated pos (Q1Pro/G10/etc) MUST post an image of their dildo collection or their argument is immediately invalidated.
>>105951720it's only "reliable" up to a point. having a coupler isn't even a flex, dipshit. just enjoy your media. holy shit
>>105951629it literally doesn't mean anything
if he bough 10 and all 10 was poorly matched then it would've been at least something.
and his matching wasn't even that bad
>>105951892>it's only "reliable" up to a point.as in simulating an acoustic impedance that mimics an average, but for channel matching it doesn't matter, you'd be mostly interested in the delta between the channels
Scariest realization in my audiophile career?
Tech imbalance. It's real.
>>105951927true my right unit has wider soundstage than the left one
I'm not even joking
>>105951852How about eardildo collection?
Fun Fact #1: With bullet iems, you rarely match the insertion depth for both sides; you always have some channel imbalance in the treble.
Fun Fact #2: Ear Canals Are Asymmetrical.
Fun Fact #3: The Brain Compensates For Little Imbalances.
>>105951920I'm mostly interested in listening, not analyzing
>>105951934shut the fuck up.
>>105951927i thought i was crazy, i swear one side of my simgots has more detail than the other

>>105949896this pic is still hitting hard ngl
so whats the point of EQ'ing if most of us dont have a measuring rig lol
>>105952399you can still eq without a measuring rig, stuff like canal resonance and general tonality are easily remedied

>>105952411you still gotta add 2 decibels of bass to that fox iem and hope you chose the right channel
>>105952433hope? if you can't hear it then it is not needed
>>105952399professionals do it by ear
rather than a measuring rig it's better have a decent speaker set up
>>105952433ill be adding 20db of shout to your mother tonight
>>105952399theres no point thats why barely anybody eqs and nobody reads the eq guide
maybe the poorfags are those that don't have a coupler...
>>105952586poorfags are the ones coping with a coupler
the richfags measure with 5128
