how often do you change your foam tips?
my current ones are over 6 months old I think, they've lost the memory foam functionality a long time ago but other than the fact that they're kinda filty I don't see a reason to replace them

if filthiness was the factor I'd have to change them every 2 days which would be very expensive

Best earbuds? Ideally wireless.

And don't give me some pair of earbuds I have to "learn" to enjoy, like some odd audiophile shit that's chosen not on how it sounds but how it's supposed to sound. I just want the best sound.

I had Sennhieser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 Earbuds and thought they were great, then I got AKG n400nc True Wireless Noise-Cancelling Earbuds and thought they were less good but still serviceable.

Any idea what the best pair of earbuds is today or in the near future? Max budget $250, ideally $200 or less. Thank you in advance.

there are many possible answers.
maybe you just chose the wrong iem in the first place, in which case nothing you try or buy (as far as ear tips) will help. the iems are simply shaped poorly / are too heavy, etc.

I tuned my Fiios to the Harman curve last night and wow, I love it.

The only slight change I would make is to add a little more bass and reduce the sound of cymbals and hi-hats (not sure what exact frequency this is) by 1-2 db.

What's the best IEM with this tuning? Harman curve but with slightly more bass and slightly less in the 4-5k frequency.

which should I buy origin or oxygen? which one has a better soundstage

I figured how to connect my Shanling H2 to Eddict Player and I have to say this may be potentially my favorite player but it lacks an Equalizer (which is okay for now, I have a modded Headpos that I enjoy without EQ). Might try to buy a 512gb microSD and see how much new music I can download off Deemix.

Dont worry, the techs and soundstage are there, just EQ it bro.

Let me guess. You think you can just buy IEMs that don't need EQ.

From my observations, people seem to have read it partially. I think the amount of information presented can feel overwhelming, so I don't feel much regarding this.
It's also not encouraged or even feasible to discuss the guide here, and its use is not optimized since the people that are here are either looking for simple one and done purchases, or already heavily invested in the hobby. I am thinking of sharing the guide elsewhere.

man, threads have been so trash since the 4chinz resurrection and little-to-no-moderation.
genuine questions for the few people i fuck with: totlzo, sheetzo, eqzo, etc. do you guys want to make a discord? at least that way we can moderate and ban outright trolling retards, bad faith users, etc.
this is even coming from someone who hates almost everything about the nu age of shitcord splintering, predators, powertripping fags, etc. and i am not a part of any other online audiotard community. but i don't really see much better alternatives. thread quality has been absolute garbage, and there are bad faith users constantly replying to advice requests with trollposts.

if you want to sure but i'm warning you now, as soon as you make one it'll be inactive, dogshit, and you'll lose the illusion of grandeur that 4chin provided.
there are maybe 15 active posters max

and while i kinda implied it, to say it explicitly, it would be focused on audio. i don't even want a remote possibility of gooners and degenerate shit with alternate channels for "random," or other shit. audio or fuck off. and i'm someone who doesn't have any particular beef with headpos or other stuff either even if i prefer iems so we can include hpg refugees

yeah i hear you. it unfortunately is a kind of last ditch effort to leave behind the shitposters who have constantly occupied iemg for a while now.
again, it's the type of shit i personally do not like at all (spamming a discord link saying come here instead of the thread!) but i don't see many alternatives. jannies aren't giving a fuck about blatantly off-topic posts, let alone the nuances of the bad faith users making troll posts, thinly veiled shilling, etc.
