will i need portable dac+amp with angzu
Wan'er S.G

phone is chicnksht

>>106592427
Only if you hear hissing with them.

>>106590608
eq guide just unironically tells you to use a speaker system or fuck off.

>Amp finally got delivered
Anyways, here an unboxing dump because some anon said he likes pics

>Accessories (end of dump)
Kinda barebones, wished LP had included a case

Help me >>106591608

I need something for a loud environment.

>>106592943
tws is very unpopular here, especially anything more expensive than $20
If you bring some options it will be easy to evaluate their audio quality.

>>106592943
Nothing beats etymotics for passive noise isolation but they're wired. Rtings measures passive noise isolation if I recall.

>>106592943
Are you sensitive to ANC? I heard some people can't bear the "pressure" inside their ear even though it's an illusion.
I can't recommend off the top of my head since most TWS have shallow fits. Try looking for ones where the nozzles are a lot longer on the photos.

>>106592395 (OP)
Hello am looking for reccomendations, primarily for gaming/positional audio, good audio in general cause i have a flac library. I have a pair of truthear zeros, the blue gen1 ones, and I was pretty happy with them overall its just the left driver is tweaking, my balance on left is 80% now, so I’m looking for a replacement.
Thanks

>>106593170
>>106593193
>>106593136
Yes well, I have Etymotics and love them when the wire isn't an issue. How are wireless adapters these days? Maybe I just use the Etymotics with a wireless adapter. Yes the wire is a problem for my use case.

I'm not looking for optimum audio quality, the options are either just earpro or earpro that I can play some music or podcasts through. It's not going to be great no matter what.

>>106593322
remove both filters.

Uodated my fiio driver, it set volume to MAX for about 2 seconds.
Is my iem a goner? My ears are still ringing.

>>106593658
Fiio'd.

>>106592666
Nobody read the guide though.

>>106593658
Already gone the first time it started tweaking, i replaced them with a fresh pair and it wasnt any better so i just left them off

>>106592105
u sure those are good? they cost $8

I read the EQ Guide AMA

>>106594524
how big is the dildo you ordered

What's the point of buying wired IEMs now that Apple solved the form factor the the Airpods Pro?

>>106594567
apple is shit. your opinion is shit.

>>106594567
airpods unlike earpods are zogslop

>>106594627
earpods are dogshit e-waste, too.

>>106594524
what this mean?

>>106594647
but theyre still the best in the entire category of earbuds which are all ewaste

>>106594766
All IEMs are e-waste. They're literally recycled parts being resold to EQ addicts.

>>106594879
also true

>>106594567
Because there's an entire market of delusional listeners buying knockoff monitors for musicians because they believe they can buy literal garbage and fix them.

e-waste doesn't exist, it's a meme

>>106594524
No you didn't. Nobody read the EQ guide.

>>106594508
It's all the same recycled crap.

>>106594524
why lie?
>>106594751
unprimed dogshit measurement

The most delusional part of the EQ guide is that the tranny who wrote it honestly believes he's not listening to recycled e-waste that he thought he could fix.

>>106594914
has anyone even managed to talk to xhem directly?

>>106594914
Seriously, he reiterates multiple times that his identity is a secret, you don't know who he is, nobody must find out, you'll never know, etc. It's a fucking tranny. Nobody has this much narcissism and delusion of grandeur.

>>106594908
>unprimed dogshit measurement
he measured multiple times, and all opinions state a more V-shape signature... even if it's not primed, it's unlikely they'll measure like the APP2

>>106594751
It means twshit, avoid.

>>106594751
>we want the negro audience

>even the most dedicated EQ guide hater can't say that it's wrong
That's how you know it's the real deal.

>>106594986
>he measured multiple times
unless he really knows what he's doing, which he probably doesn't, measuring multiple doesn't do shit
wait for proper measurements, we never know with these (even more so with only the coupler and no pinna)

>>106595018
nigga, he also measured the app2 under the same conditions, so relatively it's plain obvious. But yeah, im gonna wait to see the primed bass tuck and earlier ear gain

>>106595016
But he never read the guide, and neither did you.

>>106595043
stop assuming that the underlying dsp will behave the same
loser

Fully convinced now that whoever wrote the guide is samefagging like crazy under three camps and artificially inflating discussion around it.

>>106595052
saved your post so i can meme you when lilsister shares xer measurements

>>106595087
i'm ready to be wrong, we'll see very soon

>>106595072
All me btw.

>>106595132
Post your N+ account.

>>106592882
>L&P EA4
So is this what you settled on for a portable source and you still have other desktop source? Do you mainly care about how Storm sounds on the sources you test, or still account for other pos?

>finally get around to reading the chinese e-waste repair guide
>suddenly feel the urge to put on makeup and inject the 'moans
xirs... go on without me

>>106595683
I gotta say
You are severely mentally ill

>>106595072
samefagging is xer bread and butter, don't be fooled.

>>106595763
I'm including you.

>>106595769
oh, you think I'm doing it too.
guess we're all delusional trannies now.

>>106595785
Guess we always were, huh.

>>106595807
well..you got it wrong.

I'll fix my Chinese e-waste, you'll see. I'll EQ the nasally vocals out of my Ruta10, I'll EQ my Waner into a Waner 2 and I'll make my Zero2 have instrument separation and coherent soundstage. You'll all see, and I'll finally get my $0's worth.

>>106595978
did EQ I give you change anything? Why are you still crying like a retard?
Some of you people are so fucking mentally ill

>>106596013

>>106592666
If you don't have a full-range room EQd speaker setup you're never going to make it.

>>106596164
>speaker setup
for what?

>>106596197
For periodic pink noise 128k.

>>106592395 (OP)
If i like the Tangzu Wan'er 1st gen, will I like the KZ Caster Pro, or do I just get the Wan'er 2s

>>106596533
Castor Pro hands down.

>>106596533
I like my Castor non-pro ymmv. It's still a V shape but the 2DD (i guess one's a subwoofer) makes it less painful

Recommend me a clear-sounding COMFY pair of headphones for $25-$75 (or at least some headphones that are compatible with decent earpads that don't sweat like hell)

My Panasonic RP-HT-161 are starting to break.

I said $25-$75 so even if you wanted to you can't give me your hi-fi meme and even then I tried the hi-fi meme and it indeed is a joke, memes are a joke. If I hear one more retard say that specific brand and model of headphones are comfy I'll kill him. Shallowest metal band I've ever had, I'm surprised it even was metal, but if it wasn't then it would have broken instantly ... and I have a relatively small head.

>>106596197
for blaring touhou music while banging tinder sluts

>>106596552
Please explain, most reviews I've seen say it's mostly just a sidegrade in that it's just different tuning. Then again, it is subjective so it might be an upgrade to me.. hmm..

>>106596565
VX Pro if you can get it for $30

>>106596561
I find the Wan'er to be clean and crisp, it gets very boomy though, that's pretty much my only gripe with it.

Just wanted to let you all know that the AES September papers have been published on their website.
Since most are free to access, both I and Editor are not in a hurry to include it in the paper archive.

>>106594751
better bass
possibly worse treble but might have wide soundstage

>>106596574
>sidegrade in that it's just different tuning
that's literally every iem

You're talking about Sennheiser HD 600, aren't you?

>>106596596
woah more shit for nobody to read
