So..I these normie buds finally came in (cmf buds 2a) and they sound…alright
Not bad for the $28 I paid for them. The presets are all pretty terrible except for DIRAC but I found custom to be the best. Unfortunately it’s only “bass, mids and treble” which is weak but I found that just a downslope is the best with +2 bass, 0 mids, -2 treble. Turn off the ultra bass.
Then it sounds pretty decent tonally. Treble-wise it’s somewhat even but with a 7-ish khz peak. It’s ok. I’m not upset for what I paid for it.
>transparency mode
not great. It has a slight hiss and accentuates atmospheric highs. It does work but meh
>ANC
actually surprisingly good. I think they might sound better music-wise with this turned on than without ANC.
Maybe skip this pair and go for space travel 2 but i doubt the software and ANC are on par with these so if you’re a normie these will suffice and sound good enough….wish I had a coupler to graph these things
