  1. Kiwi Ears Chorus
    So i brought a new pair of IEM (in ear monitors) and they are great no brilliant well TBH I haven't had time to do a full review but for the price these IEMs are a good price. So the spew from the website is "The Kiwi Ears Chorus is a collaboration with B_Media. B_Media is an experienced audio reviewer with an expert sense of IEM tonality, praised for his no-nonsense critique of I

  2. I find this series by the #HeadphoneShow very interesting.
    They go and measure how their head and ears exactly influence the sound they here.

    youtube.com/watch?v=W9gWIu3EP84

    In one of their videos they recommended that you should try a frequency sweep after using the AutoEQ feature of squig.link

    Through this I think I realized that I might be quite sensitive to treble.

    The green line is what feels comfortable to me and the dotted line is a target that many people feel comfortable and in some areas it is still a bit much for my ears.

    "If you are after a budget IEM with a genuine personality, a functional tuning system that actually gets used, and a bass response that steps away from the typical IEMs in this price range, the OP-22 at $34.99 makes a very compelling case."

    Great new budget IEM!

    OoopusX OP-22

    "Another cool Mech-inspired IEM from OoopusX this time with two distinctly smooth bass tunings via its tuning switch."

    CrinEar Reference: We Have Arrived

    "CrinEar's most natural sounding IEM yet, Reference delivers an all-around exceptional package at a scarily accessible $350 price tag. TL;DR? Worth it."

  11. Bought a (used) #KZ #IEM (a ZS10) because I wanted to try something with good isolation for work. Its metal grill thingy immediately fell out from one side, so I spent a good 30m today cleaning it with IPA and putting micropore tape in its place. Also took off the remaining grill as a preventative measure and swapped that too.
    Not sure why, but that fucked up the balance, the right side sounded like 3 times louder than the left. Tried to apply the tape in different ways, swapped the tips too, took off the tape from the right side, reapplied it, cleaned the left again, etc.
    Now after a lot of trial and error it sounds mostly balanced, but idk what fixed it.

    Anyways, glad that I could #repair it. :neofox_uwu:

  12. Figured why not, especially as this is probably as cheap as this tier of #IEM s is ever going to be now #earphones #audio

    Meze Astru Review: Titanium Build Meets Audiophile-Grade Sound
    majorhifi.com/meze-astru-revie

  19. Yep, after a couple of years loving the idea of ChiFi IEMs and landing on the Blessing 3 I've gotten my hands on a Technics AZ100.

    I can't tell the difference in detail between the two now that I've gotten some foam tips for the AZ100s.

    So I guess it's ebay time for the IEMs, bluetooth DACs and whatevers.

    It was fun while I was placeboing myself into the idea that big chonkin buds sounded better.

    I'm probably just too old for this crap.

  26. So I ordered my first , a chu2. Now I need to find something to listen to music on, but DAPs seem really expensive. I'm thinking about buying a midrange phone with a headphone jack, just to listen to music. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  27. Z początku byłem trochę sceptycznie nastawiony do dźwięku moich nowych #IEM AFUL explorer, szczególnie po przesiadce z Truthear zero:red, jednak po paru godzinach słuchania, już się przestawiłem. Dużo cieplej, bas dużo bardziej odczuwalny, góra łagodniejsza, przy trip-hopie czy ambient techno bardzo przyjemnie grają, wręcz genialnie. Nu-metal i hardcore niestety troszkę gorzej, brakuje trochę detali, mimo wszystko raczej redy będą służyły jako laptopowe słuchawki. Oczywiście design samych słuchawek też na duży +. Redy w mojej opinii są po prostu neutralne, mają inny dźwięk, niekoniecznie gorszy.

    #Audio #hifi #music

  28. Question for the  #musicians using #iem for band #rehearsal and #live shows. What kind of iem are you using? Does custom mold make such a big leap in isolation? Or even the diy way of generic iem to custom mold like this? m.youtube.com/watch?v=lBJqPh8r

    Background: I’m currently using a #diy #earmuff with headphone speakerrs in the cans. I also have generic iem, but even with the foam tips, my cymbals are blasting so loud behind my kit, that I have to crank the iem. Which I definitely don’t want to do. The ear muffs are chunky and if I play fast, they get really sweaty. Maybe there is a smaller and more comfortable way.

    Boosts are welcome

  29. #AudioEngineering #IEM #audiophile
    They're taking the complete opposite extreme position but even I have to admit that this is pretty funny! 🤭😕🤷‍♂️

    In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator

    "Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?"

    Potem "magicznie" głośność spada, żeby było słychać aplauz 😜
    To dotyczy zarówno areny jak I transmisji

    #QoA #Adonis #IEM #audiophile
    Listening to these for the past 2 days. Still consider them one of my best sets. They were really overlooked and prejudged based on false premises. The frequency response graph is intimidating but misleading. Thick rich bass, organic natural mids, pleasant and musical.
