cheap shit
I'm looking for something that can potentially block out loud sounds of my roommate playing awful loud movies, while not being desynced from videos or just being shit. I was looking at sony wf 1000x but some seem to say they're not comfy. All the "true wireless" buds are apparently shit if reviews are to be trusted. I was thinking of some 65t potentially since I could get them below 150 but I do not think they offer decent sound isolation etc.
>sound cancelling
Its a meme.
At 200 there is a better meme: the BGVP DM6 which is pretty much endgame. Customisable with very good sound isolation. Penon audio are pretty much the only ones with those still in stock. Its a very good UIEM ergo design so its comfy and if you can shell out the extra buck they'll even make it custom fit.
ER4 can be had for less than 200$, and it's about the best passive NC you can get with IEMs, but you definitely can't sleep with them (that's a bad idea in the first place), they are wired, if you get ER4S, they can be quiet with your phone due to pretty high impedance.
why do people sleep with earbuds/IEMs ?
Why would you subject your ear to such torture ?
it fucking ruins your hardware too. Even if it helps you sleep cant you people use speakers at least ?
>why do people sleep with earbuds/IEMs ?
Have no idea. Sleepy time — it's time to rest; and ears should rest too.
More importantly it will likely ruin your hearing
>but you definitely can't sleep with them
I sleep all the time with Etys inserted. They are flush by my tragus normally.
Just happen to be tired with them on. I don't listen to music to go to sleep.
Painful how?
>Pick your color for only $8!
where?
Are they really worth 200 (since I didnt mass drop obv.)? They seem quite new and unknown so I'm hesitant. What exactly do they boast over most?
Usually sleep with ambient noise or asmr. Reason why is due to loud living, but I do sleep w/o. At the moment though it's been ridiculously loud and I absolutely cant sleep, hence why looking for some "noise cancelling" iems. Ide use headphones to not destroy my ear holes but they're just not comfortable to sleep in, and that's basically their entire use for me.
thanks fren
They have fotm cred
Also they're bright
just get fucking musician earplugs then.
The BGVP Is a good brand and the DM6 are their absolute flagship. There's a bunch of reviews from lots of reviewers and even those who are quite hard on chink brands like them. Its definitely worth 200 when you consider the raw value of the hardware, build quality, sound signature and even more so after considering other options at this price range. Its Ety's or this. Ety's are known for being not so sturdy though.
I mean, they don't look bad. Don't get me wrong, I like what I see, but I just want to avoid loud noises. I may get some typical musician earplugs till I find something. At this point IEMs don't seem to be a solution, noise cancelling headphones seem to be way better for what I'm looking for.
Active noise cancellation is only good at blocking at constant droning noises such as engine sounds or humming, buzzing sounds. It won't do much good against your roommates sudden loud noises.
>Panasonic RP-HJE120. Pick your color for only $8!
These are the most overrated cheap in-ears ever. They are reliable but they don't sound good enough and they don't have a good build.
best silicone tips for hje-120? the ones I have on now are a bit stiff. also, anyone know of a good tip for the piston 3? it has a pretty narrow bore (4mm)?
BGVP DM6 is the best
>IEMs are memes and painful
gay person spotted
yeah they absolutely do everything andromedas can. Nice custom shells.
Whos the red gril?
>tfw my DM6 will be here Monday or Tuesday
>inb4 chinked again
They extended my buyer protection so I think it’s legit this time. If not I’ll dispute.
oh no no no
>he's gonna get chinkd
>is measured frequency response also part of technicality?
It essentially is, given that it dominates what is heard on earphones.
>mh755 perform well too on THD (compared to $1K+ flagship headphones and BA iem)
Harmonic distortion will normally be dominated by lower orders, which are not readily heard. This complicates using it as a quality metric. Audibility is frequency, level, and signal dependent, but second order at -20dB(10%) would normally be inaudible. A convenient fact for the use of compression horn loudspeakers. Higher exponents are a problem, but these are normally very low as long as you do not drive the unit to its mechanical or current limits, and avoid voice coil rubbing. Though there are types of modulation not made obvious by single tone test, it is not too difficult to reduce the distortions of dynamic IEMs far beyond reasonable thresholds at any ordinary level.
>their phase is almost identical both side.
A matched phase will normally follow from relative matching of the sensitivity curve. It would very difficult to do otherwise with only a single driver and no electrical filters.
>their CSD has no alarming resonance issues
This is a difficult one.
First, you have to ask yourself what you looking for. Mathematically, the CSD doesn't show you anything that wasn't already in the frequency response (device sensitivity AND phase) or the impulse response. It provides no new information, but a different visualization could make something easier to see. While not all devices stick closely to minimum-phase, sharply focused peaks are intrinsically connected to long and slow decays. Think of it this way: the Q in a parametric EQ means how tightly focused a resonance/filter is on a frequency, but it also means how long it takes the energy at that frequency to decay. The energy build up is determined by the amplitude of the peak and has to be dissipated somehow. Fast over a wide bandwidth or long and focused.
There are other things to look over.
What brand would you recommend for custom IEMs?
64 audio
ikko oh1 equal performance at 2/3rds the price xDDDD
Make your own it's fun
This.
Can someone actually answer this question?
Not
>lol just buy over ears
>no you didn't calibrate your chink shit properly
>lol wtf you're not a music producer? Why even buy audio equipment?
Can someone just fucking recommend a good pair of EAR BUDS.
earbuds are degenerate.
>buys literally cancerous Chinese memetech
>calls other people degenerate
airpods
Airpods are nice but I don't want to recharge every couple of hours.
I basically use earbuds all day
well that was your answer because earbuds are shitty so no one makes them
>earbuds are shitty
>but shoving Chinese flash drives into my inner ear is totally awesome
Maybe the entire headphone industry needs to step up
you're shoving chinese flash drives on your ear when you buy earbuds too, any earbud you buy will be made in china you absolute fucking retard
Yeah but, for instance, an airpod:
>isn't a clunky piece of shit
>is actually comfortable
>doesn't actually get shoved INTO your ear canal but rests at the end of it
>actually has fucking quality control over its production
>actually has support if something goes wrong
For Jow Forums autists I would expect that you would understand why chinkshit is distinct from companies in America that just outsource to chyna
i'm not sure how you could possibly come to the idea that something you plug into a headphone jack then put in your ear is somehow more clunky than pairing a wireless device
>apple has support
loled out loud thanks, also this is 4channel not Jow Forums IDIOT
I would prefer a wired earbud, bud.
The airbud was just a suggestion.

>>le iem didn't have any comfort.
what is eartips size.
>>doesn't actually get shoved INTO your ear canal but rests at the end of it
nope, airpod has literally same insert depth as most iem. except for deep insertion like etymotics.
ry4s is good though, or some ty-hiz
ba is cool, but lack of treble extension. they drop after like 14khz.
chink ba is worst, as10/ba10 for example, drop after 12khz.
and for that 96kbps mp3 is enough.
they are made for hearing aids and monitoring anyway, and there is no point using ba iem for high fidelity listening.
mh755
>flat
mh755, flatter than your piercing and boomy m40x.
their fault is only short cable.
uhhhhh what, ba iems are way better for high fidelity listening than dd iems, you sound like someone who's only experience with bas is bad chink shit, there's a reason why hybrid iems only really use dds for bass
Bluetooth or no?
I can get a donglr
no. don't forget ask for SN when buying to avoid counterfeit. also buy 2 or more per seller, so you know when the SN is legit.
i've demoed n5005 beacuse muh harman target. but still, they have roll off,
and the target itself has roll off.
but in term of sound signature, multiple ba is superior than most single DD.
Get the SBH24 then, you get a BT dongle and the bundled MH755 is guaranteed legit.
other ba iems i know is shures, and 1more triple driver.
1 more can be bright, instead of smooth bright of dt770 250 ohm, it's sounding like dt770 32 ohm. cymbal sounds like stuttering.
but 64audio tia is interesing, but nowhere i can demo it nearby.
the n5005 is shit and sounds like it was tuned by a robot to match the curve and shipped and knowing harman that's more than likely exactly what they did
Alright thanks
SN?
Sorry I'm new to this
But hey it matches the curve which is the only thing that matters when it comes to SQ thus it's perfect and better than anything above or below its price.
While i hate harman IE target treble, their OE target is perfectly fine for me.
mh755 and hd600 is pretty good for me.
serial number, if you buy without Bluetooth.
Ah thanks
the target itself isn't bad, but harman's mentality of the only thing that matters is matching the target is a joke, see this graph people keep posting that was literally them measuring frequency response and rating them based on how it follows their target without even listening to anything
>RP-HJE120
Gayshit. RP-HJE125 or nothing
>was literally them measuring frequency response and rating them based on how it follows their target without even listening to anything
because of listening/perception job is done when they developing the target itself.
Because when trying some headphones/iem, looks, price, and comfort bias is there.
both are interesting, those could be the porta pro of iem.

I believe I owned a pair of $15 KZs that some user recommended me and they were the best sounding earmemes I had ever used.
Looking for a high quality on the go option that I can use while walking. Was looking at headphones as well but I think I like the form factor of earshits better.
>looking for most bang for buck
mh755
>I can use while walking
shures, any over ear detachable cable iem should do.
it ignores the fact that 2 similarly tuned iems can sound different just like how the n5005 doesn't sound that great compared to other iems you can buy at the same price despite the fact that it's tuned to their target
>This meme again.
>2 similarly tuned iems can sound different
are you referring to same product (A), or same tuning claim(B)?
A: er4sr vs er4sr
B: diffuse field tuning, basically all etymotics except for XR edition. er4p vs er4b
Been using these for a few weeks now. I'm not a crazy audiophile but they definitely sound notably better than the MEE m6 pros I've been using.
Surprisingly comfortable especially compared to airpods.
The control scheme took some getting used to to work out the delay required for how many taps you're inputting. It's like imputing an old console cheat code where you need to do it at a certain tempo or it doesn't work. It was fine after a few days though. I will however never understand why they put answer and deny call on the same ear, and made answer 1 tap, and deny 2 taps.
i'm talking about b not unit variance
Yes, even hd600 claimed diffuse field tuned, and hd800/s too.
while they sound completely different.
beyer did claim diffuse field too.
Maybe they have different/non industry standard measurements system for tuning their cans.
M6 pro definitely has boomy sound, how's that compared to those Sennheiser?
I agree completely. The thing that surprises me the most is the imaging, they are razor sharp and accurate across all frequency ranges.
Any flipfags know about the specs for these?
you know those will be shit. no high end earbuds are as good as their asking price. don't have specs tho.
Does anyone wear earmuffs or headphones over their iems?
It's only $20 so I feel like getting it for shits and giggles.
mh755 are kinda shitty desu.
why would you wear headphones over iems
Earbuds are for audiophile that didn't give a fuck about general acoustics and electronics.
Kind of like it or hate it stuff.
Good for isolation. It's tiresome.
Just realized dmg and dm6 are different thing.
So, newer kz foam has inner hard silicone wall now.
It's worth it for 2.5$? basically disposable by the price.
Megumin from konosuba
>there's a iem general now
What happened?
I can attest to the Wooeasy tips being quality. Another user in a /csg/ thread said his KZ tips were shit.
hpg is stax and staxhaters shitposting general, csg is sick of iems, so here we are.
How's these ones called? They look neat.
thanks user. do you know any tips like symbio but from ali?
didn't look like megumin for me.
kinda skeptical with jvc. For me jvc to ath is like qkz of kz.
do wireless earbuds with >20 hour battery life exist yet?
No
>hpg is stax and staxhaters shitposting general, csg is sick of iems, so here we are.
So it's another exile
>How's these ones called? They look neat.
JVC HA-FXT200 Ltd, bought them 3 years ago and they still hold themselves together very well, though a few months ago I had to put some glue on them due to some cracks showing up.
>kinda skeptical with jvc. For me jvc to ath is like qkz of kz.
I bought jvc because I was a hipster back then, but according to reviewers they were very good for the prices
that sucks. I'm really looking forward to the day when I can just wear wireless earbuds all day long the same way I wear my corded earbuds. When I'm not plugged in to my computer, I'm plugged in to my phone.
>qkz of kz
QKZ is the lowest tier of chinkshit.
