why buy iem over headphones in a recording environment

Most over ears i have heard dont have any sub-bass. IEMs are good for bass monitoring.

and

If you are going to buy airpod clones buy the i10 tws.

AWWWW HELL NO

its i10 tws or bust. those are the ones we bought and recommend here. The rest are worse than dogshit, no idea about the new i12 either here the store i bought from

T400 or T500 for T2s?

i use T500 on my T2. Its important to point out the sizing refers to the inside diameter of the foam tip and once they squish in your ear the T500 isnt necessarily any bigger than the T400

MY EARS ARE WHORES. .

Attached: HTB1j7DHKFXXXXaeXXXXq6xXFXXXu.jpg (990x299, 47K)

T400 is the most common right ?

are these memory/comply or usual foam?

Memory.

good, i wanna order some of them, because i have silicone tips and wanna try foam to experiment a little with them and want them to sit more secure.
Using ZS6

yes t400 is the most common. It has 4.9mm internal diameter. Most chi-fi IEMs have a ~5mm ports these days. Also why earlets complain their ears hurt. The port diameter is much bigger than used to be. Its the actual IEM causing it not the tip.

T400 stock foam. bulk colour. bulk price. highly recomended everything else is a rip-off IMHO

About to buy the KZ ZSN because I've heard they're comfortable and sound nice. Comfort is really the biggest thing I care about.

What idiot at Ali Express thought a drop down menu for city would be a good idea?

Just copped Anker Soundcore Liberty Airs on Amazon, hope they're good

>KZ ZSN

nope get these they are better sounding, made out of metal l and use foam tips above if you want comfort

audiobudget.com/product/TRN/V80

reminder that foam will expand against your ear canal causing stretching and pain, they are not for comfort

>Better
If you like rape treble sure.

Too bad they're $40 on amazon

Thanks for the tips "tip" hahahaha
Bookmarked it.
Wanna order them in some days, together with a lot of other stuff.
I guess i will order two packages of them multicolor one in "s" and one in "m".

T420

Do I pull the trigger?

Attached: fullsizeoutput_264.jpg (1125x1126, 402K)

they are US 25 on ali that was your budget thats why i recommended them to you !

aliexpress.com/item/TRN-V80-2DD-2BA-Hybrid-In-Ear-Earphone-HIFI-DJ-Monitor-Running-Sport-Earphone-Earplug-Headset/32892982905.html

Nice. the point i was trying to get across to /iemg/ is that T400 is the internal diameter and T400 comes in small medium and large sizings. I believe the stock blue T2 foam tips are T400 Large.

unironically what mine get used for

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll probably order the v80s tonight. I was trying to say that I prefer amazon cus I dont want to wait a millennia with Ali.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF looks like im still getting mine from Penon... time to get a mould made.

ali has been pretty speedy lately but it is chinese new years which is the absolute worst time to buy :/

>but it is chinese new years which is the absolute worst time to buy :/
now you fucking tell me

yeah, i got that with the inner diameter. The ZS6 have 5.5 mm nozzle outer.
According to the listed up size compatibility list, i need either the AT400 or the TS400 in whatever color that they are available in.

> now you fucking tell me
i really didnt want to lol... your looking at 6 weeks instead of 4 .... i usually save up and do a big order during the aliexpress anniersary sale in march or singles day on 11.11

My Revonext QT2 have 5.5mm port and the stock T400 i linked to work just dandy

Attached: IMG_7159.jpg (3264x2448, 1.49M)

consider buying the Revonext QT2 next and maybe the ZSN as well. Wanna collect and experiment.
But very recenty, t´KZ came out with a ZS7, but i haven't heard anyone having experience with them.
Maybe they are too new to have reached here.

>KZ ZS7

Seriously dont. Look at this fucking shit. Look at all those BA drivers in the ZS7 ! You dont need that many BA for that part of spectrum. Its all just marketing shlock. Fuck KZ

>i really didnt want to
just like you don't want to tell people the qt2 has qc issues that causes the iem to stop working over time while you shill it every thread? i don't understand why anyone still listens to anything you say when it's clear you're a complete fucking retard

Take my QT2. If you look at how the sound is split its much more like a real hi-fi where you usually wanna split the bass energy up. Its the main reason i got them.

subbass dynamic driver - bass mid dynamic driver - mid high Balanced Armature.

On paper these make much more sense, its just sad the cable is total dogshit and people have had QC issues.

> someone bought chinkshit and it broke.
abloo bloo

I bought pair and abuse them. My friend bought a pair for him and bought a pair for his son. ALL FINE.

CAVEAT EMPTOR

several people from this thread have all reported the issue, even people on audiobudget the site you love to shill report the exact same issue, even YOU reported having symptoms of the issue and said there was a qc problem then when confronted with it later you tried to pass it off as oh i just had an ear infection teehee. why are you still pretending this isn't a widespread problem and not just random chinkshit breaking? like the only reason to shill something this hard is if you're getting paid to do so

My DM6: Custom moulded.

Basically beats my Andromeda, for a much lower price. Fit and finish is really good too and it greatly expands the soundstage and detail over the universal DM6.

Zishan user, what’s your current top five?

Limited run model btw. Something like 3000 units.
It also has horrible driver flex.

I honestly cant figure it out whats going on with QT2 and lord i tried. Yes it happened to me. The fact it fixes itself is maddening. Its not electrical. I think its something physical either sweat or pressure build up pozzing the BA.

I just really like them. I have been looking for their sub-nig-bass for sometime and they hold it together at extreme volumes.

Awww dude im so incredibly jelly all i wanted was piano black DM6. I was gonna go stock but i think you might push to go for a custom mould. Im interested to hear how you think its expands the detail. I was just expecting you to get better bass coupling through the custom shell to your ear.

Ill be waiting months now :(

im probably not the guy to ask there are a few anons that have bought alot more iems to review than me but ifound audiobudget has been on point

super cheap -> expensive i have owned sony MH775 , memt x5, trn v80, T2, QT2 are all very good and beyond that its DT500 and DM6

Westone 3's circa 2013 (without removable cable)

Looking to get some new iems since the cable on the 3's is done for. I like them a lot and only paid $150 for them. Would like to stay on the same level or upgrade as far as audio quality is concerned

If you can wait, the DM6s would probably fit the bill.

What do you mean by wait....like shipping speed?
Where would a good place to buy them be?

hmm.
it is become muddy and strangely far away sounding.

What are you testing exactly user?

BGVP is still backed up from the holiday order fiasco. The soonest you’ll get yours if you order right now is March.

I thought I would never experience the hype the DM6 gets but it's real.

Suprised they haven't been killed by the yuKZa mafia...

eqing mh755.
first one is andromeda, second is solaris.

Moondrop crescent and be done with it.
If you wanna go super cheap there is always Sony mh755 which are actually better then ALL of chifi stuff bellow 50$ that I've heard, except the Crescents

that's not how eqing works

And if you can't wait, moondrop kanas (pro) would probably be the best pick

hmmm, why?
i have andro and solaris measurements from crinacle overlayed (not showed).
not aiming to be very accurate, but just to get general idea how is the sound signature like.

because you're ignoring how the completely different constructions and internals influence the sound, you can't make an mdrv6 sound like stax

hmmm, that's why:
>not aiming to be very accurate, but just to get general idea how is the sound signature like.
and i think iem is not that far each other than over ear headphones because of ear, driver angle, enclosing, etc.

Uploaded my measurements to googoo drive.

All right you hacks, what is the best budget iem for max 60 that doesn't have earraping treble and sounds good out of the box.

avoid kz and multi driver ba meme, because high chance of peaky treble.

crescent
e2000/3000

why is these reference totl iem has these kind of sound?
is these iem has something to do with how stage floor monitor speaker sounds?

best album for your daily isolation needs.
relatively neutral to dark feeling/atmosphere.
no beats, which is perfect for focus.
only downside is need strong subbass iem to perform well.

Flat bass to mimic diffused field tuning and rolled treble to prevent fatigue. This would be ideal for a stage monitor and not much else.

GR06, RE-0 (really liked these), currently have some fake Shure 215s I got off ebay

I've been recd GR07 but I'm hesitant since my GR06s died in less than a year of use. Also BGVP DMGs but havent heard enough about them to pull the trigger

SO WHO IS WATCH CORE HERE ?

My $9 bluetooth cable came in the mail (again) This is actually the 3rd one i have purchased so its time for a review. I gifted the first one with some purple yinyoo pro to a girl a year ago. Then i got second cable i barely used because i was in full DSD mode at the time and when it accidently went through the wash it wasnt a big loss. Third times a charm and i forgot how awseome this one is.

Review: Its cheap its plays LOUD and sounds really good. No Apt-x but it has AAC which is good enough for my iphone 6 and samsung gearfit 2. The thing i really like about it is it has some sort very mild loudness curve built in. Im using it with the T2 and there is just the perfect bass bumb giving them a bit more weight for electronic music. Took it out this afternoon and got 3.5 hours out of it. Such an incredible novelty cycling piping AAC from my watch ( its got 2.5gb storage). Great on my debian macbook air too. I am way too much a wired snob i regret not replacing this little buddy sooner. Would REC

Are you BGGAR? Or someone else? I swear there are too many Daytonfags now

If you read how Crin measures, he specifically says he has an 8k peak due to the way he measures.
>Expect a resonant peak. This peak exists around 7-10k and is affected by insert depth. If you are not sure what I'm talking about, don't try to be smart. Ignore frequencies above 7k until you do

Very alarming. You are the stressed out student from a few threads back right?

>How do you find out if an MH755 is legit or not? I dont have the equipment to measure frequency response

No one has actually shown proof of any fakes but if you are that paranoid shine a light on the tag while looking at it from an angle. Some invisible numbers will show up.

Ah and you should replace the stock tips. They are shit.
