Need one with particularly good soundstage. I was about to pull the trigger on IT01s but heard they're too closed.
Anyone have pic related? Fiio f5

What's your previous IEMs ? Budget ? What music do you listen to ?

Julian Carter
Hey fellow frenchman. The closest thing you are gonna get to real neutral is either the tin audio T2 on sale at 20€ or the final audio E3000 at 50 bucks. The T2 is brighter while the final is darker. The final doesn't isolate at all though. The T2 has a replaceable cable while the final doesn't.
Xavier Morris
Default earphones that came out of the box with my phone.
Nolan Ross
anyone recommend some super comfortable earbuds for my tin t2's?
tried spinfits and comply, not impressed
Nathaniel Robinson
I use these all the time. they're the best. Great buy. Wear them in the car, the mall, the grocery store, listening to books and shit. Best stuff.
Isaiah Reyes
Unless they fix the abhorrent audio lag, I won't be touching a wireless anytime soon.
Jayden Wright
I experience no audio lag when using those.

Thoughts on KZ AS10? Looks like it's one of the best iems for the price.
John Scott
what's the bluetooth cable for the tin t2 called?
Sebastian Wilson
They sound great, best KZs to date
>But
While they sound great, their price causes them to lose their value compared to IEMs that are in the 80-120$ rage, since they're more expensive, but better enough to justify just going for the next level of IEM quality, instead of the AS10s weird transitional pricing
I'd recommend just getting something more expensive and less Chinese that aren't shures
Doesn't matter, any mmcx Bluetooth cable should be compatible

>cx400's and a bunch of other sennheisers, hifiman re400, final audio heaven ii
I really just need a pair of decent earbuds to use with my pc to watch movies and shows, but I cant use my cans because they're open, and I dont like hearing shit and having others hear my shit
My last ones were my 2nd pair of hifiman's, fuck those, the left cable broke where it connects with the mic control after not even a month, and recently it just died
I couldnt have treated them better, they literally sit on a side wing of my desk, plugged, the only movement is me picking them up and putting them down, never even rolled them
I might just go for Sennheiser, they lasted a bit back when I treated them like shit, now they should last me a while
the one thing I didnt like about them was how little the actual earbud was
Joshua Ward
get Tin Audio T2
Colton Adams
I think a more V shaped earphone would be more appropriate.
Sebastian Allen
Vsonic GR07. The classic version with a detachable cable.

I'm a plumber, and I use a jackhammer to dig all day so I need something that is really good with drowning out that rattle. Also something that sits in the ear snug would be ideal so they don't fall out. I listen to everything from Knocked Loose, to Death Grips (unironically), and even audio books sometimes.
I'm very inexperienced as you can tell by my current selection of headphones, help and scolding for my dimwittedness would be appreciated.

Prefer hanging due to wearing glasses.
>Sound signature
I don't know. I know that I really like my sennheiser hd555's and my VE monks. Those are the only references I have and I don't know what their sound signature is called.
>Past IEMs
none
I just need something cheap-ish to throw in my bag. I frequently work in libraries and archives, and when there's researchers around I can't leak sound so the monks are out.
Cameron Peterson
Yinyoo V2
Gavin Hughes
This budget is way too low if you want to get any sort of isolation. The sweet spot is around 150$.
Cooper Hall
Are those different from the tin t2, or just a rebrand?
Kevin Collins
Completely different.
Matthew Cox
These are my current IEM:
>Rock Zircon
Sound nice and really comfortable, probably the most used
>Piston 3
Great build and sound IF using an amp or on my desktop, not really on my phone
>Yinyoo Pro
Best sound overall but I hate the bulky design and over ear cable placement
What should be my next step without breaking the bank? I keep seeing the T2 being recommended left and right.

Depends. Fill out the template please.

Are there any non-chink iems worth considering below +-35 euro, or should I just go for the Tin T2's and call it a day?

what is the equivalent of airpods for patricians ?
Elijah Reed
Fuck off /hpg/
Then yes the T2 suits you well. DO NOT fall for the T2 pro meme. It's significantly worse.
John Long
Surprised it is still king in that price range. Guess I'll wait for the 20ish bucks sale.
Ethan Perry
Not him, but how does the T2 compare to rock zircons? I'm torn between the two, because I'm assuming the T2's are overall better, but I can get the Zircons from amazon for 10 bucks less so I won't have to wait 3-5 weeks for chink shipping.
Xavier Taylor
What's wrong with T2 Pro?
Adam Wood
Has more treble and sibilance for no reason when the original was near perfect already.
Ayden Nelson

Carson Thompson
I have had three pairs of Zircons and all of them failed within 6 months. They sounded good for the value a few years ago but kind of aren't worth it now. It's like if someone recommended you buy a Xiaomi Piston 3 now (which I also had and enjoyed but lasted approximately 1 month before shitting out.)
Jaxson Lewis
Patricians do not use wireless but there's still some decent options. The mifo 05 balanced armature version is fucking great. There's also the TFZ X1 rebrand that's identical but with a different color scheme.

Easton Reed
You want the Revonext QT2s
T2 is too neutral for electronic and pop IMHO
i agree he wants the QT2
GR07 MMCX edition is really expensive though :(
> BT T2 ?
I got you familam
Thomas Walker
What's up T2 poster
Andrew Hernandez
Any hissing or other noticeable effects on audio from this Bluetooth cable?
Christopher Powell
Fuck off Zishan. The QT2 are sibilant as fuck and is totally unsuitable for anyone that's not a basshead. The GR07 is better in nearly every way and is in his budget. Stop shilling.
John Bailey
KZ AS06 is a much better version of it IMO. But in both cases, they still lag behind the T2s by a good margin.
Jaxson Price
Name of the watch?
Samuel Harris
what cable is that on them T2s?
Nathan Reed
Anyone tried any of the Fearless Audio iems?
