Reply to comment by Noob4Head in Custom 64 Audio A6T IEM’s ordered and waiting. 7 week build time! by Titan_456

They are not. Especially customs. There is a reason custom IEMs are not common anymore with enthusiasts. Horrible (I mean BAD) resale value, cannot share them at meets, and no significant sound upgrades, just better isolation.

I had custom 1964 Ears V6 iems and my Tin T2s blow them out of the water. I would never buy customs again.

I see. Like I would assume that at some point you have reached a certain limit on how good audio can sound in IEMs. Of course the sound difference between a $20 set and a $100 set would be noticeable but I've always been curious if the sound difference between like an $100-200 set and a $1000 is also that noticeable.

I think $500 USD is where the diminishing returns curve starts to take effect in IEMs these days.

I see, for now I put the line at about $200USD for audio stuff.My most expensive pair of headphones are my HD 5X jubilee's and I love them. The Moondrop aria snow editions I also really enjoy but yeah you can get about 12 pairs of those for one pair of these.So yeah that was why I was so curious about that.

Shit I wish I was rich, I wouldn’t have to work 750+ hrs of overtime a year to make a living.

Naw, I like money. The overtime is for the slush fund. I’ll keep buying what I want. Can’t take money with you when you die so why not spend it.

Haha that's fair, I've got that too.
Though I always try to be a little money conscious but I do treat myself to something since from time to time. That's why I got the FiiO K3 and the Moondrop Aria snows.
