As someone who ripped and ruined the pleather layer of the cushioning on my old headphones, I would advise against any sort of tape usage. Velcro, on the other hand, seems like a better idea.

Great that he drew the frequency response on top of his name.

I wouldn't believe it either if I didn't hear the difference when I put one on top of my vinyl record while it was playing! The veil was lifted and I started hearing residual infrasound frequencies from the birth of the known (and unknown) universe!! Now sure, I could be biased but even my wife could hear the difference from three air tight nuclear blast doors away!!!

>Though, my problem here is putting them in my ears feels like going under water and I hear everything that touches the cable or my chewing and breathing very loud.
This is pretty much how it is supposed to feel like. It is a side effect of the isolation from external noise you get from IEMs plugging your ears. I got used to it pretty quickly but obviously different people have different tolerances.
>On another note: my ears also screemed in pain from active noise cancelling and I cannot find anyone else who experienced this. Maybe my ears are strange.
Yeah I'm very sensitive to the active noise cancellation hiss as well.

Reply to Did anyone in this hobby ever stop buying new gear because they found what they were looking for? by sujanfloofens
Coming up on a year since I last bought audio equipment(desktop dac-amp). I'm probably done for a while. My go to is still moondrop aria. Maybe I'd purchase a headphone if I were in a less noisy place but that doesn't seem on the cards.
These days, I keep tabs on new releases only to recommend (cheap) stuff to friends and family. Or to know what to replace my current hardware with if it ends up breaking.

This is why you don't re-encode from a lossy original.

There's way more non measurement reviews of audio equipment out there than with measurements. Maybe IEM reviews are the exception.
edit: I know this sub doesn't like audiosciencereview but this video on frequency response and psychoacoustics is good, if a bit dense

Having a headphone jack on your device doesn't automatically kill your bluetooth connection to your favourite wireless device. Having both on your device doesn't impede improvement to wireless technologies. It was a trojan horse because it was presented as an either or scenario. That you were getting something new or better in exchange for the loss of the headphone jack when that's just not true. Same with the longevity and repairability of TWS earbuds in exchange for the convenience of no wires. It is possible to make a product which fulfills both criteria yet it's being presented as an either or once again.

Did you know that the headphone jack came by default on most phones before apple decided to get rid of it on the iPhones?

Again, I get why people want wireless audio. That it will (and already has) become the default is a forgone conclusion. You don't have to convince me of the value of something which is already the default.

What's for us to do in this equation? I already said the popularity of wireless audio is the status quo.
>does enough people really care?
What if they do? The only option they have to continue on with their convenience is to keep buying new ones.

The popularity, convenience or (eventual) quality of wireless audio is not the thing in question. It's a sugar coated poison pill, a false choice. Same as trojan horsing non user replaceable batteries via water resistance in phones or removing headphone jacks from devices to create and grow the TWS market. It's not an either/or.

I'm hoping for that moondrop and fiio entering the over ear headphone market brings prices down in general.

You should try it for a longer time if you can and see if it makes a difference for you.

The section at about 16 minutes seems to be relevant to your headphone impedance. If you're not hearing any noise or distortion at your listening levels then you should be fine.

Reply to What is your experience with the long-term reliability of IEM replaceable cable connectors? by [deleted]
I have one each with the qdc, 2pin and mmcx ones and I have been using all of them on and off for a while. No issues with either so far. I'm most worried about the mmcx one because that's the one I see broken most anecdotally here. Don't know if it matters but I don't wrap cables while storing IEMs.

>Ya'll are in an abusive relationship with audio gear. You keep buying and buying and buying, even if it fails. Then, you just post a pic of it.
Speak for yourself pal. I'm not the one who blind bought 3 of the same item. And as /u/MachineTeaching mentioned, have you tried to get those fixed? Must be under the warranty period at least. I understand wanting to vent but why not try to get it repaired/replaced/refunded.
>That is it. Just wanted to shout into the void and probably get attacked by some angry kids that cannot handle the truth of their favourite brand being shit or whatever.
Maybe divert some of this anger toward the manufacturer/reseller and try to get them to fix your broken shit? Just food for thought.
