The shortest path is the detour

Witness her

You have to get pretty close to hear it, it's not a room filling sound at all. And you cant tell what's playing, juat that something is. The isolation, however, is below average. Like maybe 20% worse than s12's

I think I'm at end game, but there will be overtime when the Fiio FA11 is released lol

It's already a bit silly to buy a whole new amp to pair with one iem. Thank you for warning me tho, the allure of expensive gear is strong

Yes, headphones with less punch than your previous pair are notoriously hard to adjust to. But, every time you're listening you're adjusting to them

Other people post on here to say how bad their first real headphones are because the sound signature (balance of bass, mids and treble) is different than their gamer headphones and they assume the headphones are garbage

You also need time to get used to hifi

You can't make that big an upgrade and change in sound signature without needing to invest some time with them and it seems like you can intuitively tell that.

On the volume issue, your computer needs to work twice as hard to drive them because of the 80 ohm impetus. A cheap headphone amp would solve that problem if it's a big deal to you. They use juice from the outlet to deliver a high enough charge at 80 ohms to drive them.

Welcome to the best hobby my friend

A cheap 50 dollar amp for my planars is what convinced me to get more into this hobby. I for sure heard a big difference

Then using a 100 usd tube amp changed things dramatically again. It warms up the sound to a huge degree. I bought the biggest tube with the most harmonic distortion on Amazon. It's very pleasant to listen to

Today, I'm going to test the 125 usd Schiit amp with my pure BA iems that i dont necessarily want to sound warm... if I ordered the right cable adapter. Hopefully the pairing is good, I'm expecting big things

"Transmigrated to a fantasy game- like world where they have super advanced audio magic called raycon, but it does not play mids so I pumped up the bass and treble to be booming and piercing"

The first mid head

This is the funniest shit I've seen in weeks

I agree

I had a problem with my HE-400I'S where i would be listening to hip hop and the massive sound stage made it less tight

My reaction to a good sound stage is "oh, that's kinda neat 😐". (Iem supremacist)

Have you tried bi flanged? My ear canals are too wide for most large tips, but bi flanged fits like a dream

Unless it's cum of course

Both my canals are wide enough to put my thumb in, so the music just goes right in with an iem lol

I impulse buy too, dw

Why these headphones look like they blew up Alderaan?

Fire the bass star

Yeah, budget earphones are such a competitive market that you need something to stand out

I do have one, but I kind of wanted to make as an extreme difference as possible without ruining the bass

But I'll just get over it and follow your suggestion because my idea massacred my zex lol

Fair enough, I tested it on my regular kz zex and even with a bass boost I couldn't really hear the bass well and it lost a lot of detail.

I looked it up because of your comment and according to Fiio, longer tube means better low pass filter, so I guess I would just be losing functionality

If you like them amd are satisfied, then that's all that matters. Enjoy homie

😳 you got me thinkin now 😳

Bdsiems

The iem cables are also blindfolds and chains

I agree with that, I go lights on if I'm in a good mood (never)
