first for best channel

WELCOME NERDS (and dont you dare to say that mods dont do anything for you)

windatica was first though

sorry

he's op

true

tho technicaly i was first but evidence went missing :3

you could try ghetto rigging the ecmcs3 onto a sort of boom

due mods are rampant shitposters :P

ewww

bamboo stick hotglued to headset

and ecmc to that

you can afford a bamboo stick?

:P

its not the price i just prefer Price:performance:longevity ratio to be high

and hotglue costs more than bamboo sticks

thoo~ i could machine my own arm for it or 3D print

but so far best option has been https://www.thomann.de/gb/superlux_hmd_660x.htm that

only thin is that it needs that darn mic-amp/boost

pic related doesnt

dohoho

please click it

i do have EDM2s

>delete server<

got those fonge t01's on order rn to finally get a measurement of

too bad i destroyed mine in the name of science

now i have a neat empty shell

i got mine for like 1 USD

"gee i wonder if AKG has headsets" <https://www.thomann.de/gb/akg_hsc_271_02.htm>

......

dat price tho

akg is just a ripoff of superlux though? <:alithink:327930371796893698>

first

cute

also i did not know until recently that you can get 2pin kz cables for like $3 a piece on taobao

and also they have a braided, non-stock varient for like $6

i got that one recently

looks super nice

im going to be putting a gr07 driver into a zs3 shell so i figured i might as well

also is there anything like cheap xlr-mic amp in the world

yes

what does not burn my house down

just search phantom power supplies

or find a used audio interface

or just wire something yourself

not a particularly complex circuit afaik

ye and i have basic automation engineer background so it should be easy but im lasy

this would give me reason to get some shitty mixer tho~

cheap behringers are all over the place

i copped an older xenyx or whatever for 20 AUD

yeah xenyx series is cheap as fuck even when new

and then grab a UCA202/222 to acd as DA/AD conversion

though a cheaper interface would do the same

as in like a used focusrite or whatever

here-was-link-for-usb-behringer-xenyx

apparently their USB ones suck

ahh thanks for the warning

though I don't have any reasoning beyond that

gonna have to do some research yourself

a used xenyx and a uca202 is still a fair bit cheaper tho

or just a used cheapo interface

funfact with any of those sets the setup would cost more than the headset

are there any good bluetooth memes?

my audio port is broken on my phone so i always use bluetooth

you could use a small little DAC

but most people probably dont want to

uh

i dont care either way really

could you show me a picture demonstrating the setup?

kris bluedio N2

is the dac connected to my phone via bluetooth?

something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/HiFi-PCM2706-ES9023-OTG-DAC-ear-decode-one-machine/132270459618

conntected to your phone via an otg cable

it essentially acts as your headphone port

hmmm

smaller ones are good since theyre light enough to not bother you

are the quality affected?

I do have an EQ app on my phone so I can adjust

maybe ill try out a chink bluetooth headphones and report back since it seems no one had gone for it

or they may be dead from exploding battery

no, the quality will be fine

hell, probably better

But it won't affect bt quality

Dac is in the headphones

yee, you dont need it for bluetooth

Ah, as a replacement for headphone port

I scrolled up

Makes sense

I use fiio e07k with my oneplus 3t, quality is much better even for Spotify 128k

But that's a different price range lol

damn

how much was it?

and probably much bigger than he would like

70usd?

It fits in my phone case but it is bulky

you arent using an e07k inline like you would the dac i linked

the problem with these gadgets is i'm quite scared to bring to the gym bc it might get damaged

i have an e18 strapped to my phone lol

Gym doesn't need quality

Yeah strapped xD

Get some bluedios for gym i would say

So your USB port doesn't get damaged

By some unfortunate twist

😦

i sweat like a mofo

oh for the gym, just get bluetooth then

wires are annoying anyway

oh shit new channel hype

yee

I love the name

headphones on aliexpress is the same price as on amazon?

Cheaper

shit's no longer cheap

depends what headphones

Superlux? Bluedios?

tbh i would probs pay £5 extra for 1 day shipping

generic bluetooth sport headphones

5 good boy points is a lot

I made that much in an hour

thats actually around 75 nuggies

god bless Lidl

Don't buy generic

I am a programmer

Lol

where are you from?

Poland

rip

I can pay 50 cents for tracked shipping, that's it

has its pros and cons i suppose

ive been to the local polish shop, they have quite nice frankfurt selections

👌

Btw is this a legit brand? https://www.gearbest.com/sports-fitness-headphones/pp_356162.html

Meizu makes legit phones

meizu is known but that doesnt mean a whole lot for sound

is there a way to check 1 star review on gearbest?

Interlocutor.

fck it, i dont have the GBPs anyway

thx for help

@Gerboz >1 star reviews on gearbest

laffin

any 1 star review doesn't make it to the website, or they edit it to a 5 star review and remove any negative comments

Still curious about these

@HEKTIK http://helloear.com/products/arc

http://helloear.com/products/pro

HelloEar Arc Earphone
$149.00

oh

that's my interest gone

@Windatica TWELVE SPEAKERS http://helloear.strikingly.com/store/products/74498-gaugin-12-spreakers

thats light

"The technology of Gauguin is so complicated. You can’t imagine how difficult it is to print a perfect metal replica of the ear"

"No, we don't know how it works"

at least it looks somewhat original

Follow through on the link

then scroll down to see their price pop up

I just get shunted to the front page on the app

try your pc

@Windatica to be fair marketing and engineering may as well be different companies.

@Tribit ew its just a singe BA

anyone get the ZS6 in the psot yet?

I got mine a couple of days ago

i aint getting that pos anytime soon

they aren't that bad

they measure worse than the zs5

which already measured horribly

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIFI-Fever-OP03-Full-Discrete-Component-Field-Effect-Input-Dual-Op-Amp-Module/272709867331

lol

https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/1more-triple-quad-driver-iem/361A7231_20170929135903.jpg

fancy

Massdrop?

If it's massscam then it seems like around 150$

Yeah

but they're by 1More

The cable isn't even detachable

1More made some quality IEMS though

Massdrop is indeed like scam-tier garbage, right?

Sometimes

I ordered Sennheiser HD6XX for 200$ from them

That was a decent price tbh

Nothing special, but still lower than normal

It all seems too good to be true.

The stuff that isn't known name brand I mean.

Ah then yeah

Most of the stuff is cheaper on Ali

@Arcbat they're not scam tier, they had some great deals in the past. These days they just rebadge chink shit as exclusives

like different coloured shell VE Monks

toothpick crossbows

And often good brand stuff is sold cheaper on amazon

Good stuff comes rarely nowadays

massdrop is a scam

"muh exclusives"

just come out and say that you're an edgy design firm

>design

Just come out and say you're a chink reseller

There have been a lot more chink-resellers lately.

Like in general.

Because China started making good quality stuff for cheap

Fuck. The chinks are winning.

How to win at capitalism

Be communist and by be communist I mean you pay your workers literally nothing and keep all the money?

This can go in <#189466684938125312>

Recommendations on over ear headphones that don't sound terrible but are comfortable for extended use?

From what reviews I've seen posted the OneOdio Studio headphones are quite comfy

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Yenona-Studio-Pro-DJ-Headphones-Professional-Monitoring-Headband-Headphone-with-Microphone-Hifi-Headphone-for-Mobile-Phone/2412040_32705349478.html

I'll check em out

@Arcbat Superlux 662 EVO after solderdude/frans' mods

Im using HD668b, sounds good and pretty comfy

Most people replace the pad though

wew bidding on some cheap ety hf5's

also got a bunch of cheap ass iems to measure

including both fonge memes

reeeeeeee KZ HDS1 were discontinued

lasted me close to 2 years

any similar?

they seem to measure pretty similarly to memt x5's

so i'd recc those

memt more like meme

yee

issa good iem tho

my go to rec for a warm cheapo iem

better than meme zs5

??

sure measures better

technicality wise i dunno

im not getting a zs5 until it gets really cheap

like sub $10 on gb or whatever

if it's cheap it's probably v2

yeah

no real point having the v1 though since nobody can get it

i guess i could simulate it by desoldering one of the BA's though lol

I've stopped recommending it to normies at my school cause of the v2

too bad too cause I daily the v1 and they're easily my favorite iem

they're only rivaled by my creative aurvana lives and my defunct hd 668b, and without the comply tips they're uncomfortable

Superlux is great unless you are a bass fag

Cuz if you are you will be disappointed

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, dont have your discussion here.

pls

😭

is monoprice a legit meme

Is it chink? If not then no

what do you mean

monoprice 8323
