fuk

i mean, its kind of more of a higher tier rather than updated

it fuckin miles better than the old silver cable

and even that was miles better than the stock

this one is super smooth

microphonics still isnt amazing but eh

measurement spam time

Fonge S500

Essentially a Fonge T01 in a worse feeling but better fitting shell with more mids

and more bass

suprisingly wide but otherwise not great technicality wise

some "Waterproof Headphones HIFI Stereo Bass Earphones"

honestly might be the same driver as the fonges

same mediocre technicalities and mud, but with closer tonality to the Fonge T01's

🤢

a nother unbranded iem

now for the grand finale https://puu.sh/y7sjV/deebc9f62d.jpg

i need not speak for these

@HEKTIK link for the silver cable? Also those super Mario iems are dank

listing i bought got taken down

just search for KZ silver cable

it should come up

its some mad multi braided shit

with a silver 3.5mm jack

How much roughly did you pay?

These ones?

yeah them

i paid just a bit over that cause ebay

@HEKTIK that's no good

what

hes insulting ur ebay purchase lmao

Any OK noise-cancelling headphones at Ali? Just need a pair for work, QC or the Sony ones are too expensive for that

@Droidbot i just take advantage of ebay coupons

most of it ends up bout the same if not cheaoer than ali

@Alfadir nah

chinks dont do good anc

best to buy a used bose

Aight:)

i got an old qc15 for $20

tho they go for like $100 still so im pretty lucky in that regard

So, Fonge S500 or T01?

t01 for fit, s500 for sound, though both are pretty bad

in terms of sound

honestly a KZ ED9 thrashes them all

I really liked my $0.01 S500s

but the left side died

I guess I'll get another pair

Can anyone recommend earbuds that have aren't silicon, but have that hard plastic exterior instead to put in your ears.

KZ ZST pro

Unless you mean the buds themselves

ZST suck

he doesnt mean iems tho

@KingRedbad If you care about sound, Yincrow X6

if you don't, VE monks

Aside from ZST, what are the best value iems?

Thanks @HEKTIK I will buy them now.

monks blow

cheap ear speakers made by a turboautist

@Windatica pls no trigger

I like my ZST...

I wish I knew more about the charts. I'm not crazy into audio

the higher the better

pic related, its hd800

👀 you roll up the mountain and die

Can anyone reccomend a good dap for around $60 ?

Does anybody know of any decent wireless earbuds? Been out of the loop a while.

Preferably independent, i.e. no cable between them

AirPods ­™

@FLAK44#0182 Try and find a used Shanling M1

@FLAK44

If not, a used Fiio X1

Benjie T6 maybe

any dac's under 30$ that isnt the zishan z1 and pcm2703?

love the zishan z1 but the delay is really annoying

oh youre using the Z1 as a dac

why not a pcm chip tho?'

some of the higher end burr browns have really nice specs

the pcm has this noise at all times

maybe i just got chinked 🤔

that's just a shit implimentation

if you don't mind not having a housing, i got a SA9023 + ES9023 DAC for like $19 AUD which works nice

and has a pretty damn low noise floor

slap it in an altoids tin if you care about a housing

otherwise there are a few cheap dongle dacs

no idea how they perform

but sabre chips seem to be pretty easy to impliment other than the whole glare issue

but you probably wont hear that unless you have a lot to compare with

do i find the SA9023 + ES9023 on ali?

dunno if its on there, i got it on ebay

lemme look 1 sec

price went up a bit

but i still like it
