it was awful though, decent for a first try, but awful compared to just buying a $1 aux

just dunk the end in acetone :v

or with newer stuff there's other scarier solvents

can likely also burn it off

i just burn it

but i try and avoid enamel whenever possible

it doesn't help that the copper is literally hair thin in some cases

Emery boards for nails work too

But you have to really work them, if you don't, the connection will have such a resistance you won't hear shit

And it'll be unbalanced

sounds like a meme

ZS5 vs ZS6

is it worth the extra few quid?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thanks for your input

@Adam W There's a coupon for the ZS6 that makes it $20, not sure if @Deleted User still has it

or if it expired

it expired

I had ZS6 in my basket all day thinking about it

now it's gone

It'll pop up again soon enough

iirc aproear says they're roughly the same in terms of sound quality, they just have different signatures

Aproear's a shill though

would normally a 3meters 3.5mm extension cable (from mobo back audio jack) impact quality of in-ear headphones (kzs6)?

yes

not much tho

can't make zs6s much worse

honestly all chifi reviewers are shills

nobody willingly spends that much on shitty sidegrades

even im fairly conservative compared to the ammount of shit people like aproear and audiobudget guy get

half the people in the chifi thread on headfi are shills too

head fi is being invaded by r/headphones shills for zmf and muddy bass cans

headfi was full of shills long before /r/headphones

zmf cans are gud tho

you get tired of the "eikon or atticus pls help" threads

i think there are like only 3 people who like the atticus more

everyone ive seen always looks eikon way more

which seems logical from the measurements

zmf is garbage

everyone knows wood is inferior compared to glorious plastic

i mean, youre not too wrong

MDF is like half glue, and is the most accousticly innert "wood" to my understanding

well you havent seen my wood <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

anyone know of an ali store that has decent quality coiled cables preferably with 5-6 wires inside it

currently my mic and headphone cables wrap and kink around each other and I want to put them in a single cable

You can DIY coil wire if you'd like to try

Or use stranded cat 5 <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

They seem to be ending for ~£55 on ebay

https://www.richersounds.com/q-acoustics-2010i-graph-pr.html

saw them for £70 here but it's instore <:alithink:327930371796893698> @bap#4956

I'm offering him £50, see if he takes it in a week if they don't sell

wtf is superlux hd681hr

i saw a fr graph from innerfidelidy but there's no such thing

I want some eventually

speakers?

i got somewhat lucky - i found two columns on dorm corridor, just had to make an amp (80 cents on ali for Class D 10W amp - more than enough, and then around 10$ for DC adapter, cables n shit lol)

Cant beat free!

Nice score

One column had its sub removed

@Windatica the HR is because it's a headroom graph, tyll's old employer or something

gross

this is cozy

same names from months ago

God the weekend takes so damn long when you're waiting for shit to arrive

Hopefully my ES3's and ZS5's come sometimes this week

i want my ZS3's so i can finally reshell these dumb drivers

What are current best bullet type in-ears

Lost/forgot my EDR-2 s

people like the dzat df10

the cable is utterly shit

4 months and it will break

100% guarantee

seller replaced one pair but won't do another

Yeah looks like shittycabling hit many

Are there any cheap chink daps that can run Spotify?

not really

the hizids AP200 might

but it has a high output impedance

so dont use it with any multi-BA iems

or anything with big impedance swings really

i think a few shanling daps *might*

actually probably not

theyre not android

Well shit
