but the zs5 is now v2 which i don't think is good

ebay prices too high

why

don't buy on ebay then

ebay giftcard

for various reasons i have to use ebay

@Windatica why is the v2 bad

is it a bad idea to expect good sound from a sub-$10 iem

Sure, it'll be good enough.

thanks

ya but thats why you buy 1 $50 iem and not 5 $10 iems

i'm using my ath-m50 now

wtf

those are even worse than $10 iems

oh good, i wont notice then

but ya don't buy multiple cheap chifi

its not worth

ok

thansk

also, i'm not buying 2 for myself

most worth chifi rn is tin T2 on sale

tbh

So I got one of these bad boys:

Bad is really the word here, as one might have hoped for a BM tier treasure, they are unfortunately outright lousy with a stagnant background white noise and lacking abilities to catch either very high or very low frequencies.
Might post a more profound review in the thread later, but so far I can't recommend it.

@Sdeck37 ded link. coinkydoink?

Ah thanks, deleted a bit too far.

kz ed9 v. edr2?

ED9

hmm would getting with mic affect quality?

@Sdeck37 ty

i have had mic iems die

ed9 v ate?

brackets lel

nobody is retarded enough to buy two and compare

@Windatica i'm buying ate and ed9

ED9 is noisy when you bump the cable while walking

like vibrations and shit

Sound quality > ATE for sure

all of kz is

gotta wear em with the cable over your ear

ATE isn't bad when walking though but ED9 sound quality is better

(imo)

So I messed something up in my cable when doing autistic heatshrink mods

Now it has this really prominent white noise for some songs

RIP

What happened to the 10 or so IEMs KZ announced?

How's the KZ ZST?

Highs are shit and you have to pull them over the ear when moving, else they're fine imo.

Well, how do they compare to like OEM stuff?

I have no clue, they're far better than the <20 Sennheiser in ears and those were my last "western" ones before I jumped ship to chink shit

zst's are shit

phillips SHE3700 is way better

Just get LG quadbeats

I'll just assume my fiios are fukin gone

shrinkjob v2:

anyone have any ideas how to fix up the "loose" end of the heatshrink?

smaller heatshrink

but how do I squeeze it in there past the connector

goatse it with needle nose pliers

i dont think that's a good permanent solution though

because stretched heatshrink that is later heatshrunk doesn't hold its shrink well

thats literally what I did with this thing lol

I stretched it lenghtwise so that it wouldnt be as hard when shrunk

i dont know about length-wise

Get something with a much higher shrink ratio

Where to see that ratio

Just burn it more smh

burn it more, buy a new pair of headphones

How do even measure headphones on a strict budget?

You don't

Where do you get those graphs though?
I cant find a whole lot for obscure headphones

I do my own graphs

And how do you do that?

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

With a measurement mic

Just putting a €20 measurement mic into the earcup?

thats cool and all but too much work for me

No

I have a umik and a flatplate coupler for fullsize

It's not a standard so obviously isn't cross comparable, and doesn't have a pinna so it's questionable at best

I see, thanks for the info

Love you sweetie <:anime:338369166929035265>

Smhh the phonograph does headphone reviews
