is there any reason why this depreciated format is still used in $CURRENT_YEAR besides retro nostalgia?

no

@Deleted User hoardi- I mean collecting

you should use cds instead.. see the magnetic data stored in hard drives can be corrupted with background radiation but cd's have that shiny surface that block radiation waves

vinyl is better because ⓡⓞⓤⓝⓓ ⓢⓞⓤⓝⓓ

360 degrees of sound versus 2 degrees

Why would he use those amps when he's got a Schiit Stack.

I have this, is there chi-fi I can get that'd be better?

Considering it's Sony, it'll sound good

But the cables will break fast. And erm

Not sure

I don't have EX450's.

damn, $40 IEMs

@Millwood budget?

I dunno, just throw something that's better at me

tin audio t2

I'm just researching for now

TIN Audio T2 (I should have bought those instead of these meme ZS6's I have), TRN V20 (They sound a bit better than most Sony buds)

andromeda

think of all the $$$ if you just got them in teh first placer

-900

I didn't know about chinkshit when i got them

TRN V20 has the standard chi-fi connector for iems, right?

I mean, my first real pair of earphones were KZ ATE, then KZ ZST, Sony MDR-XB50LP (Which, sound pretty good, I just hate the cheap plastic cable), then TRN V20.

It's somewhat standard

Bi-pin 0.78mm

KZ uses bi-pin 0.75mm

t2 uses mmcx

mmcx is the most used stanadard then?

MMCX is better, too. More cables available, so you won't have a hard time trying to find replacements if the included one breaks.

You can buy MMCX cables for <$10 USD. Good ones, too.

Oh well, in any case it's easy to get replacement cables so no problem whichever i evenetually get

TIN T2 is best bet then

Next time I buy earphones I'm getting them.

Probably be in a few months since I gotta save up for a Xiaomeme phone but hey

same

I'll probably do the same

what xiaomeme phone are you saving for

Redmi 5.

tfw saving for the a1

not gonna be buying iems with non swappable cables ever again

yeah if they break you're fucked

Ditto. I may shit on China at times for making shitty stuff, but if you know where to look you can get some pretty fantastic shit.

Detachable cables were the best thing to happen budget earphones and IEMs.

Anyways, from what I know, TRN and QKZ use the same cables.

bi-pin 0.78mm

qkz is a shittier oem that has a mix of their own original products and stolen products that are rebranded

i wouldnt buy anything from them

TRN is supposedly made by ex-kz employees

Their QC is on pair with Pre, and post-hype KZ

so not good at all

Nope.

kz zs10 wtih a

but you can turn driv ers off

lul

turn them all off for true sound

IEMs with fucking dip switches

holy shit

are you still enjoying your zs6

Yes, I just had to turn down the 10KHz range the nth fucking time

.

"yo hol up homie lemme turn up my 9th and 10th drivers"

At least I could dampen my ZST's

These?

Some twat at the manufacture plant decided it was a good idea to epoxy the goddamn grill to the nozzle.

Normally it's just regular old sticky glue like my ZST's or ATE's.

Soundstage is good, clarity is good, bass is good, treble? Snares hurt.

I can only use them on my computer or smartphone since they have EQ's. My MP3 doesn't.

Just waiting on foam tips, and hopefully TX-500's mellow out the sound enough for me.

wtf

Z reviews is a cool guy expect for his wallpaper taste

yea i guess

He praises the philips headphones for their value yet HEKTIK says its garbage

fvuckign

so many people shill them

they're pretty much pointless in europe imo

They don't even sell them anymore

Cheapest I could find was a €144 from germany

yeah

considering you can get dt 880 or akg k702/kwhatever for the same price

Dt 8/9 or a Nice pair of akg

Superlux if you don't mind a little eq

k702 are 120EUR on amazon.fr

dt 880 are 160

Whomst

the shp9500 are awful

Damn so I missed a nice deal

i like how the feel on head though

How bad?

i've had $10 iems sound better

Shill me your current setup

eiaosi x6 titanium massdrop

$3.70?

its an old joke, eiaosi x6 are bad

@AstroJannah what

they''re still that price now

no they used to be 2.70

thats how much i paid

they used to be shilled really hard for no reason, but they're not good

Nah I have seen one deal on thomann or was it bax music?

Uishit

wat

ill prob get a pair of dt 880 used as my next headphone

always wanted to try them

Jokes aside, shill me the actual iem or headphone

You tested and made an infograph about "mutation pronuction units" so you probably know better <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

yincrows are really good, but fuck my ears earbuds are so uncomfortable

really the only chi-fi i can recommend is t2, yincrow and zs5v1

Tin iems usually get shilled too?

tin t2 got measured well

Hmm, hopefully kz or some other company will release the next meme

<https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/88gfie/anyone_with_the_tin_audio_t2_wanna_talk_about_them/>
<https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/8g6vns/back_to_chifi_and_the_comeback_is_real_tin_audio/>

```Overall, I think picking this up is a no-brainer. It's a well-tuned IEM(s) regardless of price, and it's an incredible deal for $30. I will be using these a lot, alongside my Andromedas and HS1551s as daily drivers. ```

I could wait until the end of summer

"Top brands" usually have a mid year release cycle

are you american"?

they probably won't go below $40 until 11.11 smh y2k <:blobsweats:427568683003412505> <:blobconfounded:427568418107949090>

11.11 maymay

11.11 is real for chifi

super real

Bluedio releases a new headphone for every new 11.11

ya but bludio sucks

for now though, for now

They can compete if they want

But rather take the beats/bose way

There was a edifier headphone with 75+ hours of battery life right?

are the hd 6xx identical to the 650?

http://www.thephonograph.net/edifier-w806b

Well looking forward to the xiaomi headset

It has that autistic USB c cable for audio <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

fuuuuuuuuck my ms15's went out in one ear

that cable had zero strain relief

@AstroJannah xiaomi headset?

Xiaomi gaming headset
It has all the memes

that looks pretty cool actaully

I'm tempted to try it out, but I doubt it could beat Cloud II's.

yeah

but t

they

look so cool

That's why I want them in the first place

hihttps://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/product/g560-rgb-gaming-speakers

rgb speakers dudessss

Probably sounds like shit but gimme anyways.

I don't think I'd buy anything from Logitech unless it's mice or keyboards.

@Windatica For the isolation, all you need is the tips that come with the ROCK zircon. The zircons are very cheap, so... shouldn't be a problem. That combo is the ultimate combo, and makes ANY other chi-fi IEM pointless (IMHO). Also, Tin Audio are working on a T2 PRO, that will have more bass (if that's your thing), so you could wait for those to release as well.

is this true

not at all

zircon has shit tips

Zircon are shitty tips.

does it make any other chi iem pointless

i can't speak for other, more expensive chifi but i will say this

it did not strictly outpreform the zs5v1, but it was equally as impressive

thats p good tbh

zs5v1 is different characteristically

fun, very narrow soundstage, its very different to what i've listened to before

interesting

only 10$ as well

wat

Wait, which one are we talking about?

zs5v1 is like $16

id get a pair but that's violating my no chi-fi rule

but its discontinued

yeah i meant the zircons

oh no

zircons are.. not bad but not good

oh lmao

i was talking about zs5v1

Was just wondering what you were comparing zs5v1 to

tin t2

oh lmao

t2 are a really solid well-rounder, its not overly sibilant and if you don't like bass just don't do the mod

yeah ill rpob get a pair of t2 come a sale

You got TRN V20's to compare to Tin T2's?

I'm still looking at getting a pair, eventually.

i wish i had CAL or gr07 to compare them too but i don't

i have a picture of what i have, i'll post it again

thats a good point acutally

why dont i just get a gr07

its twice the price? i like being an OY VEY

3x the price actually

$36 * 3 = $108, for gr07 detachable

i wish i knew what gr07 sounded like so i could say "hey just buy a t2"

oh yeah

twice the price

ok

yeah ill just get t2

m

i really need to get my tfz kigns working again

whats your biggest regret

everything in the top 4

so zs3 , monks

dunno bottom 2

the bottom left is some generic garbage, bottom right is eiaosi x6

es3 is weird, out of my computer it doesn't have piercing treble, out of my phone or the bluetooth cable it does

not sure what OI is for any of my sources

Oh, yeah, forgot to say

I ordered Yincrow X6's.

Should be here in a month.

Got the ones with the upgraded cable, too.

Nice

I want to see how they sound, it's been a while since I've used earbuds

upgraded cable?

The same one you've got.

i think they all have the same cable

I noticed some Yincrow X6's come with a super cheap cable

wat

they're all the same price except with controls is a lil more

Well, considering I just use most of my shit on a PMP, I don't really need a mic or controls.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-YINCROW-X6-3-5mm-In-ear-Earphones-flat-head-earbuds-professional-fever-HIFI-Earphone-without/32805616914.html

That's what I ordered.

I think I went a little overboard on that price though.

Wat

...that's legit the same cable as the $10 one, just.

You did

I'm retarded.

Vido are the ones with the cheap cable.

Same earbuds difference cable tather

Different

They're like 4$ though

*shrug* I think I could have got Senfer PT15's for the same price.

also vidos don't have accessories

Could have got yincrow RW 9

those are almost twice the price

Alright, so, I did hwtest2 on my 64GB MicroSD, and my AGPTek M20, both came out okay. Set everything back to factory settings, then updated firmware.

Now to load it up with music, or put some test tracks on the card.

Just to make sure it's working okay.

Save yourself some trouble and money, just get the Massdrop+

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

that's a weird way of saying ue19

How long until the tin t2 are around 30usd again, all the listings I see are 50usd

They're getting memed left and right, I can't take it anymore

its $36

and never

never EVER

probably on 11.11

Hmm wait 6 months to save $14
