```The community is vibrant and obsessive, with varying factions debating things like V-shaped versus U-shaped response curves, how best to plug the little vents in certain IEMs for boosted bass, or which aftermarket silicone tips are best. Audiophiles love to argue; there’s an inherent battle there between subjective and objective data, and trying to cram one of them into the other, and it ends up just being an insoluble infinite mess. That’s not a criticism; that mess is fun for audiophiles. ```

best iem under $20?

check the pins dead

how to check if mh755 is legit?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000087236949.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7c157396aOYEW4&algo_pvid=cc5de5ba-bed0-4f06-abaf-389b2a7084da&algo_expid=cc5de5ba-bed0-4f06-abaf-389b2a7084da-0&btsid=2bf2a29e-190c-4ccc-94b4-754afbe1e7d6&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5,searchweb201603_52

they are not, only legit mh755 bundled with SBH's

I've bought one from ebay from reputable seller of mh755's by themself without player, and it was a fake, tho everyone thinks it's geniune, lol

the fakes are still good tho 😂 👻 👀 👻 👻 👀 👻 👻 👌 👌 😂

well the supposed fake

by the way, bought 3 SBH24's, kek for 5 bucks each

I'd rather buy 5 copies of the same good fake than 1 good iem and some disposable electronics for $50

in my case, i've bought them cheaper than if i would buy fakes, kek

if I was in your case then its clear to just buy the real thing

im confused

should I get kz zsn then?

if you're okay with the wonky cable on the mh755 then buy a [supposed] fake from eBay using one of the sellers in the pastebin

else buy some kz garbage/blon bl03/tin t2

the thing is I wouldn't even know that they were fakes that I bought from ebay, if I would've not bought original, kek

tin t2 tbh

tin t2 is not <$20

what is the lowest it has been?

like 29 dollars/

like 25?

mh755 from ebay are still good, but not as good as geniune ones, that tbh are 40$+ kek

i'm still trying to find that one set of earphones. they were popular around the end of 2017

tfw they stopped making ve monk

monks suck

start with s, and they're colored grey and blue

worst meme

don't know if you guys remember them or not

hows vido

i'm still waiting on mine

i gotem for 27.72 burgers

should i hold off on the tin t3

its $2 dude

oh you meant tin

I don't have them but if theyre the same as yincrow x6 which is what people say then they're very good, if they were not earBUDS then I'd use them everywhere

vidos are really good for being 2 dollars

are they even good compared to the stock shit that comes with phones?

yeah

i'll increase my budget and just get the T2 then

the only problem with vido is the build quality

tin t4 coming out soon too

bit worse than most of the chink earphones out there

Monks still pop up on Assdrop every now and then

Headroom MS16

that's what they were called

holy fuck

what about them

those ones were so good man

yeah I think the ms16 had a new revision which made them worse

https://www.amazon.com/Venture-Electronics-MONK-earbud-earphone/dp/B01J0S4AAS

really detailed sound

x6 is vido with better cable

aliexpress.com/item/32417311324.html

i'm gonna try and buy them again

looks like it would hurt ears

upper one is from ebay(kanoya)

you nippon

?

nope

nippon is the one who sells fake mh755s

bought 3, one for my brother, one for myself and the third one is unopenned, incase.

are you gonna do the mod

they're USB c? I thought they were micro

yes they are

usb c

they are selling the tin t4 on indiegogo on the 11th for 79 burgers

nah, i won't do mod for now, unless I will rip the wire, heh

I think tws memes will surpass iem ones shortly

like before the end of the year

unless someone makes more tws adapters

??

what about shit battery life

3 hour run times are like the standard

what exactly do you do for more than 3 hours where you need music all the time

3 hours for me is a bit short

but i didn't know that was average... O_O

I mean this is 3 hours continuous run te

oh

not charging in case

i watch a lot of youtube on my phone

heh

3 hours?

yeah

and listen to music of course

then again, its not that deep with the charging case and all that stuff

Galaxy Buds give you up to 13 hours of play time - 6 hours of charge in the earbuds, and 7 hours in the case.

lets look them up

Your AirPods Pro can get up to 4.5 hours of listening time8 or up to 3.5 hours of talk time on a single charge.11

toothbrush pros

🤣

actually the galaxy bud run time is very impressive, they're really small

how to choose which time to load in

nice. oluv has a review of them

i do actually have galaxy a70

The battery life of the Mpow T5 is also terrific: you get 5 to 6 hours on the earpieces, a

OK nvm

it seems like 5 is the standard, idk where I got 3 from

5 hours

ok

that's pretty solid

bought vido for now

hopefully its better than my apple earpods

Aperrently you could buy the ry4s with a detachable cable now

Any opinions on the moondrop nameless?

are there headphones out there that are wireless but have an option to be wired?

as in, I could detach the cable and go bluetooth only?

but also plug in at times

<:blobthinkingfast:427569198886027264>

maybe not

sounds too bulky

anyway, real question is.

Cheap and good speakers

Edifier R1280T/R1280DB (bluetooth version)

about $80/$100 respectfully

Look for them locally

If you want to go even cheaper, buying used is your best bet

🤔

<:pepewot:589100642820161551>

I just used the under 30 preset

works fine enough for me

What app is this?

Samsung sound customisation

viper4 pretty good alternative

So what's the go to TWS, too many options these days? MPOW T5? QCY QS2?

What Bluetooth earbuds would y'all recommend for $30ish? GF wants them to listen to YouTube and ASMR

chi fi decide on a desktop speaker for me pls, compact for a small desk

yeah what TWS do people recomend now

i want to buy a couple of pairs as gifts lol

qs2 prob

@bentech @maito

Ty

QS2 but the Haylou GT1 is on 11.11 sale i think

check <#287939846662651906>

What flathead earbuds should I get for 11.11? I've been using the Faaeal Snow Lotus 1.0

T4's are comming tomorrow

They cost 80$ but you get 20$ off with the coupon code on the linsoul website

Inb4 not as good as the t2

crin said it was a gr07 sucessor

https://crinacle.com/2019/11/04/tin-hifi-t4-unboxing/

```With its discontinuation, I believe that the T4 is the GR07 successor I’ve been waiting for all this time. That comes with the usual slew of weaknesses that the GR07 had, but the T4 manages to outperform it in certain aspects still (bass for instance).```

im curious in the full review

as well as the blon review, although ill never get either

someone was shit talking crinacle in the audiobudget server because he didnt praise the blon bl03 *enough* even though he said `It’s not a giant killer but I can call it a $100-$200 killer purely sound-wise.`

Can i use an unbalanced cable in a balanced port?

i dont think so

actually you might

if its wired like in the 3.5mm it should be possible

but if its 2.5mm its not

unless you use some kind of adapter to connect L- and R- together into gground

goddamn

it's an 2.5mm

balanced is a meme anyway

yeah, but takstars 82 pros got those

i dont think so?

oh actually it comes with a 2.5mm trrs

`The 2.5mm TRRS connector is wired internally so a balanced cable can be used when plugged in.`

neat

still doesnt excuse the fact that balanced is a meme

"can", huh

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32736006455.html $2.72 Sony tips 👌

regular price $3, you're not saving much

considering they're Sony tips and are sought after I'd say they're a pretty good deal

it's only a matter of time before they run out/get removed

I don't think those are real Sony tips

I got Sony tips from nicehck(?) and they were definitely not genuine, super trippy and irritating

how much do they normally go for?

are the real ones actually "worth it?"

also any replacement cable suggestions for tin t2

iirc you can get real ones for $10 by buying a cheap Sony iem but I'm not sure if it still exists

Oneodio Studio and Studio Pro are the same, right

Pro just gives you a pouch...

@Windatica review pictures show Sony branding though <:thonkang:327933449597878312>

implying that China can't fake that shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWdD206eSv0

🅱ony

If they intend to sell them as counterfeit why wouldn't they openly say they're Sony branded? Perhaps these are made during those night shifts like with the yeti mugs last year

or perhaps they don't expect morons to know what real Sony tips are like so its easy to fool them

maybe, won't know unless you try <:chinese_think:323022148870602752>

anyone getting cables? what you getting

my T2 cables still haven't bite the dust so I think I'll wait a bit

@Arcrinato they're not the same

Different drivers

Different pads

Damn too late <:hms:311152554618912768> the color I wanted was only non-Pro

Welp copped qs2 for $15

@Julian where

@aylmao https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32985227564.html + some coupon I had

Is there really much difference QC2 vs Mpow T5?

Mpow seems to be double the price

are spinfits worth the price if I'm more or less satisfied with my current tips?

no

they increase comfort but if you are already ok with your current ones might as well stick with them

so it looks like these are the new ms16s on aliexpress

going for 3.54 gbp

what was wrong with these, again?

I lost my old ones and those sere great

<:FeelsBadMan:589103983558393857>

if only they weren't open back

still rocking my t2s

excellent decision to buy them

the revision change changed the sound quality @[Warrior of Ferocity] Shugesh

i had the old ones, they are not that good i'd say

get the cheap sony mh thingy instead

ik ms16 is open back and i'd say dont care about it too much, just get an in ear one

@Windatica ahh

do you know what changed

honestly i like the open-back sound

just feels more like i'm using over-ears with the natural sound quality

idk

supposedly worse though

i will buy them

are se215 really as comfortable as people say? you can sleep on a side with them and not feel them?

yes they are the best

in terms of comfort

t180s have a similar shell

https://www.amazon.com/AUDIOSENSE-Earphone-Detachable-Audiophile-Balanced/dp/B07S6SXS36/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=t180+iem&qid=1573505317&sr=8-1

shame about the sound

i think ill just geet a clone like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32811351131.html

but yes the form factor on shure is great

chink ones seem to have good reviews

im sure the sounds not great but build is decent

@lidl papi pls do a review when u get em

<:alismirk:230784726615588865> <:aliOK:251417852156837888> will do

also bought a bunch of mh755 from different sellers a month ago, when i get them ill post which sellers sell legit

I'll get those too

why not

just received my KZ ZS10 Pro

sounds a bit better than kz ate

both are lacking bass thou

what am I doing wrong?

anyone using MIUI uses the sound enhancer option?

@Glas never knew about that

where is it

whoah found it

basically an equalizer i guess

whoah i put it on general in ear and my tin t2s sound different yet awesome still

are the qs2s the biggest meme now

whatever ordered one too

A meme to be sure but a welcomed one

My only regret is getting the black and not the white version

Ordered two

@spaqin qs2 ~~will soon be~~ is the next cirlejerk of csg chifi

i guess it will only rise in price

They are straight up the best true wireless memes I've had thus far
