mmcx is a trash connector tho

we need a readily available non proprietary low profile screw in connector

JH's one is good but its proprietary

mine used to pop out on KZ ZS3 but ZS6 keeps it locked tight

thats just kz having shit qc

yeah probably

i tell you what is a trash connector tohugh

the propietary linum connector

dont go near it

i had like 3 linum cables break all around that connector

linum bax cables are supposedly really supple but they have a super high impedance

so fuck anyone who wants to use em with ba iems

linum are ok

i dont think they're worth the hype

then again ive never been bothered by a regular cable

the kz cables make me want to die

the stock cables at least

i have a gian fucking roll of them zip tied together

theyre dogshit and i hate them

the new kz silver .75 cable is nice tho

lmao

i wanna reterminate to mmcx and use with my er4 adapters

i remmeber someone on reddit sayin to get the upgraded silver cable for the zs5 lol

its a good idea in terms of comfort/build/lack of cable noise

and kz has been known to have a high rate of fucked cables

yeathink i had the zs5 stock cable

wasnt great tbh

there was a zst measure comparing the stock cable to the silver one

the stock one measured like ass

though it was just that one cable

thats gotta be a really shit cable lmao

my silver cable measured identical to the stock

what do you use for measurements?

imm6 + 8mm vinyl tube as a coupler

same as crinacle if youre familiar with his measurements

pretty standard budget-fi setup that isnt a veritas or a 711 clone

intrestin

it doesnt have the same bass sealing issues that those other two have as well

since its not a reference plane based cone, and is an actual canal

my measures come out breddy well

nice

what audio gear you got btw

currently hd 600 + tfz kings

i wanna try the kings

had a pair of 1 more triples but i lost them last week ol

😢

lol the triples

literally the same as xiaomi hybrids

which arent very good imo

i bought them based on 1 dude on reddit hyping them

they were ok

decent bq though

somehow lasted me a year

wouldnt buy thme again at what they cost

if the kings are good i'd finally have a good sub $100 v-shape recommendation

the f9 didnt impress me enough

Is it worth getting bluetooth cables for kzs?

my main issue with kings is the comfort

they're very uncomfrtalbe

for me

if you want bluetooth, sure @metroidder

prob due to how big the housing is

yeah im not a fan of that style of iems

tfz series 5 appreantly better

and sound nearly the same

i gotta admit these feel really solid though

westone/shure style, or cylinder shape like etys works well for me

i still dunno what im gonna do when i get t8ie's

their fit is so weird

but its a DD so i really dont wanna bother with reshelling, especially not at that price

damn

theyre borderline acceptable with small bore double flanges, but i dunno if it'd be enough for me

still gotta diy a custom sleeve for etys sometime as well

or at least attempt to

im honnesty impressed with how far chi fi has came tbh

chifi has always been pretty good

gr07 is fantastic and is getting pretty old at this point

nvm ye

hifiman

as well

hifiman got worse lol

id never buy them though

i'd buy a HE6 or HE500 if cheap enough

maybe a susvara

ye same prob

never now

at full price anyway

or he1k if very cheap

qc is shit appreantly

yeah it is

some dude got two left cups lol

hahah wtf

gonna get the ZSEs for 3.4 euros

not bad i guess

ye theyre fun

can you use ZSE's with the bluetooth dongle

dunno but not interested for now

I-I was asking out of personal interest

i assume so why wouldnt u

also where did you find them for that price @Lefteris

i have the zse but not blutooth dongle

zse don't have detachable cable

oh yeah I see that now

sadface

was hoping for a cheap wireless setup

zst?

ah youd have to rewire it yourself

zst would work

oh alright

thanks

hekduck will probably say 2 pairs of xe800

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RHA-MA750i-Premium-In-Ear-Headphones-89rrp-BNIB-Free-UK-P-P/192389642133?hash=item2ccb50f795:g:BK8AAOSwW6BaKSQj

if you can find a legit pair

literally gr07's with a shit cable

eh just for my mom

mostly just want good build quality

then again she is used to shure se315...

wtf

and moaned about sound quality when i gave her some cheapo iems once

what is wrong with the 315's?

broke

not sure how

lol

no warrenty or anything?

wow wtf

either that or just grab a 215 used

ye might just do that

yuh shure is actually a proper good company when it comes to cs

pity their iems sound like shit

i liked my 215 as beater iems tbh

215's are outdated af

wew

they come with a fairly decent mmcx cable as well!!!

pretty much only good thing about them lamo

i'd probably recommend them if they were like $40

otherwise the fiio f9 shits on them

not that i like the f9 much either

@HEKTIK why are the rhas shit 😦

I've owned ma350's

sound was breddy gud but they broke every 2 months

thank god for their CS though

got a free every time no questions asked

cus this shit lmao https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/243448552313847808/392771987799277579/output.png

and yeah everything rha makes is built like ass

good cs, but doesnt excuse ur shit breaking

yeah thats why I switched to chinkshit after the 5th time

copped me some fiios

you know I had to do it to em

what are those?

zs3

i drilled out the bass port and made em larger

who needs isolaton

also i might have broke off an xacto knife tip into them

now they remind me of how ES3 sound

except maybe slightly worse

I didn't think about this before, but why the fuck is the ZS3 and ZS5 cable so different from the awful default grippy KZ cable

why can't they into consistancy

I got a pair of ZS5s yesterday and thank fuck it doesn't gave the standard cable

I made the mistake of putting my ATEs and my ES3's in a pile together

And spent a good 15 minutes untangling

I've have my ZS5s attached to my Bluetooth module mostly though

Also I tried the BT module with the ES3's first and oh god the latency watching videos is horrible as expected due to Bluetooth

But BT module + ZS5s = negligible latency

It's awesome, I can barely notice any audio lag

wat

What did I say that confused you @Windatica

i imagine the bt module latency would be independant to what's plugged into it

Somehow ZS5 > ES3 Bluetooth latency

<:googlethink1:328536264292827139>

im pretty sure opening the bass port on these zs3s have destroyed the mids and highs

but now the bass does me shook

>bass

piston hybrid pro hd with blutack is similar

they become fucking bass cannons

its great

come back when you can eiaosi x6 yourself noob

maybe i should stick xe800 drivers in an eiaosi x6

its not like theres anything in there to begin with

eiaosi x6 has 9drivers per side <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

just like that one bluedio headphone

@Droidbot be careful you don't accidentally convince yourself that eiaosi x6 are actually good

already done

they're great

also I found a 45% off code for my fake se535 order so I'm G

makes em $48AUD

I ordered fake iems

this-isnt-a-good-idea.aspx

i think they're more expensive on dhgate

couldnt find them on ali

$55 on dhgate
