or theyre just memes

*Only the finest magic for my ears then*

no they meatspin in your ears

they're on a pivot

you can see plenty of spinfit reviews on the internet

iems suck jsut get earbuds tbh

~~For home yes, but in the gym iems are a nogo imo~~

wtf

earbuds suck

a breeze will take them out of my ear

yeah same

idk how people get them to stay inside the ear

The hell did i write there

Yeah, you're right. I somehow thought you meant to just headphones.

earbuds never go out of my ears tbh

are you guys autists

I use some KZ ATE indeed

its just 0 isolation

and bus is like 100dB of noise

i like them in quietp laces tbh

but yea on the streeet (unless it's quiet)/transport ill take apair of iems

the power supply for my chink bmeme800 phantom power literally fucking melted

i knew it got hot, but jesus

thank christ i unplugged this shit during the night

<:pepewot:327934404234313739>

wtf is this quality

AC output?

its the AC power brick that plugs into the phantom power supply

im opening it up

call me BIG CLIVE

smells like burnt plastic :(

wow I'm so surprised

mine blew up too

for my old phantom power thing

Rather surprising

i think im going to try making a new power supply from a phone charger

5V/2A vs 18V/0.600 A

Hrmm

The phone adapter might create a lot of switching noise which might need some hefty filtering to clean out

Maybe a cheapo wall wart with an AC output?

A voltage multiplier is fairly straightforward to make, and they're nice in that they don't create super high frequency noise

i think that's the job of the interface and not the power supply

@Droidbot never tried the x1 series

@Windatica kek rip

w8

the fucking phantom power requires 18V AC

i dont have trannies laying around for that 😡

yeah, the one that came with mine was a brick

feelsbadman

im using the microphone without an interface but it sounds p awful

open it up and see what melted

good enough for discord

for sience

im trying

i don't think i can pry this open the way i had in mind

also i think i might have to buy a whole new interface all together

buy a used 2i2 or something

the used interfaces on ebay all look absolutely awful

i'm just trynna buy a CHEAP one, not drop $20 on an interface that looks like it was made when i was born

shoulda just got a second hand snowball 😡

$20 for an interface?

really all i need is a power supply

Geez, be thankful, you won't even get a used one for under 50 here

Euro even

awful

wait wtf

AC/DC adaptor

interface says AC18V in

which is it

DC

i don't see a full bridge rectifier in there

this board looks like it was part of a hobbiest kit

so much wasted space

and every part is silkscreened

Is there nothing on the backside? Else what spaqin said

nothing besides traces and joints

I think it's halfwave rectifying by the looks of it

it uses a barrel plug as input

lick the caps

omg

Hrmm

that diode may be just for safety

Might be a voltage doubler from the look of the diodes?

in case someone plugs in a musical instrument adapter

And TIP122 with the zener as a reference for a cheapo linreg maybe

Too tired to trace that out

why are these traces so BIG

THICC traces save lives

big voltage fam

ya

b-but my amps

you want
1) thick traces
2) clearance

it just looks like thick traces

clearance is not so

THICC traces for THICC amps

Prolly was just cheap to make with through-hole parts

with this much wasted space you would think the clearences would be at least 1mm

they can afford to space things out

its about 0.6mm

stop talking about your dick

v2 🤢

5v 1a into chink power supply - LED lit, so far so good <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

it sounds worse

:(

it doesnt say which side of the barrel is positive or negative, I assume the inside is positive

that's often the case

older music keyboards n shit had it reversed for god knows what reason

i mean the reason is there as was explained by Dave from EEVBlog some time ago

but it still fucks with people's heads

its quieter with the makeshift phantom power

magic

well, it wasnt the polarities

i have a huge 18V 6A power brick laying around but im not sure if i want to die just yet

i'll just have to make due with my motherboard for now

i'm not even sure how phantom power works

It trickles a bias into the balanced audio lines to power the mic electronics

Which is decoupled from the output audio

its not bad if my mouth is inches away from the microphone, but its mounted vertically above me and would block my vision

and all these used interfaces are $30 at least

i might as well buy something new at that price

i think i'll wait to mod my bmeme first and see where i should go from there

actually

for the price of the cheapest used interface I can find, i can literally just buy a new microphone and chink phantom power

Friend let me listen to the SE535s today

Good lord, they were nice

Are there any chi-fi alternatives to them that give a similar sound?

Cheers!

lmao wtf

535s are $450

jesus

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/VSONIC-NEW-GR07-BASS-CLASSIC-Interchangeable-cable-BASS-CLASSIC-Professional-Noise-Isolation-HIFI-Earphones/32805353627.html

Yeah, they were nice, but not something I'd be able to splurge on <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

And thanks for the link

535's are pretty bad

if they were sold at like under $200 they might be alright

hear nothing but the bass

Does anybody have any idea what size foam tips to use with the ZSR

Was looking through the head-fi thread and a few were mentioned

Still no clearer to me

wtf

is that a zst housing?

its KZ, so probably

or es3 or whatever?

im more interested in the picture itself

it looks like someone ripped it from a video

who is taking a video of unreleased KZ

jesus wtf is wrong with headfi

a lot

WHY

lmao

ngl that looks cool

i like the v sound signature, but not this fuckin much

this is $120 of earphones

just y

its a shame

i should have bought the emerald green zs6 and sold it 5 years l8er for a bajillion bux

Hey chi fi.

My car got broken into and my previous cheap-ish sennheiser over-ears got stolen

Can y'all reccomend me a chink pair with enough fullness of sound to make my music feel good and to tune out the monotony of my existence while they're plugged in?

Isolation would be ideal too.

$$$?

Sub-50.

If possible.

Not including shipping.

That's $50USD.

Not here for whitenoise or powered stuff.

Just sturdy overear construction, good sound, and nobody else can hear what the fuck im listening to

if you can afford 64$ i'd go for these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Takstar-PRO82-pro-82-Professional-monitor-headphones-HIFI-headset-for-stereo-PC-recording-and-game/32841397637.html

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/takstar-pro-82-review-impressions-and-discussion-thread.849965/

huge meme on head fi lol

if you can't i'd prob go for superlux

not rly sure tbh

If they're comperable, would like the cheaper option.

Car window was below my deductible so I payed out of pocket.

Big oof on my spending cash.

Not to mention replacing everything.

nah i cant really think of anythin comprable

```I won't go too much into detail here, previous headphones that I listened to are CAL, HD598, Shure SRH940, M50x, HM5, Pro 80, ISK HP2011 and Somic v2. I've basically tried most of the chinese headphones up to 100$ either by myself or with my friends who also had a couple of different one's except the bosshifi. Bottom line: Just get these if you're looking into ANY headphones for up to about 250$ based on my experience, maybe even more. If anything get them just because they're so damn comfortable. They basically wipe the floor with every other sub 100$ chinese headphone with ease, and either match or outperform the more expensive sets I listed before. They are a bit on the brighter side so if you don't mind that I'm sure you'll love them.
``` lol

im tempoted to get a pair myself lol

wtf hd 202 are 55$ on amazon com???

Lmao amazon pullin through with the chink shit

Found the headphones for every elementary school piano class ever

lmao

Guaranteed for one earcup to not work 1/2 the time

And some retard jammed paper and goldfish crumbs into the keyboard jack

I think perhaps that nostalgia is attenuating the sound for you.

For 50 dollars I can buy an 8th and smoke it in my car and it my stereo bass will literally rock my world as I listen to culture II

Best headphones are no headphones.
