that could be nice csg meme

how wax-y are your ears?

I've had 2 pairs in 6 months

At a cost of 4USD for 5 pairs I don't mind them being a consumable

i needed to throw them after 4th month iirc

then went back to good old silicone

I liked the jump in noise iso and comfort so I keep using em

not ordering https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/4-5mm-PU-Foam-Ear-Tips_60715263185.html? them in bulk

dohohoohho

sillicone is just poorfag tier now

i could use em but then i startted to think possible ear-infections etc the porous foam could harbor without time to time cleaning and sterilization

and was like "fuck that shit there is smarter options"

fair

2-3 months tops then I toss em cause they get all gunked up and start ripping

sadly there is no real options but expect solid silicone

what costs

and would cause more pressure for ear if its bad silicone

actually you can wash ur foamies

What are the current recommended cheapo chink earphones? Still the Monk Plus?

Monks succ

Get a yincrow x6

Is it similarly flat to Monks?

My problem with Monks is not sound, but rather material quality

My 2nd one just broke, the cable got frayed where it meets the jack connector

Monks aren't flat lol

I don't know, I am not good at this music thing

I am just a layman

there are replaceable cable monks now iirc

I was going by what's written on the csg guide

Yincrows annihilate the monks

I am willing to shell out money for replaceable cable, because this shit happens too often to be normal

Don't get removable cable Monks lol

There are other removable cable earbuds, tho i can't list em off the top of my head

Hmm, I haven't seen many either

Not on the guide either

@bentech earbud autism to the rescue

Yeah don't get monks

Get yincrow

Or emx 500

I prefer yincrow but both are super goof

he means literally flat

not FR flat, he wants a speaker that's flat against his ear, so an earbud

just get stax tbh

sender pt2 is prob what he wants

mmcx earbud

make your own

its like $9

@vista

why does headphone discord keep adding shitty channels

😡

thanks mate, is it comparable to Monk/yincrow in terms of it "sounding good"?

I am not an audiopedophile, sorry

@Windatica invite Lee and give him his own channel to rant in

I don't know, not many reviews of pt15 but if you think monks are good then don't worry about it because monks are awful

just get both

/csg/ exclusive VE deals plz

250 but comes with a premium cable

https://www.null-audio.com/products/lune-series-mkiii-premium-upgrade-cable-for-earphones

🤢

```Bought this cable to replace my broken Fidue A91 mmcx cable. Sound stage is not as good as stock cable, but overall it is a great and economy replacement cable. Build quality is amazing ... Definitely recommended for those budget audiophiles like me.
```

economy??

????

??????

tfw your cable is too congested

think of it this way

cable width is like more lanes on a highway

:^)

better cables = more lanes = less congested

thicc

probably his cable was 999

Subjective Listening Tests
I started my testing with the Kz ATE IEMs. With these, the Lyr was a buzz factory. I mean real loud buzzing. I did a bit of testing anyway and thought I liked the Lyr a bit better. The extra buzz seem to accentuate the highs a bit.

omg

KZ ATE the new audioscienceforum meme????????

it'll be on massdissapointment in minutes

just like both topping dacs

Aren't they talking about the schiit tube hybrid?

```This is a review and comparison of Schiit Lyr tube Headphone amplifier to Schiit Magni 3. The Schiit Lyr is on kind loan from a member. It is discontinued but seems to have retailed for US $450 (replaced with Schiit Lyr 2). The Schiit Magni 3 which is a solid-state headphone amplifier retails for $99 so quite a bit cheaper.```

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-schiit-lyr-tube-headphone-amplifier.2451/

```My personal reference headphone system is Stax SRM-007t which is differential tube amplifier. So I don't have a bias against tube audio in general. In this case though, for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would want to buy the Schiit Lyr. Yes, it has more power due to higher output voltage but it also produces copious amount of measured distortion and some audible one. Combine that with much higher cost and cost of ownership in tubes and it just makes no sense to me.
```

Lolwtf

i want him to measure a r2r ladder dac

measure google dac

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/measurement-of-r2r-dac.2202/

oh its already bee nsuggested

```Discrete R2R DACs don't come cheap. Though I'm not certain, I think the Denafrips Ares, at S$888 (now approximately US$670), is the most inexpensive discrete R2R DAC now available.
```

lol

so i ended up getting panasonic rp-hje125 earphones

cost me about six quid from amazon, one day shipping

apparently they're pretty decent, and i need new earphones now so i just bit the bullet

Big mistake

https://thenextweb.com/insider/2018/03/16/app-makes-headphones-sound-like-pro-recording-studio/ lmao

only machine capable of doing it atm is http://www.smyth-research.com/

and to make them sound like a pro recording studio you would need to get access to a pro recording studio to make the measurements lol

the program just makes your headphones flat

hydraulic pressed

It's literally just dsp you can do yourself

https://gyazo.com/cffe45962f134feb046f2f20116a0550

wonder if I can crack this 🤔

it doesnt even bother verifying the email you enter

so

just continually fucking log out and enter new emails of like mailinator addresses and be done w/ life

Kek

I'm gonna try experimenting with it over the next couple days

since its actually a nice audio gain

nice experience at least

quick peek into the internals - it's a qt based application that supports wasapi

n1 bois

time to pull open glasswire and see if that werks

during boot it contacts an AWS server, I'm assuming for licence details

now if we block that

lets see what happens

@Droidbot#5851 lucky patcher can remove license verification

but i see you found a solution

Any issues with KZ's bluetooth cable?

Thinking of picking up a pair of ZSTs and the bluetooth cable for the gym.

3 main issues

audible static, but it's only annoying if youre using them in quiet enviorments

its inaudible if say you're outside in public

also instead of being press + once to increase volume, its hold + to increase volume, and double-tap to change song

wow why'd you delete that

fuckin prick now you'll never know the third

Didn't mean to rush you :^(

its just the battery life

3 hours of constant music, im not sure of standby time but i'd say 12 hours

if you want something better, trn makes a bluetooth cable thats bigger

and is also 10x the price

;) i should have gotten like 5 kz bluetooth cables when they were $3
