Lemme get a picture of my buds, one sec.

Even one of my oldass machines can run PPSSPP.

It's got a short battery life.

Like, couple hours

Not a clue, it *could* work

The Atom processors in the GPD's aren't too bad for a tiny device

sorry for that shit quality, was taken with some chinkshit phone

KZ ZST PRO's with the upgrade cable on an AGPtEK M20, loaded with a 64GB MicroSD.

Then the spare cables and a case of ear tips

That'd be horrible for games.

fine-ish for listening to music

Kinda, eh for videos or calls

besides my M20 doesn't support bluetooth

Good player, though

Yep.

TF is SD, most of the time

pmp?

Ahh, it's pretty nice. Cost me more than it typically costs (Canada, and all) but it was worth it

Got it for $39 CAD

It's got 8GB of flash memory from the get go, and you can expand it up to 64GB with a MicroSD card. It plays MP3, OGG (Why tho), AAC (Also why tho), WMA/Protected WMA, FLAC, ALAC, and WAV.

FLAC and ALAC must be 16-bit 48KHz max sample, though.

Tried an SACD rip on the damn thing and it couldn't play it

This tiny little player can power 60 Ohm cans. Supposedly can power 100 Ohm according to AGPtEK's website, but I don't have anything high enough for that. It's much better quality audio wise than most phones.

I used HyperX Cloud II/Takstar Pro80's on them, and a couple different KZ earphones, and some shitty Apple ones.

They're all powered pretty good.

Battery life ain't the greatest though, it's the weak point of the player

It lasts a few days of on and off music playing, at least for me

But I used it throughout the whole day once

Only lasted 9.5 hours

Got on the bus this morning and buddy thought my ZST PRO's were hearing aids.

What kind of hearing aid looks like some magenta/blue fever dream?

>VE

I still want to try them.

pens are not technology

🤔

Can't stand triple flange, and damn

Sanding anything down on earphones makes me wince.

Did it change the sound signature a bit, though?

I'm considering trying something with my ZST's

I don't think it's the greatest idea though

I love my ZST PRO's, but that treble is just fucking piercing

I have no idea, like, it looks like an in-line amp

and something heavy like that

I'd rather use my good boy points on something else

ew

broken cables here we go

Where else should I go? I'll be honest, the hifi drivers on the ZST are ew

Er, the BA drivers are ew

Planning on doing that foam damper mod.

But I don't want to destroy my BA drivers.

There isn't enough room on the ZST's for that.

The BA driver is like

Squished up against the mesh screen

Only option is to put a tinyass amount of foam into the nozzle.

*shrug*

ES3 lul

Don't yopu mean ZS3?

too many

If I can save up the cash I'd go for ZERO Carbo Tenore

Meanwhile I want a bit of foam in my ZST's so that treble stops piecing my poor ears

Then once I save up I'll get a pair of Carbo Tenores

I mean, a lot of sub-$30 western earphones are trash compared to KZ so.

They're even better?

Also, I don't know shit about audio how the hell do I decipher that graph?

ZST is balanced until the BA rings in your ears like Normandy

My ATE's fucking b r o k e

I like my ZST's for the most part but you need to mod the goddamn things to get them to sound good

Now to try popping that screen out without breaking the damn thing.

Carbo Tenore are $50 CAD.

On Amazon

Let's see if they're cheaper elsewhere.

get ve monk

no don't actually

rip your ZS5's

Or ZS6's

rip

lmfao just try them

Best thing I have are HyperX Cloud II's, but I can't handle carrying around bigass headphones with me

What grit did you even use?

Do you not have micromesh pads?

fucking *rip*

Well that ain't too bad

Alright guys, time to try that mod out

Well that didn't help at all

What a waste of $0.05 of foam

Oh, wait it did change the fucking SNARES

Okay so it dampened the BA drivers, but the vocals aren't part of them

Female vocals are sharp af

what

I'm fucking confused.

eh

Should I try the ZS6?

If it's under $10 USD?

Hell

I don't know
