so the sound travelling to the capsule does change some little bit of it

is this a truly good bargain? https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_709296.html

yeah I have them, they're good

oh wait

ES3

I have no idea

I have ZS3

whats the difference

no idea pal, ask @HEKTIK or @Kaytee

local audio autists

eyo

@Kaytee senpai, pls

i have not tried the zs3 but i've had pretty good experience with other kz products

for $10, go for it

I would like to be able to turn down microphone volume on a knob as well.

also

the es3 has two drivers, a dynamic driver for lower frequencies and BA for higher ones

zs3 is dd, ese is ba+dd and probably doesn't have the cancer fucking shape like the zs3

zs3 seems to just be dynamic

@Kaytee i do not understand the difference between the models. i see that some of them have differen connection to the cable, nothing more. what about bass and what not - does it differ significantly depending on the model?

this does not always mean better or worse, depends on how good their crossover is and just how well engineered it is in general

wtf does the double driver even mean

@JHWH distinct pattern?

generally a BA driver is gonna be better at mids and highs than a dynamic driver will, and dynamic drivers are better at bass, but again if they made a poor crossover or if the acoustics are wrong it can actually sound worse than just a singole driver

@nerupi literally there's two speakers in it instead of one

kinda like how you'd have a tweeter and a woofer on your bookshelf speakers instead of just one full range speaker

@Deleted User how the f do I plug it into the computer? I don't have a soundcard. Can I just plug it from the Phantom power directly into the PC?

@Austin like pc -> mic preamp -> mic?

generally mic preamps with phantom power are xlr on both ends so you'll want either xlr or balanced trs mic input on your pc, which you probably don't have

grab a cheap mic interface tbh

I think I got it now. Absolute audio noob.

The kit has XLR to 3.5mm, so that will do I guess?

not neccesarily

that'ss gonna be balanced trs, and unless you have a really nice motherboard i haven't heard of you don't have balanced mic input

miiight work? could try and see before spending money on an interface?

but probably you're gonna want a mic itnerface

Here's the kit.

Comfy sent it to me 15mins ago.

That's a steal
