yeah i use a small pouch for my earphones

I've managed to have KZ ATE's die on me to a combination of a frayed wire and a dying driver

what a piece of shit

atleast you have 5 more drivers to use

:^)

my kz ate still go strong,in my mom's ear

does she love it?

not sure to be honest

probably not,did not see her listen to music lately

by the way, sometimes I try plugging my MDR 7506 in my Mi 5 and it feels like the quality is better than plugged into my thinkpad x260

is it placebo or ?

it is because of better connector fit

i'm trying to use my MDR in my Mi5 right now and it feels really good ! Clear sound AF

so i need to use a DAC

?

yes,100% must use dac

your life is otherwise meaningless

Good chink dac?

I would like to know too

you dont need dacs

especially not on phones

no, for my thinkpad

<:thvnk:332928260004642827> wat

I really feel like I'm hearing shit on my thinkpad

I would even say that my zircons on my mi5 feel better

you can just buy a usb dac or soundcard

are they cheap ?

you can get cheap ones yeah

is this one good ? https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-Breeze-Audio-ESS-ES9018K2M-AD823-SA9023-USB-DAC-Decoder-External-Sound-Card-Headphone-Amplifier/32762415473.html?

Try to guss

i would just say get a cheap usb sound card or pixel dongle, or spend $100 for topping d10

it is k i guss

but pixel dongle needs usb C does it ?

you could use the adapter

it works with PC if you get an adapter

it is like 30cents

the thinkpad has a bad dac, the one in your smartphone is better

also make sure the connector is fit in snugly

oh okay so it's really worth it compared to some big DAC ?

the pixel dongle
