```The DD in the left earpiece on my ZS10s has just failed!!!!
I always get driver flex with them when inserting them but can adjust them so they sound fine. This time though the sound completely stopped from the DD.
Absolutely gutted!! Have messaged AK Audio to ask for a replacement.
Beware the driver flex!!!```
should have just ripped the backplate off <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
1/30095 chance of failing friend

I hate walking around with high isolation iems
its nice in the city where there is tons of loud shit but yeah its not great when in suburbs or whatever in quiet areas
yincrows or porta pros or ksc75's or whatever are nice for that
Ye Im mostly in suburban areas
Grado?!?
>amp link<
```
But you donโt buy Grado headphones for their stylish looks, or even for their build quality, which can sometimes appear suspect.```
this requires a big think
is this only referring to the in-ears or something
ik
idk
its just bizzare
```Iโve been listening to the $399 Grado GR10e ```
wtf
you're WILD
that better come with unlimited warrenty
Iโve chosen Gradoโs GR10es ahead of its over-ear range, because I find the latter are less consistent, sometimes less balanced in their sound (which can offend the unsuspecting ear with an excess of treble, the high notes that often prove fatiguing).
at least he admits they're shit
i guess they're about the saem
suprirsngly
so yeah i guess they're balanced
also ive found next meme iem
zs10 with titanium cable
```So Tin audio is hardly just a random chinese IEM manufacturer.
They are actually the same team from TTPOD - The team that was acquired by Alibaba and re-branded as Ali Planet. It was essentially Alibaba's music streaming arm before being shutdown in 2016.
The same team later re-grouped under TTPOD name again, re-oriented itself for hardware and started making IEMs.
It would be like if Spotify got acquired by Amazon, shutdown, and regrouped to start manufacturing headphones.
```
idk how music streaming means you can make iems but whatever
Well, when they were TTPOD, they used to make OEM for audio technica.
the meme iems are these
i cant find ali/english link atm
gookshit
