zs5 aren't hard to drive, but they're slightly ever so harder than most things i have

so hard, so stronk

i feel like reading head fi is making me more stupid

It is

The chifi threads are purely massive hype machine echoboxes

when testing zs5 with MINT chinese incense, i can really feel the highs enter my brain and kill me

Yeah trying to get any sense out of the KZ impressions thread is ridiculous

I realised that any headfi thread with more than 10 pages is just degeneracy

you should really only be trusting objective headphone reviews where you can compare frequency response, tonality, etc.

tis why I like audiobudget

he has lots of chinky iems and the frequency response is an easy comparison tool to take away the cruft of his opinion

It's a shame his page literally looks like spam

I have been reading through it

I don't really bother with frequency response graphs lol

Graphs will tell you if something is obviously fucked, or if it has a stronger chance of being good, but after that you should rely on your ears

Of course

Omfg

Why does head fi have to use that shit key word tracking ad stuff

It's the worst

@Droidbot ayy i got the fake shures

@bentech doesn't uBlock block that

what is this shit man

oi how'd you contact wish? @Droidbot

email?

how does it respond to eq

idk ill try

pretty sure its an issue with the housing not sealing if anything, since the left side also doesnt isolate as well

hey at least the mids are there

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hear nothing but the mids

they dont actually sound that bad

ill probably pull them apart and put some BA's in

ok its fucking impossible to add any bass to these without making them distort like fuck

try physical mods

eat em

rather not

yeah these dont respond to EQ well at all

they get super congested and muddy

theyre better off being bright lol
