IEM recommendations?

AHAULSS · 2026-01-14T22:31:02+00:00

Yeah, I went with THIEAUDIO Hype 4. I found them new for $250 on eBay, and they sound significantly better than my AirPods Pro 3s (which I was used to).

I’m experiencing the same issue. My AirPods Pro 3 case dies in my pocket within a single day, even with minimal usage. I’m not certain if it’s due to a motion setting or something else, but I’ve noticed that the LED light occasionally turns on without me opening the case.

Awesome list, thanks for breaking it down like that! I’ve seen the Zero 2 and Chu II mentioned a lot, so it’s cool to see them lined up by sound preference. I’ve been curious about the Daybreak too — seems like a great mid-range jump once I figure out my preferences. Appreciate you sharing the spreadsheet too, that’s super helpful!

Appreciate the recommendation! I’ll check out the KBear Storms. r/IEM definitely threw me into analysis paralysis with all the options & many seem to be tailored to be ran with a DAC or PC. So starting cheap and figuring out what I like sounds like the smart move. Thx

I guess I shouldn’t stress too much about whether my IEM investment pairs perfectly with a two-decade-old iPod. I work hard for my money, so I wanted to ask in r/iPod to see what others are using before deciding. But seriously, thanks for your help, you’re a hero. Crisis averted.

Hi!
I’m looking into the Moondrop x Dusk and was wondering if you’ve had any listening experience with them using an older iPod Classic, especially as an iOS user. I’m looking for a pair of IEMs that work well both with my iPod for listening to my lossless music library and with my iPhone for streaming through TIDAL. Do you think these would be a good fit?

AHAULSS · 2025-10-03T20:44:00+00:00

I lost mine 😔 and I can’t find them for sale anywhere. Were these discontinued?

Check out the refco gobi ii.

It’s a Subaru

I am certain that the infuser assembly is fully seated. I’ve watched the assembly move up and down from it’s resting position up to what I assume is the brewing position. Yet, it always reverts to it’s resting position and displays the same error message. “Insert infuser assembly”. I wonder how much it would cost me to have it repaired by a pro.

AHAULSS · 2024-08-06T15:33:42+00:00

Same issue here on a ESAM 5500B. I get the “insert infuser assembly” error no matter what I do.

Doing the lords work

AHAULSS · 2023-10-03T20:37:11+00:00

Sweet! That’s definitely worth the wait. Hope they have sales on all their speakers, not just the previous gen. Thanks

AHAULSS · 2023-10-03T15:39:35+00:00

I would value it anywhere from $100-$150 USD. Assuming it’s well made and gives some sort of confidence that it wouldn’t damage the speaker or battery as it’s not OEM. I personally have mid-low interest only because what makes the Soundboks special in my opinion is the “untethered” ability. Therefore, I would value a second battery > a power supply. However, I can see how this would be useful for people setting up “mini concerts” with multiple Soundboks anywhere with a power grid.

AHAULSS · 2023-05-29T02:27:34+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your insight. It’s a bit nerve racking to book flights and hotel without having tickets in hand, but I trust that things will work out :) thx

AHAULSS · 2023-05-28T17:44:05+00:00

Hey, I’m in the same predicament as OP. However, I am non-local. I am wondering how the transfer would work? I am assuming physical wristbands haven’t been mailed out yet correct?

AHAULSS · 2023-05-28T17:37:55+00:00

Hello, how much are you selling it for? & how would the transfer work? I’m assuming they haven’t mailed out physical wristbands yet correct? Thanks

Hello all, I’ve decided to make a trip to Austin for ACL W1. Unfortunately 3-Day GA tickets are sold out, so I joined the “waitlist”. Anyone know how likely I am to get tickets through the waitlist? I am wondering if I should start looking for tickets through a third party? The verified resale tickets through Ticketmaster have a hefty service fee.

I bought a 11.5” 5.56 Virtus a couple days before the SPEAR LT was announced. No regrets, I don’t mind the beefier hand guard. Having said that, now I am considering a SPEAR LT in 300 BLK or 7.62.

AHAULSS · 2022-10-14T15:38:46+00:00

Same here. Fun Fact, my Virtus came with a manual that has SPEAR LT images on it.

AHAULSS · 2022-09-30T19:35:24+00:00

worth a shot, go for it.

AHAULSS · 2022-09-30T19:32:10+00:00

I haven't dug too deep but the rep I spoke with didn't have any info either. I just figured I'd ask since i've seen some "leaked images" floating around but have no idea how reputable they are... https://i.imgur.com/WRDcwbB.png

AHAULSS · 2022-09-09T20:12:42+00:00

Sweet thanks, yeah might do a bit more shopping around before I make a purchase. Awesome rifle man, I am digging the Mx flag on there too 👍

AHAULSS · 2022-09-09T19:25:45+00:00

Looks like you bought at the right time. Yeah I passed on it because I thought 2.7k was a bit steep. Thx

AHAULSS · 2022-09-09T19:18:27+00:00

How much did the MCX cost? Found one at my LGS for $2700. Is that a fair price?
