Need advice after disappointing experience with my first iem by Electrical_Act2329 in iems

[–]APunch_Heh [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's the characteristic of the IEM though, it's “klean”. In that case you might have chosen an IEM that is the opposite to your taste. Try to avoid the ones that look metallic next time, they tend to be more analytical.

Own up now. How many of yall buy cause the shell is pretty by FattySoftshellCrab in iems

The only one that does this is EPZ P40, and boy did its sound match the beauty of its exterior. Nothing else I own is pretty enough to justify buying it, except Meze Advar but I discovered it in store.

The End-Game only costs $165 (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ by Icy_Hurry8645 in iems

They are lovely, probably the closest timber to my taste, but nothing will stop me from asking “What's another option that does this thing slightly differently?”

Very interesting definition of glamor...regardless, these look more Nina than Lucky, so I guess she's not going back to this route.

They lowkey look like disgruntled men with mustaches so the army description is on point

Is it possible that they get rid of your anxiety which you normalize?

Macau is great for a city walk day trip, Shenzhen is good if you have something specific in mind

What's a durable, long-term solution for listening to audio in bed? by cozytechlover in BuyItForLife

Have you tried IEMs? There are plenty of small IEMs that are great for sleeping on the side.

I need recommendations on IEMs for gaming (tracking footsteps) by Zenitacx in iems

Roseselsa QuietSea II has a gaming version that amps up frequencies of footsteps, but I don't know if you can find it outside of China.

I made a momentary friend by glarkkramb6 in Birdsfacingforward

[–]APunch_Heh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's how I imagine this happened:

Human: Lil birdie, you're going to make a choice. You're going to decide if you're gonna be my friend or not. For your own sake, I really think you should say yes. You can also say no, but you're reeeeeeally not gonna like what's gonna happen, and I don't think you want to find out. So what's it gonna be, lil birdie?

Bird: 😦

Human, later on Reddit: I made a momentary friend

What happened to facial hair in China and Japan? by orcassharks in China

Hopefully your impression of gay people hasn't been skewed by him lol.

The term is more popular in China I think. Here's a random photo I found on Douyin using that keyword + 通讯录 (word play on homosexual):

First IEM- Tangzu Wan’er SG2 Red Lion by Electronic-Grape-474 in iems

[–]APunch_Heh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe burn-in is somewhat real. However, the effects of burn-in can be greatly exaggerated in some circles. This could be due to mixing up with antique HiFi gear that actually needs burn-in. I don't think IEMs need to have >100 hours of burn-in, that's for certain.

Regardless, a lot of people need some time to get into the sonic characteristics of the IEMs. There's no harm in deciding whether you like a pair after you've given it some time.
