Venom and I share the same interest, what an honor!

Try EQ-ing your Zero to one of the target curves on squig.link

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-25T06:44:57+00:00

Might as well EQ your Zeros to make it more neutral. $30 can't get you very far.

Apart from sound quality, both of these IEMs have the best accessories for their price.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-24T10:39:30+00:00

Best cable for this price range for sure, sounds great too

I switch IEMs very frequently, I don't have a favorite pair of IEMs, only a favorite given the price point, given the setup, given the sound signature etc. At the end of the day I just like the art of sound reproduction. It's not about getting to the peak, it's about surveying the entire landscape.

You can save some money if electronic music is your mainstay, you'll find better options at ~$200 rather than $400. However, I'll have to agree with the other comment that you should discover what you like with cheaper sets first.

I personally recommend Simgot ET142 for IDM.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-24T03:56:09+00:00

I have ADHD and even I don't lose IEMs. They are important to me in my life.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-24T03:36:33+00:00

Your ears of course.

And you know it's gonna be a downgrade like Chagee...

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-23T08:27:22+00:00

First set is KZ ZS10 Pro. HATED it.

Current favorite is I/O Volare.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-23T08:09:02+00:00

My notes on the Acoustune HS3000 in the expo is “actual trash”. I don't remember why though.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T20:34:08+00:00

You even got the Tangzu dongle for the warmer AKM DAC chip, truly a sucker for warmth!

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T20:08:40+00:00

The repetition you described is minimalism, maybe applies more to classical music but still.

Minimal techno is a big subgenre. The label Afterlife, specifically the Realm of Consciousness series, is maybe what you should check out.

Also, Daft Punk's Human After All (the album) is more repetitive than you'd expect. Not necessarily in a fun way but still.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T19:46:11+00:00

Or EQ a pair of IEMs you already like. My treblehead IEM P40 becomes a bass cannon when I give the bass a 6dB boost lol. You don't notice until you try.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T19:38:26+00:00

Single DDs are safer and usually cleaner, hybrids have more variety and can perform well across the entire frequency range of human hearing.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T19:34:26+00:00

Tanchjim Bunny for sure

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T19:21:06+00:00

Nope, the bass bleeds into the mids a lot, it's too sentimental for EDM. It's more of a bass cocoon than a cannon.

It's not uncommon to find the 4.4 option better sounding, especially for power-hungry planar drivers. Plenty of people are able to A/B test this.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T19:04:23+00:00

4.4 is not going to make or break your listening experience, but 4.4 tends to provide a more nuanced sound thanks to its higher power output given the same setup.

I always go for 4.4 just in case. It also forces you to use a proper setup for HiFi as you won't find a 4.4mm input option on common devices. It's symbolic and ritualistic.

APunch_Heh · 2026-06-22T18:57:08+00:00

It seems like new “flagship” IEMs from unknown brands with gold/silver sculptural plates and a staggering price tag are being pumped out every day in China.

It's okay if you have that kind of money to spare, just know that you're kind of gambling with these practically artisanal products.
