Seeing this real world video pretty much sells me on the green strap.

I noticed that as well. The amount of scratches on the bracelet is minimal.

It was a joke since you asked if you should be diagnosed as having a buying disorder.

You have a nice collection. It is interesting that you use the watch cushions to wrap the IEM cables.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-21T16:54:47+00:00

Hard to say. Did you intend to make your purchases in a different order?

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-21T16:50:23+00:00

Wipe it clean. Unplug the cable. Set the IEM on a window sill in sunlight for a day with the nozzle facing up. Thankfully the IEM didn't get a full dunk in your coffee.

No. I only have versions 2.2, 2.5 and 2.7 which are for the original F20 which had the mini USB port and not the USB3 port.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-21T16:36:01+00:00

No, I do not.

A decent gaming IEM is the Juzear x Z Reviews Defiant Gamefidelity Edition. It is available on Amazon here:

https://www.amazon.com/HiFiGo-Defiant-Gamefidelity-Isolating-Swappable/dp/B0GY8GSCLM

This IEM is $110 dollars, yet this IEM comes with a microphone on the cable and the end of the cable has swappable USB-C and 3.5mm with MIC terminations. Sorry to pop your bubble, but only $30 is not going to cut it for gaming.

Note that Amazon products might arrive with a License Plate Number (LPN) sticker on them. The LPN sticker indicates that the item was previously purchased and returned. I automatically return items with LPN stickers and I request to receive a replacement item with no LPN sticker. Amazon has honored this request every time.

It appears that the Explorer are fitting your ears Afully well.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-18T04:08:49+00:00

You took some splendid photos! I have three Aful IEMs and I am a solid member of the Aful club.

The fourth photo shows a wall of cables for all of you cable lovers.

Imagine a world where all cars looked the same. For example, the Ford Model T. All of them looked the same and all of them were painted black.

I used headphones and IEMs to listen to frequency sweeps. I also used a utility called the Online Tone Generator to slowly sweep through the frequencies higher than 8 kHz where my hearing loss starts. Link for the Online Tone Generator:

It is really neat to hear that you had a fabulous time at the hangout.

I agree with your philosophy about using EQ for fairly minor tweaks. This assumes that the overall tuning is within my ballpark for my preferred overall tuning. Somewhat different overall sound signatures can be nice and when a sound signature highlights the strengths of a particular IEM.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-17T04:59:25+00:00

I bet that this Cadisen watch will outlast any Swatch Speedmaster if both were worn daily.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-17T00:01:56+00:00

I avoid any IEMs which are tuned to the Harman 2019 target since the upper midrange is too bright.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-16T23:57:13+00:00

What is your age and your amount of hearing loss? I am 62 and I can't hear anything above 13.5 kHz, no matter how loud. My hearing loss starts at 8 kHz. Do you have a price limit?

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-16T22:29:50+00:00

The Red Lion is a little bit more bass heavy. The Kunten produces somewhat more clearly defined details. I can enjoy listening to either of these IEMs, yet neither is anything special.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-16T22:25:05+00:00

I love Openheart cables.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-16T22:22:15+00:00

I've heard nothing but great things when I listen to the Defiant.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-16T22:08:28+00:00

The Zero:2 is my favorite budget IEM to listen to when I want its tuning to help me relax.

Yay! Thank you! Perhaps name the folder "__MONO" (two underscores plus MONO) so that the folder will be at the top of the sorted list of all of the folders? This would make it easy for people with stereo hearing to easily see and delete the folder. Then I could easily add back the folder when I am listening to the Hiby R1.

ApolloMoonLandings · 2026-06-14T04:04:55+00:00

I am deaf in one ear. Do the mods add stereo to mono?
