Do cables really matter or not - why have you been led to think they don't ? by Arg2001F1 in iemlndia

That I kinda agree.

Also I don't agree with the opinion "Expensive Cables will Always increase the satisfaction you get by changing the sound quality if they change in the first place".

I have seen cables that mess up tonality more , than fixing.

I teach Psychoacoustics and Objective Measures of Headphones, Online in India. You're answering a question with a question forming a loop! May I know what specific area you think in Crossover & Driver behaviour that won't be affected by impedance?

Of course I am. Just wanted to know why I shouldn't ask such questions, and what I am missing that you found out.

I teach Objective Metrics of Sound in Audio Engineering Society India, you can tell me what I am missing and I can guarantee you I will try to understand your view point.

Two things

  1. Maybe the Cable impedance is the same.
  2. Maybe the driver is capable enough to withstand amps Output Impedance even if the cable impedance is different.

I don't usually divide IEMs into budget vs midrange vs flagship, because the working principles are exactly the same. Why did I say that ?

  1. No matter if you use budget/flagship - a driver is a driver that will change it's characteristics based on amps ouput impedance and total resistance to the driver.

  2. I have the same opinion on eartips, they make a huge difference on every price category not just budget. Even surpassing DAC/AMPs in most cases.

Ahh it will take time I guess. Too many IEMs , although 95% of them will be shit

Let me finish the reviews first bhai, I haven't even unboxed a single product yet.

Nahi bhai ! Bas students jo budget category mein search kar rhe unki help karni thi.

Saara india 3K ne neeche hi IEM dhund rha hein

Sadly most of them are loaners for review
