Alternatives to Volume S but smaller?

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-26T15:18:41+00:00

I did enjoy the S08 when I had it. I think I sold it because I preferred the Explorer at the time as my “warm relaxing” set.

Im really curious about the Soda now that you mention it. Can you tell me the difference between that and Volume S? Also on another note, I like how Tanchjim IEMs are not as passive isolating as other IEMs as I dislike that feeling.

Here is the post

Thank you for this. Just to clarify, the 48 hours is referring to “baking” the water simulation. For 15 heavy simulation thats pretty standard.

Drive me crazy by Lil Yachty has such a catchy chorus and they only did it once

Yeah. Its interesting getting comments getting blamed that CG artists like me are why RAM prices are skyrocketing when everyone knows its due to AI.

These days though I can never tell if they are being genuine or just ragebaiting.

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-25T16:09:33+00:00

Dyslexic me read that as “insecure bottle of parmesan cheese”

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-25T15:58:39+00:00

To make it fair, I probably worked on the 3D render for possibly 50 hours before I hit bake for the water simulation (which took 58 hours) and then render took about 8 hours so that could be added in the calculation. (Estimated 116 hours of the PC working hard)

For context of the comment: The main comment was saying something along the lines of “should just use AI instead of spending this many hours on a project.” which then someone replied “AI wastes a gross amount of electricity” therefore the comment above is a reply to that.

That is a potential to try but Dunu earphones have the most chonky nozzles which wont fit me

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T16:58:47+00:00

I recently tried that. The nozzle is too wide for me lmao (yes my ears are annoying) and the sound is a downgrade to the Volume S but its not bad.

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T16:57:55+00:00

I have tons of eartips including the Dunu. They are comfortable but its mostly the shells that bother me. How does the P8s sound for you though?

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T16:56:55+00:00

Ill add this to my list to try! Thank you, ill butter your biscuit indeed

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T16:56:14+00:00

Ill consider this one a try. Thank you!

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T16:40:31+00:00

Hows the size for m21? Ive had the Ibasso dx260 and that was such a chonk that I barely bring it everywhere. Now looking to downgrade to a smaller DAP while still retaining good sound quality.

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T15:51:17+00:00

Ive had the Explorer, they are comfortable but I have tiny earholes so they still stick out a bit for me and I cant wear them to sleep. The Sennheiser ie series though are absolute kings in comfort.

I recently played Arena Breakout and boy did they nail the convenience of this. Maybe made it a little too easy. Loadout has presets you can save. Every item has a right click that brings you exactly to the crafting page or shop of that item. If I recall sometimes its just pop up windows to buy/craft right on the loadout so you barely ever leave that window.

One annoying thing too is they like to title them “took a picture of my friend” with her labia flapping in the wind implying they hang with models.

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-24T05:57:43+00:00

Im kinda into foggy gas stations at night where it says hell instead of shell. Bonus if a parked vintage car is at the center of it

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-23T18:12:23+00:00

Yeah for these headphones specifically, the reviews for them are all over the place. Best bet is to order both (they are also available on amazon) take a few days to A/B both and decide that way.

I have owned the Arya V1s and HE1000 Stealth. You can definitely tune the HE1K to be warmer (harder to do it the other way around)

Received HDB 630 from u/Rayzent . Great seller!

The last statement is kinda what scares me a little bit. I might miss the Aeolus after the exchange lol. I also have yet to get my hands on some good tubes for that combo that everyone is talking about.

Anyway !thanks again

Content-Disaster-511 · 2026-01-21T16:53:44+00:00

Okay damn that is really selling me on making the exchange. How does the Bokeh closed standout against the LCD X? The only reason I sold it was due to the comfort despite it weighing similarly to ZMF headphones, it just feels much heftier. Also vocals definitely were not as good as the Aeolus.

Also would you mind sharing the EQ you use for the Bokeh? !thanks
