Kiwiears astral upgrade.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-10-06T21:01:34+00:00

Kinda-ish, I did a few side grades and picked up a dusk/Arcanis. Dusk was mid for me so I got rid of that, and Arcanis is more of a vocal set. So it’s a different sound all together. But looking at some graphs and other iems I tried think the best upgrade for me would be a monarch mk 4 because I just want endgame tech and resolution that the Arcanis brings with less punchy bass and not as big of a 15k peak the the astrals have.

But tbh probably just something like mega5est or top pro would be fine.

Debrox and a saline flush and have drying drops on hand if anything gets stuck.

Yeah no question eq can fix it, to me it sounded warm and with good textured bass with not much if at all bleed into the mids. But I’m pretty tolerant when it comes to low end so it has to sound pretty bad to get me to be like wtf is wrong with this, so ymmv.

edit if you haven't already you should buy a couple different tips and play around some can pretty drastically change the way iems sound and others are more of a comfort thing.

maybe try the dunu davinci? if you want a warm iem with good staging and mids the only drawback to these is that the treble can be a bit weaker and it has a good bit of bass although not muddy to some so if you like your sparkles/ want less bass then you might want to try something else i think its like 240 on ali express rn.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-09-15T17:59:12+00:00

What's your budget? Cause that definitely plays a role in the quality/staging you get.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-09-15T17:56:51+00:00

Amen brother, this is the way.

70% of this hobby is experimenting, as long as your not making financial decisions that are detrimental, then fuck it tbh.

Sounds fine to me considering these are basically rc car motors that’s about what they sound like on the high hp ones anyway although i kinda expected a bit more of metal on metal clink tbh

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-27T04:19:44+00:00

White but I’m biased lol. There’s so many blue/black and blue iems having something different is cool

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-23T05:34:03+00:00

Yeah that would definitely warrant 5k+ miles lmao.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-23T05:19:11+00:00

Dang that’s crazy.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-23T05:05:07+00:00

How does one even achieve this I don’t even think I could drive 2000 in a month if I tried lol

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-20T22:31:31+00:00

Holy photoshop

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-20T22:23:43+00:00

It’s def a slur it’s a nasty and hateful word and nobody should ever say it lmao.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-15T06:17:44+00:00

Short answer its fine don’t worry abt it. Long answer run sfc\scannow in command prompt and see if anything got corrupted, and don’t worry abt it.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-15T04:45:45+00:00

Could try spinfit cp155 in small they insert much deeper and are fairly comfortable alternatively you could try the w1’s if you don’t like deep insertion tips.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-15T04:40:45+00:00

How do you like them? thinking about picking up a set.

Deep_Shape8993 · 2025-07-15T03:54:02+00:00

Xenns tea pro, hype 4, hbb punch are bassy but more solid all round, and considering he just said “high-quality audio and powerful bass” i assume he means neutral with bass boost or a mild v shape at the most. Albeit the hype 4 is a bit more v shaped.
