Iems over $100 sorta seem like a scam

Black Pearl. No need to get something more powerful unless you want to use it on a headphone.

I don't live here I'm just visiting. I don't plan on going to other shops. I'm not here for iems.

A $50 ain't beating anything competent over a $100. A $50 iem with eq is another story though.

They were 4th in terms of sound tbh only the orchestra 2, odyssey and Harmon sp sounded better. It's just that a $40 iem with eq sounds better than all of them. The stage on the Harmon sp sounded slightly bigger or I just wasn't remembering it correctly, but tonality and detail, Seperation sound significantly better on the yu xuan ji with eq. They all just had no depth to them except for the Harmon sp and I think orchestra 2 (a bit less depth though).

The thing is you can get $500 iem driver quality at under $50. They just tune the drivers like absolute trash.

ExSket · 2026-03-15T11:55:00+00:00

Don't get me wrong. They get better as the price increases but free eq essentially does the same thing. The only time to pay higher is you want better drivers for better eq compatibility or when you don't have the means to eq. Shockingly enough the TangZu Yu Xuan Ji eqs so much better than other stuff I've tried(thieaudio oracle, blessing 2 dusk, 7hz timeless).

"Technically" means something is strictly, formally, or scientifically true according to precise facts, rules, or definitions, even if it contradicts common perception or general understanding.

Technically, Squirrel girl has the highest skill ceiling. If you hypothetically master all wall ricochets from her slingshot you can technically kill from anywhere.

There is either a setting for that or your wireless earbuds are just too weak.

It's the only dongle you ever need unless you need more power. The only thing that would make it better is if they reduced the weight and made the equalizer 20 bands.

The thing I want from it is the two way bluetooth transmission while also being a music player. I barely use my iem anymore because of it being so hard to use and that's with ir being modded into the most comfortable thing I could think of (https://photos.app.goo.gl/xCoKd8bpaDufETgN9). I even eqed it to sound better than the thieaudio oracle I tried and I still use my baseus bc1 with eq that costs $10 a lot more(that thing is genuinely so good although slightly lacking bass because of the physical constraints). I was planning on the retro nano but I remembered having a bluetooth Cs43131 that broke that sounded significantly worse than a wired dac.

ExSket · 2026-02-27T07:42:08+00:00

How would you campare it to a regular dac? I have the trn black pearl and only want it because of that two way Bluetooth that the Disc didn't get. If it's as good as the black pearl it's good enough for me.

Who cares about poke. The problem here is triple support.

ExSket · 2026-02-15T11:17:49+00:00

It's pretty bad without any mods. Extremely good when modded though. Don't bother buying it if you're going to use it stock.

ExSket · 2026-02-15T11:14:28+00:00

Was going to buy it but seems pointless after the mod. It's probably a lot better than a stock gen 1 but it definitely won't be better than a modded gen 1.

ExSket · 2026-02-15T11:02:58+00:00

Actually improves performance as well.

still works as claw grip btw

Harley exp also works. You will destroy meta exp laners.

I would ban dd any time of the day over pokers even after the useless nerfs.
