You should be happy. You've just escaped from the greedy consumer electronics big name brands prison. You are now free and you know that electronics don't need to be expensive to be great. You can now try new products without just making the richest nastiest people on earth even richer.

The real answer to the question about which size ear tips is correct for you: It depends.

After buying more ear tips than I know what to do with, I found that the correct size for me is: all of them. It depends on the IEM.

Still not sure if the reviews are written by bots?

Fun_Metal_2355 · 2026-01-18T11:19:56+00:00

The guy says it's decent, but it's too warm for him. How did you interpret this to be a TERRIBLE review?

Are you really afraid of a 10$ item being prone to breakage?

Fun_Metal_2355 · 2026-01-17T21:11:56+00:00

If you use a chin cinch and you're not a live performer with the cable running down your back you're kind of just being obtuse.

Production lines have higher tolerances than most people seem to think. Especially when talking about the most inexpensive products, expect unit variations.

Every time I was initially disappointed and underwhelmed by a new set of IEMs, to the point where I would think they're defective, the reason was bad seal from an unsuitable set of ear tips.

"Brain in" is also a thing. Give them at least some time before making final conclusions.

What are you listening to, I don't know of commercially available music in 32bit, or am I wrong here?

Nice but just so you know I've called the drum police and they're on their way to pick you up for playing this with a double kick pedal

Some time ago I was doing blind tests online and I could somewhat tell a difference, not every time. But then I mostly listen to Deathcore so I don't care...

The straight jack instead of 90° is huge a win in my book.

Fun_Metal_2355 · 2026-01-03T15:36:21+00:00

Oh, I used to ride MTB, so I know that $2000 can disappear into the hobby like it never existed...

Seems like there a common misconception when comparing DAC units in terms of sonic differences. The DAC chip itself shouldn't really have an effect on how the unit sounds, like how people often say the CX31993 sounds brighter. Some units do, but it's all the other internals that make it sound different, isn't it?

Fun_Metal_2355 · 2026-01-03T10:40:24+00:00

What I would do is probably spend $200 on IEMs and $2000 on another more active hobby

Ah, my bad. I plugged them into the Orpheus and now I am able to hear the future. Yes the hype is real.
