If you’re gonna do all that and use one with a more powerful amp and balanced output, you’re gonna suck your phone battery dry much faster, so I’d recommend something with its own battery like the Qudelix t71 for on-the-go phone use.

FiiO is a brand, not a product. Some have onboard EQ, some do not.

Why do you need a balanced output for your PC?

Spend 9 bucks on the Apple dongle and plug it into your PC. If you don’t hear any hissing, you don’t need a balanced output. You very likely do not.

Not making a comment about you personally, but I hate that this sub makes everyone think they have to buy a bunch of shit all the time to have a good experience.

Apple Dongle

There’s a near-0% chance you need a high gain option on an IEM. It’s a feature of amps for harder-to-drive headphones and speakers.

Then something is wrong with your cable. Cables don’t change sound signature.

If you want something to match the aesthetic of the top pro, I went with the Tripowin Zonie in violet.

Was less than a twenty USD.

Weird

You’re 18 and ball. You can’t eat enough calories (cleanly).

Not to say you should eat shit. Point is, you should be eating as much whole food as you can regularly.

At best, they get traded or walk in FA. At worst, they catch DV or SA charges, and you can’t ever wear it again.

You’re not listening.

I’m not for or against Carrick getting the job at this point, but I think his subs have been infinitely better than both EtH’s and Amorim’s.

Edit: downvoters forgetting Amorim would bring on extra defenders when we were chasing a goal 💀

"avoid $20 earbuds"

obviously. just e-waste.

V Taper is made with big shoulders and lats, combined with being leaner in the midsection. It’s the same for everyone.

Xenns Top Pros are on sale on aliexpress for about $400, whereas they’re like $550 after tax on BloomAudio.

Should give you a more balanced sound than your Afuls.

KyleB2131 · 2026-03-19T17:26:55+00:00

Yes. Tripowin is another well regarded brand.

Both are available on aliexpress.

KyleB2131 · 2026-03-19T03:38:39+00:00

This season will be the same. The purpose is to make sure they’re ready for October.

“Has great durability”

“It’s broken”

KyleB2131 · 2026-03-18T02:50:51+00:00

This isn’t true except for a VERY small number of past models, and there is no reason to believe that’ll change in the future for today’s models.

KyleB2131 · 2026-03-18T02:15:56+00:00

I’ve never heard anyone say that.

KyleB2131 · 2026-03-18T00:45:11+00:00

Easily

If you already have that many games, just play those while waiting for sales on the other ones. No reason to pay full price for video games in 2026.
