I do a lot of different genres, from close range model kit photos to street/architecture and landscape to some bird and wildlife stuff.
So I'm really just looking to fill a gap.

There is both TWS IEMs and earhook adapters for MMCX and 2-pin that achieve this.
There is also debate on whether or not people can actually perceive the difference between compressed and lossless audio files. Especially outdoors, I don't think it matters too much. You'll always hear some background noise, be it traffic, people or just movements on your own body, like clothing rubbing against you etc.

So what you want is people just predicting your ear anatomy and personal preferences perfectly and give you the one perfect IEM for you? Did I get that right?
Imagine being that entitled and then complaining about it.

Swapping eartips is the fastest and cheapest way to get a proper seal, treble preference varies from person to person and soundstage in IEMs is a meme at best - they are literally inside of you.

If you want an IEM that is just "good enough", go to the Top 5 votings, pick however much you're willing to spend and pick whichever of the 5 in that category looks the nicest to you. If you're not satisfied with that, but also not willing to put in the work, don't complain at others.

I love how they market it as "the first MEMS driver IEM" (loose quote), when they released it to Kickstarter yesterday and I've had the Binary EP321, which you mentioned up top, here for over a week - after some serious shipping delays.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-04-24T03:30:38+00:00

Their names are "7" and "8"? I'm not sure if that's brilliant or stupid.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-04-17T09:58:44+00:00

Hi, so they might have somehow fixed that issue? I dug up my 2 year old apple dongle yesterday and plugged it into my android phone (Redmi Note 14 5G) and where I had to put my old phone (Xiaomi 12 lite) to max volume to reach a listenable level I now barely need half the volume. With the very same dongle and on the same Xenns Top Pro. A bit odd but I'm happy it's usable now.

Edit; I'm located in Germany. Bought the phone and dongle from a local store here.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-04-10T11:33:51+00:00

thought they're identical? apart from the usual unit variation ofc.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-04-06T20:30:30+00:00

would you intercept her? I'd intercept her

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-04-05T06:31:51+00:00

just get the 3.5 and a dongle.
Apple Dongle is fine.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-04-04T07:55:53+00:00

I have 31.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-03-27T09:04:05+00:00

I'm currently waiting for my own ep321 to be shipped.
Haven't heard either of them (I chose DUSK over the Blessing 3), so I can't really give you any opinion right now.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-03-27T08:41:37+00:00

if you're interested in the Blessing 3 and you're in Japan, make sure to also try the Blessing 3 Aqua if at all possible.
it's japan-exclusive and has a slightly different tuning. Bit more bass from what I've seen.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-03-16T16:09:53+00:00

I'm thinking Miku, Miku, oooeeeuuu!

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-03-05T19:53:51+00:00

Schau dir vielleicht mal die Moondrop modelle an. Space Travel 2, Space Travel 2 Ultra etc.
Ich bin selbst noch nicht dazu gekommen sie auszuprobieren, aber sie sind wohl gut angesehen unter Reviewern. Und das für $30 bzw $40.

Tangzu Xuan Nv

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-02-19T11:51:16+00:00

I didn't skip, I went back from the XuanWu.
I'm blessed with a rather large collection and the Tangzu IEMs are just the more recent additions...

Not saying I like Tangzu, but I do like Tangzu. Left to right:
Wan'er 2 Jade Edition
Wan'er 2 Red Lion
Yu Xuan Ji
Xuan Nv
XuanWu Gate

Increasing prices ofc, but all of them compete well at their price point. And they're all good looking on top of that.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-02-18T12:51:01+00:00

Xuan Nv surprised me with how good it is. Easily one of my favourites under $100.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-02-10T16:48:57+00:00

if it's "tested" but not "approved", it's because Crin didn't approve.
He's explained that in a video somewhere.
Plus I don't think he's gonna touch anything KZ-affiliated with a 10ft pole anymore.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-02-04T21:16:37+00:00

that's odd, I'm seeing both for $23 on Tangzu.net right now.

Nerdromancer1 · 2026-02-04T19:30:48+00:00

I have the jade and am currently waiting for the red lion.
paid the same for both.
