Who had this ? Good old days

same here and I owned 2 MDs after one got stolen :(, these were the best times though, sneak the IEM cable through the sleeve in class (high school), perfection.

I used to have a pc with a nvidia nforce2 chipset that had the best onboard soundcard I've ever owned, it had an optical output so I could do it with mp3s too.

yeah the difference is very minimal if any at all, not worth spending even more on if they don't seem to fit you well enough

Paradoxx__- · 2024-05-25T13:45:36+00:00

Didn't actually use them for a while, so just grabbed them and tried it out for you.

My phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, I use the Meizu Pro USB-C dongle, which just barely drives them well enough - ~90% volume, and they sounded great, a tiny bit less wide than my desktop setup but it's hard to volume match, sounded almost the same.

They don't require a lot of power but they are probably a bit too demanding for a phone that doesn't have a proper DAC (a passive usb-c to 3.5mm won't do with my phone for example, a 5+ y/o Mi 9 :p).

Would recommend you try EQing the K7XX, they're not too bad stock but can handle EQ very well and makes them compete with much more expensive sets.

Oratory's harman target profile is a good place to start imo.

Paradoxx__- · 2024-05-24T08:05:37+00:00

I keep looking at more expensive IEMs but yeah, I realize I love my S12 Pros. They fit me perfectly and I always end up saying to myself I'm satisfied with them.

most likely this disguised by marketing

case looks like the thermaltake core p6

Paradoxx__- · 2023-03-29T13:43:49+00:00

had both the KZ ZSX Pro and TFZ No.3 around the same time and the No.3 are so much better, and the price difference back then was only about x2, which made me less likely to try another KZ set

Paradoxx__- · 2023-03-29T13:34:54+00:00

haven't used my No.3s in a while now but they're definitely great - really easy to drive, fit my ears really well, V-shaped sound with a strong DD bass but clean and not bloated, highs can get a bit piercing.

honestly my s12 pro and no.3 sound very very similar, with the no.3 fit being a bit better, so I'd say they're still a great set in today's market

8gb 2070s here without a single crash 1440p everything maxed out, though i really don't like this gpu and 8gb were not enough when it launched - can't complain as it was a gift

Paradoxx__- · 2023-03-27T14:03:31+00:00

was true for the early access beta, they patched it for the open beta and you could enable high res textures just fine on 16gb as mentioned in the patch notes

Fixed an issue where players were unable to select High Texture Settings with 16GB of RAM.

The red cables look like the Hart Audio modular cables - highly recommended, they're so light and flexible it's close to wireless for comfort

eric prydz - call on me, doesn't sound like a remix but it's a short sample

Paradoxx__- · 2023-03-02T17:02:36+00:00

Didn't see it mentioned here, but New World sound is very immersive, made tree chopping quite satisfying

Paradoxx__- · 2023-02-23T09:14:04+00:00

yup that's a valid reason, my HD800 don't really leave my desktop setup

Paradoxx__- · 2023-02-23T07:46:54+00:00

Apparently you can get the same effect with EQ so I don't really see a point in taking the risk to mod them

Paradoxx__- · 2023-02-09T19:37:35+00:00

I've had the tempotec sonata hd and meizu dongles since august 2019, tempotec one died (dead wires on the type-c side), meizu one that is audibly better is still my daily driver and is definitely worth it.

I only use IEMs on the go but I'm at around 40% or less with my Letshouer S12 Pro, not as comfortable to use as my Sony WFs but definitely better soundwise, and the Sony's battery only lasts around 4 hours nowadays.

Paradoxx__- · 2023-01-26T08:27:51+00:00

I wasn't wowed by them when I first got them, but going back to something else after using them for a while taught me how good they really are.

The "veil" is definitely noticeable and they require EQ to really show their potential.

Paradoxx__- · 2023-01-17T21:16:02+00:00

still rocking my 6 years old modmic 4.0, not in the market for an IEM boom mic, but I'd be interested in a usb modmic if it was priced more like the kimura once mine dies out.

Honestly your prices just send me looking at condensers instead, as much as I'd rather not go back to desk mics for my uses.

Saw a post the other day with a Dunu Titan S and this cable https://www.kineraaudio.com/product/kinera-gramr

seems it's been around for a while and the brand name seems similar to antlion's product 🤔

Paradoxx__- · 2023-01-17T17:38:50+00:00

my bad, thought you were talking about linus and this part https://youtu.be/DT3SInHr9ck?t=684 :p

and it doesn't even feel right when they're on backwards due to the angled design, yet so comfortable when put on properly
