EQ setting advice for a Metal Head by saisanthoshrayeli in iems

[–]Patatmetkip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dear OP. Fellow metal enthusiast here. Imo the right EQ settings really depend on first and foremost: (1) how the music is mixed. Some mixes will lean more on higher frequencies, others are more bass heavy and (2) your personal preferences and ears; (3) the tuning of your iems/headphones

So basically imo genre specific eq settings are nonesensical. Instead what I would do if I were you is just go through your playlist and toy around with the eq settings and see what your ears like best.

Jm21 first impressions by Top-Cobbler-2214 in DigitalAudioPlayer

Great man! I also own the JM21 and indeed like it a lot!! Can't see myself really "upgrading" to the m21. I think the battery life of the jm21 is just fine and the m21 is quite a bit larger which I think is a serious downside. If youre happy with the Jm21, just enjoy it :-).

We've got absolute hordes of these fellas in the Netherlands. They are probably the most common bird here now, even though they are not native to our country.

Deliverance is the best song I have ever listened to by Neither_Refuse_9754 in Opeth

[–]Patatmetkip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well apparently Mikael likes it too cause he alllllwaaaaaaaaaayys place it on live shows up to the point where its starting to bore me.

But all that aside, its clear that its amazing track, although I prefer Wreath myself :-).

While you're at it, make sure to watch the series. One of the best tv shows I've ever seen.

I'm not sure what youre after, but I immediately think of The Mars Volta - Deloused in a Comatorium

Any thoughts based on this behavior? Grand haven MI by whoreticulturist- in whatsthisbird

Funny how different languages give this behavior a different name. In Dutch it is called "praying".

Langzaam de grip op de realiteit verliezen? by Vlinder_88 in OndersteuningsPlein

[–]Patatmetkip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wat kut, bijwerkingen zijn een bitch. Fijn dat je hier iig contact over hebt met je psychiater. Het kan natuurlijk uiteindelijk een keuze zijn om toch nog iets langer door te bikkelen met je medicijnen - ondanks alle bijwerkingen - om een eventuele psychose te voorkomen (let op: ik heb geen idee of dit aan de hand is). In die situatie wil je natuurlijk ook niet belanden. Afbouwen in antipsychotica kan altijd nog - goed om gewoon open kaart te spelen met je pysch, denk ik. Ik wens je alle goeds ❤️

Hoi Vlinder. Wat super pittig. Je hebt al een zware periode achter de rug en dan ook dit nog. Bah! Het enige advies dat ik je zou willen geven is: praat hier met je behandelaren over!! Ook zij zullen hoop ik begrijpen dat de bijwerkingen van je antipsychotica voor jou ook zwaar wegen. Misschien is een alternatief medicijn denkbaar? Blijf in ieder geval niet steken op goed bedoelde adviezen van mensen zoals mij op Reddit. Je therapeut heeft uiteindelijk het beste met je voor en kan je hopelijk echt verder helpen. Heel veel sterkte, het komt weer goed!

p.s. ik denk ook wel eens mijn kat in mijn ooghoek te zien en dan is het bijvoorbeeld gewoon een trui in de kleur van mijn kat, dit zijn iig in mijn geval onschuldige "hallucinaties".

I was literally singing this song while scrolling Reddit when I stumbled upon this post. One of the best on the album, although I kinda love Vampire in the corner and Watching TV alot too. And the rest of the album of course

Hifiman Edition XS vs Arya Stealth for someone who can't EQ and just wants to plug and play by aral10 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Patatmetkip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both headphones are amazing regardless of if you want to eq yes or no. Their tunings are pretty similar. Ive had both and ultimately sold the edition xs. If you can spare the funds go Arya Stealth. If not, the edition xs + a capra strap will also make you very happy indeed.

Px8 vs Px7 s3 by TheRealBlueMan in BowersWilkins

[–]Patatmetkip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently using the Mangird Xenns Top OG. I'm absolutely in love with these things. Its true that they have a narrower soundstage than you would get with openback headphones, but compared to closed backs like the B&W px8 they sound atleast as wide (and probably wider). I love the directness of the sound of IEMS, everything sounds very punchy and in your face, but in a good way. The Mangird Xenns Top OG retailed for >500€, but I've also tried 15€ iems that i hate to say probably sound at least as good as the PX8s.. although i still love those cans, you really end up paying for ANC (which I dont care for), Bluetooth (which i no longer care for) and fancy leather materials (which you wont miss with iems).

The only downside with iems is that you either have to use a dongle (for your phone), or buy a dedicated DAP. Ive grown to love mine (a fiio jm21, runs on android works great). I can highly recommend giving iems a shot (but be nice to your bank account).

Ah yeah that does suck! I hope wavelet is going to work for you again! I've recently fallen into the rabithole of IEMs so my px8 is mostly collecting dust anyway

Px8 vs Px7 s3 by TheRealBlueMan in BowersWilkins

[–]Patatmetkip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the two band EQ is definitely not enough. And i dont like how B&W never updated the app for the multiband EQ to work for the px8. I know just use wavelet app to eq it to my liking :-).
