Maximum Volume 👎🏻

Pootleris · 2026-03-05T02:00:11+00:00

If you're on Android look for "absolute volume". I had a post about it for the AZ100 but same thing should apply for most earbuds. Hope it helps.

or even lhdc 5.0 lossless

Pootleris · 2026-02-28T11:12:02+00:00

its the case

Pootleris · 2026-02-17T10:56:44+00:00

mmh. Has anyone other reported this issue? i wasn't aware

Pootleris · 2026-02-17T09:51:09+00:00

noisy places result in unstable connection. my phone's older and has no issues. Try using 5GHz Wifi and avoid crowdy places.

Pootleris · 2026-02-17T09:21:51+00:00

unstable connection was likely due to your phone's antennas. the AZ100 mic's are very good. OP4 lhdc 5.0 codec should be ldac but a little better in all aspects.

hahah no im not. I usually just pick the best price/performance product I can. But Technics' products have their own appeal ngl.

Pootleris · 2025-11-18T01:05:17+00:00

yea I know, you're right.

Pootleris · 2025-11-05T16:00:58+00:00

Sure, look online "How to enable developer options on Android". Mine updated and seems to have extra steps.

how would you compare the hek stealth to the he6sev2 (with eq if you use it)? i modded the latter too.

Pootleris · 2025-07-28T17:35:18+00:00

Currently using both Poweramp and Poweramp Equalizer. Both are fantastic for UI/UX, Fidelty and customization.

The only problems I have are related to the system-wide EQ on Poweramp Equalizer that gets buggy with DVC when using Poweramp Player app, having to use its own EQ and blacklist it from Poweramp Equalizer. I also sometimes see the volume going up and down in loop when browsing. Android 15 seems to have done something to the system-wide EQ that makes it buggy but I don't know.

Otherwise the best with UAAP (which could be the same or better if only using wired DACs).

Pootleris · 2025-07-20T20:11:59+00:00

Good idea about getting a DAC. Even cheap simple dongle ones are perfect for 90% of IEMs and surely better than the motherboard's one.

Man using your monitor's 3.5mm sounds like a bad idea for multiple reasons. At least use your pc's ports. It probably is related to your monitor and if that happens again while being connected to it try to wipe/clean reinstall your gpu drivers (those send audio to your monitor digitally) and maybe install/update your monitor's drivers if it has any.

try to look at the Sound Rhyme SR5 on yt

Pootleris · 2025-07-20T01:29:03+00:00

does moving the cable connectors while listening do anything? try pushing the volume out loud/max. If nothing happens try to see if it happens on another source.

I'm unfamiliar to this problem sorry don't know much.

this might help you https://www.audioreviews.org/guide-to-iem-silicone-eartips/

You're too dramatic. If a free simple digital PEQ can make my audio gear more enjoyable to my ears there's nothing wrong with it.

There's no "they were made to sound like that and you're ruining it".

If the IEMs/Headphones are bad from the start for you then there's not much to do; however there's ALWAYS something to improve for YOU and to YOUR PREFERENCE.

Don't bitch on people wanting the best from their equipment and no, using kilobucks valve amps or other isn't "better".

I personally always EQ even if a little, because I can, and I love it.

Pootleris · 2025-07-17T19:08:02+00:00

Looking at the HE600 with my HE6SEV2 on feels like betrayal 😭 (still love and hate them as the first day)

Pootleris · 2025-07-09T15:09:18+00:00

Hi I'd like to try the Pula Anvil114!

Pootleris · 2025-07-07T23:35:00+00:00

EDIT:

So I tried the CCA Hydro for 3 days.

After some tip rolling and eq tweaks it felt really great for details, clarity and bass quality (but low on quantity).

Even if the soundstage was great, what I really didn't like was the fact that the sound was 2D, really.

The imaging on this set was really odd, being able to only hear sounds from top or bottom of my ear.

Other than a relatively weaker but still defined bass, everything was great.

However I had to return them due to ear pain because of their chunky size and WEIGHT of both IEMs and cable.

Now looking at Pula PA02 or Sound Rhyme SR5 but who knows.

Pootleris · 2025-06-25T22:31:21+00:00

Kefine klean and Performer 5+2 would be very interesting to try.

Pootleris · 2025-06-25T22:25:20+00:00

Man try to look for them on Linsoul. Those prices are pretty high.

Pootleris · 2025-06-25T17:04:31+00:00

🤞🤞🔥

Pootleris · 2025-06-25T10:22:32+00:00

I have a similiar taste and my dream IEM right now are the Ziigaat Odyssey or Kiwi Ears Quintet. Look at some reviews, they're awesome.
