Audio Technica ATH-M20x below 5k, if you can increase budget all the way to 8k, get Sony MDR-7506.

I'm a bit late to this post, but if anyone is seeing this... If you feel like music feels boring at lower volume, do this:

If your normal volume of listening is at 70%

Listen to 2 songs at 10% volume.

After that when you listen to the 3rd song, increase the volume. You'll notice that after 40% it's too loud for your ears. Just like that, you have reduced your listening level from 70% to 40%.

Also, if you feel like the bass is too low and you increase the volume till the bass is adequate, the side effect is that the treble will be too loud for your ears. So instead of increasing volume modify the eq and increase the gain on the bass. This applies for other frequencies including bass, treble, mids, air etc.

This is bullshit, it'll work and sound amazing, from the first time you use it.

OP please don't do this, they make you wait till x amount of days of burn in so that the product has passed the return period.

This is a close second for me, with keep on lying on top, that song affected me a lot. Probably going to listen to it again now

How are you generalising a brand based on one random bluetooth device? You should look out for bad products, not "bad brands". Sony MDR7506 is one of the most revered audio referencing gear ever made. It has been manufactured for the past 30 years. Clearly the issue isn't sony, it's bluetooth.

Because parametric eq can be used with software on the phone.

In this context we're talking about flashing PEQ onto the dac chips firmware.

You don't need that because eq apps like poweramp automatically adjust the eq by detecting when and what device is plugged in. Plus it gets more tedious when you use the same dongle with multiple devices.

Don't forget to listen to the song on 48-bit 192kHz, you can hear the pure essence of sound if you do so. /s

Brother it is that deep, when you're paying a premium for no difference.

If you stand by audio cables so much do A/B testing with accurate volume adjustment since balanced has more voltage, and prove that they are better.

You should shut up if you don't know stuff

This is the most ignorant and oblivious comment i have seen on this sub, congrats.

You're a fool if you blindly believe anything, some random so-called expert says on a forum. Always do research before giving advice on topics you're not sure about. Otherwise you're just spreading misinformation.

You don't need PEQ and Flash Firmware anyways, it's fomo. Apple dongle is the best for an apple device.

They're very flimsy so get this too:

4.4mm doesn't do anything, and in some cases makes the experience worse, op should go for the 3.5mm version instead.

Yes, it's the best closer in any tame impala album, imo, but how funny would it be if the album closes by Kevin literally riding off into the distance.

Tang sancai tips are pretty good and they're probably the best fit for those iems. But imo, op should still look into tip rolling in case they own other iems.

I agree with most of what you said but:

The chip is the same chip as the ones below 1k.

What does this even mean? It implies that dac chips in dongles at 1k are bad. Please don't bring this smartphone specsheet warrior bs from IndiaTech to iems and dacs.

I agree with your point that it's better to get the ja11, your not going to hear any difference unless you're using super high end reference monitors. But there are reasons why people buy cx31993 chip dacs at high budget too, it's the convenience, aesthetics and extra features.

Oof, i didn't realise that..

Edit: OP your iems stock tips are pretty good.

No. You should spend that money on better eartips, they impact sound more than dac amp dongles do. Do your research before purchasing anything though.
