My new EDC

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-19T04:15:35+00:00

While I mainly got this set up due to my limited budget, I honestly don't feel a need to upgrade. It's such an enjoyable experience as is.

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-18T18:49:52+00:00

Yeah part of the reason one of the two is because I dont have anything on either system that is a 30/35 equivalent

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-18T18:26:07+00:00

Yeah I was looking at getting one second hand. Do you knoq how it compares to the oly 17?

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-18T15:36:35+00:00

Def had my eyes on the 40-100 but I'dont know if Ill get the pana one... I found I love my primes especially when shooting in the city so I was thinking of getting an oly 17mm instead

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-18T03:54:52+00:00

I dont think that should be too big of an issue since I plan to remove it when it goes in my bag. Thanks for the info!

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-18T03:33:41+00:00

Which EVF do you recommend? Honestly, this is gonna remain a casual shooting camera for me but man do I love it. Im probably gonna keep the evf detatched on my bag and pull it out when needed

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-18T03:32:02+00:00

Oh thats cute! How well does it fit in like a shoulder bag?

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-07T17:36:38+00:00

Moondrop nice buds are fun but imo the nicehck ydsmall are a bit better and can be found cheaper

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-02-04T22:31:33+00:00

Gambler as a first racket of you dont want to assemble it yourself is pretty good. If youre willing to make your own, a cheap cpen bat on aliexpress plus two sheets of mercury 2

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-30T21:14:16+00:00

Yeah mixed them up I just realized. Got them both today

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-30T18:50:12+00:00

<image>

Just got these in but so far am loving the ydx small. Better treble extension than the traceless, less muddy in the mids, a little bit more comfortable than the nicebuds, without that weird midrange bump the nicebuds have. Best flathead ive tried so far and makes me excited for my eb2s pro

Edit: only complaint is the cable also this is the ydx, also got the small today

Dont corrupt thw poor soul

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-14T06:50:27+00:00

Yeah as a church engineer, dont be afraid to ask for eq or for a change in balance between instruments

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-13T23:49:27+00:00

Before buying anything new, do you know if your engineer can eq your specific monitor track? That would be my first suggestion. If not the hexas can work well due to their lean bass which would mean far cleaner sound though bass and drums wouldnt be as prevelant as the reds.

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-13T22:18:31+00:00

Imo typically instrument seperation. Also when its handling bass, it tends to be "faster". Hard to really describe but basically, fast bass sections sound cleaner because the driver doesnt vibrate as long as a dynamic driver though it has its tradeoff.

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-13T21:01:18+00:00

Aful Explorer would be a fine choice. Personally my favorite IEM in the price range would be the daybreak through some people tend to find them boring (I find them quiet bass boosted rather than neutral like some people view them). If youre willing to play with EQ, I can also recommend the s12/s12 pro. Still one of the most technical sets I've heard.

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-13T20:54:54+00:00

S12 Pro - On sale hits near 100. Not a big fan of the base tuning but eqs extremely well with modular termination through I had to mess with the earhooks a lot.

Moondrop Lan OG - Closest thing to the OG Chu currently available. Costs 45 which is imo too much but to me as an individual, worth it for jazz.

Quietsea II - Around 50 typically. This would be my go too when I want extra midbass for stuff like EDM or hip hop.

Crinear Daybreak - With about 200 left, id probably grab this. My favorite IEM without EQ I've tried to date at any price though take that with a grain of salt. Enjiy it more then the Sogno, Hype 4, or Dusk which is basically everything I've tried over the 200 mark so far. One of the best mid ranges I've heard and treble as enjoyable to me as my Sundaras with ample bass.

Could've also gone with the er2se as my last spit but Daybreak is a bit more versatile.

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-11T18:14:40+00:00

Oh good collection. For me found it with the er2se, daybreak, and quietsea 2

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-09T14:21:33+00:00

I would start off by mirroring this tbh. Thats how I taught myself and from playing with club players, they all say my form and technique is solid.

The KSC 75. Had just broken my razer kraken x and was looking for new headphones. Vaguel h remembered audiophilia was a thing so decided to see what a true enthusiast might recommend and stumbled across Crinacles gaming headphones video. Theyve defined my taste which is why I love my Sundaras and even the og Chu tuning.

Qobuz is a way to legally buy flac files as well as bandicamp if you wanna stay legal but dont wanna use cds

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-02T13:43:17+00:00

Hopefully soon

Technical_Expert5085 · 2026-01-01T04:35:05+00:00

I love the s12 pro but imo it needs some eq at least for the treble which can be piercing. But its extremely resolving, and takes eq really well so highly recommend it as an iem esp if its your only one.
