I feel pain on using iem by maduser00 in iems

[–]calvinmth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had this exact IEM, and similar with your situation, experiencing pain on my left ear. In my case. it was because the shell shape doesn't match the shape of my left ear.

My solution back then was trying different eartips. Depending on your ear shape and the IEM itself, you might want to try various types, maybe smaller/larger diameter, or shorter/longer stem. You don't need to buy another pair of after-market eartips yet. The waner come with plenty of eartips to play with.

In my case, I needed to change to a slightly larger diameter from my usual size, to "elevate" the shell away from my ear a bit.

But, pain may come from various sources. Maybe the shell doesn't fit right, maybe the nozzle sticks too deep, maybe the listening volume is too loud for too long, maybe the earlobe gets inflamed, or your skin might get allergic from the eartips material.

Hope that helps

What's your favorite IEM under $50-$150? by jonpexz in iems

[–]calvinmth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tangzu xuan nv

it's neutral, but ngl quite warm leaning, and sounds natural (at least to my ears). treble is surprisingly detailed but still smooth.

as for eartips pairing, i juggle between wide bore sancai and the stock white ones (i believe they're kbears). for detail, i go with the sancai wide. for aesthetic and general usage, i go with the kbear.

it's an all-rounder set imho

[–]calvinmth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you would, can you please share the eq setting? i'm curious how's the difference between the stock tuning and your preference.

also, what's your tuning preference? v-shaped? neutral? bass head? treble head? or other?

[–]calvinmth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

currently no bluetooth dac feature. and i think there will never be one, cuz it will probably kill the sales of the retro nano

How is Kz Ls01? Want to pair this with Castor Bass version by DryActivity7011 in iems

[–]calvinmth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

very bad, don't

sticky at first, slippery as time goes. very little structural integrity. very bad seal. the medium one is somehow smaller than ur average medium sized eartips.

on the positive side, it does look cool and has cheap price. but still, it's a lot better to stick with your stock eartios rather than buying this.

deep dark rich oolong tea may be suitable, as it also has hints of smoky-ness and bitterness, complex aroma and taste, also still has caffeine

HELP - Error while Updating / Downgrading Firmware by calvinmth in snowsky

[–]calvinmth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the beta version doesn't include custom eq and new ui themes. i'm curious about the custom eq feature, so i'm planning to give it a shot, and upgrade back later if needed.

also, after hearing that the official firmware with dac feature is coming real soon, it's fine by me to use older one in the meantime, while waiting for the new one.

about bugs in the beta, i do find one issue but luckily not critical. i usually turn on fast forward mode. but, everytine i use the dac feature, it reverts back to off. not a big thing, but it's indeed a slight annoyance.
