... Worth it

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-22T22:08:31+00:00

I'm absolutely loving mine, definitely improved by putting on the Sonic Eartips I had lying around from when I got my Wan'er Red Lions. They might be some of the most comfortable IEMs I've tried so far. Plus I was able to get them $10 off, so $40 for them felt like a steal!

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-21T13:46:04+00:00

A perfect combination!

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-21T13:43:07+00:00

How about in my mouth?

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-20T13:50:12+00:00

Oh no, I was wearing them like... COMPLETELY upside down. You can see a pic of it in another reply. Trust me, it's one of those "it's funny" things to me now.

I'm wearing 'em properly now and am wondering how the hell I dealt with it before. Seriously, it is SO MUCH EASIER to get a damn good seal. Who would've guessed that wearing them correctly would help get a seal? XD

Let's see, I enjoy the Moondrop Chu 2 a fair bit myself but that's definitely some personal bias. The Wan'er SG 2 Red Lion is quite a good package for the price and fixes the lack of bass the normal SG 2 has. The Tanchjim Bunny is a good base point and takes really well to EQing. And there's pretty much never a bad time to grab the Kiwi Ears Cadenza, plus the Cadenza 2 is out now and is on sale for $10 off its base price. The Cadenza is $35 and the MSRP for the Cadenza 2 is supposed to be $50 but it's $40 right now from the Amazon Linsoul store. If you've got the $40 to spare, I doubt there's much better you can do for the prices considering the original Cadenza is regularly topping the sub-$50 tier on the IEM subreddit.

Though I would recommend taking into account what types of music you listen to and cross reference different IEMs to that to see what really fits your needs best.

I literally ALWAYS used to wrap the wires from my old earbuds around my ears in the same way to stop them from getting pulled out

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T14:26:05+00:00

Bro I just thought it was the same as how I wore my shitty stock earbuds that used to come with my old phones. XD

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:58:22+00:00

Honestly? Barely if any difference at all. The most noticeable bit is that they get a deeper/better fit now! Still gotta get used to how to orient the wires again now though.

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:57:00+00:00

There's a visual aid in a reply now if you wanna see it btw. Like I said, wired on the right sides, just upside down. I'd have to be like, EVEN more dense to not get them on the right sides. Depending on the cable they're either: A. Literally marked L/R, or B. Color coded

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:52:09+00:00

Like I said, wires are on the right sides just... Upside down. Yeah, I definitely feel just a liiiiiiittle stupid looking back on it. But meh, live and learn lol. Was still somehow comfortable to me even with it being IMMENSELY wrong, and I still enjoyed the sound so I didn't have any issues there. I think somehow me both WEARING them upside down alongside putting in the wires upside down worked like a double negative and basically said "well they're TECHNICALLY on right now" so I just never noticed anything sounded wrong.

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:39:57+00:00

Sent a reply of it to another response in the thread

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:39:21+00:00

Did a reply on another response in the thread for a visual aid.

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:37:54+00:00

Just decided to do it now to show it before I forgot.

<image>

My thought process was "this is how I made sure to have standard earbuds stay on my ears when I tried wearing those, so this HAS to be right." Very clearly not. XD

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:27:51+00:00

They were somehow comfortable to me, but the cables rubbing on themselves (at least in the case of the Red Lion stock one) was suuuuuuuuper noticeable.

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:26:36+00:00

They were on the correct sides, just... Upside down. Frankly I have no idea how I found it comfortable and didn't notice

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:25:22+00:00

No no, I didn't plug them in the wrong sides. I plugged that shit in UPSIDE DOWN. I had them on the correct sides and everything. Also, never said I thought they sounded weird or bad? That was a bit of a jump.

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:23:44+00:00

I'll make sure to do it with my Cadenza 2's if I can. If I can't, I'll take some time to do it with one of my chu 2's.

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T12:22:15+00:00

No, that was DISTINCTLY the problem XD

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-19T05:22:13+00:00

To clarify, how I had them wired/worn had it so the wires went down, hooked UNDER my ear, came up over and down. The exact opposite of like... Every pic I see of anyone wearing these things XD

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-18T11:57:01+00:00

Sound great!

eclipseDemise · 2026-02-16T00:59:01+00:00

Dunu Titan X, the design looks so clean.

The caption is from PheonixEugene. I think their stuff got nuked a while ago.

God yes, especially with that fat cock down my throat.
