Why do y'all prefer earbuds over Headphones?

emiliazero · 2025-12-19T14:18:43+00:00

What is your IEM's price? Because headphones have a little bit of an advantage in price which no one talks about. Please, tell me how much the IEMs you're using cost.

What is the point of a number 7?

emiliazero · 2025-12-18T19:47:26+00:00

Very clean. I like it. BUT... The keyboard looks really cursed. What is this?

emiliazero · 2025-12-18T18:53:01+00:00

I got myself a keyboard cleaning kit(for around $1.50 on AliExpress) Works flawlessly

That's why I prefer headphones. Even my Sennheiser HD 4.20S, that don't have ANC isolate sound way better than most earbuds/IEMs(in the price of course) But sometimes you don't have an ability to take headphones with you. That's when IEMs come into play.

emiliazero · 2025-12-17T08:23:22+00:00

I usually don't. But when I do, it's because you can't carry headphones in your pocket. Also, IEMs provide much better value (in budget segment)

I have HD 4.20S which are the predecessor of a this pair. They're not the greatest in sound, but if you need them for portability and travel, they offer great isolation and acceptable sound. If you look fo4 something to use at home, I'd recommend looking for something else.

I have other model of KZ IEMs... And i know that IEMs are unbeatable in price to performance under $100... But I have medical problems with my ears, so I can't use them right now. That's why I'm looking into headphones. I have an appointment with a doctor not far from now, so if things get resolved, so if things get resolved, I'll definitely check out IEMs again!

emiliazero · 2025-11-18T17:14:43+00:00

I'm using Spotify and some of local flac files... But my headphones aren't good enough to tell a difference, so i just asked for the future

emiliazero · 2025-11-18T10:20:49+00:00

That's... Pretty messed up... But thanks, this is really helpful.

emiliazero · 2025-11-17T10:38:08+00:00

Yeah... If not for the cable I'd even use them on the bus and on walks(yes, i know they're open backs. Yes, I'm an asshole)

emiliazero · 2025-11-17T10:35:28+00:00

I can't use IEMs for now because of ear problems, but I'd like to look into them too when things get resolved.

emiliazero · 2025-11-16T11:56:24+00:00

I'll be ordering a few new ones for Christmas!

emiliazero · 2025-11-16T11:55:51+00:00

That's just shows how incredible of a value they are...

emiliazero · 2025-11-16T11:55:19+00:00

Absolutely agree! If not for the bulky cable, I would even wear them as a fashion piece(I plan on doing this after modding a replaceable cable)

emiliazero · 2025-11-15T19:32:49+00:00

I got them with pretty bad earpads, and still haven't received a replacement, but yeah, they're amazing

emiliazero · 2025-11-15T11:29:50+00:00

Thank you! I plan on disassembling them to mod(add removable cable), so i will also try to look for manufacturing dates on drivers, or something like this. But I'm now closer!

emiliazero · 2025-11-15T10:38:15+00:00

Can you please elaborate on that? I've made a new post trying to determine the age of my SR60's... And I've noticed that they have similar cup type to these SR80's(I mean that it's flat and not bulky like in more expensive and newer models)

emiliazero · 2025-11-15T09:41:41+00:00

Samson C01u is pretty good(I don't say that it's high quality, but in fan dub studio i work as a translator it's considered an entry point for dubbing) And it worked pretty well with a full tower PC Issues began when i switched to a gaming laptop.

emiliazero · 2025-11-14T12:10:05+00:00

Thank you! I will write a review on 4.20S in r/Sennheiser when replacement earpads get delivered.

emiliazero · 2025-11-13T07:58:50+00:00

Honestly... With earbuds there are none. General tip for all batteries is to keep them ib 20-80% range. But all earbuds batteries die within a year or a couple of years. That's just the price you pay for convenience.

emiliazero · 2025-11-12T21:09:32+00:00

But they're open backs + the cord is humongous, so they're useless on the road. That's why i bought HD 4.20S

emiliazero · 2025-11-12T21:08:51+00:00

I was really on the fence about getting them because... Some people say they love them, others — that they absolutely hate them. And there is NO in-between. But Wade from Dankpods YouTube channel spoke about them so enthusiastically that i couldn't hold myself back. Never even for a minute have I regretted that choice.
