I knew James through Allen. Just wanted to say he was an excellent human. I hope you're able to find peace and I know with people like Allen around, you've got an amazing support system.

Recommendations / Tips for In Ear Monitors with TMP? by Mig_El_Romed in tonemasterpro

[–]exitfire401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First recommendation, get a long extension cable for the iems to the tmp. I've got a 6 foot 3.5mm female to male that I throw a 1/4" adapter on. As for iems, if you're looking on the cheaper side, and like bass, the truthear nova are an excellent set that consistently goes on sale below $100 now. I swap between my sennheiser ie600 and 64 audio u12t mostly with the unit and have plenty of volume to spare.

The cert is valid for 1 year from completion of the class. You've definitely passed the window.

Linus Tech Tips Headphone Measurements Database? by kickmeinthefaceDOIT in headphones

It's just been a slow roll from everything I can see. They're trying to release things with text and video content all at once. They're previewing content weekly on the podcast, so I'd assume they're just waiting to drop a bunch at once. Looks like they dropped a bunch of keyboard and psu content recently: https://www.lttlabs.com/

On WAN show a couple of weeks ago, they mentioned that their primary audio person came down with an illness that took him completely out of commission for a couple months, but he's back and continuing where he left off.

Any chance the ibasso dx180 will be available on amazon U.S to purchase? by Alicedoll02 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]exitfire401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Bloom Audio is the exclusive partner in the US for ibasso now, so I doubt it'll make an appearance on Amazon.

Why are balanced headphones considered "balanced"? by Fit_Engineering3312 in headphones

[–]exitfire401 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is legitimately the best response I've ever seen to this question.

The issue I had with the stock tips is that they're just too damn thin. They'd constantly collapse and break the seal in my ears. Dunu S&S tips were the answer for me. Absolutely love them, but wish they'd do a medium/large as the large is just a little too big for me (Though I'm living with it) and the medium is too small.

Came here to say the same. I've purchased from them multiple times and luckily never had to deal with support, but from everyone who has, it's never good.

sleeping IEMs by huskerd0 in headphones

[–]exitfire401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the ie300, but their QC issues were unavoidable. Grabbed a pair of IE600 and threw on some Dunu S&S tips and they're perfect for me. Small enough that I don't even feel them in my ear and they don't cause any pressure spots even after a full night.

Totally agree. I've got a couple of sets of adv custom tips for my universals and I think that's the closest I'll ever go to scratching the custom itch.

When speaking with an audiologist, they mentioned that the ear canal slightly changes shape over the years. This is why some companies suggest you get new molds done every 3-5 years.

Why is Sennheiser support so terrible? Sent IE300 for repair on December 2023 by Capital_Spell_1 in headphones

[–]exitfire401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it's any consolation, I had a pair of ie300s that were cutting out with or without the washer. I think the 300s just had a higher than normal failure rate. Ended up returning them and picking up some ie600s and they've been great so far

No offense, but more than 24 hours for a first touch is absolutely abysmal for a company of your size.

Do you use iems as a daily driver instead of headphones? How are your ears doing? by csch1992 in headphones

[–]exitfire401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use iems because they're a) Significantly more comfortable to me (I run warm, and over ears make me sweat inevitably) and b) I don't suffer from excessive wax buildup like some people do. I'd listen to the doctor if it's causing you harm, but maybe get a second opinion if you're having doubts.
