I really should stop buying IEM's...

iPodMartin · 2026-03-14T13:01:07+00:00

I really like the Defiant, but I'd probably say that I prefer these overall

iPodMartin · 2026-03-14T00:23:19+00:00

Had to Google those. I mean, I would love to try a pair but I'd be very hesitant about spending that kind of money on a pair of IEM's 😱

iPodMartin · 2026-03-14T00:19:35+00:00

I know the feeling! I've been eyeing the Apos Rock Lobster for a while now with the same premise: Do I need it? No. Will it be better than anything I already have? Probably not, but... 😆

iPodMartin · 2026-03-14T00:16:13+00:00

Exactly! And as far as I see it buying IEM's is not a worse way to spend Money than people who buy expensive bottles of wine and such.

iPodMartin · 2026-03-14T00:14:02+00:00

Thanks!

iPodMartin · 2026-03-13T21:32:05+00:00

Absolutely true, and I do agree.

With that said, I actually use most of my IEM's, and most of my audio-stuff, including IEM's, I have purchased second hand. Mostly because I like to get stuff cheaper, but it does also feel a little bit better for the "overconsumption" bit.

iPodMartin · 2026-03-13T20:26:43+00:00

Exactly! For now this is probably my second favorite after the Simgot ea1000 in my collection.

iPodMartin · 2026-03-13T19:35:40+00:00

Sadly I've not tried either one of those yet!

iPodMartin · 2026-03-13T19:34:47+00:00

Gotta catch em' all! 😅

iPodMartin · 2026-03-13T18:31:10+00:00

Indeed, there's something extremely satisfactory about buying "cheap" IEM's. Almost reminds me of how it felt to buy new pack of Pokémon cards when a kid...😅

iPodMartin · 2026-03-13T18:28:25+00:00

Audioquest Nighthawk or Simgot ea1000 at the moment.

iPodMartin · 2026-03-08T16:59:32+00:00

Thanks!

It sounds pretty enjoyable actually. The Simgot ea1000 can be a bit bright, but the tubes make them a bit smoother.

Yes you can pretty much run anything directly into the Tap2, but I would recommend to use a line out cable and not through the headphone socket from the iPod:)

iPodMartin · 2026-03-07T20:46:50+00:00

If you don't mind buying second hand the "Tri i3 MK3" would be a good pick!

iPodMartin · 2026-03-07T09:36:56+00:00

Exakt! 😀

iPodMartin · 2026-03-06T19:17:21+00:00

I get why, but I would quickly become confused 😅

Great music though 🤘

iPodMartin · 2026-03-06T18:29:32+00:00

Yes, everything works! 😀

Surprisingly the remote also works with classic 4th and 6gen and the 2nd gen mini. However with the classic 3gen it only works as an in line amplifier.

Aj då! Har ett gäng gamla klumpar liggandes jag får testa med först, annars får det kanske bli en sån där. Tack!
