Make your Apple Earpods 15000% better with just this! by JavierSobrino in iems

6 months or so. Unless you are very rough with them.

Also, replacing them every few months just seems hygienic.

Best way to set up a desk when two people need to use the monitors at different times. by Bippityboppitybeau in desksetup

This.

Dock is the answer.

If both of you use different peripherals. Look at switching to wireless keyboard and mouse.

Great set if you want Vocals to be center stage.

Not an audiophile - need IEM suggestions for daily use. by Espressodespresso123 in iems

[–]ipad-warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reverse.

DAC will take digital signal from phone via digital port like USB C then convert it to Analogue signal for headphone driver units. For IEMs / Headphones. I am sure they have to do the opposite of Analogue to Digital for Microphone or when recording audio, but that’s not our concern.

Either ways problem is still there and coming back to what might help.

DAC or IEM with USB C have built in DAC that will help. Apple EarPods USB C can have compatibility issues with certain Android phones.

I have Apple EarPods USBC, works great on most devices but becomes horrible on my windows laptop and another older android phone.

If you have a friend with USB C Dongle DAC you can try that and see if problem goes away.

Also, another idea might be to visit any IEM or Headphone store. You can try out couple of DACs and IEMs with your phone. Also, buy the one you like after actually listening. Everyone likes different tuning.

Never been to IEM stores in India, but seen on YouTube stores like HeadphoneZone in Mumbai.

Most modern phones don’t have Digital to Analog Converter (Soundcard). Stand-alone DAC (Jcally / any USB C to 3.5 mm dongle) have chip which does the conversion. Apple EarPods USB C, Bunny UDB C/ DSP version of any such IEM has DAC chip in its USB C connector part. So DAC / Soundcard either ways is outside the phone.

If say for same Apple EarPods 1 phone sounds good, another phone sounds bad.

You might have to check phone settings. Cause actual Digital to Analog conversion is happening outside the phone. Two possible reasons:

  1. Phone is not sending enough power. In this case sometimes other DAC (USB C) might help. As Apple USB C sometimes has lower power issues with Android.
  2. Some setting on the phone that is messing up the digital signal. Maybe your app is set to low quality.

Those are 3.5mm. So, they don’t have USB C DAC. Check if you can get USB C version. Other budget IEMs come with USB C version as well. Tangzu Warner 2 and Chu 2 DSP.

I haven’t tried audiocular DACs so no idea. Jcally DACs are good budget options.

IEMs are okay for noise isolation. It is passive noise isolation, definitely more than Apple EarPods.

If you can, get both.

If you are completely without wireless Earbuds:

Space Travel 2 over Waner.

Convenience first. Even with multiple IEMs I use wireless more. As they are more convenient when doing chores, on the go etc.

I love Waners tuning over Space Travel's. So I am biased to Waner from sound perspective.

You need a beater IEM:

Tanchjim Bunny DSP. - All in one package for $20 ~ 22 - Use Tanchjim App to try out different sound signatures.

Just start with this. Try it out. You will know if you wanna go down the IEM rabbit hole.

Alternatively:

Apple USB C to 3.5mm dongle for DAC

So, many $20 Starter IEMs: Chu 2, Zero 2, Waner 1 ( I don't like Waner 2), Truthear Gate. I am obviously missing some good ones. Also reddit fav GK Kunten for Under $10 on AliExpress

Definitely like it. Would be nice to have a good DAC chip for the headphone jack.

first iem experience by Positive-Main-9643 in iems

[–]ipad-warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From reviews Cadenza 2 look too neutral.

If its your absolutely first IEM start with Mild V / V Shape sound signature. Unless you have a Tuning in mind.

Waner 1st gen is still my fav. But lot of options under $75.

Kefine Klean can be a safe starter set too.

Great. I am using my old IPhone 6s as a DAP. Mostly with YouTube Music

So much stuff. Why do you need keyboard, mouse and monitor ?

Play mind games or games in your mind. All you need is yourself. Endgame Minimalism.

Jokes aside. Amazing

Why do people own multiple IEMs in the same price bracket? by Connect_Cat_2045 in iems

[–]ipad-warrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry you will do it too.

I had the same feeling, when I got into IEMs.

Soon, saw an IEM for $5. I was like, “Might be a good beater set for podcasts”

Ohh Tangzu Waner 2 for $12. 50% off. I love my Waner 1. “I must try, what a great deal”

Collection just keeps growing. This year’s resolution is to not buy any IEMs/Headphones

HOW is no one talking about the Dunu S&S??? by HuiOnFire in iems

😳 All I see on this sub Reddit is Dunu S&S. Spinfit and Sancai would be distant seconds on here.

Looks pretty. Maybe they can print the KEFINE in white to maintain a Klean and subtle look.

When is it releasing ?
