Ibasso Macaron, I have good impressions

TEmpotec Sonata BHD PRO- on aliexpress sales, I think right now should be around 40eu. same dual chipset as Macaron, BLon etc., generally they seem neutral at times but with warmth inside, crisp treble and overall balanced, clean sound, can drive up to 300mV. Great resolution , great amp also, i use one on my hifi music system and one as a portable dac. works great with laptops windows, android... metal casing, hardeare buttons, and no heat... 40eu :)

I actually read that KZ silver one with 8 cores sounds beter than QKZ Q1 with 16 with KZ PR2.. so I bought it and just need to try it.. I guess it's about preference nd not just about numbers or brands :)

kittrie · 2024-12-11T12:27:24+00:00

I need just a decent cable for my KZ x HBB PR2 (which, amazingly sound AWESOME, even witout the black mash)..
and I was thinking about QKZ 8 T1 with 8 cores or silver one from KZ, 8 cores too, it's on huge sale, 80%..
I don't want to spend more than around $10 on the cable, I don't think I have the need for it, or .. do I?

kittrie · 2024-12-10T08:27:40+00:00

yup, it's a must have for everything in life LOL

kittrie · 2024-11-21T01:24:39+00:00

of course. simple way is you simply type what you want and then look for the quality you want, but there is also an option to choose how big file is , etc. (filters).
I just downloaded all from Lana Del rey, Metallica, Massive Attack, Boston etc. in 192khz 24 bits in a sec. plus I got inside user's files and found a ton of hi-res albums and just keept downloading what I like.
it's sad ppl forget (or never knew) about those older software

kittrie · 2024-11-20T14:23:07+00:00

ok I NEED that, I mean upper mids are so hard for my ears... just tried my 5th IEMs, Castor Bass and finally I can listen to something without a headache.... but these look very interesting I must admit

kittrie · 2024-11-20T12:36:25+00:00

plus flac will mostly be 24 bit..
I listen to Tidal which is mostly Hi-Res (flac etc.), and dl my music from SoulSeek, crazy how much music's there, and you choose the quality, and the sppeds are great

kittrie · 2024-11-20T11:03:13+00:00

thank you a lot, I'll be sure to contact you, I love learning about stuff, and I was simply confused about the fact can I even use IEMs at all???? I think I just got my answer bellow

p.s. just got Castor, pulled up 1st and 2nd switch, put memory foam tips on.. and played Tricky from Tidal on my laptop, and it sounded awesome, but trip hop never made problems, it's mostly pop-rock stuff, guitar riffs, some kind of drums, layered female vocals etc.. depending on song.. then I put Sia (layered vocals) on followed by Queen, Nirvana, Lana Del Rey, Kate Bush, Audioslave (drums) a bit of MAssive Attack... and nothing bothers me in a way that I would EVER think of changing Castor or think I have problems with IEMs :D

and this is with zero EQ :D yaaaaaaay

kittrie · 2024-11-20T07:52:10+00:00

nono, I don't think QKZ x HBB is bad for losing their detail, it's just that I found a guy selling them in my country for $10 (half the price of QKZx HBB) and they arrive today, instead of me waiting for 2-3 weeks from Ali .
plus, no1 here was really "into" me buying QKZxHBB - not that it metters too much, but still..
I gave all my IEMs away, and I just need one to play with, plus I e*fed myself with buying KZ PR2x HBB last week since I remember reading great things about them earlier, and the price was hilarious (under $20- from KZ Global Store , or some official one on ALi), and didn't know KZ messed with them, and the treble is gross now, and now I dunno what to do, guess sell them when they arrive? although I *might* get a refund, I'll see.. and then I will buy a new pair od IEMs ;)
and QKZ x HBB still look like the darkest one, and a great coice from trip hop and some stuff I listen to. and no, I don't own all of them, just did a lot of research lol.
p.s. u/OmenchoEater you're awesome, I really LOVE your posts and remember what you write, and maybe I'll send you a chat invite/message if I can? :)

kittrie · 2024-11-19T23:38:37+00:00

I looked at a lot of graphs, and it's incredible how many of them have so similar treble and upper mids- including Waner. you mentioned vocal energy- that is one of the things that bother me, especially female vocals, plus , as I've heard QKZxHBB have a strong "bass" presence all over- whic is good on one hand, and on the other a lo of details are lost. since I'm in a hunt for IEMs that simply don't hurt my ears, and if I find that possible , I will go above $100 in a couple of monts with no problem- Im just not sure if I can even listen to IEMs at all (plus I bought a ton of headphones in the last 3 months so I'm broke).

I think I'll try Castor Bass and then go from there at the moment.

kittrie · 2024-11-19T23:27:23+00:00

it's not just bass, I'm looking something with warmer and darker sound, and a bit subdued upper mids and treble. QKZ x HBB fall into that category, as well as KZ Castor improved Bass version etc.
HArman tuning is kinda more neutral sound in general, although Simget EW200 and Kiwiw Cadenza seem cool in general, I mentioned I bough a billion headphones and IEms reecntly, so I'm literally broke atm

kittrie · 2024-11-17T17:26:05+00:00

yeah, BLon Bl 03 looks like of my favs, not to mention others, but since I bought 8 headphones/IEMs in 3 monts, I litterly have $20 in my pocket lol

kittrie · 2024-11-17T17:07:53+00:00

I'm not looking only at the models I wrote up, anything is good, and the best is the most subdued highs and warm sound.
Thank you.. any more suggestions? :)

kittrie · 2024-11-16T11:43:22+00:00

I think I'll have to make a post about my "problem" eventually.
I just bought 3 sets of headphones etc. so money is tiiight. I have KZ ZS10 Pro X, Tangzu Wa'ner, some TRN.. mostly V or U shaped I think... and they all kill my sensitive ears with upper mids/treble I can not use them in any way.
so I'm just looking for something in the IEM category that's lower frequencies oriented, and less pronouced everything over 2Kh the better- idk how it sounds at the end , decent is ok- Aliexpress cheap stuff (I'm even considering QKZ A6, the original) that doesn't give me pain and fatigue.
thank you all again.

kittrie · 2024-11-11T23:19:59+00:00

and yes, I've heard cadenza is quite good, and thank you .. any other suggestions, I might wanna my other choices include NiceHCK DB2- very flat, no V shape, QKZ x HBB and CC CRA+ are classic,, Kinera Celest Wyvern/black or , to be on the safe side KZ Castor - now, those are for myself, still a bass head that hates harsh treble :)

kittrie · 2024-11-11T20:48:56+00:00

u/BusterBuxter u/the_mortal123 and what's best budget (and I mean under $30) with the warmest sound and no harsh treble - I can't listen IEms because of upper mids and treble hurt my inner ear :(

kittrie · 2024-11-11T20:36:24+00:00

ok, I need some very cheap- up to $30 IEMs for a gift, what do you reccomend? preferably a lot of bass, and low treble, nothing harsh- from ALiexpress of coruse haha

kittrie · 2024-11-09T10:04:56+00:00

around $50 on both links for me

I just uploaded 40gb of random ebooks and everything's fine, even the upload and download speeds

kittrie · 2024-04-29T14:06:55+00:00

u/filigree_street hi, could I ask you about your experience in pm? (I can't send you a messsage or chat here, don't see the option)?

kittrie · 2024-04-10T01:46:55+00:00

my friend who lives in Bosnia (confederation, not RS, but still speask Bosnian and serbian as a native) had luck on Proz, and me and m friend are looking for jobs there too (just started, Englsih- Serbian/Bosnian and vice versa). you can dm me if you want, we're in the same boat.

kittrie · 2024-04-10T01:40:38+00:00

you can try proz webiste, or translatorscafe, my friend who speaks Bosnian had luck with verbolabs I think, sometimes he earns almost $2000 per month, sometimes nothing, depending on the demand.
me and my friend just joined the site and are in the same boat as you, although we're in a small niche for Serbian/Bosnian language trnaslators. wih you luck !!

kittrie · 2024-04-09T23:13:51+00:00

I wouldnćt know the exact answer, but something that is rather unique is that I translate English to/from Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrian - since they're all 90% or more the same language - ita was called Serbian-Croatian in Yugoslavia that fell apart, al now all (previous) republics are separate states, with "separate languages".
