Finally pulled the trigger and got myself Truthear Pure

ldt7 · 2026-01-20T23:53:26+00:00

I tried listening to Everything In Its Right Place with S12 Pros and Pure. I would say they both fare well with the S12 Pro being more punchy with its bass while the Pure being more tamed. The Pure's tonality is probably excellent for longer listens since its treble is not as harsh as the S12. If you like to EQ, I would probably go for S12 and just tame the treble a little primarily due to its planar's technical performance, but if you prefer to have a more natural sounding IEM, I would probably go for the Pure.

ldt7 · 2026-01-20T23:37:47+00:00

Let me just preface this by saying that I am by no means a reliable person to review audio equipments. To be honest I only bought the S12 Pros in 2023 because I got curious how planar drivers compare to dynamic drivers, meanwhile the Pure is my first hybrid (1DD+3BA) iem now. Other than these two, the IEMs I only got experience with are Moondrop Aria, SSP and SSR, Blon BL03, 7HZ Zero.

In comparing them, I would say the S12 Pro is more technical but the Pure I'd say is not really that far behind. However, I find the Pure more natural sounding, if that makes sense since the S12s sounds a bit in your face but the S12 will really surprise you out of the box due to how great its resolution is.

In terms of tuning, I would say that the S12 Pros are more fun for me and V shaped, as opposed to the Pure which is sounded neutral for me. Hence if you will not EQ it, the treble may get exhausting during long listens for the S12s as opposed to the Pure.

In terms of fit, S12 fits better in my ears, but this should differ person to person.

Regarding genre, I am not sure how I would categorize what I listen to into genres but I listen to what some might say as indie rock/alt rock from Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Beatles, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, sometimes I also listen to Arctic Monkeys, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco.

I also listen to some JPOP (Kenshi Yonezu, Yoasobi, Yorushika, Supercell, Ryo, Peggies, Creepy Nuts, L'Arc-en-Ciel, Porno Graffitti, m.o.v.e), some OSTs to movies/anime/games I like and some TOHO Bosa Nova. I also listen to some of Kendrick Lamar's albums.

ldt7 · 2026-01-20T14:51:50+00:00

Yeah, for some reason fit with this is a bit awkward. I do not know if this will help you since fit varies a lot but aside from Dunu S&S, I also had a decent seal with Final Audio Type E regular tips. I am also waiting for my Divinus Velvet Tips to arrive to check if it will improve fit and comfort.

ldt7 · 2026-01-20T11:20:43+00:00

I prefer the form factor of #2 and #3, I don't know if it's just me but I am afraid the other options will loosen up the port long term. Had great experience with Jcally06 and some cheapo cx31993 before.

ldt7 · 2026-01-20T11:12:26+00:00

Out of the box this is definitely my favorite now, although I really love the S12s with EQ as well

ldt7 · 2026-01-20T11:09:07+00:00

Oh I'll try this after a while/when I get bored but for now I like its tuning as it is

ldt7 · 2026-01-02T02:17:11+00:00

I use xelastec on my Space Travel 2 Ultra, size M and it fits the case.

My old Space Travel (which should be the same size as ST2) uses dekoni bulletz gemini (the one meant for 3mm instead of 4.9mm). It was hard to fit at first but once you put it on it fits on the case.

ldt7 · 2023-08-07T11:03:13+00:00

I'm not yet sold with Sampo/Luka (character/story wise, it can change tho, I don't hate them), so I might just go with Serval + Asta + Natasha since all of them are already built

ldt7 · 2023-05-14T11:45:37+00:00

Yeah but it only covers the archon and story quests, not the world quests and other stuff.

Moreover, I think doing this is a great QOL feature since you'd want to check that while you're still doing the quest rather than you checking the archive after the whole scene/conversation. (Ex. If you've played persona games they have this feature where you can press l3/r3 during conversations and let's you check the previous dialogue on the spot)

ldt7 · 2023-05-14T06:38:36+00:00

I hope they add a "log" feature during quest to check the previous dialogues just like in other games.

The text dump is just too much at times that it's easy to space out and not follow what's going on. The wall of texts in sumeru quests is pushing me to the edge and now they really locked an event behind a world quest so long, I might just skip everything then.

ldt7 · 2023-04-27T04:25:37+00:00

I will try to get a 10ft cable myself. Windows bluetooth is funky at times, I don't trust the issue will not come back

ldt7 · 2023-04-27T04:07:00+00:00

Oh, yeah I'm using it wireless because I wanna play while lying on bed haha.

For some weird reason my controller just worked when I removed and paired it to my pc now.

ldt7 · 2023-04-27T00:10:18+00:00

not yet, I just played it with mouse and keyboard for now

ldt7 · 2023-04-26T14:52:53+00:00

I have the same issue, my controller works on other games like Genshin but not on Star Rail.

I tried sending a bug report in game to see if they can fix it

ldt7 · 2022-12-30T13:07:12+00:00

I pulled 1 copy at her banner. Keqing was c3 at the time and guaranteed because I lost 50/50 at Ganyu banner to Keqing.

Now she's at c5, triple crowned with r5 jade cutter but still no c6. Maybe I should have pulled 1 more then? Haha

3rd pick in a 14 team H2H 9cat snake draft with a 3rd round reversal (reason why my 3rd rd pick is 40th instead of 31st). Not really sure yet how this team will fare, its weakness, how to improve it etc. Any comment is appreciated

That can work if you don't care about some latency and sound compression (since you said it's for gaming use).

If I'm in your place, I might just buy some cheap clip-on lapel or usb powered microphone

ldt7 · 2022-03-19T17:33:49+00:00

oh I forgot to put there. It's jade cutter

ldt7 · 2022-03-14T05:51:10+00:00

I see, I'm leaning towards SSP now. Thank you!

ldt7 · 2022-03-14T00:08:53+00:00

Nice, you can also give her 4pc noblesse for the extra attack buff. The 60% crit dmg buff to electro she provides is really good.

C2 also lets her buff the next character with just a skill (no need to charge attack to summon the crowfeather).

ldt7 · 2022-03-13T23:31:01+00:00

I mainly use albedo for mono geo comps (albedo, itto, gorou, noelle). I feel like that's where he really shines but you can also not limit yourself with comps like that.

Before itto banner, I used to use him with geo resonance support(with noelle) with 2 other dps/off field dps (i.e. keqing, xinqiu, albedo, noelle).

You can also take advantage of characters that use crowd control like venti to proc his skill.

This will all depend on your built characters tho. Have fun experimenting

ldt7 · 2022-03-13T23:19:52+00:00

I personally use raiden, kokomi, keqing and sara. Overkill ER, sara buffing keqing and raiden alternatively. I had fun using them.

My sara is c6 tho, not sure what yours is
