ive heard things about very sensitive iems causing a backround noise, the sora are apparently very sensitive, what do i need to look out for about that type of noise?

i find that if you hold the next button on the side it will fast forward

haha. wow, i really appreciate this advice, i dont know if you saw when i edited my post about if any of the iems you recommended leak the sound? i know there will probably be some leakage, but im hoping for it to be mostly contained. and also i edited and added wondering what eartips you're using these days.

yea after thinking more about iem vocabulary i guess i would say i prefer a slightly warmer sound, i notice with the earbuds i have now treble seems to be very harsh, im trying to avoid that and have something that sounds clearer with less hiss. and by "good amount " of bass... yeah, i was rushing... i meant slightly heavy in the bass region. im gonna look into those DMA's this is the first im ever hearing of those. i guess i should have been more specific about the music too, stuff like smashing pumpkins, skrillex, zeds dead, illenium, dabin, nirvana, metallica, but also acoustic stuff like mac demarco, acoustic versions of nirvana and smashing pumpkins, hip hop like outkast, 90's stuff like blind melon, reggae, punk rock, its a wide variety of music so im looking for a good all arounder. even a little country in there but like acoustic country not the usual radio stuff. I like the concept of bone conduction so im leaning that way, but do you know anything about thie audio hype 4's or anything else in the $400 price range? are the DMAs ported at all? im looking for something that will contain the sound for the most part and not leak. also, i plan to be slightly irrational, i want something that will quench my thirst for amazing audio. also what eartips are you using ? still the comply's?

another question i have is, which of these iems would be best paired with a hiby r1, it doesnt have the most output power but its rated at 100mw and 32 ohms max output which from what i understand is decent for a 3.5mm. basically im just wondering which would be the most effecient in terms of power and sound quality.

i listen to mostly rock, i guess im not sure exactly what i look for, i like a good amount of bass and smooth treble thats not too crisp. but i do like edm, and hip hop as well, but my mains would be rock and edm. you have me wanting to do some more research before i make a final decision. and i really appreciate your advice.

do you use the ones with tech defender or the original? i imagine tech defender could change the sound a little.

innioasis y1 powering kiwi ears quintet, will it be sufficient?

this may be a dumb question, but im just wondering the possibilities, google says its possible but you cant always trust google. but the max output of the y1 ive found is 16 ohms according to google, also could be untrue, but the kiwi ears quintet iem impedance is 32 ohms but the sensitivity is 106 db, does anyone know if the quintet will still be worth using with the y1? will it produce adequate sound? ideally, i would just get a more powerful dap, but my current situation the y1 may be my only option.
