wouldnt all that be part of tuning?

unless tuning refers strictly to the frequency graph

More a specific headphone/iem comparison than a headphone vs iem thing

they can make a drastic positive or negative impact on the sound, or not do much. Very dependant on setup

Wouldnt buy headphones, dacs, or amps without trying multiple combinations

[–] blah618@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

amps can vary in sound

that variation can be both positive or negative, or give benefits with tradeoffs in other areas

wm1a, and i like how it sounds

on a budget, you cant go wrong with the cheapest walkman without android you can find. best if mrwalkman has a mod for it

probably better to ask him, especially since he records music

frame it as helping you buy a present for you or a relative of yours

the majority of headphones are neither accurate or fun

on a budget, it’s easier to find a fun headphone though, because the energy allows you to look over the flaws

i wouldnt buy it without trying, but nothing inherently wrong

looks like a cheap taobao cable that might be outperformed by a high quality stock cable (eg from ue, 64, jh)

campfire offerings always sounded tinny, sibilant, and muddy to me

do try the ve7 and 10, which i like far more than the 6 and 8

what did you try the m9 on? i never liked it due to the terrible timbre making all instruments sound like midi

dont buy expensive cables from someone nobodoys heard of
