More a specific headphone/iem comparison than a headphone vs iem thing
blah618
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
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
people who’ve never been to shops and expos having strong opinions
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
UERR: commuting
MV1: home use
knockoff airpods: gym, when i dont want to bring my dap and nice iems
kz edx pro: when i dont want to bring my dap and nice iems
wouldnt all that be part of tuning?
unless tuning refers strictly to the frequency graph
