Tin HiFi Impressions Thread
Lol, a beanie is definitely nice, and I always wear one, but that doesn't solve the "I took my IEMs out of my pocket and now I have two ice cubes in my hand" problem :)- pauliunas

Tin HiFi Impressions Thread
Let's get to the elephant in the room: They're metal. That means they get cold, very cold, in winter. Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm thinking some thermally resistant spray, paint or tape that I could apply on the "ear" side of the shell, leaving the faceplate exposed as well as small...- pauliunas

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
Are they all V-shaped, or are there any relatively flat ones? With so many different models, it's hard to keep track of their differences...- pauliunas

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
bull. I get a full day battery life with both Discord and Skype installed. I'm on multiple active servers on Discord, so messages keep flowing. But if I install whatcrap, the battery dies twice as fast. Even when I use it only on my PC, because for some dumb reason it has to shoehorn all...- pauliunas

Please don't. Use Discord, IRC, Skype, anything that people actually use and that isn't a nightmare battery drain. Oh, and that doesn't shoehorn all the traffic through your phone even when you use it on PC.- pauliunas

Yes I've seen one closely. No they don't point forward. They point right into the ear canal, which is "almost" perpendicular. They're slightly angled to the front side, right. But nowhere near 90 degree, more like 15. So yeah, the regular way of wearing earbuds means sound waves do make that 15...- pauliunas

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
sorry but it looks like the sound runs straight into your tragus and then has to make a 90 degree turn to go into your ear canal... Maybe you just like the effect of sound resonating with your tragus? Also, that earbud you're showing is very unusually... deep, if you get what I mean. Usually...- pauliunas

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
Yeah I did say that, but I believe I also said CX300II makes me puke. It's exactly the opposite of what I want to hear, and while I don't expect any IEM to fulfill all my wishes, I have one strict requirement: it has to be vastly different than that Sennheiser. I understand there are sharper V...- pauliunas

Thanks for the suggestion. I know people say lots of good stuff about these, but if I go up in budget that much (I was hoping for $30), I could also buy Denon ah-c50ma. Which one do you think is better? Denon advertises this one as "flat"/"neutral" and reviewers agree with that... It also has...- pauliunas

And that's why you can just set the volume lower. Also, some IEMs isolate better than others. As I said, I **can't** hear my music with earbuds. Unless I set the volume so high that it's louder than everything around me. And if I do that, I can end up in the same situation as you. Except that...- pauliunas

I already have a bunch of VE earbuds, but that's not what I need. I'm not a "killer bass" kind of person either - I prefer recessed bass. The issue with earbuds is that... I do hear the surroundings, yeah, but I can't hear my music... Or I have to set the volume insanely loud, which annoys...- pauliunas
