    Total IEM newb: daily-driver bangers under $160-200? (you guessed it, with tons of bass...)

    TLDR; reccs for comfy, bass-heavy IEMs that are not planar and not the Ikko OH10, pref. max $160-170ish... Hi guys! As per the title, IEM newb here, not a hi-fi quality listener, don't grasp most of jargon used here. Have only worn basic wired earbuds (Sennheiser/1More), then found out IEMs...

    So I bought a pair of Campfire Andromedas in 2018 and really enjoy them but was wondering whether I should sell them and upgrade to a used pair of Monarch Mk2. A reason for this may be because I used crinacle's tier list back then where the Andromeda was one of the best IEMS but has dropped, and...

I have 0 experience or expertise and the review would be purposefully...

    Questions I have as a newbie about 4.4mm cables.

    I've read a little bit about 4.4mm but I had some specific questions that I hope one of the many experts here could help me with. What does 'balanced audio' mean? Does it split the signal from the source evenly between each core in a cable or is it something else? Does a source need to be...

    My moondrop Chus are noticeably louder on the right, is there any fix or should I refund?

    I bought them around a month and a half ago and they were great until I noticed this happening. Is there a way to fix this? I've tested it on multiple devices and I'm certain that it's the IEMs that are causing this. Should I contact Amazon or Moondrop directly in the case of a refund? Thanks!!!
