    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Have you heard the Sony LinkBuds S? Curious if those could be called darker or at least smoother up top, or if not if it's something you could tweak with Sony's TWS app (I assume they have a shared app for all of their TWS offerings). They sound quite intriguing otherwise.

    The Lypertek Z3s are described to have "reduced treble" (on scarbir) and I'm wondering, you lot have know of any actually darker TWS? I'm curious if they exist, since V-shaped tuning is so prevalent in mass market audio gear. I've decided to keep the Z3s for now despite the white noise/hissing...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've been going back to the office recently so I've been getting reacquainted with my portable gear, and got to wired earbuds and specifically the NiceHCK DIY MX500s today and man, every time I'm reminded how much I enjoy the sound of these. Thick and warm and bassy and all-enveloping and just...

    The Closed-Back Headphone Thread (Plus Comparisons & Reviews)

    The T5.3 sound perfect for me on paper, but frustratingly they're not sold anywhere where I live, so I can't audit them. The T1s yes, the T5ps yes, but not the T5.3s. Expensive cans to blindly order.

    Bleh, I got the Lyperteks in the mail yesterday, but they have huuge white noise/hissing issues. A small white noise floor would be fine, but the hissing changes with the song in some cases, making it massively distracting. I'll mess around with them for a bit and see if I might be able to fix...

    Amazon.de saying I should be getting my Lyperteks in a day or two, hope it's right. Most excited I've been about a purchase in quite a long time lol, really hope they deliver. I'm ready to shed these got dang wires.

    Thanks! I'll grab the Lyperteks and look into the Nuarls later if I'm not fully satisfied with the Lyperteks.

    Looking for a TWS IEM in the 100-150 euro range and man, there is a LOT to choose from. Looking at the list on scarbir (https://www.scarbir.com/best-sounding-earbuds) and like, every second IEM on there sounds like a good pick. Any thoughts on which ones to look at if I want warmth, big though...

    Shozy IEM impression/appreciation thread (in particular Pola owners)

    Any more Ava impressions? Loving my CA Honeydew/Penon Globe + Qudelix 5k combo sound-wise, but I'm getting a bit sick of all the tangly wires so I'm looking for a reasonably priced TWS IEM now. It seems like the Ava is warm and thick and easy to listen to with hefty bass which is exactly what I...

    The PENON official thread

    Yeah, I actually totally forgot about those and got a lil bit excited when another user on another forum brought them up, but unfortunately it's the shell size that's giving me issues. That said, they seem to be a fair bit cheaper than I expected, now that I actually googled them. They might...

    The PENON official thread

    Weird out of nowhere question, but has anyone on here found a pair TWS IEMs that have that full, warm tonality of the Globes? Hard to find proper comparisons since TWS IEMs are so popular in the tech enthusiast space, where the sounds is usually just "amazing" and that's it. I looooove the...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Wonderful, those are some really cheap boys too, definitely a better choice for me right now--no offense to FranQL and the very appealingly named "diy earphone pk1 pk2 SR2 16ohms/32ohms/150ohms 8 share heart of ocean silver plated wire" buds! Surprised to see that the TRN EMAs even have...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    🤔 lol But thank you, I'll have to give those a try. How's the sound on these, does the length impedance matter much on that front? Also, should I get another set of foams for these?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hello, been a while. I've been using my Yincrow X6s and the other similar-looking plastic pair whose name I always forget (DIY MX500 something something) a lot more again recently for gaming and while I generally like them, I've been starting to feel like the shells are just a bit too big with...

    The PENON official thread

    I'm certainly curious about it, but it seems to be going for a much more neutral or even brighter sound, whereas Thick And Warm is kind of my thing, so I'm not sure. 200 bucks is right on the upper end of the "**** it, I'll give it a try" range for me, though, so I might check it out at some point.
