    It is the built in equalizer for AIMP. I did wind up lowering the bass in my EQ, which I just updated in the review.

    I'd gently blow it with compressed air, then remove the back housing and gently blow in there. Dirt/hair resting on the diaphragm will definitely make it sound off.

    MRS (Super* Review) also thought one of the Astrotec Lyra buds was pretty awful, ranked lowest out of ten buds:

    Could you (or anyone else reading this) compare the technicalities of the newbsound 32pro against the Yincrow RW-9? Differences in resolution, staging, note weight, etc. I notice they are similarly tuned. Thanks for making those measurements btw!

    Ah yeah, forgot the mx500 stem acts as a bass vent as well lol. Still interested in these smabat shells for longevity + ease of tuning. I'll check out the DIY thread for recommended drivers.

    Looks like smabat is selling just the M2S pro shell, for $25 https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN3xkDG The 150ohm ST-10S driver also sells for $25, so now you can get the black gold ST-10S for ~$50 USD. The M3 pro uses the same 150ohm driver and bass-vent design.. for ~$65. I wonder if they'll come...

    If you're ok with TWS, the soundpeats trueair2 is great for $30, very similar tuning to the RW9 but much cleaner presentation overall due to larger soundstage & cleaner imaging. Similar overall resolution though. Make sure you use them with foams. After a quick a/b, the rw9 has slightly more...

    No, I haven't heard the TrueAir3. It looks like it uses the same 14.2mm driver and shell design, so I wouldn't expect there to be much difference in the staging/resolution, no idea about the tuning though.

    I posted my thoughts on the SoundPEATS TrueAir2 https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/soundpeats-trueair2-wireless-earbuds-bluetooth-v5-2-qualcomm-qcc3040.24797/reviews#review-27035 Overall these are great for $30, if I had to guess they're probably A= in tuning and B+ in technicalities, something...

    The above review already covered most of it, I thought I'd give more thoughts on the audio presentation as well as some comparisons. First the ergonomics are great, as good as mx500 shells, maybe better. The earbud is angled on the stem, and sort of "hooks" into your ear. Very secure fit for...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Ry4s+ 32ohm had similar staging and resolution, just worse tuning than x6/rw9. They might use the same 15.5mm 32ohm dynamic drivers. The stem on a mx500 shell acts as a bass vent. Take any mx500 earbud you have, seal the stem with some putty, and you'll hear less bass. Sealing the mx500 stem...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I'd personally buy the rw9, I prefer its tuning, same staging and overall resolution though. I've also had two of three X6's I bought die on me from the cable breaking; the rw9 is much more durable. Worth the extra $10 imo but if you have one there's no real reason to get the other. This...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've been interested in the m2s pro shell, mainly due to its integrated bass vent. I'd also like to buy just the female connector unit, then solder that to whatever dynamic driver you want.. that way you should be able to sample all the drivers on AliExpress relatively painlessly via the m2s pro...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I just bought the soundpeats trueair2, and it's quite good for $28. It really sounds a lot like the gen2 airpods but with heavier bass. Similar technicalities, tuning, and soundstage. Still gotta spend more time with it before writing anything else but I'm pretty pleased with my purchase...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Yeah that's why I specified "high fidelity". The mids on my BK2 are great, almost as good as my er2xr, and definitely better than my mh755 or tin t2. But even when listening to acoustic tracks there's still almost always some lower/higher frequencies, however minute, that buds just fail to...
