    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've been listening to the rw-2000 since Friday. Compared to my reference (focal clears OG), they have a dark leaning sound signature and a sort of a "wetness" to their sound. On one hand, this allow them to be very forgiving, on the other hand I find that sometimes guitars lack bite and crunch...

    Shanling Q1 - Retro-Styled Portable Hi-Fi Music Player

    I'm happy to report that after removing the loose shielding my q1 doesn't freeze or randomly reboot anymore! Thanks @Shanling What I needed was a suction cup, a small screwdriver and a pair of tweezers. It took me around 15 minutes and I'm a total noob when it comes to diy, repairing etc. The...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    There is a bunch of reasons: -DIY/Boutique projects like that cannot mass manufacture, so it's more expensive for them to source/make their components -limited supply + limited competition=very rigid offer -people are willing to pay that price

    Shanling Q1 - Retro-Styled Portable Hi-Fi Music Player

    The same problem happened to me too. It's a pity that a player with such a good form factor and sound (for the price) is marred by qc issues

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thanks for the answer! My preferred signature for those genres is either a slightly downward slope or neutral with a bass boost. Harsh/grainy treble is definitely a no-no, but I also don't want my music to sound overly smooth and polite

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hello everyone, I've been out of the earbud game for a long time, and now I'd like to buy a new pair. I mainly listen to metal, hard rock and synthwave, so what I'm looking for is something easy to drive, with a balanced sound, good bass extension (for a earbud of course), good dynamics (a...

    Apparently connecting it to my laptop in DAC mode solved the issue, at least for now

    Shanling Q1 - Retro-Styled Portable Hi-Fi Music Player

    My Q1 freezes whenever I try to play a song with the jack inserted, so it's unusable right now. Does anyone know what could be the cause?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thanks, but I don't have a Facebook account, and I don't think I'll make one only to buy a pair of earbuds. She wants to be aware of her surroundings, and she's one of those people that can't wear iems. So, to compensate I should go for some bassy buds like the HE150 pro?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hi everyone, sorry to bother you, but I need your advice: I'm searching for a pair of earbuds for a friend of mine. What I'm searching for is something that is: -easy to drive (she will drive them with an IPhone) -cable down (she wears glasses) -good mids/vocals but with enough bass to give the...

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    I suggest you the Starfield, which has a balanced signature, with a bit of warmth and musicality, bass carries a nice punch but it's not overdone, although not the fastest. Treble is smooth, but rolls off a bit early and doesn't have lot of air. Soundstage is average for an iem but instrument...
