What's the most isolating chifi IEM in this segment, that still sounds good? Like some etymotics etc in terms of stopping outside noise as much as possible?

The last (and only) thread I found was small and from quite a while ago ... so I thought I better start a new one than go necro. I got several Synths, digital workstations like a Yamaha MODX, analogs like a Korg Minilogue XD etc. I thought about a few things with relations to synths: - Synths...

12 means not overly large ears, so very bulky ones can't reall ybe used. Also, it being a girl, she won't like very agressively styled things. What would you recommend for this use case? Chi Fi is fine. Pricewise, I guess the ZS10 Pros would be up there, but they seem to be quite bulky...

Strangely, I'm quite happy with my Startech ICUSBAUDIO2D .. costs nothing and delivers quite well. It does have a bit of noise/hiss when nothing plays, but I don't hear that while music runs anyway. If you're not against certain chiense vending platforms, there're a few interesting options tthere.

I bet :) The problem is I get total contradictions, a 180 degrees opposite to the extremes, not just slight variations in taste ... of course it depends on taste or the things you know to compare to or quality control ... but "Chi-Fi Reviews" on youtube calls the D4 simply "bad" etc ... not...

Hm .... an interesting remark, given how many audio channels promote both T2 and T3 and the D4 is less than 10 USD atm on AliExpress. Now I'm quite confused.

Hm ... T2 around 27 now, T3s around 55 .... are T3s worth twice the money?

I wanted to add a followup to my faulty unit, which had destroyed two cheap headphones (with mics), where Topping offered a new unit to me at Xmas. This new unit has arrived today (it's warming up in ambient .. don't want to start an icecold unit). Service from topping in this my case was good...

So far yes ... but I'm not sure it can be linked to that, because initially, the first of them worked fine for a minute, then suddenly died and got hot. I also had a pair of UE TF10 on it for around 10 Minutes before the incident which thank god didn't fry. Topping reacted nice so far: They're...

@mhoopes Thanks for responding. I wouldn't know the name .. it's just generic stuff that came with my (android) mobile phones I used for testing .. they both worked fine, though. One of them was happily playing stereo, then suddenly my right ear got hot .. or rather, the right IEM. I'm not...

Anyone with electronic knowledge around? The seller is telling me "that I should have used real headphones" and that "IEMs with too low impendance can be destroyed" by this amp. I'd call that complete rubbish, since they worked fine initially and can be set to acceptable volumes with the volume...

I got mine ..... does this thing destroy IEMs with a Mic (i.e. TRRS)? It ran fine for me for a while and then fried the right channel .. headphone destroyed. Tested it with a cheap crapphone off a phone I never use anyway ... fried the right again .. cracked it open and measured voltages ... I...

I got my new Topping DX3 pro DAC/Amp and at first I used it at home and it worked with a pair of UE TF10 I had in it ... now at work I plugged in two headphones .. one worked fine for a while ... but then sudenly the right IEM would heat up and die ... tried another set of very cheap crap things...

I'll give them another chance, but only up to the (very long ... another 45 days) "closing time" for the order .. I'll file a complaint then. It's a pair of BGVP DM6s I really wanted to arrive ... everything else came from ali, but not the most important order :frowning2: I assume the "7-10 days...
