    Battle of IEMs | 1More Quad Driver | Moondrop Aria | Etymotic ER2XR/SE [Max. 150€]

    Crinacle has them on his site. Look for graph tool. It allows you to compare the frequency response of two iems.

    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    Any ideas why the ER2XR limited edition is cheaper than the "regular" ER2XR on Amazon ($77 vs $99)? The only difference appears to be that the Limited Edition includes an iPhone adapter and dual flange tips (which are now included in the "regular" packaging). Weird.

    CVJ IEMs thread

    If I had to guess, poor sales performance. Their original tuning was different from the usual sea of cheaper chifi. Which was good but maybe not for overall sales. What a shame.

    CVJ IEMs thread

    One reviewer held off on his review until he got a second pair. And they were equally as bad. Bad tuning it seems. Did they shy away from their original tuning? All their recent iems seem like a different tuning from the likes of the CSA, CSN, Mirror.

    I was just about to ask about this brand, Queen of Audio. They rarely get mentioned here, Youtube or on Reddit. Are they any good? They have a Vesper model that is only $69. And now this model. They certainly look nice.

    Battle of IEMs | 1More Quad Driver | Moondrop Aria | Etymotic ER2XR/SE [Max. 150€]

    Plenty skip out on the Etys because of the deep insertion fit. You are more likely to experience discomfort putting them in and wearing them. It took me a few days to get use to them. As long as you aren't yanking them out and break the seal (I pull down slightly on my ear), you shouldn't feel...

    Battle of IEMs | 1More Quad Driver | Moondrop Aria | Etymotic ER2XR/SE [Max. 150€]

    They aren't because of the deep insertion. As far as Etys are concerned I'd scratch the ER2SE off your list based on your sound preference. The XR might be borderline. The Arias are the safer choice imo.

    Yep I love my ER2SE with the brown filters.

    The reviews on Youtube so far don't seem positive at all. What a shame.

    I love my ER2SEs with brown filters. Would you guys say it's worth picking up either the ER3SE or ER3XR too? Both the ER3SE and 3XR are currently on sale for $69.

    What are opinions on the Etymotic ER3SE or ER3XR? Worth picking up if already have (and love) the ER2SEs. Both the ER3SE and 3XR are currently on sale for $69.

    Campfire Audio - Satsuma and Honeydew

    FYI I've never dealt with CA. They do have a contact phone number on their site. May be the best bet. Did the return successfully make it's way back to them (via tracking)? Did you follow the instructions on their site about returns?

    Has anyone ordered from HiFiGo on Amazon? What color did you get? Their previous page was showing only red, now they are showing only blue ones. No mention of the color in the description though (other than the pictures). Is it random?

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    It wasn't recommended directly to me or my setup. It was mentioned on a review of the Kbear Neon. Something about using the same BA as Etymotic but the Kbear Neon only has an impedance of 14ohms while Etyomics (depending on model but with the same driver) have at least 28ohms and upwards of 100...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Possibly dumb question. I was reading about these and some recommend to get an impedance adapter (at least 30ohm iirc) because of the BA. Does a impedance adapter have the same effect on hybrids, DD+BA or DD+multiple BAs or other combos with a BA, iems? Or is that just specific to Knowles BA...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    Thanks. I misunderstood and thought some phones like LGs were capable of bypassing the audio stack. Thanks. I've read about the apps. But I plan to root and custom rom this Pixel 4, so I can rip out all the Google framework. Why? Planning to use it only as an offline (read offroad) GPS for...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    Are Google Pixel phones using the Android Audio stack to resample data before passing it onto a USB Dac? I know some phones do and others don't.

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Thanks guys. Think I'll just get the ER2SE again. The only issue I had with the ER2SE was the bullet design. I was always hunting for a ChiFi iem with a similar sig (which I like).

    Darn I can't decide on the Etymotic ER2SE (which I had before) and the Heart Mirror. I was dead set on picking up another ER2SE but had second thoughts at the last moment. Both are identical in price, I can pick up the ER2SE locally at Adorama in NYC for $49. The only reason I gave up my...

    New batch is the one with updated cable? Also I noticed on Amazon the price was updated (increased) to that of the one with the new cable but it still lists the old cable in the description. So who knows what you are really getting.

    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a USB to USB-C adapter? Does the quality of this component even matter? Some of my older Thinkpads (another terrible hobby) don't have USB-C. So to run these dongles I need an adapter between. Thanks.

    With these chifi iems it seems like every week something new and better is coming out. Hard to stay on top of it, for those of us that don't want to catch them all.
