HE400 owner tired of fighting SMC connectors
I apologize if I missed it, but I've searched off and on the past 2 days and I can't find what I'm looking for. I know it exists because I remember seeing it. I want to replace the SMC connectors with 2.5mm female jacks. Which ones should I use and how is the mod done? Is there a connector that...- brokentofu

Can you compare them to any other IEMs that I might have? KZ-ATE, KZ-ZS1, W1 pro. How is the soundstage? Mids?- brokentofu

Bloated bass is a little distracting to me. I like present bass but well behaved and balanced. If I could get some IEMs that sound like my HE400 with the audeze vegan pads, that would be amazing.- brokentofu

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
I don't necessarily want a bright pair of IEMs but I do like airyness and detail. Is the bass tighter on the zs3 or Tennmak? Is the highs more detailed on the zs3 or Tennmak? Anyone used the YHS 002? It's a 1DD+1BA- brokentofu

Is there a spreadsheet that compares IEM with features, sound, price? There seems to be so many options in the <$50 range that it's making it hard to figure out what will fit my needs the best.- brokentofu

I'm weird. I have a policy to never use EQ. If I don't like how something sounds, padroll/tip roll. If I still don't like it, then it's not for me.- brokentofu

Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread
So for someone who is a big fan of large soundstage, authoritative but controlled bass/sub-bass, mids that grab your attention, and detailed but airy and non fatiguing high; what is there? It doesn't sound like the zs3 or the eg009 is right for me. It seems that IEMs that have the SQ I'm looking...- brokentofu

So you think the Zs3 uses a non standard connector? That blows. There are non memory wire replacements on AliExpress that claim to be for kz-zs3, I wonder if they are worth it. I'm just looking to step up from the ate and zs1- brokentofu

Can anyone recommend a reputable seller on AliExpress for the KZ-ZS3? Also can I use standard 2pin cables with them? I know I'm going to fight that memory wire to get a comfortable fit.- brokentofu

The **** 4in1 isn't the kind of wearing style I'm looking for. I've fought too often with the super stiff memory wire on my KZ-ZS1. How is the memory wire on the zs3? What kind of sound signature does it have?- brokentofu

I'm looking for some new IEMs. I listen to mostly EDM and some downtempo stuff. I'm looking for big soundstage, tight bass, great mids, and airy/relaxed highs that retain detail without fatiguing sensitive ears. Around the ear preferable. Comfortable for long listening sessions is also a must...- brokentofu

DIY tube amp for planar headphones
Is there any tube amps that can take balanced input and balanced output on a budget. I'm sure hybrid would be the cheapest. Maybe I could build 2x 12au7 millet hybrid and have one knob control 4 channels. Do you think it would work?- brokentofu

What would be the best IEM in the <=$30 range for running? Inline microphone is a requirement, high durability and stay putness is also a must. Thank you for any suggestions. I listen to house, chillstep, classical, and hiphop.- brokentofu

I do not mind hybrid, it's just I already have a hybrid I built and i am looking for something different. Something more Tubey. I do not have the technical experience to design a tube amp or even have the tubes biased correctly. Is these a specific build you would suggest for hybrid? Budget...- brokentofu
