I'm looking for a regular, non-balanced 3.5 replacement cable for my Final Audio a4000. I dont even hate the cable they came with. But, after spending thousands on IEMs, I've found my endgame, and I'll be heartbroken if this cable fails and I can't replace it.

I just bought the Tin T4s from amazon and I have to say I am exceptionally impressed. Before I say anything about the sound, I want to point out something interesting. My T4s came in a white box, not a black box. Additionally, the cable is not that two-core cable with the loose braid, but rather...

FINAL UPDATE: went with the tin t4 and i love them. exactly what I was looking for.

UPDATE. I've now removed the Simgot EN700 Pro from my list of possible choices and added the Simgot EM2. I know they are inexpensive, but i'm hoping they'll have what I'm looking for.

Gruesome, Entombed, Deeds of Flesh, Defeated Sanity, Immolation, Rottrevore, Human Mincer, old Cryptopsy. Basically stuff like that.

The problem is I am using a very rudimentary set up. I don't have any amps or anything like that. I want to get into that stuff, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. I primarily (read: exclusively) listen to music with my apple music subscription on my samsung galaxy s20+, and my...

I'm quite willing to buy used as long as it's from someone with good feedback.

I know it's not your problem, but help me out a little. I'm driving myself crazy trying to find good IEMs for death metal. Here's the quick version: I bought the blon bl03 and I love them, however they seem to sound "cramped" to my ears when I play some death metal. Some of it sounds fabulous...

Isn't it true shipping from massdrop takes like, weeks and weeks?

Meze 99 classics? I think those are next.

UPDATE EVERYONE: I got my MSR7B cans today. They are perfect. I cannot even believe it. I'm at a loss for words. I've never heard anything like these. By the way, maybe it's the ultra-low tuned guitars and bass in a lot of death metal making me think this but -- how is it possible to consider...

The other thing I should mention is -- I listen to music exclusively on apple music -- is it worth it to spend money on an amp with this kind of audio? Will it still improve the sound? I have a cheap android phone and a pixelbook go as my sources. As of tomorrow, I should have a moto g stylus...

i know it's not as bassy as the ath-m50x, but is there at least a solid punch from the kick drum? I really like a nice, fast, punch from a kick drum. Yes, i am extremely interested. pm me before you list.

so I can save 100 dollars by getting the black ones and it's the same exact product?

I prefer the black look of the neo but if they arent the same i will get the wooden ones

Just to be clear -- we're talking about the meze 99 classics, not the meze 99 neo right?

I'm leaning heavily towards the 99s. I do not have any intention of driving these with an amp or anything , just using my smart phone. Will the 99s still sound okay?

Okay guys, forget about hifiman. I've read some horror stories about build quality and so those are out. It's currently between the audio technica msr7b and the phillips fidelio x2hr

Also - do those porta pros sound as good as the audio technica ath-m50x? or would that be a downgrade?

What is the difference between these headphones? Would these be okay for death metal? https://www.amazon.com/HIFIMAN-Professional-Headphones-Audiophiles-Stereo-Black/dp/B08BC5CM9N/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=hifiman+he-400&qid=1594132726&sr=8-12...

OH MAN this album is so good.

Since I primarily (read: exclusively) use apple music a dap is a no-go. The funny thing is, I have a pixelbook go and an android phone, but apple music is -- by far -- the best streaming service so I stuck with them. What about those cheap usb-c dongles/dac things. do those acrtually improve sound?

I know virtually nothing about amps or other sources that are not a laptop or a smart phone. So for my edification, is there any reading you guys can recommend so I can understand this stuff better? Also, I'm not in a position to spend 400 dollars on an amp, particularly when my most expensive...

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I'm most likely going to go for the audio technica MSR7B. I don't have any amps or anything, can those be driven okay without them? I don't listen to lossless music anyway, I use apple nusic.

I'm driving myself crazy here. I have spent hours and hours researching different IEMS that are good for death metal specifically. Now, from what I'm reading -- a v-shaped signature is a big no-no for metal. That's fine. My wife stole my ATH-M50x cans and so i'm stuck with soundmagic e10s which...
