Earbuds Round-Up
Dec 16, 2020 at 11:49 AM Post #51,017 of 75,353
Are any of you on a macbook when taking measurements?

I'm haven't trouble establishing a clean signal path to calibrate my sound card. Tried laptop card, usb dacs, different dongles, docks, cables. All terrible compared to my windows rig.
I have a problem with my old laptop (win 8.1), weak and bad signal. It works well with portable DAC/AMP but when I try to calibrate mic and DAC with REW it not work.
On my new laptop (win 10) I don't have that problem. It acts like the older laptop doesn't have enough volume power to do the calibration. I can't figure out what's going on

My BK2 is arriving today or tomorrow, what do you guys recommend to listen with it?
Sorry man, but this is a bit funny. Don't you have a selection of songs that you like to listen to?
I don't know if they are good for classical music, but for other genres they probably are. :beerchug:

I never suggest not use any foams with earbuds. You can forget about the bass in that case and the treble can be a little overemphasized. In short, the sound is not good and after a while, you will feel discomfort. The foam also protects the earphones from direct exposure to moisture
Always is a good choice to start with "donut" foams.
If some frequencies are more pronounced than you like, you can "soften" them a bit by using full foams.

The BK2's stock tuning is relatively decent, none of the common lower mid bloat. They are an excellent bud for classical music, but really can play most any genre well. The only main downside is that they do not EQ well at all. Autoeq's magic is pretty lackluster on these buds, maybe a 17% improvement compared to the 5x improvement on the Monk Lite 120ohm when compensated. I think I posted the wavelet and peq files here or on my thread.

oh, one more thing, the cable alone is worth $15.

BK2 does well with most stuff except bass heavy music. Cause it is bass lite and as @Sam L said they don't really take to EQ well.

I usually use it for jazz and classical.
