My new setup!

Many of you recall how my backpack was stolen several months ago. :frowning2: I'm glad to be on a new laptop, though I think I'll need to get a windows laptop as well since I'm miss using peace/apo. I'm still mostly using closed back headphones as I'm now in a co-working space daily. I might end up using my iems again as this place starts getting more noisy. Not sure where that leaves my earbuds use, but I carry these two around in my backpack at all times.

Be safe and healthy!

I personally like the RW-9 slightly more than the X6. Transparency and details are crazy good! I have many earbuds and I can't seem to top these! I might have to jump to a much higher price category to find out what can beat the RW-9, IMHO!

-Clear
The RW-9's are amazing. Enjoy

I have them. I agree with the following <review> on them here.

I would like to have them on 2.5 but sadly they only build with 3.5 termination... When you have buds with high ohms you need more juice so balanced it should be mandatory but well..

I do understand....

k371, right?
If so, do you like them?

Yep! I love them. x6's of the headphone world (closed backs). well tuned out of the box, a bit constrained soundstage-wise but super easy to drive on a phone. The aeon 2's I just got are clearly another level above the k371, but I'd more easily recommend the k371's than the dan clarks (because of price point diff.)

Thousands of pages ? Oh my ! I just started in the earbud world, it’s very exciting but it seems to be a jungle. Can anybody give me the consensus on the top 3 absolute best earbuds (regardless of price) ?

Do what I did, just go on Aliexpress and order a couple of buds at random - they're less than a lunch a pair - and see what happens!

(What happens is nothing, because I'm still waiting for my buds to arrive lol)

I noticed that some of the earbuds that I bought have 2 wires per channel and I can transform them from 3.5 to 2.5. The graph about how to solder the cables on the 2.5 jack its clear for me but how can I do to identify the positive and negative on each channel without desolder?
