I just received my most anticipated product buy from online.
The K's Earphone K300.
I am not audiophile.But i am so much excited to hear the high impedance earphone sound.But I can't hear any magical difference compare to my apple earpods.Actually my apple earpods sound like more open to me.
Earphones and IEMs depend a lot on the fit. If they don't seal your ear canals well you get a lot of noise that gets in the way of the music and in most cases even without noise they won't sound right. It's like being in a quiet room sitting too far from speakers without tuning for proper toe in angles.
At the same time, maybe you just can't. I know people who can somehow tune a guitar by ear but can't tell the difference between an HD600 and their Apple iPod bundled earbuds. But they can tell the difference with a Grado.
I tested it on my lg g6 quad dac.When i enable my dac it's only gain the volume.Other wise it's too low.
Bit disappointed.Though my only aim to buy this earphone to check what is quad dac sound like.
Quad DAC is a marketing term. it's not like it's using four DAC chips. Smartphones have an integrated audio chip with a DAC and headphone driver chip built into one die, like AMD going, "what if we put an Athlon II CPU and an HD6600 into one die? but, like, let's drop the clock speed on HD6600 because we need it to work in a cheap laptop." What the Quad DAC does is more of having several headphone driver circuits in that one die and the DACs are only dual so they're not using what otherwise would have been like using a splitter or something from one DAC circuit inside that chip.
Not that multiple DACs would be drastically different in any application.
On top of all that, you increase the power, but since the Quad DAC can only be enabled on high impedance loads, you're basically just putting as much power into a 300ohm load as you would a 32ohm load, something a non-Quad DAC can't do. In theory it would have more of a benefit if it was running on a 32ohm load, since that's where the meat of the powerband is and where most headphones and IEMs used with nothing but just a smartphone would be, but they probably want to not do badly on battery test evaluations so they locked it for use only with high impedance loads.
Considering how rare high impedance earphones are, the only real use for these in a mobile application is to get around the high output impedance of many integrated audio chips and the circuit they're put in in a smartphone or tablet. But considering high impedance will require more voltage, again it's just allowing you to pour more power into a high impedance load to match what non-Quad DAC chips will pour into a 32ohm load.
Considering there are a ton of 16ohm IEMs that work fine with just 5mW of power from a smartphone audio chip, you'd have a better time buying a 16 to 70ohm, 100dB/1mW sensitivity IEM of a kind of sound you prefer than messing around with a rather pointless feature meant mostly for marketing. Not that I won't get the LG V-series (especially with the Note8's ridiculous price tag) - I'd just use it for its really good output without messing around with Quad DAC.
Any recommend you guys to buy other earphone that can increase my audio experience level at lower price range earphone.
TFZ Series 1S or 5S
KZ ZS3 or ZST
Mee Audio M6 Pro
VSonic VS3DS
