try ellipse/oval ear-tips. I have absolutely no idea why most IEM tips are circle. Apple & Bose got it perfect but the rest of IEM manufacturers are yet to have a look at an actual human ear deep insertion tips & custom tips are your other options

they used an off-ear headphone in the test which still interacts with the pinna so to get individual flat you need an in-ear mic. that is why I recommended IEMs the way I understand it is that harman adds the ear-gain because listening to stereo speakers our ears expect that. but with binaural...

based on this paper by Meta, you need a flat FR (at eardrum) for binaural. so your best bet is an IEM EQ'd flat (after bass region)

another option for you: kali lp-unf designed to be used on a desk, front firing ports for more placement freedom, built in DAC and usb input so if you don't want to record you can skip the interface

Sony's PS5 controller "Dual Sense" uses haptics instead of vibrators common in other controllers. the idea is to transfer the feeling. like walking through mud and sand in a game should have a different feel to them. there are even open-source software that send the music signal to them instead...

so all the claims about using them for music production & monitoring is nonsense? subpac even advertises it for that purpose and has a list of music producers that they claim use subpac

basically the title. stuff like subpac, woojer vest, bass-shakers are not talked about in this forum as much. Is there some kind of inherent flaw to the technology or are they ignored because of their gimmicky nature?

ROFLMAO The part about why they are disappointed at Truthear zero REDs has me dying: Just for context, here is their impressions of RED from hearing them at canjam where they didn't know what price exactly its gonna be sold at. it starts at 6:52. Suggested watching with "Entry of the...

'Transient Response' Some people think music has infinite details & different drivers reproduce different amounts of that detail & headphone manufacturers do research & every generation they manage to extract more of these details so they have to increase the price by 2000$ Why don't these...

It is known that you can feel bass in your body, But sometimes when listening to high pitched sounds, I feel some vibrations on my skin. Is it just a psycho-acoustic effect or are there actual vibrations happening?

Moondrop Variations hugging the harman target & using est drivers, Jiu Having usb Audio at $25, qurarks going for $13 Raptgo Hook x being planar + piezo electric + openback goldplanar releasing IEM with AMT driver sorry for sounding like an entitled ass but I think there are so many interesting...

These probably don't sound better than 8361A or Salon 2, But since this is audio SCIENCE review, we are obligated to ignore the our intuition & test it our selves Because if they are even slightly above terrible, they would be a steal. 45$ for a pair of "full-range" mains (more like headphone...

If you want the sound of your speaker+room in your headphone, best solution is the impulcifer+HeSuVi. Impulcifer measures your room with in-ear mic & creates the profile for HeSuVi to use. Since it is your speaker + your room + your ears + your headphones, it should sound natural

Maybe a surround system where L&R play music and the surround speakers play the reverbs? a simple script could do that and since reverb settings are in our hands we should be able to get close to hall experience (or better?) with trial and error (& science) Maybe a ML Model can remove baked...

Equalizer APO would be your best bet as I haven't seen it on any other DSP app that I've tried I'm still interested in reviews & impressions of the filter vs real life & What you lose (or gain) in comparison
