Are high-end gear more revealing of source distortion? I've noticed audio distortion a whole lot more when using my EM10 than when I'm using 7Hz Zero 2 or CX 400-II while I'm watching youtube at 1.3x speed. I'm not sure if the issue is the drivers or the audio compression that happens when the...

Samsung has launched a new tws, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. I went to a Samsung store near my house and listened to it and it was quite interesting. Below are the images provided by Samsung. It is said that a Planar tweeter was used. It was quoted by a reviewer's site called 0db in Korea. It's...

I'm experiencing discomfort with my IEM (In-Ear Monitor) cables pulling on my ears. I'm looking for a solution to keep the cables securely in place around my head, preventing them from tugging on my ears during use.

I'm between these two IEM's for producing my music (mainly beats and electronic) but I can't decide which one would be better, I'll add both curves in the thread so if you want could help me decide between these two. However any IEM suggestions for producing music and also enjoying listening...

First of all, this is my experience with BRIR. I think it's going to be the same in real life, but please note that it would be unrealistic to place the problem the same and run it as it is. I'm enjoying BRIR, XTC and I try a lot of things in the meantime. Not long ago, I was thinking to myself...

I've been on my own journey, rabbit hole for a good IEM here., and my 1st and only IEM is a CCA CRA, which I have a lot of respect for. I understand its the 2nd incarnation of this model, cos I bought and received mine, within the most rece's nt month. It was bought on a whim for approx...

Here are the photos from the official website. Moondrop U-2 There don't seem to be many reviews for this product yet. I purchased it from Taobao and received it today. (To be honest, I didn't have high expectations due to the structural characteristics of earbuds.) It wasn't terrible, but...

Hello. I recently ordered and received a custom IEM. I'm looking to write a personal review about it. (I'm not professinal reviewer) I custom ordered the Viento B version from a Korean earphone manufacturer called Hidition. The current exchange rate is uncertain, but the price is 990,000...

hi, im searching for (in this pic I posted) the left in ear but with a changeable cable, I couldn't find one of those, just a pair selling on aliexpress but isnt what I like, does someone know some site where I could find this?

Well it's finally here. Looking forward to the reviews.

I've been uncomfortable with some of the default cables and am on an adventure to find one that has the color,design and softness I want. (It's not about the sound) However, I don't see many users on ASR using cables made by Aliexpress. What about you? I used to use these plain...

Hello, this is a review of the TANCHJIM KARA IEM. This is my personal pair and costs US $179, but it is on sale on Amazon now for $143. This review will cover acoustic measurements of the TANCHJIM Kara IEM. Product Info, Physical Appearance and Size Kara is a hybrid IEM with 1 dynamic driver...

Hey all. Aful Performer5 IEMs seem to be all the hype right now. They seem to graph really well in my opinion and taste. Any one have any experience with them?

Got this quite recently based on its graphs and suggestion of @mc.god for $42 delivered same day from Amazon. They also look very good in my opinion - smooth matte metal with minimum distractions. Like that. How does it sound? Sounds great out of the box to me, without EQ. In fact, when...

Hello! This is a review and measurements of the new Moondrop May headphones. This is my personal pair and it costs US $65. I have been browsing ASR for a while now, but I have never posted anything here. I decided to write my very first review on this budget friendly USB-C DAC and headphone...

Has anyone tried this? The IEM was fixed to fit the inner ear using a Sugru product. Apple's Earpods are originally comfortable. But it was very loose in my ears and showed bass loss and imbalance in response. It's not a big deal in normal listening, but I listen to all IEMs in hrir (brir), so...

Hi everybody! :) My name's John, I'm from Italy and I've just landed here on ASR. TL : DR Are Moondrop Chu II, Linsoul 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 or TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZeroRed natively balanced? Or are them just SE with 4,4 cable capability? Verbose version Starting to go deeper into the...

Read this article on headphones.com talking about the advantages of using B&K5128 for in-ear headphones specifically, and found it interesting. If I understood it correctly, it is saying that 5128 with its closer-to-human-ear acoustic impedance provides better insights into how in-ear...

These results are superimposed from the PTA audiogram test I had and it looks like I have low-frequency hearing loss in both ears (13dBHL right ear and 12dBHL left ear), and my right ear has lost some high frequencies. This makes me wonder, how long can use IEMs and headphones until it reaches...
