Budget IEM (Chit Chat)

[skyline72]

the issue I had with tips rolling is, the same tip that fits on this IEM, can't get the same fit with another, so I took the plunge to go CIEMs

Yea, I do understand that, but I only have 1 set of IEM. That's why I think more reasonable for me to find the perfect tips instead.

which ciem u recc? i used to own one till i broke it on the plane

I haven't tried enough different brands so I don't dare recommend
but most ciem usually have a universal normal IEM version so maybe can try first and if like it, can do up the ciem version, 1st one maybe just go for the entry level one so won't make expensive mistakes as ciem usually hard or impossible to sell and start entry level have more run way to upgrade

I think Amazon really did contract KZ to label their IEMS with Amazon label..

I think these are ND planet...

received the Samsung EO-IA500.
good sub bass. balance, proper retail packaging( genuine.

need to change ear tip to my JVC spiral dot eartip as the 3 defaults sizes cannot make it.
I think it's better than the kz . recommended I bought <$10

While talking about the front panel jack.. I think my PC front panel one is uplorried liao... lol.. only right side got sound, but I dun really rely on it though... lucky I got DAC to use.. and dedicated soundcard...

And today I try again... and try jiggle it a bit left and right and suddenly it is working.. I think the front jack is dirty or something.. dun really have anything suitable to clean.. feel tempted to spray WD40 in but I think it is risky to the other components inside... like reset switch all those.

I only have alcohol swab.. no alcohol liquid.... but anyway since it is working just leave it lor.

 

[ridiculous?]

Those ports when unused maybe tape it up...

Good idea, but I bought some extension cable planning to extend it.. then with splitter if I need to use it. So I would only wear out the extension... as the port on the front panel is difficult to replace..

Finally found a use for my JCALLY Output Impedance 30 Ohms adapter... as I connect CCA Hydro to JCALLY JM80E, it sounded very shouty... so I tried the adapter that came with the AMP... literally did nothing, online discussion suggest is to boost bass... then I finally took out the adapter I bought sometime ago.. and connect it.. and finally not so shouty got more control over the volume, if not I got to work with volume level like 10% where it is too soft... 15% and it is too shouty...
