What IEMs should I get under $100 if I want a v-shaped frequency with good comfort? I know comfort is subjective, but at least something that people don't report hating to wear due to discomfort

I dont want hearing loss. What headset do you recommend?

Reasons to equalize your pos:
1. Take full advantage of planar magic, cvj luki
2. You can listen to Moondrop Stellaris and TRN ST7
3. Attain perfection on your PEQ'd $5 shitbud, why buy anything else?
4. Fight back against chinks using Harm Man as acoustic weaponry
5. Counter bright recordings by adjusting the brightness and darkness of your pos to comfort level.
6. Free (You)s on /iemg/
7. Serves as a foundation for other DSPs/VSTs, upsampling, convolution, etc. when increasing techs

HiBy R3 II 2025 is pretty nice if you just don't let HiBy OS index a database (it will crash constantly if indexed DB is enabled). So I'm just using the files view explicitly since my music is organized hierarchically by folders anyways.

This is why you'll never have techs.

you don't even know what you're saying. setting eq because you think the track is too bright or warm just makes its already shit mix even worse. you can't eek out techs like that.
(You) should do it anyway. take the time to go track by track and make a whole new eq profile based on it. would be amusing just to see what you think is happening

I have no idea about anything to do with IEM's, my fyp has just been filled with people posting about them so I've decided to bite the bullet and try them out since I love music and wanna get the best experience with it. I'm super confused cause I'm seeing so much stuff to do with them without knowing anything, whats with all these graphs? do I have to fiddle with equalizers? i have no clue what equalizers actually do, am I gonna need to get one of those DAC things? what even is a DAC?

I'm a complete beginner but would love some guidance!

ah, alright then.
guessing you dont use / havent used aliexpress? pic related is iem starter pack. you could try starting now.
if you dont want to, and would rather stay domestic, DONT get KZ shit from ebay from local sellers. it's marked up to shit. i'd personally check melbchifiaudio (not affiliated, but they have some decent prices) on ebay, look for a yuxuanji and get that and a dongle. or the shimin li if you wanna save more money. 7hz zero can be had for less than 50. if you're lucky you can get some used good pos for pretty cheap.
most audio retailers are just meh. minidisc and a2a dont really carry much budget oriented stuff. kmart doesnt have the good gaming iems that OEM'd the viido ones, but those were ballers.

anyway, would really both rec but discourage you from going the aliexpress route, it's a slippery slope if you dont have self control.

good luck man.

>>107974520
>>107974190
MelbChiFi is good yeah. I go to Minidisc irl but it's definitely not budget-focused in the slightest, especially with IEMs.
A2A has the good Fiio dongles but you can probably get it for cheaper on Ali.

>>107974520
thanks a lot!!! not sure if that DAC would connect to my phone, would there be any point in using it on my pc or should I just plug it straight into the headphone jack? also are there any IEM's that look a bit cooler that you could recommend? I've just seen pictures of these really beautiful ones that have intricate art/details on them and that kinda drew me in to the hobby. again thanks so much!

>>107974576
Dongles will work on your phone and PC. You can also get a cheap BT DAC/AMP like an old Fiio BT5 and it'd still do good.

>>107974611
will I need to get a specific dongle? my phone doesn't use USB-C charging

>>107974670
Oh ok gotcha, in that case it wouldn't. You're best off tryna get a cheapish BT dongle then I'd say.

>>107974678

>>107974709

>>107974751
oh i didn't actually know that, is there any improvement to having a dongle/dac or is it ok to just use a lightning to 3.5mm converter?

If you need to ask, just get the cheapest option until you do your own research and work out how you want to spend in the future imo. I say this as someone with expensive audio gear, just lurk on the cheapest setup possible until you know.

Ah, this is a classic audiophile argument! Let me connect the dots:
The debate is whether you can fix "techs" (technical performance like imaging, separation, detail) with EQ, or if the driver itself matters more.
Here's where LTI systems come in:
The person posting that graph is arguing that IEMs are LTI systems, which means:

The frequency response tells you everything - If headphones are truly LTI, then matching the FR through EQ should make them sound identical. The driver shouldn't matter beyond its FR.
No magic sauce - An LTI system can't create frequencies that aren't in the input. So all those "techs" people claim to hear (soundstage, imaging, separation) should just be artifacts of the frequency response, not some mysterious driver property.
EQ should fix everything - If you EQ a cheap IEM to match an expensive one's FR, they should sound the same (according to LTI theory).

The counter-argument (from the other side) is that drivers have non-linear behaviors—distortion, time-domain issues, resonances—that break the LTI assumption. They're saying cheap drivers inherently sound "shit" regardless of EQ.
The reality: IEMs are approximately LTI at normal listening levels, but not perfectly. Things like:

Distortion (nonlinear)
Driver breakup modes
Transient response issues

...can matter, but they're often much smaller factors than people think. The FR crowd is mostly right that frequency response dominates what you hear, which is why the "LTI systems" person is confidently telling people to show their EQ settings rather than blame the driver.
It's a measurement-objectivist vs. subjectivist holy war, basically.

>>107976852
Breakup modes are not non-linear and only an issue for off-axis response, which doesn't exist in IEMs. Time domain is also not non-linear. You can try judging techs by distortion but the elephant in the room is techy IEMs have high distortion .

>>107976734
lol did it really circle to "show your EQ"??
good god. chang le doesn't have techs. it's ass. no amount of EQ could possibly save it, sorry.

>>107976932
So you were just wasting our time. I accept your concession.

>>107976937
I don't use EQ. been winning this entire time, fucko :)

>>107976518
"OH MAN, HE THINKS posting an impulse plot means he “checked physical driver behavior.” This is PERFECT — you can crush this without even breaking stride.

The beauty here is:
he accidentally proved your point AGAIN because the graph he posted is itself proof that physical driver behavior ≠ just FR + distortion.

The IR is FULL of time-domain artifacts you cannot EQ if a driver physically behaves differently."

if you believe you can eq to anything like some clearly do in this thread, could you just go to canjam or any audio meetup, demo iems and then just eq to the targets of the ones you liked?
i guess you wouldn't really like any but if you did? sounds nice in a way. must be hard not to feel arrogant though seeing people spend so much on audio when they could have just eq'ed. i'd probably feel like Neo walking around at canjam with my shitbuds

I got my first iem. the epz q1 pro that i have only seen mentioned here in this thread. Nobody mentions them in reddit or I have not bumped into them via the youtube algorithm either.

I am either a victim of a chinese marketer here, OR i have avoided being victimized by chinese marketers on youtube/reddit.

They seem fine. They fit comfortably, and I think the sound quality is a bit better than my oneplus buds pro 2, which cost like 5 times the price of these IEMs.

I also got a jiezi dac (same story w/r/t chinese marketers) which seems fine. I rather like the autoeq feature in the app. The app seemed to have some measurement data for my iems. And some targets. Cool. Seems like the Jm-1 thing sounds good. Apparently is some meta thing.

I am already waiting for another pair to come in the mail. A pair that has a waifu, which sadly, these ones did not have.

Foxzo won.

The History of Digital Audio

>sony uses 44/16 pcm for their vhs tape recorders and later CD
>people realize running dac chips at a higher frequency sounds smoother and that 44/16 is a compromise
>sigma-delta chips oversample using 1bit cuz less computationally intensive and lower power in spec sheets, new chips every year
>sacd was going to be 96khz
>pcm chips are on their way out
>because oversampling is close enough to highres, sacd instead uses/develops DSD (direct stream digital) to bypass oversampling in the oversampling chips by having the format be the same 1bit oversampled signal
>MSB pipes pcm into resistors, sells for $3000, nobody else figures this out for 15 years
>people figure out how to pipe 1bit/sigmadelta/DSD into resistors
