Surprise you talk about “Fit & Comfort “. None of your reviews ever mention the nozzle width & depth or the actual dimensions. You only say it’s small and comfortable, but when i view it personally, it’s big and chunky.

@SandersCat_yo 3 ай бұрын

tbh that's fair because everyone has different ears and comfort is very subjective sadly

@spamcan9208 3 ай бұрын

@@SandersCat_yothat's why op mentioned dimensions, actual measurements. It's helpful to have something you can compare to with your own iem(s.) Just knowing the size of the nozzle gives me a general idea something is likely to feel uncomfortable.

@@SandersCat_yoyup, just received my MP145 in the mail today and I have small ears and small canals. Despite multiple warnings by people saying to not buy it if you have small ears, it fits like a glove in my ears (with the small nozzle). They don’t feel heavy either since they’re made of alumninum. If anything, I’m a bit disappointed by the cable, as it doesn’t have cable guides that can mold to the shape of my small ears, so the cables just kinda rest on top of my ears unless I angle the connection very far forward. But the units themselves stay firmly in my ear no matter how much I shake my head

Budget market is so crazy that you can saturate most of the sound signatures with decent sets if you're willing to miss out 10% max 30% of the total possible technicalities and detail

@prinzatago 3 ай бұрын

Agree, the diminishing return effect is especially prominent in this hobby. $50 is already good enough for casual listening. $100-150 range is a significant jump in details and clarity that should be great for most amateur audiophile. You have to go to the kilobucks range to actually get some significant improvements in technicality (especially when it comes to macro details and complex layering). However as you said, it's not day and night different.

Thank you so much for talking about nozzle length. Its so much more important than the diameter!

@joesatchton212 3 ай бұрын

Applaud your effort to create this kind of noob thing. We all know how complicated this kinda stuff can get. Overall, not a bad effort, but some friendly constructive criticism for you: - Discuss briefly the massive price gamut for IEMs, with shockingly good IEMs at pittance prices and shockingly bad IEMs at the upper price range - When discussing the physical elements of IEMs, show some examples on screen, especially what a longer nozzle looks like compared to shorter ones. Yes, more editing work, but the resulting video will be so much more useful to the noobs you are trying to help - Same thing with cables. Discuss briefly the differences between the 2 standards of 2pin and MMC and any pros and cons you may have for each. Again, show what each type looks like - In my many, many years of screwing around with this stuff, I have concluded that the single most impactful thing about how a given pair of IEMs sounds is the seal I can get. Therefore, a broken out brief overview of the several main types of eartips along with examples and pros and cons for each is IMO essential. You can add all of the above and still come in under the 10minute video mark but the end result will be exponentially more useful. Again, friendly, constructive criticism bro....cheers!

Try headphones first prior to iem. Then check out iem to hear what you’re missing in terms of spatial cues. Enjoy, trust your ears be aware of what live voice instruments sound like and note that while testing equipment out. Remember your ears are always 100% right, it’s about you. Cheers.

@guessit5036 3 ай бұрын

At this point, I think the first thing one must do before buying any kind of IEM is to make a cast of the entire ear and ear canal. Then, measure every crany, every shape with a tape and write everyhlthing down. Only after that, you can go and start your hunt for an IEM.

@guessit5036 3 ай бұрын

@@Gizaudio Unfortunately, that's not a case for me. The only thing that is being massively sold here (shoved down a throat one might even say) is either Sony, Apple or JBL headphones. IEMs are non existent here. Sometimes you can find somebody selling IEMs either on Facebook market or on the local "eBay", but that's because somebody like me (we are a rare breed here) ordered an IEM and they did not like them.

IEM comfort is probably the biggest hurdle for me getting into this hobby. What started out as a $50 trial run is slowly turning into a $300 intro drug. First I tried the Zero Red and the nozzle was way too big. Then I tried the Truthear Nova, and the shell shape was too big for my ear. Then I tried the EM6L, which was alright, but I didn't like the sound. Then I tried the Chopin, and I'm still trying to figure out what ear tips to use with it, because I love the sound but the shape is very different. The SpinFit W1 Small are too big and cause pressure after about an hour, similar with Divinus Velvet (MS, S was too small) and Dunu S&S (M, S didn't fit), but the SpinFit CP100+ Small are close and I'm trying to see if they are comfortable long-term. My backup-plan for comfy IEMs are the IE200, so I'm trying my friend's IE300 to see if the shape is comfortable. So far, the cable on the IE300 is trash and twists the IEM in my ear to a very uncomfortable degree, so if I end up trying the IE200 I'll have to get an aftermarket cable. I fear Amazon is gonna ban me from returning too many things in a short amount of time lmao

@prinzatago 3 ай бұрын

The KATO is great, you are already in the endgame for most amateur audiophile xD I paid double the KATO to get the Blessing 3, and even though the improvements are real (especially in the bass and technicalities), it's not double the quality at all. I'm still very satisfied with what I get and the upgrade is well worth the extra, but yeah, greatly diminishing return.

Ziigaat nuo. Not bassy but enough to have slightly warm mids. It is a little vocal forward. The downside is the treble can be fatiguing for some.

@hartyewh1 3 ай бұрын

I wouldn't take either making the point that asking others what kind of sound you like is nonsensical. Do you ask other people what food you like? Wan'er I find a bit messy and mushy sounding. Fun and an easy listen mostly, but lo-fi kinda. Gate for me is bright and the bass is not only weak, but poor quality. For fun bass (and actually almost everything) I'd take a KZ Libra balanced or a Chu 2 DSP for less bass. The only way you'll know is by trying something and going from there.
