•Why use a PMP instead of a phone? >better DAC/AMP >more output power so it can drive higher impedance headphones >smaller sizes than phones for activities like exercise >physical buttons >headphone jacks >some people can't use smartphone at work/use dumbphones
•How to request advice: >Budget >Source (phone or PMPs) >Location >Kind (in-ears or earbuds) >Sound Signature (or genres you like, important!) >Past gear and your thoughts on them (important!)

I mainly listen to new age and ambient on IEMs because it's not fatiguing on chifi sets.

youtube.com/watch?v=WwnZeQiI6hQ This sounds 100% certified HORRIBLE on h*rmanshit. "People" who mask midbass with subbass because of muh warm fuzzy rumbly sound deserve the rope.
Hunter Edwards
There's no subbass here, how could it mask anything.
>none of the lower peaks mask it They do on Harmanshit. You do understand that you need to clearly hear valleys between peaks not only peaks itself for correct, timbre, right? If >There's no subbass here Was truthful, then 60hz HP filter would not change the sound in any way. It does, severely so on harmanshit. So why'd you talk about things you don't understand?
Evan Harris
>hzsound is safe I'm gonna make it bros
Nicholas Garcia
>They do on Harmanshit. They literally don't, as evident by the picture you yourself posted. Even on z1r, which has more midbass than harman, its influence ends at 200 if you ever bothered to look up masking thresholds. >would not change the sound in any way It doesn't.
Blake Harris
>they don't because I'm deaf Ok?

people who grew up with chink, "horn", or tinny speakers. music SQ is like food, you prefer the stuff that you "grew up with" audioreviews.org/chi-fi-tuning/ if you've never heard a good sound system during childhood you will never appreciate good sound system in future. (however people do appreciate "sound stage" so everything is literally just diffuse field anyways which is basically increase the gain of harmonic frequencies or 20dB compression)
Aiden Taylor
They don't because physics. Don't confuse your shitty driver producing harmonics with masking.
Isaiah Turner
hzsound is like blon but less bass bloat the point is you use them with EQ applied to your preference.
Grayson Garcia
What harmonics are you even talking about dipshit. IEM DD have inaudible harmonic distortion. >physics clearly on display in
I can literally launch a sine wave generator alongside this track and still clearly hear the guitar bassline - and that's with a 10dB bass shelf. Throw away your shitty IEMs.
Julian Clark
what music do you use to test mids?
Easton Jones
couldn't get through the first 10 sec I was arguing with a brain damaged retard listening to literal trash on harmanshit I was the fool in the end so your "definition" of auditory masking is not being able to discern adjacent base frequencies at all geez dude, don't waste my time
