Don't these assume that the entirety of a product's sound quality is visible on the frequency chart? Is that actually true?
John Williams
why is not apple 9$ usb dac included ? are you shill ? also why would u push monitors in your ears ? are you retarded ? lol ? xaxaxaxaxa ?
Justin Phillips
CX31993 obsoleted it by being cheaper/same price AND having no volume-limiting problems with Android.
David Rogers
not assume, it's 99% dependent of volume and frequency response
Christopher Brooks
>why is not apple 9$ usb dac included It's shit for android users because you gotta go through workarounds just to get the volume over 50% >are you retarded ? yes, like literally every other schizo in this god forsaken general

>Should I get Xelastecs or Spring Tips edition get bgvp w1 instead
>puts cotton/sponge/foam in the itps heh, nothing personel
Nicholas Green
Why? Those look like regular tips. I was interested in Xelastec because the material seems to adhere well to the ear canal and whatnot.
Tyler Myers
does anyone itt even have it? mine is still on the way
Logan Russell
i thought you were going for wide bore tips and paying 15-20$ for tips is just retarded dont know about the material but they are supposdly soft
Austin Morales
Reminder that you don't need to listen to an IEM to know how it sounds as long as you can read graphs
Camden Sanders
Nah I don't care about whatever the difference in sound is between wide/narrow bore, I just want a better seal, comfort and adherence but am tired of foams.
David Myers
greetings from csg have you bought your usb hifi upgraders yet
At what volume do people here listen to music? I can power even Moondrop SSPs and Final Audio IEMs just fine on android. They are much too loud already somewhere around 50%. Other IEMs are plenty loud at two or even one on the volumebar >inb4 hyperacusis
Benjamin Nguyen
old zs3 cause they have less highs than cra and i get fatigued watching youtube with them and my quarks arent here yet
Julian Long
>any difference in quality? I don't know, but it is definitely not worse. It might have more bass than the Apple USB-C dongle but that might just be my placebo > is hiss gone on the cra? yes, hiss completely disappears and it is dead quiet when using CRAs > works wth computer? yes, "just works" by plugging in to my up-to-date Win10 laptop. Also works with my Sony Android TV while using the regular USB adapter.
Thomas Edwards
usb hi-end upgrader cant you read?
Julian Robinson
nice hope they dont add bass cause cra is too bassy for me already
Nolan Fisher
It is weird, on my laptop while using CX31993 I can go to only 4%-6% and I can enjoy my CRA. I can go louder but I don't need because my home is quiet.
When using the Applel dongle on Android? Gotta fucking crank full volume to hear songs.
