I'm feeling stressed even though it's nice weather, if you have any post your happy summer music. Here's some of the music I'm listening to, if you're wondering what types of music I meant.

>Past gear and your thoughts on them (important!)
Been using KZ's (ZST PRO, ZSX, ZAX) for the last years so I guess i am a V-shape fag? ZAX is my current daily driver.

also got sennheiser bt350 and they truly suck, everything is too "plain" and nothing feels as bright as any KZ i ever owned, they're currently gathering dust.


can't decide between one of these, Aria or Stardust?

--------------------

Xingcheng, chink Vocaloid, also yeah it's a SSP/R collab like the Miku Aria.

My bestie told me the same, but I wanted to hear your opinion on it, considering the type of music I listen, my first IEM's were KZ and haven't moved from there since. so this is going to be my first MOONDROP.

the aria and SSP use a similar tuning. the SSP is just a worse and cheaper attempt at it.

Stardust graph has been up on squig.link for a while now, it has a lot of treble and not a lot of bass but it is also smooth unlike KZ's. Aria has more bass, but not as much treble.
I do think Stardust may be too bright, but if you like bright it could be worth trying. You can also add bass by putting some tape on the front vent.

why did shortbus shill for olina, it was weird

Got these memes couple of days ago. Took a month for 'em to get delivered but it was worth the wait.

because olina are genuinely good?

>this is what poorfags have to put up with
So much for "le budget king" amrite?

TRI meteor

is cra even good for anime watching

good for everything. $20, cant be mad.

Yes. Just need to dial down 4k-5k region a bit.

but good part of user's anime girls speak in that region, why'd you want to silence them?

Anime girls are to be ogled at, not to be listened.

Is the flash-stick-like form factor (e.g. Walkman nwz-b170 and some others) dead? What is the proper name for that kind of device btw?
If not then what are up to date good options on the market?

If not then what are some good players, preferably with Android where one can listen, switch between tracks and change volume without using touch screen or looking at the device (e.g. has physical controls)?

Every single /iem/ thread is just you arguing about 20 dollar IEMs. You are all brown poorfags using CRT displays, Core 2 Duo cpus and 10+ year old android phones. Go get a job instead of shitposting here
