Time to add Topping G5 to /USB/BT DAC/ Hall of Fame
Should be #1 choice for maximalists as it's the best measuring portable source on the market

It's pretty good but do you really need your IEMs to play at 130dB.

Based. This is currently my front runner in the planar race.

It's the only way to get the required level of review, science and measurement placebo.

I got my coomdrops after recommendations in this thread. Are they supposed to have no bass?
Iron Maiden sounds pretty meh.

Should have checked the graph. Just get used to it or return them.

> Should have checked the graph
I don't understand those graphs.
> return them
Probably the right option. Shame, they're pretty good for at least half of my playlist.
Anything similar not lacking bass?

Just add a low shelf filter, adjust to your liking

Variations if you just want more subbass, ej07m Kinda Lava if you want mid bass as well. Ask others though.
Now you know what B2 sounds like you can compare to its graph, and guess how other things will sound based on their graph.

>guess how other things will sound based on their graph.
Here's a comparison to my main headphones (Sundara), according to the graph, they have even less bass? But they sound better to me.

Don't compare in-ears with headphones: compare in-ears with in-ears and headphones with headphones.
Crypt of the Necrodancer, if rogue-lites are your thing.
I remember playing DJMax Portable 3 on PSP. Maybe there are some good games in the series.

In that case it is very likely you are not getting a proper seal from the tips

>Iron Maiden sounds pretty meh.
agreed

based
why did you buy that pos bro

Any headsets shaped like the female reproductive system? The actual earpieces would be the ovaries, and maybe the vagina the volume control / pocket for your cellphone to lie in.
I think it would have a nice subliminal effect when women see it.
