headphones that can survive in the rain…

maybe… just TWS earbuds like airpods pro 2 or wf xm5?

alternatively, strap a jbl flip 6 to your forehead. at least it’ll survive in the rain.

This is what i use. I’m not sure if it’s entirely accurate but i’d assume so?

Anyways, i check how loud i listen with my airpods, then try and match that volume with my iems (just by listening to it)

haven’t listened to bose in a long time but i know sonys are pretty garbage, just over bloated bass (saying as a bass head, like a shake your head type of bass head).

i’m curious if bose sounds any better. i liked my qc35, i hope the ultras are good?

can anyone help me decide if these are any good compared to the 6xx?

i’ll be honest APP2 are pretty neutral and sound fine to me. a little lacking in bass perhaps but otherwise i like em

both are garbage

because xm4 sounds like fucking garbage, i am not surprised

it’s pretty incorrect with everything except apple products

I love mine so much. They are the only comfortable IEMs (everything else just becomes uncomfortable after a while).

Yeah it’s annoying to replace the cable and do the tape mod, but after it’s done it really is just great. I won’t find anything like it.

my vote also goes to the ie200 just solid overall (but you’ll have to replace the cable and do a tape mod, both are pretty easy)

No, i hated the XS when i got it. Immediately started the refund process as soon as I listened to one song.

Nice shitpost, at least some effort went into it.

So long you ain’t blowing your eardrums out then whatever sounds better. If you get enough volume on low gain, use that. If you don’t, high gain.

On my ifi zen dac, i’ve got it on high gain simply because i want a little headroom. It’s set to about 1 o clock on the dial.

Those don’t exist brother.

Actually, look into etymotic iems, trust me they sit “on the outside”

if you’ve gone through 3 pairs, it can’t be manufacturing at that point or else they wouldn’t sell the product. unless you have immensely bad luck, i think it would be something on your end.
