Wow those dips are wild.

Well yeah in that case iems aren’t for you. Although I would still try different ones because it seems to be a fit issue. I had the same problem with dusk and variations. Couldn’t get the fit right and long term comfort wasn’t there. Perhaps try bullet type iems like final audio e-series?

You’re dismissing all IEMs on the basis of a set that costs $16?

But are they better than AirPods Max? :-)))

There are people that consider HomePods ‘great’?
