Reply to What digital connection from PC to DAC? by Nrrve
i prefer optical since it sounds smoother than usb and it was pretty much always like that with any dac i have tried but i do like usb sometimes when i want some more energy. Really depends on the day :) its nice to have both options.

Reply to The ultimate IEM eartip rolling guide? What’s your favorite and does it align with the reviews in the guide? I use the Dunu S&S eartips and the review is spot on. All tips are in alphabetical order and navigation is a breeze. by blak_glass
Might be the wrong place for this but does anyone know what the spinfit tips are that come with 64 audio IEM’s haha. I might need new ones but I can’t find what they are anywhere!

I ordered it 10 minutes before the restock post here on the 19th showed up, so I'm assuming everybody who bought it based on that will be cancelled on.

These "bin store" memes were funny for a few minutes. Now they're older than grandpa's buckskin rubber.

I grew up in the mid 90s and winding up a pair of earbuds into the plastic case was the perfect end to a listening session.
Sadly the plastic winder cases are gone but I still love the fit and feel and yes, the sound, of flathead buds. The extended bass on IEMs is nice, but they give me an uncomfortable sinus pressure so I never really latched on. Another sad thing is all of my 90s… vintage? :( buds are long gone. Funnily enough I’ve never thought to grab a pair of MX500s.
Anyone else still love flathead buds?
Edit: Not sure if it’s more appropriate to make a new post or edit this but I just got my FF5s in the mail. Bottom line up front: Like with so many things, diminishing returns. They are really good and a welcome addition to the collection. The build quality and the accessories included are top notch. I think the braided cable is a little heavy and unwieldy for portable use so I’m looking for a shorter TPE alternative with mmcx connectors. If you have the means and want “the” flat head this is probably your ticket.
If your new to flat heads, don’t have the disposable income and aren’t worried about mmcx connectors there are a hundred fish in the sea under $30 that will get the job done.

Reply to comment by KilgoretheTrout55 in Koss KPH40 - Not thrilled about these OR did I get a bad set? by lcerura
nah i feel the ksc75 is still the king of the koss, with an headband and yaxi pads even more but kinda defeats the cheap price bit.

Reply to comment by paigezpp in Found at the local thrift store. $15 each and $100 for the lot. Not sure if it’s worth it since I can’t identify some of them… by paigezpp
They are selling a rock for $8 that's highway robbery.

Reply to comment by brucie_me in I blind tested Qobuz (HiRes bit perfect) vs Deezer (CD) by mmry404
Well, sort of (and I feel your irony), but on the other hand, my dad always listened to things like Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Laibach etc. at home and in a car. So, when I grew older, it started resonating with me and I used his music taste as a starting point. Still love these to this day!
My mom wanted me to become acquainted with music as early as possible. Thanks to her, I developed a trained ear, but I wasn't sure yet what to do with it. But then, thanks to my dad, I figured out what I like, and listening to music, performing and composing has been a hobby of mine ever since.

So you were "abused" as a kid by having your folks play classical music and you had to listen to it? Wow, what a bummer! Culturally deprived.

It's a headphone from the Company Abyss. This model is the Diana. Google it. It's a $5000 headphone.
