Reply to comment by blorg in 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
I don’t believe it is the 100 as I already have a pair and they are quite different. I was thinking it’s a 155 but I’m also thinking they look different too… hmm

Reply to comment by THEleibniz in Monoprice canceled my m1570c order. I guess you guys bought them all up when they were $200 and they still let my order go through? by didnt_ask_dont-care
Yep, mine was placed on the 19th at 10am and I received a cancellation after inquiring about an order update.

Reply to Wanting to use my iems with my tv by GRAYtheIDIOT
I bought Sennheiser's Flex 5000, connects to the TV via optical then uses radio or 2.4ghz (can't remember) to a receiver which accepts any 3.5mm thing. Works great and has some gimmicks too.

Well, I wonder why they decided to make the vent so large though. It does lead to sound leakage.

I mean, you can see it for yourself. Term "open-back" is not something that exists in IEM world, even iSine is called semi-open. This is nowhere near iSine level of openness

I think the newer ones come with CP100. If you are getting them, there's a slightly newer version, CP100+, with a slightly thinner/tackier/better silicone. CP100 fit, anyway, and are SpinFit's most popular tip. SpinFit W1 are a newer more expensive tip that is also decent. Personally, I use Moondrop Spring Tips on mine (Tia Trio).

Reply to I just had my first 'eargasm' in a very long time and it was while wearing...... Crushers? by mans_not_hot
I love my Crusher Evo's. They are like the weekend warrior of headphones. They are out for a good time, getting blackout drunk at nightclubs, busting the sickest moves out on the dance floor, projectile vomiting on cocktail waitresses and the next day waking up in some random persons bed, time to escape! When the weekend is over the Hifimans come back out, put their suit and tie on and do the 9x5 grind.
lol okay, maybe not that colorful but they are a lot of fun and sound good, great headphone to accompany your everyday driver when you just want to let loose and let your basshead fantasies run wild. Instant smile.

Pretty sure that could just be a venting port. Almost all IEMs have them, just smaller ones. They help relieve pressure build up in the ear and prevent driver flex.

Crushers have their purpose, its a basshead paradise and nothing else. Ive had deep rooted earwax get pushed out after an hour of max bass listening on my pair. I think theyre great, as long as sound quality isnt your first priority. Also most of (id say 90%) of friends who arent experienced in the audiophile space love the crushers the most out of my small collection. The faces they make after listening to a song like massive attack by angel never let me down. Its something else

nice and clean
It looks like you have an AT LP-60x turntable, so you could upgrade it with a rubber or cork mat (might improve stability while playing, will likely avoid static issues like the original felt mat lifting up when removing a record), and you could upgrade the stylus to an elliptical diamond one.

Ill definitely try those KCS75s and a SHP9500 after I get paid. After all I did just buy around 80$ in car speaker equipment. Thanks for the info though

Ohhhh... You're one of those redditors. You just want to argue and get the last word in. You're not actually interested in discussion.
Sorry man, I'm not interested. You won your argument, congratulations!

Reply to comment by csch1992 in DAC is too hot by TraubeMinzeTABAK
Amplifiers vary in efficiency. This depends on their design. The less efficient, the excess power needs to be vented as heat. It depends too on stuff like the case design, the K5 Pro I think has a quite big (and particularly tall) case most of which is empty. I know with some other stuff, like Topping has one small amp, the A30 Pro, which does a very large amount of power but in a very small case, and it reportedly gets very hot, hotter than something like the A90 which has similar power but in a larger case. The A30 needs ventilation holes all over which the A90 doesn't. The dongle I have that gets hot, the MoonRiver 2, is also particularly thin for the power level.

> Any suggestions on what I need to upgrade next?
The question of upgrading is honestly as much philosophical in this hobby as anything. You can always chase something else, and different headphones will perform better for certain genres than others, or highlight different aspects of the tracks.
If you really did want something else, you'd have to first state your preferences. Are you currently content with the Deva? Is there anything you feel they are missing? If not, maybe just enjoy them!

They're very different to beats imo. Beats are very boomy in terms of bass while the crushers are just intense to the point where the bass gets painful at times. But they have a slider to control the bass drivers so you can find the sweet spot.
