I enjoy my Chus. In fact I'm listening to them right now. They are my default wandering around IEMs

I assume your foam ones also have a good seal, do you have trouble hearing people around you?

Im really excited to try them! I really did not like the chus treble it sounded very grainy to me.

I have long, thick hair and a beard and have had no issues with that at all.

Well, the 2nd gen is even better than the 1st. I’d say a little bit more V-shaped than the 1st gen, but that’s a good thing.

i have the airpods pro 1 and i do agree the tuning is shockingly neutral. AirPods Pro might be probably the best purchase for anyone looking into airpods because they’re pretty affordable and make for some of the best true wireless earbuds. i really love mine

Yea, but why not give us a simple EQ. Or allow a third party app to have a system wide EQ.
I had the AirPods Max, but recently sold them. I do like the AirPods Pro 2 tuning without any EQ though.

we get those bullshit preset EQ settings but they’re pretty shit. and their locked down ecosystem means you can’t run a third party parametric EQ. i suppose lowest common denominator consumer will always be apple’s priority

I’ll never understand why Apple won’t just give us an EQ. Even if it’s just something basic.

Love it! What are those hangers you’re using? those are awesome!

They are accessibility settings for the hearing impaired, so I guess being used as an EQ just wasnt the design goal.
There’s also some weird way to import an audiogram that apparently applies some EQ without crushing dynamic range, but I never figured out how to use it. If you feed it some random picture it will prompt you to manually input settings but I never worked out how to get useful results from it.

that would explain all my problems lmao, do you know why this is? Just a limit of being able to change the tuning on the fly perhaps?

Those settings heavily compress dynamic range. Not really usable for high fidelity.

The midrange is something special on these. I love the HD6x0's timbre, but the HD800/800S is like in a different league in terms of natural timbre.
