bro. go "all out" and get the s12 or s12 pro.

It's an old meme

the wa’ners are crazy. It’s hard to find a more natural sounding iem, even at much higher prices imo

Mh you might have particularly low tolerance to highs then, I would definitely not call the Aria harsh by any standards.

Also don't read too much into the peaks on graphs beyond 8K in general, they generally aren't necessarily there for your ears but only for the coupler.

Those are both dynamic driver IEMs.

Yeah, but could’ve been a few bucks more and still be great, ya know? I wish it was, because it deserved more, it is so good.

Also the CCA CRA is even cheaper and it has replaceable cables.

Because it’s £19

That sounds like an awesome storage and transport solution, I can truly imagine being overawed with the storage and transport solution described above

Awesome

adjective adjective: awesome extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring awe. "the awesome power of the atomic bomb" or felt bag

For someone who wouldn't even put IEMs in another person's ears, this whole IEM-related drama is hilarious to observe.

Try the Apple earbuds headphone

Maybe just individual variation. How does the Aria sound to you? For me it's the most harsh and metallic audio device I have heard in my life no matter how it fits and no matter what tips I use due to an EXTREME 12k peak.

With the Chu I get a mild 12k peak and it still sounds pretty good. CRA, a moderate 10k peak and it sounds ok. Salnotes zero, moderate to large 11k peak and it sounds not great.

Not for me. It actually has somewhat relaxed treble. The Salnotes Zero is harsh and metallic for me with a big 11k spike.

Thanks! I got the hangers off eBay. Search for "wood headphone hanger" and scroll a bit, a bunch of Chinese sellers have them. I wanted a more homely look, so I glued and pinned mine to some wooden discs (bark and all) meant for Christmas decorations. These in turn are fastened to the wall with a screw each.

This is everyone in this sub. From one love story to another.

Found the Lego Skywalker.

Well there's also the size. The Chu is nice and small, while the Salnotes Zero is freaking massive. I've used the Truthear Zero and it is nice in sound and punchy, but the fit is just... it hurts my ears.

That I cannot argue. To support OP, if you you have to pick between Chu or Salnotes Zero, Zero is the objectively better option with simply for its detachable cable. But there's no reason to get Zero if you already got a Chu since signature wise they're sound so similar.

I like it, it's just a bit sad that the cable is so bad and can't be replaced. Many other cheap IEMs have decent cables, and they're replaceable too.

Yeah I wish Moondrop made it cost a bit more, but add a 2 pin connector to make the cables replaceable. I don't understand why they made the cables non-removable but also gave it a trash tier cable...

I would love to replace the connector with something else, if I could.
