I’d love to say the menu becomes second nature but I still have a few images from the manual saved to my desktop for reference, it’s a very good sounding piece of kit to my ears and I can do most things wo the out referring to the manual. I’m sure if it was something I carried daily I’d take it onboard quicker.

Well, understanding this stuff is basically a chapter of an introductory electronics textbook, so that's understandable.

The front panel jack connects directly to the motherboard. It's intended for headphones, so that should be the right place to connect them. It's possible the rear output will also detect that it's a headphone and connect it to the appropriate amp, but I think it's likely to have the same capabilities. There are also line-level outputs, which *may* give you more voltage than the "smart" headphone jack, but they can't drive much current so I personally I doubt you'd get better results with low-impedance IEMs. These audio chips are fairly complex, they mix multiple functions for each jack, and I don't think you can easily find a spec sheet for them, so unfortunately I can only guess.

If Crin gets paid for a colab, then a cheaper, better rival shows up, how likely is he to damage the prospects of his business partners by being fully honest about a model that might take sales away from his colab? Anything in the price range of any iem he's sponsored/planning to sponsor is now suspect.

Yeah, that cable just needs desoldered, twisted, then soldered back and it should be good

Haha thanks, nice catch by the way! The Ray 2 is my first foray into a proper watch as I was getting tired of the shortcomings of owning a smartwatch. My next purchase is going to be a Citizen Nighthawk BJ7006-56L. I'm looking forward to it!

It is a soft and light wool strap that you can attach to the headband, it doesn't look the best but man does it make your headphone comfort that much better!

So probably 560s is the best for it's price range, right? But the driver size is only 38mm, does that mean anything? Also, is it important to get everything as much in place in the box, as it was when arrived, when you return a headset?

I'll try to take a better photo for you to see, ok you tell me if you think they're fixable

I’m sorry yeah I was just assuming the mobo has a slightly better output than the standard front panel jack. I’m still learning and trying to figure things out and kind of lost.

Looks lovely

You’re correct! And I’m trying to learn about this hobby so do you have any cool info to help me out?

Looks like an easy fix to me, 1 minute solder job

Bad take. Not even gonna elaborate.

haha same here, the blon bl03 it's still my favorite budget iem, it may not be strong in the microdetails part but in tonality is still the king of entry level iems a long with the tin t2 plus(which he did rank this one very high at least, no idea why he has the blon so low)

But, how in the world would I know that I bought the hottest thing since sliced bread if my choice isn’t getting validated by some stranger from the Internet who is just a regular dude, but through convincing other normal dudes that he is an „expert“ got some authority on what is good?!?!?

In your opinion. Mine differs. Isn't it cool how that works?

Edit: LOL down votes for literally the most truthful thing possible. Gotta love Reddit fanboys

just play around with sinus waves in high frequencies like hearing then for a moment then turning them off, sometimes it hides the tinnitus temporally, do neck exercises to relax all muscles that may be worsening the tinnitus.

indeed, VERY back luck 😔

KOSS said I could send them back to them, but guess what, it's much much more expensive for me to do that, than to buy another pair from Amazon.

unless I find a way to fix this myself (or meet someone that can), this is a F for me.

what a shame

But it really doesn't matter what his opinions are on his own collabs because they're never presented in comparison to other stuff (ranking list). It's totally fine for him to make a video about his collabs and be like "omg guys collab wow!!" but he doesn't really say that "this is better than this other one or worse than this other one" in those videos, or put them on his ranking list

No but he's not exactly neutral about them either, which makes sense, but it does take away from his objectivity IMO

Yikes, I've never seen one come like that. Bad luck my dude.

I mainly bought the IER-M9 because crin's ranking and pricing of it looked like a good deal, wonder where he will put them now
