Best/worst decision of my life 🤣🤣

the best one i see in this photo right now is the air pod....

Love JDS. The build, the support, the small envelope on my desk, and dat knob makes it a pretty essential dac/amp in my eyes. Really don't need anything else, solid state-wise, for myself.

Don't listen to the assholes in the comments. Enjoy the stuff you got. Try for yourself, if you like them, then fantastic! If you don't, you can sell them and buy something else.

I haven't tried the other two, but I love my AirPods Pro, they sound amazing. I also loved my ZSN Pro X at the time I got them, they were my first pair of IEMs so I have some nostalgia for them. Good score mate!

Sony IER-Z1R, qdc Gemini, Shure SE846, RHA T20, AirPods Pro 2, Noble Fokus Pro, Bowers &Wilkins PI7

Focal Clear, STAX SR-L300 Limited Edition

I would keep the Sony IER-Z1R, most fun and grand sound while still retaining natural timbre and high technicalities so I can enjoy acoustic and electronic music. Also I use them the most, haven’t touched the others in months

considering the exact same bass curve, and upper treble…unlikely.

This is confirmation that getting the Clear Mg Pro is the logical choice. My nicest pair right now is HD 600 & I figured I’ll just save money and hearing my gf complain about buying too many headphones, I’ll just jump right up in the big leagues.

I know you have the OG Clear, but any negatives one can think of? Also, what amp/DAC are you running

Tangzu Wan'er, Tanchjim Zero, Salnotes Zero, Truthear Hola, but yeah, you definitely have to spend a lot...😆

How are they for music? I hear for videogames, it’s the absolute best. Does the massive soundstage make movies/music sound unnatural in anyway? I’ve heard some people say that. Which is why I think I’m going to get the Focal Clear Mg Pro as it seems to do everything I want. Maybe eventually I’ll get the HD 800s— if once I get the Clear Mg Pro and feel like I need an upgrade

Same here, very tempted by a pearl white TH900 though

The X2s were insanely popular years ago, before the 6XX

They're in stock at Kennerton, the hard to get edition is the one you send to JM for his mark II version

I think he meant go CIEM directly

I could never have just one, but if I had to it’s the Aeon II closed for work and on the go. My second is HD800S but that’s usually just for my desk setup

Nailed it! Just save up for the Sennheiser HD 660s2 or HD 800s

:D

i've had the HD800s, LCD-X. Ananda, even the Elegia, Beyerdynamic T5 3rd gen, and DT 770/880 which was my first pairs.

I went to Ananda after half a year with the DT 770 and when I got the Clears after few months the Ananda was sitting in their package for a long long time, and I really tried to like them after the clear but...meh :p

terrible

I’m so freakin impressed with my AirPods. I was into IEMs a decade or so ago and man the sound you can get out of consumer audio now is mind boggling.

Don't they have different drivers?

Can you make a better IEM for the same price? Or are you going to buy people new gear?

No, the ZSN Pro X isn't great when compared to other IEMs. Even I want to upgrade to a Moondrop Aria.

But my point was that it is good for its price point and will satisfy the vast majority of users, at least for a while until they decide that they want to upgrade. Which, some people don't as they feel content with it.

Don't put down other people's gear just because you were blessed with the fortune to be able to spend large amounts of money on yours.

Oh boy 😨

Send everything back except for the AirPods Pro 2, nothing wrong with the rest of the bunch, you just happen to have a pair of true wireless buds that are both very good for portable use and sound quality. I believe they sound better than the other headphones too, and is in the same league as IEM’s costing up to $150.

Sell the rest and get a good mid tier headphone instead, like the sundara or edition XS open box

If you looking for some sound quality improvement, then definitely not. It depends on what you want from the chain. I don't have much free space on the desktop table, so I decided to go all in for B-stock Element III. It has everything I wanted for simple use with a laptop and connecting my headphones to it, user experience is great, have zero complaints about it
