  • It says headphones, but they are actually earphones

    I can’t for the life of me to find a frequency response graph. I can’t recommend buying anything without a measurement since you would be buying blind

    Here is how you should look for earphones:

    1. Buy something with a replaceable cable so it lasts longer. The cable usually breaks first and it’s the cheapest part.

    2. You can buy DSP earphones with a replaceable cable, but I haven’t found anything cheap that sounds as good as the 3.5mm connection (which means the DSP sucks). So buy a dongle separately, like the Apple one or something of similar quality

    3. Find the frequency response graph. You can see how your current equipment graphs and compare. You can even use an equalizer (in software) to adjust to what you’re buying

    If you want my suggestion, buy CCA Trio and the Apple dongle. Although maybe it’s expensive after tariffs, lol

    KZ Castor for a cheaper option




  • It’s basically just his opinion. He started three biggest database of measurements, but he’s not going them anymore so other reviewers have replaced him

    Also I have heard the DSP version doesn’t have the best sound quality. I have another cheap pair of DSP IEMs and they sound better with 3.5mm (DSP adds ringing and noise artifacts)

    I bought a standalone $13 USB DAC and it sounds perfect to me
