I bought a lot of IEMs so you don't have to

I wasn't impressed with the quality of budget IEM reviews online. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. Will order next lot of the products 1.5K - 3K Priced ones if I can genuinely help people. More than 40 IEMs will be tested to answer one question - what you should buy under INR1.5K...

I am from Audio With Argha

And here to first report on Red lion Is ded.

I have used it for almost two months, and now the right side of the IEM is not working. 🤞 I switched to the Tangzu Waner SG 1 Right IEM instead. It seems there was a sensitivity issue, I don't know what happened, but it suddenly stopped working.

No more IEMs for me

I have been eyeing to buy my first IEM for the last few months and decided to go with Red Lion and after waiting for a month they got a price hike and at same time faced a shortage of funds so I didn't buy.

Then i thought zero 2 is a better choice now as it has wider soundstage n imaging which will be better for Valorant but even they were out of stock.

And now they are both in stock and i have enough money but there is no point now in buying any because from the last few days my ears are ringing constantly and it gets worse after i use earphones.

I researched about it and found out its called Tinnitus and there isn't any cure, for some it stays for few months and for some it stays for more than 10yrs

The only thing you can do is ditch earphones completely, don't take stress n get better sleep and see if that makes it better. So no more earphones/iems for me now 🥲

For all the fellow listeners out there take breaks for 10-15 min every 1-2 hrs and let your ears rest, also don't listen on high volume for long duration so you don't have to face this

And hope it will get better and i can enter this hobby too ✨

Should I purchase DAC

I subscribed to Apple Music today on my Android phone (Poco F7). I own a pair of Apple EarPods (3.5mm), and I am using a Type-C connector to use them; however, I am not getting the same sound quality that I experienced on an iPhone using the Type-C EarPods. Will I need to purchase a DAC to achieve sound quality comparable to that of an iPhone?

Using Smaller ear tips

Is it okay, if i use Smaller ear tips, the big one feels uncomfortable. As people have mentioned the seal should be airtight, what might I lose with this setup?

Iems are GK Kunten.

Anyone noticed this ?

So basically I was checking the Headphone zone to see if the SnowSky Disc has become available to order now and I found that they have increased the price of the Disc. (officially Fiio hasn't increased the price of any SnowSky product yet so I don't know why headphone zone increased the listed price). What is your thoughts in this ? I think maybe they did this to sell Echo (not mini) as the Echo is freaking 1.5k more expensive than the Echo mini.

Apple Dongle as a DAC ?

Hi guys, ik yall are fed up with Tangzu Red lion posts but I have recently ordered one and confused about a DAC to pair it up with, Im new to this audiophile journey and any advice will be appreciated. Im fairly newbie so i dont much about EQ, app support for dacs and all so itd be a great help!

Shortlisted these DACs

  1. Apple dongle : (0.5V) EU version cus they sell EU version in India and Im into apple ecosystem (iphone and Macbook) so was wondering if this is a good choice considering Red lions have low impedance.

2)Jcally JM12 : Cheap and heard everyone recommending it

3)FiiO JA11: Out of stock rn on all sites so i dont think this will be considered as an option rn my pair prolly will be delivered in a week so should i wait for a restock.

  1. A local converter: Cheap (i spent most of my budget on the IEMs) heard many youtubers say that apple and mac has inbuilt dacs which are fairly good so you wouldnt notice much difference conpared to an actual DAC.

Help!!

So have been using this (kz zst x) iems for almost 2 or 3 years and around 1 year ago I discovered this gooey stuff comping from the right ear piece. I clean those time to time with alcohol wipes but they still come back. Does anyone know what is this stuff and why this comes?

Cable suggestion

I've been using the Tanchjim Bunny for the past couple of months and wanna try out some other cables. It would great if you guys could recommend some good quality Type C Cable with Mic. My budget is around 2k.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Audio quality feels worse after upgrading phone + Spotify lossless… why?

So I’m a bit confused and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Earlier, I was using a Nothing Phone (1) with Spotify (non-lossless plan), paired with my Tangzu Wan’er IEMs through a DAC. The audio quality was actually really good.

Recently, I upgraded to a OnePlus Nord 5 and also switched to Spotify’s lossless plan. I’m still using the same IEMs and DAC, but somehow the sound quality feels worse than before.

I honestly expected an upgrade in sound, not a downgrade. It feels less clear and not as enjoyable as it used to be.

I’m not sure if this is due to the phone, Spotify settings, DAC compatibility, or something else entirely.

Has anyone faced something similar or knows what might be causing this?

Suggestions for IEM in the range upto 2.5k

Need suggestions to buy IEM earphones. I am thinking to buy Tangzu Red Lion as i heard they sound good. Are there any other IEM's better than these? Also, if anyone have compared Tangzu Red Lion IEM to the Realme Buds 2 wired earphones could you please provide a comparison feedback between them as I think Readme Buds 2 wired one also sound great!! Thank You!

Moondrop Aria 2. Worth it?

I have ordered the Aria 2s after extensive research. And the closest contender to Aria 2 was Kfine Klean SV. I have previously owned Tangzu Wan'er SG 1, KZ EDX Pro X, and Moondrop Chu 2. I have sold all of them. I have had trouble with all of them, hence I am now going for the tank like build IEM.
