Considering neither thread will have enough posters individually here, I'm baking the two generals into one for the first time in many years.

>>5486 (OP)Happy with my HD58X right now, but wish the imaging was better. The Sennheiser three blob soundstage is real. Any sidegrades with better soundstage?

>>5638There are no upgrades that would meaningfully impact sound in a way that EQ cannot replicate. If you just care about the looks then you can get any cheap POS from the OP pasta and EQ them too.
>>5650AKG K612 has pretty much the most airy soundstage in that price range. Alternatively Hifiman Edition XS if you're willing to spend a bit more.

Now that we're out of that fucking cesspit 4cuck was, we can say it loud that it was fucking awful and cucked beyond scale. That said, the /iemg/ heritage originated there - and we need some schizos to make the bread active.
>Chuzo
He was hilarious and spawned many memes. Retardation at its best. A living legend.
>Fox Russki
His foxposting got boring after a while, but wasn't bad at all.
>Taint
Never EVER let that shill here.
>Rat
Controversial figure, but not bad per se. Made threads more active, that's for sure.
>Deafzo (aka CRApzo)
Literal soyjak that worships soyence. Total Deafzo death.
>TOTLzo

>Flangebros

editor here
its been a mess and a half, especially during the first two days
seems like everything has stabilized so we can try and move forward
if 4** is gone 4ever, then we need to find refuge somewhere. there are currently two semi-active /iemg/ threads around. one here on sharty, the other on 8**.moe. the gazette has been updated to reflect the current situation. there is a survey to determine which imageboard is preferable for long term use (or use it to voice your thoughts who cares at this point) and a list of concurrent /iemg/ threads
if 4** comes back, i will still monitor every thread that is ongoing for the rest of the month on the day that 4** is restored, after which i will stop
so yeah, sit back and enjoy the change, seems like there is decent activity in both instances

№8137[Quote]
In ear buds infect your ear when you workout and sweat. Not that 80 percent of zoomers will do.
it's better to use bone conductor headsets when working out so your ears can breath. you can actually grow tiny mushrooms inside your ear. fungi loves that dank hole in your head. if your ears are always itching, you have a fucking ear infection and need to go see a ENT. over time it can cause a bone infection and you will lose your hearing and possible death or brain rot

I’ve been trying to find a headset for work. I often have meetings that run for hours at a time, and every headset I’ve tried ends up being uncomfortable after a while. I had a on-ear set that ended up hurting from the pressure against my ears, and I tried a closed-over ear set but the band hurts the top of my head. I’m thinking that my best option would then be IEMs but I don’t want to fuck up my ears from having them jammed in all day. Should I just kms?

Currently have an SMSL D6S DAC and an SMSL H300 amp. My friend wants to get into """hifi""" so I'm considering buying an xDuoo TA-32 and giving him my raisin. Quite curious about the tubes. I'm really not too sure about not having I2S just in case though. I don't use IEMs at home much but I also think this amp would be a bit noisy for IEMs. Suppose upgrading the tubes would fix that? I also can't tell why they'd have balanced XLR inputs. I suppose for a phono amp that has a balanced output perhaps?

Reminder that the Harman target, also (aptly) known as the Shartman target, was not specifically made with female vocals in mind. There's a reason male vocals are so subdued, thinned out and lacking the necessary heft in Shartman-tuned pos. There are ways to make female vocals really shine without emasculating male vocals in such way, so why?
The real aim of the Shartman target was to enhance vocals of troons. It's really simple: troons have unmistakably male voices, but they're trying hard to sound more female and escape what in their twisted minds is stigma and unfortunate fate, but their male vocal cords will always get in the way and reveal who they really are. That's why the Shartman target, which aimed to be another neutral diffuse field but developer further to add room-specific characteristics to the sound, has since strayed from the path of neutrality and, under the guise of being a target preferred by the general population, became a target which makes female vocals sound prominent and bright while performing castration on male vocals. Think of it: it's the logical way to rob tranny vocals from manly heft and emphasize the feminine shine troons try to obtain. The way the Shartman target executes it is with a deep, slightly recessed tuck in the midbass (often called "tranny tuck" here) to take from the depth and weight, while emphasizing 5kHz shrill to add upper harmonics that are much necessary to enhance femininity of vocals. As a result, troon vocals are noticably shifted towards feminine character, fulfilling their desire to mask their inescapable manly heft to a great extent.

editor here
realized i havent really introduced myself
im responsible for the iemgazette, which was started as a way to archive valuable posts, discussions, and measurements that were often swept away by the nature of imageboards
ive also taken charge of hosting of the eq guide written by someone else, a comprehensive guide on eq and factors to consider
now for actual updates
the result of the survey have been released to the public, 8 (8chan) to 4 (sharty). the survey will be left open but i have taken note of where it stands as of now. for now i will continue with updates in both instances, but that might change later on
i have also sorted out the aes project. for any request, contact me with any of the methods found in the gazette.
