JAY's audio memes (and reviews/ranking too I guess)

They are the same.

Hmm the stem length seems different

Short stem:

Vs Longer stem:

But to be fair, I purchased from a link that has the pictures of the longer stems, but got tips that were the shorter length.

They should be the same from what I know, havent heard of any changes done to the starline tips except with the clear ones that I believe may be a bit softer.

Hmmm does anyone know the price of the ET142s? :thinking:

Is this price legit? Link’s broken https://www.linsoul.com/products/simgot-et142-1

Sounds like a worse version of the Klean and Delci with less air and less extended vocals. I guess it’s fine since it is $15 cheaper than the Klean… but I’d rather just save up for the Klean at that point - better build, cable, and case as well on top of the sound.

Know the driver config?
They asked me if I wanted one and I just asked for info (they just told me the name…) before I could confirm, got no replies to that lol.
Looks like I dodged a bullet there though based on that graph…

Column Array Symmetrical Magnet Planar
Multi-layered PZT acoustic transducer

:joy: that’s all I got sorry

Sighs…


I guess the magnets on Planars are placed in a column-like shape and they are symmetrical afaik…but…this is like selling a Hamburger and specifying “a bun at the top and bottom”, like duhhhh its how they ALL are!!!

Piezo, either its a single layer (those tends to be used in cheap/low-fidelity stuff like a door bell) or it has multiple ones, again, nothing special…

God the marketing…

Ya hopefully they’ll have the driver size listed when it becomes available for sale lol

likely the same driver as most other planars, if they didnt market it as having dual VC like the S08.
Piezo can also be more clear with how many layers it has.

Yeah, it’s funny how marketing can make such basic details sound like a big deal.The driver size and specifics will tell us more once they drop, hopefully they keep it clear when it’s available!

This only tells me they arent using anything special and they just had to make up something to sound better…

Yeah, it definitely seems like they’re just trying to make it sound more advanced than it is.

i think most people that study engineering would agree this thing doesnt really mean much in this context

Right, this is exactly what happens when marketing team asks engineering department to prepare some nice looking materials quickly :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Colourful FEM analysis of stresses/flows that do not make sense,
  • graphs of polynomial or distribution functions with derivative equations that do not apply,
  • pictures of people in labcoats next to deskbench with some bare wires and oscilloscope :smiley:

Foam/Silicone hybrid tips are underrated af. I use the the Symbio W Silicon+Memory Foam for my Deuce for longer hours and workout too

They are a bit pricey but, EVERY PENNY WORTH!!

Which ones have you tried ?

Ok. that one is actually pretty damn shitty lol.

The good ones are from Sony like the EP-TC50 (comes with the XBA and IER lineup iirc), EP-NI1000 (comes with the WF-100XM4) and the EP-NI1010 (comes with the WF-1000XM5)
