RikudouGoku's Database (IEMs/Earbuds/Headphones Ranking list)

2021-05-18: I have decided to team up with @paulwasabii on the cable ranking page in my database.

Why? Because the more cables that are in that ranking page, the better it is for you consumers. Paul´s own measurements are essentially identical to mine, so thats not a problem and the reason why I picked him over someone else is because I respect him a lot (which I cannot say the same for the majority of so called “reviewers” out there…).
(and also because literally every other cable “reviewers” out there dont actually measure them…, so to be fair, there wasnt a lot of options for me lol.)

How will this change the cable ranking page?


Well, not really that big of a change. There is a new column called “Measurer” (yeah, bad name probably…) so you be able to identify who measured the cable and also who has it by implication. Thats the only change thats coming, of course Paul might have his own way of writing the “Comments” column. But this shouldnt change what I want this page to be about, which is to be as objective as you can be with cables by using measurements. Then letting the buyer decide what to get based on their own personal preference when it comes to the aesthetics.

You can perhaps change Measurer to Measured by if you don’t like the former

Dunu Falcon Pro, seems to be a single DD that will use the ECLIPSE tech from the Zen.

@Rikudou_Goku I was thinking of spending a couple bucks on earphones…
And what would you recommend as a starter for those melodic metal genres?
I was thinking something warm yet not bassy tbh.
I guess it is between the X6 RW9 and DIY MX500 and my choice would probably be the diy MX500, but i am not entirely sure…

Ditch the RW-9 for the X6 IMO. The RW-9 is more V-shaped and also a bit more bloated/looser bass than the X6.

But I think you would want something with cleaner bass than the X6 (imagine the X6 to be the blon 03 of the bud world), which would mean that the MX500 will suit it better.

NIce, I thought so but wasnt quite sure.
Thank you.

Smabat Super One and M2S Pro on the way.

Going to be a bud party over here soon with 4 (mid/high-tier) buds on the way lol.

You listen more buds or iem?

Well, not too long ago It was like 70% iem, 25 % bud and 5% headphones.

Now, its closer to 55% iem, 44% bud and 1 % headphones.

Very interesting, I thought buds are thing of 90’s :slight_smile:

Oh boy, dont underestimate them. I blame the Yincrow X6 and the Moondrop Chaconne for me falling deeper into that hole…

2021-05-21: Birth of my graph database: https://rg.squig.link/


Yup, here it is. I have officially joined the “cool kids club” with my own graph database site with 100 measurements (counting all iems + different configurations) alongside my own preference target.

Credits to @LGC for giving me the idea to use excel to create my target and @Precogvision for helping me import it into REW.
Last but not least, massive thanks to Super reviews on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SuperReview, for helping me setup this entire site.

I am as well, just ordered an another pair of fucking eartips, and they are from Final Audio xD

Nice work! It does seem like not all measurements are on the same scale (as in average db), looking at the FH3 and FD5. To me it seems like FH3 should be 3-4 db higher overall, though I have no idea how this stuff works so I could be wrong.

Still not really sure how to tell from a graph like this what shape the FR of an IEM is. To me the FH3 seems more V-shaped than the FD5, and the FH3 doesn’t look like an L to me at all :thinking:.
