What did you buy today? (Part 1)

A bit surprised by a Sunday delivery

First impression they really do sound rather close to the Emu Teaks. A bit smaller soundstage, and maybe a bit more bass.

Oh hell yeah I am enjoying music more with these on, and man the comfort from the ear hooks to these are a huge improvement. Best cheap headphones that I have ever owned right now and a bit sad since I have been using these more than my other headphones lol.

How about LOFI or streetwalker. You do it but would not bring around your friends.

Not quite the endgame point, needs mmcx/2 pin modded :wink:

This little thing cleared my noisy USB signal nicely. It really does seem that the center image improved, also stage.

So, I bought Brainwavz angled pads from their website… two months ago. One month ago, they told me they had just shipped… from Hong Kong. Not received yet. If you want pads fast, just don’t bother with Brainwavz.

Meanwhile, I bought these thicc no-name pads, prime shipped from Amazon Canada. These are never going off my Nad HP50s (unless the brainwavz are better – if I ever receive em…). Original, rectangle pads are useless, lol.

All those iFi stuff seem like shady audiophile snake oil, but from all sources I know, they actually work very well. :laughing:

Because who doesn’t like their equipment getting pulled off the table by an excessively large power cord? What did you get that T H I C C boi for anyway?

Just received ifi IEMatch 2.5mm. I want to try use it with my Zen DAC at my office setup and it seems to work really well. I think now I can use more of my IEMs on my desktop amps. My only complain is the high to ultra switch. It doesn’t feel that good. It is soft and sometimes it stucks in the middle.
