Reply to I've done an oof trying to clean my Chus. by Hieri_Sato

You could try getting them out with a toothpick, SIM card needle or any other small object, do it sideways though so nothing else falls in.

And yes you'll probably need to get a new pair of filters now (unless u can clean the current piece of filter without damaging the glue and stick it back on)

Reply to Tips for getting the best out of the iem experience by Heryx11

  1. U/blargh4 already gave a good answer that I don't really think there's much to add to it

  2. It depends on your ear shape honestly, the right side of my Dioko's with the stock tips didn't fit well in my right ear but after switching to the Spinfit W1 which is made of a slightly softer silicone and could contort to my ear shape I did manage to get a good fit. Generally foam tips cut off some of the treble frequencies and last shorter than silicone tips (because well, they're memory foam) so people generally recommend silicone tips over foam. As for the xelastec the general consensus is that it's very grippy and the silicone is quite soft, some have reported that it could memory over time and retain it's "squeezed" shape when it's in your ear despite being pulled out but I don't have any personal experience with the Xelastecs so take this with a grain of salt.

  3. I don't know what the amping capabilities of the Redmi Note 10 is like but my Dioko's has it's subbass halved with it's soundstage completely taken away if I try playing it off of my Poco F1's jack, I think it would be instantly obvious if a dongle is required or not when you listen to your set for the first time

Reply to comment by TheMisterTango in What does it mean to properly “power” a headphone? by soldkeyboard57

My Diokos when plugged into my phone sounds like it has half the subbass it should've had as well as not having the same sense of airyness or soundstage I get when plugged into my moondrop dawn dongle. Sure it is at an listenable volume when plugged into my phone but my Chus literally sound better than the Diokos without the DAC dongle

Granted my phone is a 2018 Xiaomi so the hardware certainly isn't the best, but I'd recommend OP to go to a local audio shop and try out how does his headphones sound like with an amp first, if it still sounds the same to him then his source is good enough

All you'll hear are anime waifus ASMR,buy them if you're into that kind of stuff

Jokes aside depends on what specific brand or model you are buying tho, Sony buds are mostly decent enough
