      really little but it’s a good start in my opinion, maybe one day I’ll invest in some more quality stuff. Currently I use the DAC of my phone with a pair of Tangzu Wan’er S.G.

      Do you use iem yourself? If yes, what’s your setup?

        Oh yeah I do… depends on which ones I grab. High end (in perception not so much quality) I have a couple sets of Triple driver Westones. The MMCX connector version arey favorite of the Westones . My other pair came with a garbage “dental floss” cable and TT bax connectors, when I complained I was told the metal inside was contamination free or some bullshit. I did not bother pointing out listening to digital music and mp3s reduces the audio quality enough that none of their marketing bullshit is relevant.

        On the other side, KZ have been my go to, because I’m much less upset if I mess up 40.00 IEMs vs 400.00 Westones. I have the AS12 which claim to have 6 drivers in each ear, could be and probably is BS but they sound amazing.

        I’ve also got a bunch of Sennheiser and Shure in ears. Shure is basically like oldstyle Westones but stiffer with the Sennheisers being the smallest and having the smallest visual footprint.

        I use the last two for TV broadcast and the Sennheisers are 100% the way to go visually.

        Lastly I use a set of DCMEKA dual drivers with a FiiO Bluetooth adapter, they too out punch their price point.

        Or I’m old and deaf.

          Ohh you have great IEMs 🤯 And there is me with my 20 dollars pair 😂 But I love them!

          I’ve seen many controversies about the KZ about selling iem with fake drivers, etc…

            No shit it was a 15 dollar pair of Triple drive KZs that made me realize all the Westones were way overpriced for what I got. Trust me, you are getting to enjoy the golden era of chi-fi in-ear monitors they’re amazing and low priced.
