Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend?
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days agoIn my case, It was the shape of the enclosure that caused me discomfort, not the tips. I have tried pretty much all of the meme IEMs, most of them didn’t work well for me, but I can still say that they sounded quite good for the price. Comfort is king when it comes any sort of headphone for me though. I usually prefer larger over ear headphones except when I am traveling. Right not my Etymotics are my go to IEMs.

What is a “meme IEM”?
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days ago
There was a string of IEMs, almost all of them Chinese brands like KZT, that were all lauded as “sounds better than $500 IEMs, only cost $10!!!” that were way over hyped for a while. And I bought many/most of them because they were so cheap and then usually gave them away because they were not the magic thing the hype insisted.

I mean I’m not an “audiophile” and I found these to be a good combination of inexpensive, comfortable, and decent sound.
But I also haven’t owned 1000 pairs of headphones so maybe I’m missing out.

As I said, they sounded decent, very decent for the price, I just found them uncomfortable. Headphones don’t need to be expensive to be good.
