Music and especially everything audiophile related. I got so many CDs at home, all ripped to .flac, and all of it is on my android Sony Walkman that I carry with me 24/7. Nothing beats listening to your favorite album through a pair of 1000$ earbuds while laying in bed, working or taking the bus.
What ear buds are those, at that price? Hope you don't mind sharing.
Of course not! They're the ThieAudio Monarch Mk II, absolutely amazing pair of IEMs.
Holy... They do look super professional and audiophile-y. What qualities to they have that warrant this price point? Super low interference, etc?
Well, a lot of things really. IEMs are different to regular earbuds in the way that instead of one speaker in the shell that does all the work, there are several smaller ones that are tuned to a specific frequency of the audio spectrum, which means that the audio engineers that make these can focus on making each of the smaller speakers sound good in their specific range instead of trying to make a single one sound good over the entire audio range.
What I love about these specific pair of IEMs is that they got a pretty great soundstage for being earbuds, and they are absolute beasts when it comes to clarity. The buds are super well balanced across the entire spectrum, and no part feels bloated or "tinny". That combined with the super great clarity makes it absolutely dreamlike to listen to, being able to hear the "vibrato" of guitar strings as they linger after a chord, or the great bass riffs of songs without having the bass frequency spectrum being obnoxiously loud and bloated. I was completely shellshocked when I first listened to them.
Ah wow, super interesting. I'd love to try and listen to something using those. Very cool regarding the specialized tiny speakers inside there. Just wish I could justify the price... A little bit on the too-expensive side for me. But maybe one day when everything else has been bought and done!
😳
Sweet, though! I'm too cheap and my ears too wrecked to be too much of an audiophile lol. I do have a bunch of decent vintage gear, CDs, records, 4-tracks, and some cassettes.
