    does an Hi Res IEM of 3.5mm need a dedicated DAC even if mobiles support Hi Res , an adapter would be enough right?

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  День тому +2

      A simple adapter will be okay, but a dongle with an additional amplifier chip would help deliver better sound.

      It's priced around ₹2990 at the moment. It uses a single 10mm dynamic driver.

      Yeah, the stock ones are mid. I use the M100 eartips from EPZ. They had sent me some, so I'm not too sure where to get them. 😅 You could get them from Linsoul.
      But for convenience, the Audiocular latex eartips available on concept kart for only ₹249! They're awesome. conceptkart.com/AmazingLatexEartips

    How does the replaceable nozzle affect the sound?

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  День тому

      The thickness of the filter and number of layers will slightly alter the final sound that comes out of it.
      For example, the red nozzle has two filters, one at either ends, which reduce the treble a lot.

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  День тому +1

      Lots of great IEMs in this price. Moondrop Aria 2 - excellent details retrieval, smooth & balanced sound.
      Sennheiser IE 200 - Very accurate and comfortable. Great for critical listening.
      Simgot EW300 - Bright and fun. Lots of bass and good treble. Nice build quality as well.
      For a music player, I think the 4K budget would be a bit too low to do justice to these great IEMs. I would suggest using Apple music lossless on your phone with an external DAC in this price, such as the BLON V1.

      As for my phone, well, I used to use my Galaxy Note 9 for the longest time. I built this entire channel on that phone from recording, editing, and uploading. I didn't even have a proper editing PC until 2022.
      I currently use the Honor Magic4 Pro as my main phone & camera, which was given to me as a review unit back in 2022. It has great cameras. It already looks good as is. I record in 4K60 and apply some basic color corrections.
      My secret is the lighting - it's always the lighting. I have two pro grade lights worth ₹60K given to me by iFootage. They help the videos look crisp.
