"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"The stock tips are good, and imo comfy out of the box which is rare for me as I have picky ears. ... I can wear these for long sessions without feeling the urge to “let my ears breathe” like I get with other sets."
"the MagicOne is the first completely unvented IEM I've tried where it hasn't bothered me, and the pressure seems to equalise out fairly quickly."
"The chassis of the Odyssey fits snugly onto my ears concha with no pointy edges poking or any surface that would create a hotspot on my outer ears."

"But once I have them in my ears, I cannot hear anyone speak to me."
"If you don’t mind the deep insertion fit these have top tier isolation ... I can kill airplane noise on a flight while sitting right next to the engine. ... ANC cant hold a candle to these."
"if you turn the Minis up even a little above low volume, they are great at blocking outside noises."

"had problems with shitty sound from day 1. ... Always lacking bass and having harsh/pronounced highs."
"personally I don't like this speaker because i have tried others and this speaker just can't compete with them in terms of loudness and bass and this matters more to me than clarity. ... Loudness and bass is far better in harmony mini and its just slightly behind in terms of clarity from xsound go. ... Once u listen to harmony mini u cannot listen to xsound go."
"The little Tribit cannot do real bass ... grab a bigger speaker when I want to thump some bass."

"After about an hour my inner ear will get fatigued"
Here's a graph of the [IE100 Pro and Blessing 3 from Earphones Archive (5128 Measurement)](https://earphonesarchive.squig.link/?share=JM-1_(5128)_Target,Sennheiser_IE100_Pro,Moondrop_Blessing3). IE100 Pro looks to have pretty recessed upper mids and elevated bass/treble relative to the mid range, so being v-shaped tracks. If you hear the IE100 Pro has less bass than the Blessing 3, there may be something wrong with your setup or seal. Actually the first time I've heard Hexa described as muddy. Usually people describe them as lean, neutral, or even bright. Do you mean the bass quality is not that good or something?
r/iems • Iem recommendation for video editing? ->Sennheiser HD25 with Yaxi comfort pads for mixing and Sennheiser IE 100 Pro for booming/utility with the silicone ear tip, the foam ear tip doesn't handle sweat well.
r/LocationSound • What headphones are you using on set as a production sound mixer ? ->Sennheiser ie100 cheap but get the job done and very sturdy
r/Bass • In-Ear Monitoring headphones ->If you're serious about monitoring, go for something from someone like sennheiser or Shure. The senny IE 100 pro aren't really a great IEM for music, but they're nice and flat. They're also fairly cheap, so you don't really have to feel bad dedicating them to one job
r/iems • Iem recommendation for video editing? ->The IE 100 is absolutely not v shaped lmao, it's slightly higher on the high end but it is not v-shaped. Are you sure you're talking about the IE *100* pro?
r/iems • Iem recommendation for video editing? ->There's absolutely no way you can say the IE 100 pro has cranked bass, it's absolutely gutless. They have less bass than my blessing 3s, an IEM which the number one complaint is that they lack bass
r/iems • Iem recommendation for video editing? ->Moondrop do tend to be more flat than others, but they aren't really neutral. If you aren't doing high end monitoring or professional work you'll probably be fine tbh. I used IE 100s for a while as my do everything IEMs and they weren't great for gaming. If it's only one pair you're getting, get something a bit more fun, just try to listen to whatever you're producing on as many different devices as you can to get an idea for what it actually sounds like.
r/iems • Iem recommendation for video editing? ->Yeah, being perfect honest my IE 100 pros are my comfiest IEMs, I don't have too many to compare to tho
r/iems • What kind of black magic is this?! ->I used Sennheiser 100 Pros for a good long while. I found them to be a step above the usual over ear headphones, but eventually went back to the over ears because they are wireless and I play more casually nowadays. The 100’s definitely weren’t cream of the crop, since they are entry level IE’s at entry level pricing. I was satisfied for the duration I used them.
r/EscapefromTarkov • What IEMs do you use guys for Tarkov? Any advices? [Discussion] ->I have the Sennheiser IE 100 Pros and they sound clear and balanced. They cost around $100. After about an hour my inner ear will get fatigued but I am not sure if that is a normal thing for IEMs since this is the only set I have ever owned.
r/Bass • In-ear monitors ->If you can spend a hundred bucks, there are several options for in-ear monitors with 30+ dB noise isolation. Sennheiser IE100 and Shure SE215 are pretty common, but there are cheaper options as well.
r/drums • Cheap noise isolating headphones that are comfortable? ->Rated for 26 dB passive noise reduction, yes.
r/drums • Cheap noise isolating headphones that are comfortable? ->I've had them and they're not bad, but I was unable to find replacement foam tips which kind of sucked. The Shure SE215 are pretty equivalent, but also easy to find replacement tips.
r/drums • Cheap noise isolating headphones that are comfortable? ->Sennheiser IE100pro, light, comfortable, durable, good enough to not feel like I compromise too much and cheap enough to be a "beater" headphone.
r/headphones • What's your go to IEM for your work commute? ->If you want real good, like really good headphones (at least in my opinion and everybody that tried them in my Presence) for not so expensive, you should consider the Sennheiser IE 100 Pro. They are really balanced in sound, comfortable for long hours due to pressure valves (or at least something, that has the same effect) but while being balanced the bass reaches reaaaally deep. Not loud but deep. Even the Sennheiser Momentum 4 could not quite match them.
r/me_irl • Me_irl ->Our whole band uses IE100 for in ears. I also bought them but had problems with shitty sound from day 1. Always lacking bass and having harsh/pronounced highs. I then bought IE200 cuz I thought that they will be better then 100’s. Well not really. A bit more bassy but still lacking bass and having the same highs. And once again - those iem’s are built for special task called IN EAR MONITORING. They have pronounced trebles so instument players hear themselfs on a loud stage (except bass players). But I am not sure why are they built in that way that they lack bass. Probably to eliminate the muddines of bad in ear mixes. Either way… IE series of IEM’s are not good for listening to music / quite the opposite, they sound shitty. Period.
r/iems • Alternative IEMs for someone who uses the AirPods Pro 2 daily ->Had chu 2 (shitty) kz zs 10 & 12 pro x (shitty) sennheiser ie 100/200 (not great) and aful explorer (very nice).
r/iems • Suggest me a good bass-heavy IEM around $100 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
