"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."

"I also have to say it has an impressive soundstage, I was watching something the other night and it felt like the sound was coming from another whole speaker to the left or right, like literally away from the bar."
"The soundstage is impressively wide, I've had times it felt there were speakers beyond the bar (not behind but to the sides, & keep in mind I'm not using Atmos at all, just basic optical port)."
"Q symphony is amazing. ... With the first two bars, you could clearly tell the sound was coming from below the TV… q symphony fixes that completely."

"Once you get them to the proper depth in your ear they come alive with tons of bass. ... Makes a huge difference! This is a great set if you get the fit right."
"love the bassy but not overwhelmingly so (unlike 7hz Zero 2) tuning."
"it has slightly more emphasized bass than the Studio4, but it is well-controlled and will add some additional energy and dynamics to OST tracks with electronic and percussive instruments."

"It's got good bass impact, clean mids, and airy treble that doesn't cross over into sibilance."

"It's the first head/earphones that i own to not tire my ears in busy songs, especially with more trebbles. ... im average height and s12 are already perfect size & fit. ... They are definitely my favourite go-to earphones now and i barely feel them in my ears even eith largest foamtips. ... İ may actually prefer them over my ath-msr7b's at the moment."
"My feet don’t hurt in them ... they’re comfortable ... I know the biggest thing I don’t have to worry about are my shoes and whether my feet will be killing me half way through, because I know they won’t be."

"they lack resolution and imaging for my taste. ... Very meh sound. ... It sounds muffled and narrow ... there is not much instrument separation or resolution. ... o Red tem mais graves e subgraves do q o D13 inclusive mas falta definição e recorte ... o som dele não entrega nada que impressiona na minha opinião ... o som abafado e gravudo do Red. ... o Zero Red não entrega tanta definição pelo preço ... não é um som ruim mas fica pra trás com tranquilidade."
"Raycon Everyday have an absolutely disgusting V-shaped FR, you can barely hear anything besides bass."

"The bass is slow and sludgy on the Cadenza. ... They can't keep up with faster tracks. ... If you're listening to metal, prog, acid jazz, etc... then you may have some issues with that. ... Fast, heavyhitting techno? Not with these."
"I personally felt the bass was pretty anemic on it and I'm not a bass-head. ... Less bass than the ER2xr, Blessing 2, Blessing 2 Dusk, IE 200 etc. ... Very thin sounding. ... They have less bass than the Moondrop Blessing 2. ... They have less bass than the Etymotic ER2xr. ... They have less bass than the Sennheiser IE200. ... Just not enough bass and I"m no bass-head."
"The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent."

"Overall presentation is not coherent. ... The recessed mids and piezoelectric treble timbre is very much audible. ... I agree with the muddied mid thing. For example, at the start of suzume theme song, its incredible but when many instruments start to play altogether, it seems to lose clarity."
"The IE 900 is massively underwhelming at best, and IMO isn’t even in the same league as the Glacier. ... There is absolutely no technical aspect that the Glacier doesn’t absolutely trounce the the IE 900 at (Soundstage, instrument separation, resolution, imaging)"
"more problematically, it gets quite muddled in the midrange. ... don't have problems with instrument separation like the EW300 does. ... The main distorted guitar parts just turn to mush."

"when it came to hearing details, they sound like mud compared to the Blessing 2."

"the sound is more muffled."
Is the soundstage better than the Hola? My left Hola earbud got damaged, so I'm considering buying a new one. So far, I've only tried the Castor. While it was good, it lacked the soundstage of the Hola.
r/iems • Got a new FiiO JD1 type-C ->I had Truthear Holas and loved em!!! Nearly cried when they broke. I wish they made good budget bluetooth IEMs.
r/IndiaTech • What are your views on IEMs? Do you think they are better for daily music consumption than regular earbuds or wired earphones? ->For real, unfortunately my truthear holas are busted, they lasted a good few years though. Have some space travel 2s currently but will probably get more iems soon along with a Bluetooth dac amp
r/linux_gaming • How are you doing speakers? ->With Mic? Can you explain the mic connected to the earbud combo or standalone IEM's? Standalone IEMs, my vote is Truth Ear.
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Best gaming earbuds for Xbox Series X? (With mic included) ->Havent heard but was also interested in them awhile ago. Though heard it went thru a silent revision not too long ago and it is no longer a bassy set. I also looked for a basshead set and got something else. It has quite mixed reviews but I still deeply love my 7hz Legato. Got it over 1.5 years ago for around $65. For reference, all the sets Ive heard: TE Nova, TE zero, Letshouer S12 Pro, 7hz Legato, Artti R1, Tangzu Fudu, Kz Pr1 Pro. Used to own the Tangzu Waner and TE Hola, but gave them away. If you really wanted bass, cant go wrong with Legato. Artti R1 is still quite warm and bassy whilst still being more detailed and balanced if you dont want to lose much detail.
r/iems • Thoughts on Juzear Clear ->When I'm at home and playing games on my handhelds or doing chores around the house, I'm still partial to my Moondrop Aria from back in 2021. I use it with Moondrop's Spring Tips and a Tripowin Zonie for the cable, since I wasn't a big fan of the default cable. They're comfortable and sound great, why fix something that's not broken? I'll likely replace this with the Truthear Hexa when it eventually does break. When I'm outside/commuting or gaming on my PC at home, I'll usually carry my Tangzu Wan'er 2. The Truthear Hola was my favourite for this one, but mine broke, they discontinued it and I'm not really a fan of the Truthear Gate's sound signature personally, so I figured I'd try something different in the name of science. This one has a mic (since I use it for work calls and gaming), and I use the Spinfit CP240 double-flanged tips on them for maximum noise isolation. I don't plan on wearing them for an extended period of time, so the tips being extra intrusive for limited durations is okay. They are also really cheap, just 2k rupees, so I wouldn't feel terrible if I lost them outside or they broke from daily use. Bonus: for extended WFH sessions (assuming I don't need to make a work call) and listening critically to music at home, I use headphones actually, my Sennheiser HD600. They are really comfortable and make you forget you're wearing them, and they are incredibly neutral. Of course, they cost 23k rupees and aren't IEMs, so not relevant to your question, but thought it would be interesting to mention it as a frame of reference.
r/IndianGaming • Are IEMS a good buy? ->Dang, I had no idea they're discontinued now. Makes me glad that I have 3 pairs of them lmao. For context I bought a pair to replace my Moondrop Chus bc the cable kept breaking and I kept having to solder them. After a plane trip, I came back and noticed one of the earbuds was missing from the cable, and I thought I had lost it on the plane, so I ordered another pair. Turns out the missing earbuds was somehow under the microwave so I had an extra pair. I also got a pair for my dad at some point, but he didn't really end up using them so they're just sitting around as well. I honestly kinda regretted not buying another earbud to try out, but now that the Holas are discontinued I'm kinda glad I have a few. They're basically flawless. Compared to the Chus, the cable is a lot better and also they don't fall out my ears when I move. The Chu IIs have a detachable cable now but they still seem very heavy.
r/iems • Looking for replacement of my truthear Hola ->I'm fairly new to this territory. First I bought a truthhear hola and it's too flat and horribly big then I got kz Zsn pro x Pretty good and kind of liked it but I need a little more bass. I recently bought a shanling m1 plus and wanna pair something to it. Current options : 1.7h legato. 2.InAwaken Dawn Ms. 3.simgot ew300 hbb. 4.simgot ew300 standard. Are there any better options? or which one should I choose bw these? I get my IEMs from: Headphones zone Or Concept kart India🇮🇳
r/iems • Iem advice ->The Truthear Hola and maybe some other models have a reputation on audio forums as a budget banger. I have a pair and can confirm.
r/Bass • What IEMs are ya'll using? Looking for recommendations. ->I'd say the Defiant. It's $80. It sounds incredibly good for the price. And from what I've seen I don't think it'll go cheaper than that on the used market. But I could see it, time and time again, beating IEMs that cost much more. I also think the Studio4 will continue to be good even years down the line. But I really love the Studio4. While unrelated yet still related, your comment reminds me of when I recently (last week) got the Truthear Hola. Damn, it genuinely makes me sad we can't get this sort of sound and IEM. It's a truly unique sound and it was insane this was once $20.
r/iems • Which modern iem possesses a long term value in the future? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
