"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 have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"Absolutely insane imaging. I can point exactly where each sound comes from: left, right, front, or even a bit behind."
"The soundstage feels genuinely wide — about 4 to 5 meters in perception, which is something rare even among much higher-end gear."

"Noble fokus rex5 best sounding change my mind. ... Five drivers per ear bud game changing for sure ... Yes, you're so right. They are by far number one. ... There may be a few airbuds that get better battery a little bit, better ANC but right now my two cents worth, there's nothing on a planet that sounds better than these. ... I have all the heavy hitters. The techniques 80/100 Sony 4 and 5 sennheisers 3 and 4 and the Devialet gemini II. ... Ronontech on YouTube did a review on the Aviot a few days ago. I belive he liked the Nobels better. ... Also on YouTube, check out Flossie Carter review on the Nobles, he went absolutely nuts. Best sounding wireless earbuds he has ever heard."
"As for gaming I'd probably rank them 1. A50 ... As for music I'd rank them 1. A50 ... And for movies I would rank them 1. A50."
"these fifth generation A50s sound better than anything I’ve ever used. ... New DAC, new Graphene drivers, really nice sounding."

"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. I played Valorant on PS5, xDefiant and Warzone. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"For gaming, these are perfect. ... As a valorant immortal, tier 2 and premier player, I can confidently say that the imaging and soundstage are spot-on. ... Footsteps, directional cues, and in-game sounds are incredibly precise and natural, giving a competitive edge without any unnecessary bass/treble bloat."
"directional audio is amazing can hear all the opponents"

"the fit was terrible for me ... so I returned them"
"I had the same problem and returned them."
"But, notably heavier. ... And man, these being heavy, really makes it hard to keep in the ears. ... I'm finding these are heavy and have a hard time staying in the ear ... I noticed that too. These are the first iem that give me problem with staying in my ears. ... Yea, it's big enough of an issue, that I might resell these. It's frustrating to use them lol ... I never found a set that made them stay perfectly, except for liquid silicone tips, but didn't like the way they sounded ... These are heavy though. Easily double to 2.5x, maybe even 3x the weight of my s12 2024's. TBD on how I feel on that lol."

"el sonido de estos earbuds son un asco ... nunca habia tenido unos earbuds con tan bajo volumen en el audio ... Ni si quiera me sirven para la funcion mas basica, para trabajar (Google Meet, Teams, etc), casi no se escucha nada ... ya lo intente en 4 devices (Quest 3, Android Phone, 2 Laptops) y lo mismo, YouTube, Musica Local, Juegos, Videos, etc en volumen MAXIMO.. y todo se escucha demasiado bajo ... el audio es demasiado bajo, de nada sirve que tenga las otras features si el audio es literal el 5-10% que un earbud normal de los que se compran en el mercado"
"I can confirm this was the case with both my Q950A and 990D. If you're a frequent music listener, you can run two cheap smart plugs to your rears and set up a scene to enable/disable them. ... what I believe is happening is an adjustment is taking place when the soundbar doesn't see the surrounds -- it's as if there's an additional parametric EQ or virtualized surround feature that is disabled when the surrounds aren't available. Which resulted in a more impactful and more cohesive frequency response when listening to music. ... That was my only real complaint with their 900 series sets. A small settings change in the menu, or even some system-wide awareness that allows switching to a different mode specifically for listening to music -- or even older Dolby 2.1 and stereo channel content from any source. ... but not having solid music playback was a tough pill to swallow."
"The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent."

"the Tea Pro are absolutely terrible. ... I couldn't sell them quick enough. ... Utter dogshit & not 10% as good as the Tea 2. ... utter crap with horrific mids, dreadful bass & terrible treble"
"just hurting my hearing"
"They certainly have treble issues ... if OP feels that the Hexa are a bit sharp, he'll feel that with the Tea Pros. I know I did. ... The Tea Pros actually made my ears ring ... if the OP is finding the Hexa sharp, OP'll probably find the Tea Pro a bit fatiguing, too."

"The mids are more natural on the DaVinci, and I love that kind of accuracy, plus I could make out more detail (a good recording displaying guitar string fret rattle or the skipping of a bow across double bass strings) over the Tea Pro."
"I found the mids to be just a little recessed with the Tea Pros."

"my only advice is maybe return the timeless 2(get the shozy p20 for 1/3 of the price with same or better perfomance)"
"Still i would avoid them and go for the 300ish Volume S or Pilgrim so you can actually notice the improvement."
"The 5+2 is a bit of an odd tweener in a world that has the 5 and the 8 already. Not bad by any means, just not as great in terms of value depending on how the prices you can get tend to be. ... I think the price to performance isn’t quite as good as it was on release with how far the Odyssey undercuts it on price, but I also prefer the Performer line, so I‘d rather downgrade to the Performer 5 if I had to save some money."
Doesn't surprise me at all. I've owned multiple Xenns sets in the past - Tea 2 & Up were both fantastic, but I gifted the Tea 2 to my assistant & my Up to my son. I may have to grab these. For overheads that do this music really well, the FiiO FT1 are a BARGAIN. I'm a full on snob with all my gear but these things are phenomenal. Quite similar to the Sony MDR-1ZR, which are 10x the price & WAY WAY WAY better than the Meze 99.
r/iems • Best pick $350 for EDM/Techno? ->If you are willing to spend roughly 300 then I would try the the aful p7. I've heard that they're great for bass and are vshaped. I was torn between them and the mangird teas but I ended up getting the latter cause I found a decent deal on aliexpress. I may even pick up the p7s one day still since I hear lot of great things about them. They are roughly 330 cad on Amazon but if you look on aliexpress then you could prob catch a pair for 300 then you slap a coupon that you find from reddit coupon megathreads and that'll shave the price down to 270. Aliexpress usually doesn't tax you either so you'll also be saving another 70-100 dollars from sales taxes depending on your province. I would have paid 180 in sales tax alone if I got the tea pros off Amazon lmao
r/iems • Bassy, V-Shaped IEM Recommendation? $50-$300 CAD ->1. LCD-2F, especially now I got my tubes, makes them sound magical 2. Thieaudio Monarch Mk3, fatiguing but great sound 3. HD6xx, sound great with tubes and are very comfortable, especially with the Capra strap 4. Audeze Maxwell, just convenient and sounds good 5. Mangird Tea 2's, my go to chill IEM, sound great with metal, no fatigue 6. Harmonicdyne x Zeos Eris, fun weird sound, sometimes too much, sometimes just right
r/headphones • Rank your headphones (2025 edition) ->There is a set available on eBay in the states right now. They are truly wonderful. They were ahead of their time. They take EQ like a boss too. Wide bore tips are the way to go with this set. You don’t want anything in the way. It’s worth the price. I will never let mine go. I’ve been considering a second set just as a backup just incase. I am a huge fan of the original Mangird Tea as well. That was a special iem, also ahead of its time if you ask me.
r/iems • I'm so disappointed with Ziigaat Odyssey ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
