Is it just me or am I the only one who just can't stand IEM. So,I just buy cheap and basic just for exercise

I actually have a ton of 3rd party tips cause my ear canals are really large I guess since I need to use Large and mostly XL tips.
However it’s the same with those as well.
Just really shrill on the top end and a thin top end especially compared to over ear headphones.

Thanks for the try tho man. Appreciate it !

Good luck. You can also get custom molded IEM tips.

Thanks man.

Yeah maybe I’m just one of the unlucky ones who’s ear canals aren’t conducive to IEMs

I did just post something similar in another thread about how IEMs measure as well. And often I see crazy deviations in the measurements from the average freq response.

Here it is below.

I mean I think the oddest thing to me are these extreme deviations in the measurements such as Davinici’s 14khz super peak. No speaker measurement would have that and be considered not glaringly over the top neither would an over ear headphone measurement.

Does that make sense?
It deviates around +10db from its average freq response curve. How would that be ok in any measurement? And it’s Q isn’t small either.
In speakers if you had a peak and Q like that with only 2-3 dbs it would indeed be audible and off kilter for the rest of the freq response. 10db would be ( what were they thinking )
