Pencil #sketch of some #iems for #TinyArtTuesday

The real iems are about 2cm while the drawings are roughly 3cm each.

Fun fact: Recently I discovered I have the cable ends plugged into the wrong monitor. So for the last 2 years if not more, left was right and right was left...

I just thought that wasn't possible so I never even checked. Assumed it was some setting in my OS I had misconfigured.

Either way, I'm leaving them like that on porpuse now.

My moondrop aria 2 feels more like an upgrade to truthear hola rather than moondrop chu 2.

I'm happy regardless. Very happy.

Moondrop chu 2 is amazing

Having a bosom pocket for a music player is wonderful. I can route the hearbuds cable into the shirt then out through the top so it doesn't get tangled and yanked on everything. And, if you see me playing with my nipple it's because... I am. I can also reach the controls easily enough by reaching inside the pocket.

I'm really thinking of buying these together with a portable DAC AMP. I have read lots of great reviews for a IEM that costs less than 320 euros.

At the same time, I'm getting tired of bluetooth earphones/headphones and their endless list of tradeoffs. Noise cancelling vs frequency response vs audio reprodution accuracy. It's all very tiring and anxiety-inducing, because you're always afraid of spending lots of money on something that you will eventually regret buying.

At least with a decent pair of IEMs like these, you can get the best of these three factors. Whenever you need a microphone, you can always use something like the AirPods Pro 2/3.
