What's something that's not common knowledge but you think everyone should know?
Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!
I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

The cable is the weakest link of Earbuds for durability.
IEM's with replaceable cables are readily available and getting very cheap & good these days (e.g. Moondrop Chu 2, Truthear Hola, etc)
Better yet, you can get Bluetooth ear hooks for both 2-pin and MMCX IEMs, if you ever want to lose the cable. They last longer than airpod types, offer better sound quality, and you can replace them without replacing the IEMs themselves.
I've yet to try these myself but I definitely like the concept. Mostly worried about the weight & comfort, plus large case size (I have the Sony XM5 and love how tiny and pocketable the case is)
I like it a lot.
I have pretty narrow ear canals, so I can't really wear airpods without fear of them flying out while biking. The ear hook design solves that. I misplaced a pair of KZ AZ09s on holiday this summer, but I've since replaced them with a set of Fiio UTWS3.
I have nothing but good things to say. The weight of the Bluetooth hooks negligible, especially because the majority of the weight is resting on your ears. I hardly feel them when I'm use (besides the feeling of the actual IEMs in my ears), and having a button on each ear is really convenient.
The case is on the big side, but it fits well enough in my pockets to not be that big of a deal. The battery in the units are big enough to last for ages, and the battery in the case being an actual big battery means I charge them once a month, at most.
offer better sound quality,
The hisssssesss
Can you recommend the ones that dont have these hisssesss
The UTWS3 hooks I have now are AptX based, and they don't seem to have a noise floor that I can hear in the slightest.
Thanks
Whoa this is interesting. What kind of setup would you suggest for someone that wants: products that have replaceable parts (especially the cable), microphone, sound quality not being the most importantly aspect, being able to use while playing pc games? Seems i should get an iem with a cable that has a Mic, but maybe that's a bad idea
That's not a bad idea if your setup allows for wired buds into a mic-compatible port.
You could look for buds with a mic cable or, of course you could just replace the cable with one with a mic.
Would you happen to have any product recommendations? I'm new to IEMs and kind nof don't know where to look, and which brands are decent. I appreciate any info you provide!
there's a chu 2? I love must chu should i getta the 2
2 is a lil bassier, perhaps slightly too bassy for my taste but still great.
Still just as comfortable as the original and the new cable is much nicer
sweet, light Havel to grab them. Still $20?
Yea like $26 Canadian, great value.
I work retail and usually rec my customers don't buy the cheap bullshit we have and buy those instead
