I really like these for when I want a simple pair of in-ears and don't need anything fancy, but they just do not stay in my ears properly.

Reply to Why do DSD files sound better than flac? by Dani3L_1917

I don't have the technical knowhow to describe why it sounds better but in my limited experience DSD sounds more like analog than PCM. I love it but it's impractical.

I've had the same experience and honestly balanced didn't improve things.

Reply to comment by DanforthJesus in HIFIMAN Sundara + Fiio K7 - My recent introduction to planars has 100% lived up to the hype by DanforthJesus

I'd read about speed in headphones and never had any idea what it meant until I heard Sundaras and now I think I prefer planars to dynamics. The K7 looks good too!

Reply to comment by a_lasagna_hog in I do use Spotify more nowadays by UnnecessaryMovements

It's audio that's compressed without losing any information. It's compressed to take up less storage and bandwidth but doesn't lose any quality in order to achieve that.

You can buy and download FLACs from places like Bandcamp, Qobuz download store or HDTracks, as examples.
