I'm sorry. I honestly felt the same way the first week. After that they don't hurt unless I use them for more than 4hrs nonstop.

Truthear zeros are basically Harman target and I personally love them. Of course they do have the usual IEM weakness with accurate but not impactful bass. Outside of that best $50 you can spend in my opinion.

Pain is temporary, good sound is forever.

I thought all he did was agree to a branding deal if they made them conform to the Harman curve? Did I misunderstand what he said in that video?

I'm not a fanboy so if he claimed to do more than that then he's got to substantiate that.

Doesn't invalidate any of his data for headphones or IEMs and that's all I use him for. Just another source to collate.

What the heck is this technical ability you're talking about?

500MW!? I assume you mean 500mW? Otherwise OP gonna need a nuclear powered Amp to drive those.

Both hilarious and terrifying at the same time. That's some talent.
