I recently bought the Aria SE and I wanna know which setting provides the intended/better tuning/response!
Since my phone (X7 Max) has "Dolby Atmos" and different settings/profiles within it, I wish to know if I should simply disable it or keep it on and then tweak the EQ (it's only available with DA enabled).

      Hmmm, interesting, my pair of Quarks is definitely worth ~$10 with proper tips😅
      And...I just got a pair(two, actually) of NEX602 because of how shockingly good and easy to drive they are at ~$20 a pair w/o box. They're almost perfect for instrumentals w/o EQ and could also benefit from a strongly mid-forward EQ depending on the vocals and recording/mastering(yes this seems to vary from region to region w/o a universal standard)

        imparanoic, 26 Sep 2022sounds you like KZ sound signature, moondrop is balancedNever used one of them. I mean in general. But yes I like bassy sound. I use Fiio FH3. Very powerful sound.

                  I know that sound signatures can be different but I always boost bass to enjoy it more and to get rid of sharp treble.

                            you get limited freedom and you have to use as it is
                            Yet using an iem is like using Android
                            You get the freedom to make changes according to your choices
                            Which is called "Tuning."

                                  This is the first time I've ever seen GSM review an IEM.
