You better make sure your ad spend is high enough that your product's matter-of-fact result will be positive. That's a nice product you have there. It'd be a real shame if nobody knew about it.

Since the best resource is personal recommendations, got any entry level cheap IEM recommendations?

Primarily to avoid even more headphone dent, not an audiophile

reply
The iem sub has a post with some recommendations at various price points. I’d probably start there, not sure your budget and I don’t know have the most experience with the super cheap ones: https://reddit.com/r/iems/comments/1la65kr/top_5_iems_in_eve...

I also encourage finding the right tips. Tips are cheap and finding proper fitting ones is important.

Not gp but I really like the sound of my GK Kuntens and 7Hz Zero2s. Both have a rather V-shaped sound signature, some like it and some don't. Though unfortunately the Zero2s feel a bit uncomfortable in my ears when using them for longer

Most of the ones that are over 50 can last a lot of time and have good enough sounds. But the most important stuff are the tips and the cable. Make sure the former fits (just buy a pack) and the latter is thick and braided. Some cheapo ones send every rubbing amplified to your ears.

Why didn’t you tell the robot that, as your query?

I searched something like “top pro vs tea pro se reddit” so I kind of did.

“Kind of”, indeed.

Well, that’s how I would ask an AI. I wasn’t asking an AI though, I was googling it

Google is “an AI”,

and has been for some time!,

was my point ^.^

reply
I was only intending to use the traditional search engine, the AI was incidental. If I want an AI answer, I will go to it separately. This is better in my mind as optimal queries for each are different.

The issue is, Google has mixed the two in a way that promotes the AI response as primary. This has resulted in dubious answers being presented as “official” summaries (to the lay person).

At the very least, one would expect it to be a little smarter—perhaps by automatically doing things like you suggested—instead of basing things off a single source, as it seems to enjoy doing.
