#we no longer live in the era of hot-swappable opamps unfortunately

The cheap IEM's I got are pretty good 90% of the time but they suffer from a severe case of IEM Oversensitivity, 105dB is just too sensitive for any amplifier chain not made with high sensitivity in mind, I had to use them for a meeting because my headset battery died and the audio solution in my work laptop sounds like a jet engine spooling up on the other end of a runway through them, hissing and crackling that you'd never normally hear on your average 90-100dB headphones.

I was looking up the stats and apparently the new model is rated at 111dB sensitivity which, you're going to cause yourself so many problems.
