DMS puts Apple EarPods at the heart of his audiophile rethink

His September commentary favors music discovery and buying albums over another expensive headphone purchase.

  1. 0:13DMS says his listening setup now uses Apple EarPods with an EQ dongle.
  2. 0:49He argues that high-end equipment is optional when listeners can tune accessible gear with EQ.
  3. 2:02He favors buying physical releases or digital albums to support artists rather than continually buying equipment.
  4. 2:54He argues that DSP and EQ can emulate characteristics associated with desktop tube amps.
  5. 3:47His music recommendations include Hana Vu, Wet Leg, Silvana Estrada and Bon Iver.

What is keeping DMS listeners company without a new upload? Mostly a reminder that they may not need another piece of audio gear.

In "audiophiles need to know...", DMS sits outdoors beside the water, wearing sunglasses and a white bucket hat, and makes the case for a simpler listening setup. His own choice is Apple EarPods with an EQ dongle. High-end headphones can be enjoyable, he says, but tuning accessible equipment matters more than its price tag. "I don't want to listen to my gear, I want to listen to the music."

That September upload is drawing the most daily views of his videos right now and has reached roughly 334,000 views. Its closing stretch puts the argument into practice: album recommendations include Hana Vu, Wet Leg, Silvana Estrada and Bon Iver. Rather than ending with another shopping shortlist, he gives listeners music to explore.

DMS posted nothing new over the week, while the existing catalog added about 57,000 views. Subscribers stayed unchanged, and daily viewing is running below its usual level. Among nearby tech channels, cmcteq and ZTT Extras are both seeing daily views at roughly twice their typical pace; Gizmodo is much closer to its usual rhythm.

There is gear exploration in DMS's archive too. "Crinacle helped me find the perfect IEM" remains another source of daily viewing, followed by "Why Earbud Reviews Can't Be Trusted (Including Mine)". Together, those titles leave plenty of room for both the pleasure of finding something good and the question of how much a review can really tell you.
