Canpur CP622B VS Fir Audio XE6

Youtube Video Summary

Canpur CP622B is positioned as a true apex set among today’s ultra-high-end IEMs—think Storm, Grand Maestro, Pearl, Multiverse, RN6—where differences are subtle and taste-dependent, not about basic quality. The message is simple: once at the Money Trees level, most flagships are excellent; the CP622B stands out by pushing resolution and authenticity to the top of that pile while keeping music the focus.

Evaluation leans on a tight suite of reference cues: bass definition via Black Sabbath “Sweet Leaf” (2:36–3:10), midrange texture with Soundgarden “Spoonman” (spoons/vocals) and Neil Young “The Needle and the Damage Done,” and treble control from Aerosmith “No More No More” (recurring cymbal strikes). Micro-details and spatial tells include Michael Jackson’s beep, Violent Femmes finger snaps, the crowd-side triangulation in Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird,” Pink Floyd’s gate announcement in “On the Run,” Randy Rhoads’ finger slide in “Dee,” and the famous cough in “Wish You Were Here.” These checkpoints spotlight the CP622B’s clarity, attack/decay, and rare sense of depth for an in-ear.

Two practical notes seal it: level-matched A/B at 77 dB @ 440 Hz versus Subtonic Storm to ensure fair comparison, and a low-frequency test around ~42 Hz that makes the shells physically vibrate, delivering that body-felt slam prized in hip-hop and recognized in orchestral power. With a library spanning ACDC, Alice in Chains, Bob Marley, Dre, Kendrick, Metallica, Pink Floyd and more, CP622B reads as a top-tier all-rounder—immense detail at low volumes, potentially intense when cranked, and an easy recommendation for those chasing the very best.
