Juzear Butterfly 61T VS Juzear Harrier

Youtube Video Summary

Butterfly 61T arrives as a seven driver hybrid at the 220 USD price point, with 3D printed shells that feel solid in hand and a faceplate design that uses iridescent Abalone to create a subtle butterfly wing effect. The shells are on the larger side to accommodate the six balanced armatures and 10 mm dynamic driver, but the inner curvature is well shaped, so comfort remains good for average sized ears, with only potential concerns for very small ears. The included cable feels premium, offers a choice of 3.5 or 4.4 termination, uses robust two pin connectors, and matches the earpieces nicely with gunmetal grey hardware, coming together as a package that actually looks and feels a bit above the usual 200 USD standard.

Sonically, Butterfly 61T presents a U shaped signature with emphasis on sub bass and treble, while the midrange sits slightly behind. The sub bass focus and solid mid bass give the tuning strong impact, note weight, and a sense of richness, and the 10 mm dynamic driver delivers punchy, dynamic hits on kick drums and low mid percussive instruments. The trade off is a warmer transition from bass into the lower mids that introduces some bass bleed and a touch of veil, trimming a bit of midrange detail and transparency compared to more strictly controlled sets. Even so, midrange detail remains good for the price, upper mids are shaped so that vocals have enough presence without shout, and overall tonality stays engaging and musical rather than aggressive or fatiguing.

Treble is a clear highlight, with Butterfly 61T providing energetic but controlled top end that renders cymbal strikes and higher stringed instruments with satisfying decay, texture, and air. Extension is strong enough that recordings with shimmer and ambience come through convincingly, without pushing into harshness. Technical performance is very good for this bracket: soundstage reaches above average width for an in ear, imaging and layering feel confident, and positional cues lock instruments and vocals in place in a way that stands alongside the better options around 200 USD. Against peers like Chopan, Performer 5, and Origin, Butterfly 61T offers smoother upper mids, more refined treble, and comparable or better technical performance, earning a place as a new 200 USD king. It cannot quite match the naturalness and refinement of higher tier sets like Pilgrim or Studio 4 and remains no giant killer, but within the sub 300 USD range, it stands out as one of the most compelling choices, with the main true upgrade being Dunu Da Vinci.

The Juzear Harrier is a $329 collaboration between Juzear and Mark Ryan that aims less at chasing a specific target and more at delivering a balanced all-rounder in the $300 segment. Build and accessories feel distinctly premium, with a 3D-printed semi-custom shell, genuine blue tiger's eye faceplate, modular cable with 3.5 and 4.4 terminations, and a practical semi-hard case that ties the whole aesthetic together. Comfort is excellent thanks to the light shells, secure fit and solid tip selection, leaving little to complain about in daily use.

Sonically, the Harrier follows an F-neutral foundation with a moderate bass boost, coming across as essentially neutral with extra low-end support. Bass emphasis is focused in the sub-bass, providing satisfying rumble and dynamics while keeping mid-bass in check to avoid bleed and maintain a very clean midrange. Vocals and instruments through the mids sound natural and slightly forward, with just enough warmth and weight to keep things engaging, while the treble brings good detail and air yet stays smooth, never crossing into sharpness or harshness.

Technical performance is a major strength: detail retrieval is among the best at this price, the soundstage offers above-average width with convincing depth and layering, and imaging and focus lock vocals and instruments firmly in place. In direct comparisons, the Harrier offers cleaner bass and lower mids than many peers, a more balanced tonality than bassier sets like Da Vinci, and a smoother, fuller presentation than brighter options or leaner, more vocal-forward tunings such as Dunu 242. Overall, it sits right alongside standouts like Volume S as one of the most compelling, broadly appealing IEMs in its price bracket, with a tuning and technical package that will suit a wide audience.

Youtube Video Summary

Juzear Harrier is a tribrid (1DD + 6BA + 2 micro-planars) tuned with Squiglink, packaged with a soft modular cable (3.5/4.4), 11 pairs of tips, and a compact leatherette case. Build is smooth and well finished with average-sized shells and a secure, pressure-free fit. The kit feels cohesive and practical rather than flashy.

Tonally it aims for a neutral mid-range with a sub-bass focus and a smooth, airy treble, staying balanced, natural and engaging without harshness. Bass is tight and textured with satisfying rumble yet moderate in level; vocals are lifelike and never shouty; clarity and extension up top remain fatigue-free across genres. Technical performance is great for the class with good detail and cohesion, positioning the Harrier as a versatile all-rounder—but it does not suit bassheads or fans of very bright tunings.

Youtube Video Summary

This set arrives with a small pocketable case, a very comfortable shell and a supple cable that together make it easy to forget that anything is in the ears. With the right tips, the Juzear Butterfly 61T offers excellent passive noise isolation, blocking more outside noise than most IEMs in the collection and approaching the Studio 4 in isolation. Comfort is effectively a non-issue despite the larger nozzle, and the combination of isolation, comfort and a fatigue-free tuning makes it very easy to lose track of time while listening.

On the low end, the 61T delivers a level of textured bass that is rare in this price bracket, combining strong sub-bass extension with a beautifully articulated mid-bass. Kick drums and bass lines have clear layering and detail yet stay clean and controlled, with just a touch of bass bleed that slightly softens ultimate midrange clarity but adds pleasing fullness to pianos, acoustic guitars and male vocals. The lower mids carry a bit of warmth and body without sounding muddy, while the rest of the midrange stays clear, detailed and completely free of shout or harshness across rock, metal, jazz, EDM and pop.

The upper mids and treble are tuned with a gentle dip around 4–6 kHz that keeps things smooth and non-fatiguing even at higher volumes, letting female vocals and saxophones sound extended, organic and natural rather than aggressive. Treble itself sits in a neutral, slightly reserved place with enough air and sparkle for clarity, though some listeners who prefer a brighter, airier presentation may wish for a bit more. Where the 61T really pulls ahead is in its soundstage and imaging: width and especially depth are above average, with convincing 360-degree placement that feels more immersive than many peers and even outperforms more expensive sets like DaVinci in stage and imaging. Technical detail is clearly above most sub-$200 options and, while a step below benchmark sets like Blessing 2 or Studio 4 in sheer microdetail, the overall mix of tuning, stage and comfort makes this an IEM that is very easy to recommend wholeheartedly for its price.
