Gizaudio x Binary Chopin

• Jays Audio: If Harman wasn't boring and had a few drinks
• Gizaudio Axel: Harman tuning with excellent bass, clean mids, extended treble, and balanced tonality with great detail.
• Jaytiss: Solid set, thin mids. Slightly bright at times.
• Super* Review: Best Collab IEM in years. It's a nice clean tonality. Fantastic vocal presentation. Added low end warmth.
• IEMRanking AI: The Gizaudio x Binary Chopin offers a Harman-inspired sound with notable sub-bass emphasis and a generally clean midrange. While its bass delivers satisfying depth and punch, some listeners may find...

CrinEar Daybreak

• Jays Audio: Here we go again. Basically the same tuning as P50 and SL224 but doesn't come with clear tips, so stock silicones are not as smooth as the other two, but tips are cheap so not a big deal, still good...
• Jaytiss: Lacks silky treble, but it's fine. But fine isn't good enough.
• Super* Review: Spot-on tonality. Everything sounds very natural and not contrasty. Vocal texturing is above average. Low-contrast sound signature. Bass is not that tight.
• IEMRanking AI: The CrinEar Daybreak delivers a well-balanced sound signature tuned to the IEF Preference 2025 curve, offering natural tonality with a controlled bass boost and detailed mids. While the stock...

Tanchjim Fission

• Jays Audio: Exact same driver and tuning as the Origin (with middle dial on S-SILVER NOZZLE) but with less premium build/design/cable/case - a welcomed hit for better value. Clean, neutral, balanced, full, and...
• Jaytiss: Such a Fantastic little set.
• IEMRanking AI: The Tanchjim Fission delivers a notably neutral with vocal-forward presentation in its default configuration, emphasizing clarity and articulation in the midrange without excessive coloration. Bass...

KEFINE Quatio

• Jays Audio: A bassy all-rounder, and cleaner Doscinco for $100 less. Very versatile with the different nozzles - goes from bassy to clean all-rounder. Solid packaging and accesories. Competitive tech, but not as...
• Gizaudio Axel: Deep bass with strong impact, natural mids with good timbre, and smooth treble with solid detail. Lower treble can get a bit energetic, and upper treble lacks some air. An engaging sound signature...
• Jaytiss: Fun set, nice subbass.
• IEMRanking AI: The KEFINE Quatio impresses with its premium build quality and versatile tuning options. Its lightweight aluminum alloy shells offer both durability and comfort, while the included modular cable with...

Aful Explorer

• Jays Audio: High volume set, very immersive, scales great with no sharpness, wide staging, enough detail/extension, good bass, just crank it up and enjoy the music.
• Gizaudio Axel: Smooth, relaxing tuning, great bass with good slam, rich mid-range, safe treble. Upper mids may be too relaxed for some, treble is a bit dark. Perfect for rock and metal.
• Jaytiss: I own two and gave two away. So yeah, I kinda like it.
• Super* Review: Relaxed upper mid-range. Vocals sound a little bit more forward than instruments. Smooth treble performance.

EPZ P50

• Jays Audio: Clean balanced tuning done right. A better tuned MEGA5EST & MOONDROP Meteor with fuller low-end, and more treble extension, same tech, but more dynamic - also half the price. A Mega5EST with better...
• Jaytiss: For me this has some oddities. It would be higher if those weren't there.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Beautifully done tuning all around. Cons: Nitpick: Bass dynamic could be better.
• Super* Review: Bass can be a little bit on the distracting side if you are looking for a neutral sound signature. Contrasty meta-tuning.

Raptgo Bridge

• Fresh Reviews: Borders C+

Pula PA02

• Jays Audio: Just get Odyssey it's better. Dreamy/airy treble presentation with genres like indie, slow-rock, ballads, singer-songwriter. Immersive/forward vocals that scales nicely. Bass is ok, a little boomy....
• Gizaudio Axel: Great tuning, fantastic vocals.
• Jaytiss: Great tone, lacks dynamic treble, but overall solid for the price and very enjoyable.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Great across the board. Cons: Bass decay slightly too short.

Dunu Kima 2

• Jays Audio: Warm-neutral, relaxing set, great cable, build, and accessories. Vocals are a bit soft, not fully extended, could use more air, but overall decent if you want a comfortable listen
• Jaytiss: Just fantastic dynamic driver. Hard not to love it.

Kiwi Ears KE4

• Jays Audio: Just get Odyssey it's better. Warm/bassy with solid vocal and treble extension (not buried) that scales really well with good treble air to not sound too intimate. Has a fuller noteweight with one of...
• Gizaudio Axel: Great Meta tuning. Could use more detail, not very engaging. Solid reference.
• Jaytiss: It's boring. So boring, like mega boring to the max.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Almost dead neutral tuning in the best of ways. Cons: Lacks excitement, bass is alright.
• Super* Review: New Meta tuned IEM. This gives you a bass boost and it's not the best bass. If you want the Hexa + Bass this is what you want.
• Fresh Reviews: A B for Valorant

Kinera Celest Yaksha

• Jaytiss: Great sonic Value, but has a few issues I'll talk of in the review.
• IEMRanking AI: The Kinera Celest Yaksha combines a 2DD+1BA+1 micro-planar driver setup with a four-way crossover, resulting in a coherent yet distinctly V-shaped sound. Bass emphasis leans toward the mid-bass,...

TWISTURA WoodNote

• Jaytiss: Great overall sound and packing, easy recomendation.

Kiwi Ears Airoso

• Jays Audio: A sightly more airy/detailed EW300 with better timbre. Warm leaning all rounder with good dynamic contrast.
• Jaytiss: Rich thick, enjoyable. Benchmark for me. Just epic.
• IEMRanking AI: The Kiwi Ears Airoso offers a warm, smooth sound signature characterized by a full-bodied bass with satisfying sub-bass rumble and quick decay, though mid-bass impact remains reserved. Its midrange...

Kiwi Ears Aether

• Jays Audio: Clean, balanced, with slight air boost in the treble. Bass sounds like a DD with great texture. Cheaper better tuned P5+2. Not as smooth as Timeless 2 with more dynamic contrast with a slight sizzle...
• Gizaudio Axel: Balanced sound with clean bass, smooth mids, and detailed treble. Great clarity, wide soundstage, and natural timbre for a planar. Bass might be a bit light, and treble can be a little forward for...
• Jaytiss: Not for bassheads, but one of the best planars I've ever heard.
• Super* Review: A little bit spicy in the treble (like the other planars). Relaxed upper mid-range. Warmer tuning than S12. It's a decent IEM

Kiwi Ears ETUDE

• Jays Audio: Reverby, bouncy, and extended decay in the sub-bass. Unique bass play back and adds more texture to the low-end. Although reverb can bleed into the vocals - maybe the drivers work too well lol. A...
• Jaytiss: This is a unique sound, for neutral I prefere Airoso.
• IEMRanking AI: The Kiwi Ears Étude offers a distinctive listening experience centered around its Kiwi Vibration Transducer (KVT), which adds a subtle tactile sensation to bass frequencies. This isn’t a...

Etymotic ER4XR

• Crin: A more mainstream tuning of the ER4S/SR with slightly boosted bass.
• Precogvision: So. Darn. Boring. But yes, it's the BA benchmark.

CCA HYDRO

• Jays Audio: The best KZ so far, tuning swithces allow lots of options. Good tech, all-rounder sound with bass boost, but, KZ.
• Jaytiss: When this hits, it's just a treasure. Insane value.

Truthear Nova

• Jays Audio: NEED FOAM TIPS makes the treble smooth and clear. Very clean harman sound with smooth but well extended treble/one of the best treble under $200, no roll-off. The pinnacle of trying not to offend...
• Gizaudio Axel: Harman-style sound signature with solid sub-bass, clean forward vocals, smooth treble extension, and great detail. Could use more bass, vocals can feel lean and a bit intense at times. A solid...
• Jaytiss: Nice set, great bass. Too much upper mids.
• Super* Review: A little bit thin and shrill sounding. Hexa costs half as much and it's the better IEM.
• Smirk Audio: Borders C+
• Fresh Reviews: Strengths: Overall clean sounding, works well with quicker pop genres (Jpop/Kpop). Weaknesses: Male vocals recessed, does not work well with the other half of Jpop/Kpop. Lower midrange suffers from...

AFUL MagicOne

• Jaytiss: The resolution and clarity at this price is so lovely.
• Super* Review: Sounds quite good but not exceptional. Not a lot of depth. Nothing is sharp or aggressive. Take it for what it is
• Smirk Audio: Pleasant female vocals and decent bass. Male vocals are forward and treble has some grain.

Moondrop Kadenz

• Jays Audio: Literally a more fancy Tangzu Xuan NV. Sounds basically the same but just with better packaging, cable/case, and build... but for $100 more?? Nah
• Jaytiss: Great Cohessiveness and tonality. Upper air is very nice.
• Tim Tuned: Nice physicality and punch. Better bass as most basy IEMs. Okay technicalities. Image Separation is not the widest but decent.

Shozy P20

• Jays Audio: T10 PRO better. Unique tuning with "speical sauce", warm but also sparkly in the treble without the uppermids becoming shouty (tamer uppermids). Great for kpop/jpop/pop and even hiphop and rock....
• Jaytiss: The most non planar planar.

Simgot EA1000

• Jays Audio: Bright-leaning with the best bass texture at its price point, and one of the best under $500. Incredible resolution and clarity with stunning female vocals. Timbre is as natural as you can get given...
• Jaytiss: The only Passive Radiator iem that doesn't make me want to vomit.
• Tim Tuned: Technical performance is pretty solid. Bright leaning V-Shaped signature, but tasteful.
• Super* Review: Can go to a C+ in some titles

Tri i3 Mk3

• Jaytiss: Very nice neutral set, beautiful, but so many good sets.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Pleasant signature with no major spikes in treble, zero planar timbre. Weaknesses: Bass quantity is on the lower side, highs are not as prominent.

Padsmith IEM

• Jaytiss: Packaged like theiaudio iem... lol this hobby.
• Fresh Reviews: Better in COD

Ziigaat Lush

• Jays Audio: A cleaner more technical AFUL Explorer with a more open sense of space and airier treble. High volume set. Very smooth and balanced at higher scaling - has a "Lush" and full sound. Mid-volume sounds...
• Jaytiss: Mid mid focused set, I dig it.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Very niche relaxed tuning. Cons: Too compressed sounding for me.
• Super* Review: Nice take on new-meta tuning. A little bit more relaxed but nice.
• Fresh Reviews: Apex scores lower (B to B-)

Letshuoer DZ4

• Jays Audio: Recommended at high volumes. A better Galileo with more treble/air. Vocal centric. Powerful and extended vocals. Could use better separation and tech, and lacks bass.

Simgot EM6L

• Jays Audio: Great resolution and tech, one of the smoothest iems, but uppermids will get hot on energetic tracks at higher volumes. Slightly warm but also lively. Recent units are a lot brighter than first batch.
• Jaytiss: A solid budget choice. Hard to think of a more neutral set than this.
• Tim Tuned: Can go to a B in some titles

Nicehck NX8

• Jays Audio: An Explorer with better vocals but doesn't scale as well. Odyssey and Arcadia better for clean and bass sound.
• Gizaudio Axel: Great tonality, solid bass impact. PZT timbre.
• Jaytiss: Nice overall tuning, best thing NiceHack has ever done.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Balanced frequencies throughout, no standout weaknesses and relatively safe tuning with decent technicalities.

Tripowin Olina SE

• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Balanced tuning over the OG, with generally decent tech. Weaknesses: Upper frequencies on the relaxaed side, B-grade bass. Comment: An improved Olina essentially.

Simgot Supermix 4

• Jays Audio: Endgame Harman, one of the smoothest IEMs I've heard with Tangzu Sancai tips (regular). Some units might be hotter in the treble/pzt timbre
• Gizaudio Axel: Harman tuning. Soft bass, bright sound, metallic timbre.
• Jaytiss: Way too much upper mids, also gets a little off sometimes.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Harman with more treble energy. Cons: Can be too spicy.
• IEMRanking AI: The Simgot Supermix 4 packs a quadbrid driver configuration (1DD+1BA+1 Planar+1 PZT) into a comfortable resin shell. Its sound follows a U-shaped signature aligned with the Harman IE 2019 target,...

Moondrop KXXS

• Crin: Well-tuned single DD with proper timbre and decent technicalities.
• Precogvision: Excellent timbre; not the most resolving set, but very easy on the ears.

Kinera Celest Relentless

• Jays Audio: Slight v-shape with good tech and detail, treble can be too much but has that sizzle and sparkliness some people will like.
• Gizaudio Axel: V-shaped tuning, powerful bass, great technicalities. Bright treble. Foam tips improve the sound a lot.

PULA Anvil

• Jays Audio: Good low-end impact and slam, but boomy/soft in the bass texture, the BCD has no effect in the low-end, more prominent in the uppermids/treble which can lead to some sharp/graininess/jaggity timbre....
• Gizaudio Axel: Punchy bass, great mid-range texture, immersive soundstage, BCD that works, and excellent resolution. Could use more sub-bass. The BCD effect is awesome, but may not be for everyone.
• Jaytiss: Nice set, kinda mellow.

Tin Hifi P1 Max

• Jays Audio: Mid-centric, relaxing, warm, airy, comforting. Very unique listening experience. Could use better separation/resolution and bass slam.
• Precogvision: Probably the weak link out of the planar resurgence.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: The only neutral planar so far from planar wars, with much improved tonality and technicalities over its predecessors. Weaknesses: Clarity from instrument separation lacks as a result of...

Letshuoer S12

• Jays Audio: The most refined S12 to date. Smoothest treble out of all the S12, and very little Planar timbre while keeping up the great tech and detail.
• Jaytiss: I think the s12 is fine, the pro and z12 don't add too much value
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Planar with the most "wow" factor. Spacious heead stage. Cons: Treble can be too much.
• Fresh Reviews: Great package and some titles arguably A-

TOPPING Arpegear Hane

• Gizaudio Axel: Great tuning switches. Hard to drive, bass quality and overall detail.

Kefine Klanar

• Jays Audio: A cheaper S12. Almost identical sound and tuning. Good value. Look for aliexpress deals.
• Jaytiss: At $120, I'd still go with the NicHCK F1 pro.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Cheaper S12 Pro/ Z12.

Meze Alba

• Jaytiss: Aceptable, but not great value.
• Super* Review: Build Quality and Fit are stand out. Fantastic Fit. Sound-Wise very engaging. Cons: Little bit sharp and contrasty.

Unique Melody 2HT Terminator

• Crin: Tonality almost reminds me of a HYLA hybrid. Well tuned with strong technical performance.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Decently tuned and clear. Weaknesses: Treble bite is real. Comment: Bright and treble-focused.

Moondrop Kato

• Jays Audio: Good detail, clarity, and imaging, but can sound thin. Similar tuning as Hana, but I found Hana to have better note-weight and bass.
• Crin: For $200, I'd probably recomend other iems. But it's solid.
• Jaytiss: A slight improvement over the KXXS all-round in the technical department.
• Precogvision: Pros: KXXS with better vocals and details.
• Tim Tuned: Strengths: Solid tuning, backed with surprising clarity that is a step up from the kxxs bunch. Weaknesses: Lower mids thin sounding. Comment: Moondrop's best "budget" single DD iem.
• Super* Review: A bit thin, pillow light bass. Treble and stage could use some more refinement. A tecnical upgrade to Aria.

ZIIGAAT x HBB Arcadia

• Jays Audio: Niche/high volume set. Great scaling, warm, bassy, thick, comforting listen. A mini MEGA5EST Bass. Initmate and immersive experience. Not the most technical for the price, and vocals can be a bit too...
• Jaytiss: I don't get it, very dark. Lifeless.
• Fresh Reviews: C+ Apex, B to B- COD, B Val

Tripowin Olina

• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Tuned well, about 80% similar to the Oxygen at less than half the price. Weaknesses: B-grade bass response like the Oxygen. Comment: A less refined Oxygen with aggressive upper midrange.

Tangzu Zetian Wu

• Tim Tuned: Pros: Good mild v-shape tuning with little to fault. Cons: Not ideal soundstage for the price.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Tuned to be balanced rather than V with more vocal emphasis, bass slams hard for a planar. Weaknesses: Mediocre soundstage and not the speediest of planar decay, overly warm. Comment: Can...

Tangzu Zetian Wu Heyday

• Jays Audio: Clean and neutral with treble emphasis. Great technical performance. Airy and lively treble. Bass could use more impact and weight. Vocals are on the lighter side of things.
• Jaytiss: I can't really recomend this with other planars at much cheaper.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: More detailed than original + better bass. Cons: treble can be smoother.
• Fresh Reviews: Strengths: Smooth midrange, meaty low with characteristic planar subbass extension, relatively smooth treble; detail retrieval is above average. Weaknesses: Transition from midbass to lower mids...
• Shuwa-T: Mid-range focused planar for those looking for a great planar set that is not V-shaped. Love it.

Thieaudio Legacy 4

• Crin: Well-tuned if technically lacking in comparison. Could use some more power in the bass.
• Precogvision: Good tonal balance, but can be fatiguing. Sounds like it's trying too hard.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Well tuned. Weaknesses: Limited by technical performance. Comment: A decent iem that isn't too sterile.

Moondrop Kanas Pro

• Crin: Somewhat Harman-esque in tuning, not the best in terms of resolution.
• Precogvision: A KXXS with less treble extension and slightly poorer resolution.

Letshuoer DX1

• Jays Audio: Dynamic, vibrant, and contrasty vocals with good balance and scaling. Natural, full, and immersive with scaling and not peaky. One of my fav vocals under $200.
• Jaytiss: Fit is odd, but great flat iem at the cost.
• Super* Review: I don't get the point of this IEM. Not offensive sounding. Sound-wise unengaging.

Juzear 41T

• Jaytiss: This is a colored sound, I don't like it but I can see how others might.

Final Audio ZE3000

• Shuwa-T: Strengths: TWS with decent tuning and technical capabilities. Weaknesses: Bass sounds like most TWS, very mediocre imaging. Comment: TWS from Final.

Nothing Ear 2

• Precogvision: Absolute cacophany of sound; comparable to blown laptop speakers. Razor sharp upper-midrange and thin lower-mids.

Tanchjim Kara

• Jays Audio: Clean and natural midrange focused signature that's right up my alley. Open and airy staging with great instrument layering. Still very resolving even though it lacks the last bit of treble detail....
• Jaytiss: Has nice treble, good technicals. But it's super expensive for me.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Very smooth and organic midrange, great treble. Cons: Lacking some bass dynamics.
• Smirk Audio: Cons: Better options for the price.

Seeaudio Yume II

• Jaytiss: This could be end game for some.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Bump in clarity and very well tuned. Comment: This would be the set if it came out in 2021.
• Nymz: Shows some signs of incoherency and lack of bass texture, but a very solid option due to its tonal balance.

Moondrop Starfield

• Crin: A cheaper KXXS.
• Precogvision: See KXXS. Just slightly less upper-midrange.
• Tim Tuned: Cons: Might be too relaxed.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Well tuned, arguably the one who started the chifi wave of decent tuning.

Tanchjim Hana 2021

• Jays Audio: An Oxygen with more bass and note-weight but at the cost of slightly worse imaging and detail.
• Precogvision: Essentially a cheaper Tanchjim Oxygen.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Cheaper Oxygen with small cut back in details.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Decent tonality, difficult to fault. Weaknesses: Can be somewhat aggressive sounding at times. Comment: Better tuned upper midrange compared to the original Hana.
• Nymz: A warmer, bassier, slightly less technical and a bit more V-shaped Oxygen. Rec'd for those that love harman but want more bass quantity.

Dunu Talos

• Jaytiss: It's a fine set, but my excitement is dulled by it's price.
• Precogvision: Sounds best with the BA switch off. Somewhat thin, mid-treble oriented sound.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Very well tuned, well balanced. Cons: Could use more air.
• Super* Review: Strengths: Inoffensive tuning, one of the more balanced sounding planars. Weaknesses: Soundstage and imaging are decent at best. Comment: Didn't buy since harmonics for cymbals too prominent.
• Shuwa-T: Mid-treble heavy. Extention is great and bass has tactility to it. The BA switch is a joke - Don't use it.

Ikko OH10

• Crin: Your standard "chifi V" but done fairly well. Decently technical.
• Precogvision: Great bass response and surprisingly good treble extension if you can hear the 15kHz peak.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Power bass with good details.
• Shuwa-T: Weaknesses: Narrow soundstage which occassional bass bloom. Comment: "Fun"-sounding V shape iem, also suitable for bassheads.

Sony WF-1000XM3

• Crin: Proper tonality, solid technicalities yet with a consumer-friendly signature.

Ikko OH1

• Crin: Well controlled sub-bass focus, high clarity and has an inherent "Asian" signature.

KBEar Aurora

Aful Magic One

• Jays Audio: Balanced and neutral with slight warmth in the mid-bass. Male vocals are great on these, weighted but still has edge and sharpness to the end notes, but can get sharp at higher volumes. Male vocals...

Tin Hifi P1 Plus

• Super* Review: Needs EQ. After EQ is fine but other planars exist. Great choice if you love to play around with EQ and fit it to your target. Falls short to the newly arrived planar offers.

SeeAudio Yume Midnight

• Tim Tuned: Pros: Great tonal balance. Cons: Bass can be mushy.

Kinera Celest PhoenixCall

• Jaytiss: Fantastic packaging tribrid for this price.
• IEMRanking AI: The Kinera Celest Phoenixcall offers a distinctive tribrid driver configuration (1DD+2BA+2 Micro Planar) that delivers an energetic, V-shaped sound signature with pronounced mid-bass impact and...

Tin Hifi T4

• Crin: A worthy successor to the legendary GR07.
• Precogvision: Solid tuning and technical chops for the price, not much to complain about here.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Decent tuning. Weaknesses: Limited by technical performance. Comment: Neutral and inoffensive.

Sennheiser IE200

• Jays Audio: Great dynamics and scaling. Very good treble timbre and extension... but $150?? Low-end is soft, boring, and pushed back. Mid-range and vocals are recessed. Same level of clarity and tech as cheaper...
• Precogvision: Redefines expectations in its price bracket for single-DDs. Impressive treble extension and technicalities if a bit dry sounding.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: IE600 style tuning with less upper mids and treble details. Cons: Stock tips and gimmick sucks.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro

• Crin: More lower mids than your average Harman-tuned IEM, but works in its favour by being more pleasant.
• Precogvision: A warmer interpretation of the Harman curve and pretty horrible imaging.

Tin Hifi P1

• Crin: One of the rare few IEM-style planars with proper tonal balance without EQ, but lacking detail retrieval.
• Shuwa-T: Weaknesses: Unacceptable tuning, extremely power hungry. Comment: Screams for EQ, screams for desktop amps/dedicated daps.

Moondrop KXXX

• Precogvision: See KXXS. Just slightly bassier.

Moondrop Starfield 2

• Jays Audio: Bright harman/DF, great detail, but a bit sharp and shrill
• Jaytiss: It's just not great, but some might like it.

Tanchjim Hana

• Crin: Somewhat strange upper-midrange tonality. Not a "mini-Oxygen".
• Jaytiss: Treble just not good, too much upper mids as energy.
• Precogvision: Singers sound like they're choking.

Seeaudio Yume

• Jays Audio: Vocal benchmark along with EPZ P50 until Volume S, OG Oracles and RSV for most - natural and open vocals. Midranged focus, can use better bass texture and treble extension.
• Precogvision: Class-leading tonal balance butchered by subpar technicalities.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Great tonal balance with beautiful vocals. Cons: Yume Midnight exist.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Extremely well tuned. Weaknesses: Literally everything else. Comment: One trick pony.

TRI Starsea

• Jays Audio: Deep bass and good treble. Mids/vocals can sound reccessed. Good imaging and separation. No real complaints.

TANGZU Wu Zetian

• Nymz: V-shape. Great bass for a plannar. Nice imaging. Treble is still planar wonky but not terrible. Might be my favourite planar so far, but it seems to need power than competition.

7th Acoustics Proxima

• Precogvision: Sounds similar to an ER3 from memory, but possibly worse.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: True "IEF Neutral" IEM, can be "A" tier with easy EQ. Cons: Bass lacks fun and life.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Tech performance for this price is unparalled, a true IEF neutral offering, treble extension. Weaknesses: Tuning to such neutrality is not welcome for majority of people, bass impact...

Etymotic ER2XR

• Jays Audio: An ER2SE with better bass control.
• Gizaudio Axel: Great tuning with natural vocals and safe treble. The fit.
• Jaytiss: Legendary iem. But I can't even.
• Precogvision: Controlled bass and darker treble. Narrow imaging, but solid technicalities for a single DD.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Great detail and solid tuning. Cons: Intrusive fit.
• Nymz: Sub-100usd king. Great for the price, punching above, but fit is a major problem - I use it with comply foams. Lacks stage depth due to fit. Hard to drive.

BQEYZ Autumn

• Precogvision: Slightly sharp around 3-5kHz, but decent enough otherwise. Cool magnet filter system, bass filters sound best.
• Super* Review: Strengths: Well tuned set with filters that actually work, solid bass response. Weaknesses: Midrange is borderline boring. Comment: BQEYZ's best offering from their seasons lineup.
• Shuwa-T: Ranked with Treble magnet. 4-5k still not perfect but fine. Stage is small and has no depth. Great bass extension. I can't rec it stock at this point with all the competition.

Shuoer S12

• Precogvision: More resolving than the Timeless, but even brighter. Tonality still remains the bottleneck to the planar IEM landscape.
• Nymz: Insanely resolving for price. Good planar timbre. Good stage presentation. Might be too bright for some. Great fit and acessories. Insane value. Takes EQ like a champ if you find it too bright.

Fiio FW5

SeeAudio x Crinacle Midnight

• Jays Audio: Great vocals and mids. Sub-bass boost and smooth treble. Overall great tuning but lacking in upper frequency details and imaging/seperation. Average soundstage.
• Precogvision: Impressive treble extension and tonality, but generally sounds compressed on both ends of the spectrum.

BGVP DMG

• Crin: Decent tonal balance though bass response is not up to par.

Letshuoer S12 Pro

• Jays Audio: A less bright timeless/S12.
• Jaytiss: It's very similar to the z12.
• Fresh Reviews: Not nearly as good as the S12 2024

Tripowin x HBB Olina

• Jaytiss: New HBB Xuan NV is just the way to go over this.
• Precogvision: Exellent tonality and shimmer (for a DD); nonetheless, could possibly benefit from better layering chops.
• Nymz: Close to Oxygen but for 99$ with better fit. One of the best price-to-performance you can get at the moment. Good imaging, great stage presentation and very balanced harman tuning. If you don't wish...

LETSHUOER x Gizaudio Galileo

• Jays Audio: Clean and neutral signature with empahsis in the midrange. Best vocals before Orch Lite $100-->Replaced by DZ4.
• Precogvision: Quite inoffensive but smoothed-over. Needs more resolution and sense of dynamics.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Solid tuning, balanced throughout with slight emphasis on female vocals. Weaknesses: Treble rolls off prematurely. Comment: A poor man's Diva with worse technicalities and less extension.
• Nymz: Great tuning that follows along my preferences, but falls short in the last field of the treble region. A great value overall.

TINHIFI T5S

• Jays Audio: A good bassy set. Great low-end texture and slam. Forward bass presentation (bass in your face). Heavier than Legato but not as well-controlled and open.
• Jaytiss: Great tonal balance, only lacks in imaging and highs.

7HZ FIVE

• Jays Audio: V-shaped, a lot of bass, good slam and impact. Fun and exciting. Texture is ok, layering and separation not that clean. Uppermids are sharp. Vocals are husky/congested and sharp somehow. Lack of air...
• Jaytiss: It's not terrible, but just not remended at the price.

LETSHUOER D13

• Precogvision: Slightly too shouty and comes across as a mildly dirty V-shape for some reason.

7Hz Salnotes Dioko

• Jaytiss: Timbre is weird, treble is harsh.
• Precogvision: Bass sounds oddly restrained and treble still has some oddity. Solid enough otherwise.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Balanced tonality, inoffensive, neutral. Cons: Uneven treble and okay staging.
• Nymz: Could use more bass but other than that, probably the best tunning of all the planars I've heard for my preferences. Resolving power is not on the same level as its competition but it has better...

Kbear Diamond

• Precogvision: Pretty good bass texture if not somewhat bloated; overall solid tuning.

Moondrop Stellaris

• Jaytiss: Needs EQ to shine.
• Precogvision: Shrill and thin sounding to the point of unnaturalness.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Good technicalities. Weaknesses: Everything else especially the fit. Comment: It's not winning any planar wars.
• Nymz: Upper-mid range focused planar with good resolving capabilities, that sadly aren't enough. Thin and agressive sound - probably 1 filter away from excelence. Nozzles and weight might be a problem for...

Thieaudio Legacy 2

• Precogvision: Pleasant tuning marred by low-level detailing and downwards compression.

NF Audio NM2+

• Gizaudio Axel: Good detail and separation. Shouty upper mids, and bright treble.
• Crin: Tonality can get a little intense and is fairly underwhelming, though surprisingly resolving.

LETSHUOER Z12

• Gizaudio Axel: Clean, impactful bass, great detail, fast transients. Upper mids are a bit intense, bright treble, planar timbre.
• Jaytiss: Very V shaped. Enjoyable. 60 dollar cable included with it.

Sennheiser IE 200

• Jaytiss: Just not for me. Tried multiple times, never found engaging.

Fiio FH3

• Crin: Does come off as sort of a broken FH5, but the FH5 elements are mostly there.
• Jaytiss: Decent iem, Not baddly tuned, but not great technicals for me.
• Precogvision: Bloated bass and general congestion issues.
• Shuwa-T: Weaknesses: Narrow soundstage. Comment: Bass boosted neutral tuning.
• Nymz: My first IEM. Bad coherency and timbre. Good techs, bad tuning for my library. IMO, there are better and cheaper options out there.

Final Audio E4000

• Crin: Rather standard sounding, non-offensive and neutral in tone.
• Shuwa-T: Weaknesses: Midbass hump can bleed into lower midrange.

TinHifi T4

• Jays Audio: A harman/df or waner with a better driver.
• Precogvision: Solid tuning and technical chops for the price, not much to complain about here.

Dunu Kima

• Jaytiss: Sounds good. Smooth and Fast. Definate upgrade to the Dunu Titan S.
• Tim Tuned: Solid warm neutral tonality with decent technicalities. Bass could use more dynamics and treble could use more air, but solid nonetheless. Good fit and great accessories.

Ikko Gems OH1S

• Precogvision: A major regression from the OH10. Zero bass with a thin, fatiguing midrange and treble response.

Seek Real Audio Airship

• Nymz: Very close to Tanya filtered Olina. I'd take Double stock filter Olina over this, especially given the price, but a solid contender nonetheless.

7hz Legato

• Jays Audio: SUPER SLAMMING BASS but also well controlled and fairly open stage.
• Jaytiss: It does bass well, it is very solid for the price. You need to watch movies on this.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: It's a lot of bass but absolute no resolution, some bass layering but everything is drowned out. Weaknesses: Why does this exist.
• Nymz: Well done V for the price, but with some treble quirks. Great set for bassheads on a budget.
