Kiwi Ears Astral

• Jays Audio: Great all-rounder. Slighty airy with good sub-bass extenion. Balanced but still fun. A cleaner, airier, and less sharp & sparkly version of the Meta - vocals pop out more than Meta. Tip rec Sancai...
• Gizaudio Axel: Deep, textured sub-bass, clean and forward mids, airy treble, and great detail. Upper treble can be a bit much, and the bass tuck isn’t for everyone. Great all-rounder with a bright, airy top end.
• Jaytiss: Tonality is fantastic.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Clean, techinical v-shape signature with great midrange. Cons: upper treble too much.
• IEMRanking AI: The Kiwi Ears Astral offers a Meta + mild V-Shaped signature with a pronounced sub-bass shelf and energetic treble extension, deviating from its marketed "reference" label. The 10mm bioceramic...

• Jaytiss: Great midrange at the price, hard to beat.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Bass surprisingly addicting and tactile. Cons

Aful Cantor

• Jays Audio: LOW VOLUME SET. Clean, airy, and highly resolving at its price with endgame separation and detail. Low-end is quick, but lacks impact and a bit of texture. Notes are on the lighter side, not very...
• Gizaudio Axel: Exceptional detail, neutral tuning, and great bass quality. Very revealing. Could use more bass for my taste. One of the most resolving IEMs. It reveals details you’ve never noticed before.
• Jaytiss: Maybe best detailed set, fit is extremely difficult.

• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Crystal clear across all f

Xenns Tea Pro

• IEMRanking AI: The Xenns Mangird Tea Pro offers a bass response that emphasizes sub-bass depth with a noticeable +3dB lift at 20Hz, providing substantial rumble without overwhelming the mid-bass. This allows bass...

Thieaudio Valhalla

• Jays Audio: TOTL all-rounder with "endgame" tech across the board, a better tuned U12T with better bass texture
• Jaytiss: Big fan, but lack fantastic air like some other sets.
• Fresh Reviews: S tier for COD, borders A- for other titles
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Deep bass despite all BA set, techs carry this set more than the overall tone. Weaknesses: Treble is mushy for something with so many BAs, not for high frequency enjoyers.

Xenns Top Pro

• Jays Audio: Very technical, amazing resolution and detail for the price, treble is slightly crispy and sparkly, clean but dynamic all-rounder. Mid-volume set for the most part as treble can get hot at higher...
• Gizaudio Axel: Balanced tuning with clean bass, smooth vocal-forward mids, refined airy treble, and excellent detail and separation. A refined, genre-versatile all-rounder. One of the best in its price range.
• Jaytiss: Has some odd warmth for me, but is great.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: New meta tuning with boosted bass and upper treble. Cons: BA timbre.
• Super* Review: A little bit unengaging to listen to. Bass kinda lacks definition. Kinda reminds me of the Mega5 EST. Not a bad IEM but not my favorite at 500 bucks.
• IEMRanking AI: The Xenns Top Pro delivers a textured bass response from its dual dynamic drivers that avoids excessive bloat, though it occasionally overshadows lower mids in complex tracks. Its midrange remains...

ZiiGaat Luna

• Jays Audio: Airy, smooth, warm, laid-back, balanced, lush and dreamy vibes. Great for rock/metal, scales decently high. Mid-bass over sub. Not as vocal forward as Arcanis and other vocal sets. My Luna graphs...

Fiio FA19

• Gizaudio Axel: Warm V-shaped sound with bassy lows, sparkly treble, and excellent resolution. Bass quality could be better and treble is bright. Great resolution and micro-details.
• Super* Review: I can't recommend this IEM. Even if it would be 1/10 of it's price.

Moondrop Meteor

• Jays Audio: Neutral, clean and clear vocals, vocals pop out, good tech. Next to no planar timbre - one of the least planar like planars. Treble isn't sizzly and bright, but vocals can get shouty on energetic...
• Gizaudio Axel: Forward vocals, super smooth treble. Bass lacks weight, impact, and slam. I need more bass!
• Jaytiss: Bright leaning. But very nice when it hits.
• Super* Review: Objectvly great but unengaging. Not a set I reach for often. Maybe I am underrating it a bit.

Dunu Vulkan 2

• Jays Audio: Neutral/vocal centric set with very little sub-bass. A very "unique" tuning for a neutral sound. Very genre dependent. Clean and clear vocals with a slight bite. Lower-mids are just enough to bring...
• Jaytiss: Fantastic Mids and Treble!
• IEMRanking AI: The Dunu Vulkan 2 employs a dual dynamic driver setup—10mm for sub-bass and 8mm for mid-bass—each in isolated chambers to reduce interference and enhance low-end articulation. Its four-way hybrid...

• 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

• Super* Review: Overall it is sounding more visceral and incisive than the Performer 5.

Ziigaat Odyssey

• Gizaudio Axel: Great bass, natural vocals that aren't shouty, and excellent treble extension. The lower treble can be too much. Fun and engaging tuning. It's like a more exciting version of the KE4.

• Tim Tuned: Pros: Fantastic V-shape Meta Tuned. Cons: Could use a bit less mid-treble spiciness.

Jays Audio x ZiiGaat Estrella

• Jaytiss: Great soundstage,very V shapped, to those sensitive to those regions.

Mangird Xenns Top

• Jays Audio: What the Variations should've been. Fantastic tehcnincalities. Neutral-bright leaning. Nothing wrong with it at mid-volume, but I can see treble can be too much at highet volumes.
• Precogvision: Very inofffensive tonality with a soft treble response, sounds like lower and mid-treble are too recessed.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Exceptionally tuned, full range and detailed. Cons: Treble might be too much for some.
• Fresh Reviews: Strengths: Layered bass slam, full midrange. Weaknesses: Lower treble gets a little hot, cymbal strikes too prominent. Comment: What Variations aspired to be.
• Shuwa-T: Best Mangird has ever done - a slightly more fun Variations. Very clean and technical with a boomier bass. Lower mid-range is still somewhat dry.

Intuaura Purple

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...

Dunu DK-3001 BD

• Gizaudio Axel: Excellent bass quality, deep sub-bass, transparent mids, and great resolution. Low mid-bass, slightly lean vocals, and bright treble. More mid-bass and less treble would be perfect
• Jaytiss: I prefer this with the adapter, but is fine without.
• Precogvision: Not to my taste - treble sounds slightly brittle and harsh - but plenty of resolution and clean presentation.
• Tim Tuned: My second 5 star IEM in 2024. The Braindance is a very satisfying IEM to listen to.
• Super* Review: Some titles arguably A
• Fresh Reviews: -

Letshuoer Mystic 8

• Jays Audio: Vocal benchmark for female vocals under $2000. Clean, airy, sweet, ethereal. Better than Diva and direct upgrade to OG Oracle and OG Mangird Tea. What the Braindamage and Cantor wishes they could be....
• Jaytiss: Lack Bass Richness, but is a beautiful set.
• Super* Review: Surprising in a lot of fronts. Maybe a little bit overpriced but I like it
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Vocal magic, midrange and upper mids are crystal clear while never being too technical. Weaknesses: Both sub and midbass presence is less than normal which makes this more genre specific,...

Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk

• Jays Audio: Inoffensive safe tuning, less fatiguing uppermids good for jpop/kpop. Vocals lack the last bit of extension, detail, and power. DSP APP is a shit show. Heavy competition from Nova, Cincotres, Hype 4.
• Gizaudio Axel: Great bass quality, rich vocals, balanced tonality, sparkly treble, and excellent resolution. I prefer more bass. Excellent tuning and a highly detailed, all-around performer.
• Jaytiss: Just a tad on the bland side.

• Super* Review: Overall high engagement factor.
• Fresh Reviews: Borders C+

TANCHJIM x Effect Audio Force

• Gizaudio Axel: Clean mids and forward vocals. Light bass impact, upper mids can get intense, and average detail. Mid-forward, neutral-bass sound signature. Not very versatile across genres.
• Jaytiss: The open back nature of this iem is compelling!
• IEMRanking AI: The TANCHJIM x Effect Audio Force employs a dual dynamic driver configuration, pairing a 10mm titanium-coated bass driver with an 8.2mm beryllium-coated mid-high driver. This setup, managed through...

Elysian Apostle

• Jays Audio: Clean, neutral, and clear vocals. Reminds me of a cleaner Volume S or slightly better OG Oracle, but very expensive, maybe if you can find one around $1000 since it's more of a sidegrade to RSV,...
• Gizaudio Axel: Incredibly textured bass, forward vocals, top-tier EST treble, and insane detail. Exceptional in every way.
• Jaytiss: Instrument separation is good, and is a nice darkness, but can be silbilant.
• IEMRanking AI: The Elysian Apostle delivers a V-shaped signature with a powerful, sub-bass-focused low end that offers substantial rumble and physicality, though some listeners might find it occasionally...

Dunu SA6 EST

• Gizaudio Axel: QDC Anole VX tuning, excellent resolution, and great bass. Unvented design, no bass switch, and less airy than the SA6 MK II. I prefer the SA6 MK II.
• Super* Review: Not a bad IEM if you get the right tips. It's a bit disappointing compared to the original SA6.

Thieaudio Monarch MK3

• Jays Audio: Better low-end texture and overall more engaging than MK2, but lacks the mid-range/vocal magic, so depending on your preference either is great. Still TOTL tech like MK2. Great all-rounder.
• Gizaudio Axel: More bass, treble, and detail than the Monarch MK II. The vocal magic of the Monarch MK II is gone. I prefer the Monarch MK II for its tonality, vocals, and timbre, but I get why some prefer the MK...
• Jaytiss: Fatiging at times for me, too fun at times.
• Precogvision: Still perplexingly poor bass performance, but improves upon the Monarch MKII's treble extension noticeably.
• Smirk Audio: Elevated, well-textured mid-bass. Pleasant mids. Elevated upper-treble may be pesky to some.
• Fresh Reviews: Borders A for some titles
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Better bass response compared to the mk2. Weaknesses: Trades off the lush midrange in place of a cleaner sounding, almost boring midrange.
• Nymz: An improvement in the bass and treble department over the Mk2, but without the same special sauce in the mid-range and with some imaging problems still.

ORIVETI OH700VB

• Jays Audio: Replaced by Astral. A more engaging Supernova, cleaner, with better sub-bass, and vocals. Very big stage and fantastic separation and layering. Vocals are airy without being too sharp. Lots of...
• Jaytiss: This is like a supernova with better Bass, but slightly less technical.

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.

Apevoix Grit

• Jays Audio: A better tuned Anvil, but BCD doesn't do much, bassy all-rounder sound

I/O Sogno

• Jays Audio: Literally Harman 2019. Inoffensive and good all-rounder. A little sharp in the timbre vs Volare (I'd just save up for the Volare if you want Harman), more low-end than Volare, better bass and timbre...
• Super* Review: It's a fine IEM if you look for something which is Harman compliant. It's a bit narrow sounding but pleasant.
• Fresh Reviews: Very Tip Dependent

HiSenior Cano Cristales

• Jays Audio: Exciting v-shape, graphs and sounds like a more aggressive/sharper Estrella that's less smooth/refined and more peaky. Uppermids can get shouty and fatiguing. Needs some sonions to smooth things out....

ZiiGaat Crescent

• Jays Audio: Slightly warm, full, and sparkly/crispy treble. A warmer TOP PRO with a step down in technical performance. Treble can get much on kpop/jpop/energetic tracks. Mid-volume set, doesn't scale as well as...
• Gizaudio Axel: Clean and controlled bass. Clear, forward vocals. Airy treble with good separation. Upper treble can be too much for some. Lively V-shape sound signature.
• Jaytiss: Excellent day one. Very nice.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Kind of an Odyssey but spicer. Treble is surprisingly not grating. Cons: Treble is a lot and takes priority over mid & bass.
• IEMRanking AI: The ZiiGaat Crescent combines a dual dynamic driver setup—using PET and LCP diaphragms in an isobaric configuration—with Knowles balanced armatures for mids and treble. This hybrid approach...

Elysian Annihilator 2021

• Crin: Agressive listen with excellent resolution and, currently, the only true implementation of the EST drivers.
• Precogvision: Pros: Speediest Treble, well extended, high details. Cons: Midbass a bit too much for me.
• Tim Tuned: Strengths: Extremely well tuned set with incredible technical performance and extension. Weaknesses: Treble may be a little too spicy. Comment: Perfect for treble heads.
• Shuwa-T: Usual agressive and saturated Elysian house sound with the best treble ever.

Elysian Annihilator 2023

• Gizaudio Axel: Powerful, impactful bass, the best treble I’ve experienced in an IEM, endgame-level detail. The bass might be too much for some people. Hands down, my favorite IEM.
• Jaytiss: Treble extension is insane, I always think I'm over it, but I may never be over it.
• Precogvision: More of an all-rounder with better bass compared to the 2021 version, sacrifices some soundstage.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: More defined bass than 2021 version. Cons: 2021 is cleaner and more open sounding.
• Smirk Audio: Top-tier resolution with world-class treble. Great dynamics. Could use better bass texturing. An exciting listen.

Thieaudio Hype 10

• Jays Audio: U-shaped, nice treble extention and dynamics, solid vocals, more low-end emphasis than MK3, dynamic and great all-rounder that doesn't specialize in anything.
• Gizaudio Axel: More detailed Hype 4. Too similar to the Hype 4.
• Jaytiss: It leaves me lacking nothing, just a fantastic set.
• Fresh Reviews: Strengths: Rather similarly tuned to the Hype 4, which is regarded as a mini Monarch 3.

Thieaudio Hype 4

• Jays Audio: One of the best all-rounders under $600 (v-shaped harman). Treble quality is smooth and well extended. Great low-end texture with lots of impact. Good vocals. Solid tech, and just solid in general.
• Gizaudio Axel: Fun, bass-boosted sound with powerful bass, great treble extension, and clear vocals. Treble can be overly crisp at times. A fun and exciting IEM.
• Jaytiss: Upper trebble is odd on many tracks, but is a strong set.
• Precogvision: Bass sounds somewhat 'BA-ish' for being DD, but well-tuned, decently technical, and a very solid package overall.
• Tim Tuned: Great imaging and headstage. Width is outstanding. Even at 400 bucks it's outstanding in this pricerange.
• Super* Review: Strengths: Contains some DNA of the well tuned Monarch 3.

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.

Thieaudio Origin

• Jays Audio: Best bassy set under $1K. Bassy/thicker meta tuning. You can actually feel the reverb and vibration from the bone conduction drivers, great control and low-end texture. Mids and treble are also well...
• Jaytiss: Great set, has a lot of positives and is amazing on bass tracks.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Mega bass additiveness. Cons: Bass too much.
• Super* Review: Interesting sound. It becomes it's own thing. Fit is not great.
• IEMRanking AI: The Thieaudio Origin delivers a bass-forward signature with a substantial 12dB sub-bass boost that provides visceral rumble and slam, particularly effective for electronic or hip-hop genres. Despite...

Thieaudio Oracle MKIII

• Jays Audio: Great bass texture, much better than predecessors, smooth and slightly airy giving it a sizzly timbre, great layering/separation, vocals are slightly laid back but not gone, very balanced across...
• Jaytiss: It's like a Pilgrim OG with EST. It's kinda cool.
• Precogvision: Pretty detailed but sounds incoherent, particularly in the treble, which also seems exaggerated in a bad way.
• Super* Review: A step in the right direction compared to mk2. I like this as much as the mk1. Solid all-rounder, good sense of separation.
• IEMRanking AI: The ThieAudio Oracle MKIII presents a divisive tonal character that splits listener opinions. Its bass response, driven by dual dynamic drivers in an IMPACT2 subwoofer configuration, offers textured...

Symphonium Crimson

• Jays Audio: U-shaped/Slight V/W Shaped. Energetic treble. Great tech. Fun signature.
• Jaytiss: Suffers from BA bass, and super Zingie Treble.
• Precogvision: Colored tonality done correctly with incredible bass and dynamics. Upper-treble can be slightly too zingy depending on source.
• Smirk Audio: Excellent bass, dynamics, and resolution. Very large soundstage with great imaging. Mid/upper-treble may be too elevated for some.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: The bassier Helios with no sacrifices to clarity.
• Nymz: Great bass, holographic stage and top of the shelf dynamics. Probably my favourite rendition of a W-shaped tuning to this date. Treble might be spicy for some, but using Divinus Velvets (stock black)...

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.

Ziigaat Cincotres

• Jays Audio: Great bass texture, vocals, treble, solid all-rounder. Similar to Variations but with a smaller/delayed scoop, more mid-bass, but not as much treble/air. A fun bassy sound but still well-balanced....
• Jaytiss: This is a mini Monarch MK , V baby.
• Fresh Reviews: Can border B
• Shuwa-T: -Strengths: Very musical presentation with less aggressive vocals, treble is surprisingly good for such a relaxed tuning. Weaknesses: Separation and less of a clear definition between the lower...

Symphonium Audio Helios SE

Hisenior Mega5-EST

• Jays Audio: New unit is better tuned/balanced, smooth, and sounds like adjusted diffusefield.
• Gizaudio Axel: Great tuning, neutral with bass boost, smooth, safe, and balanced. Could use more detail, incisiveness, and excitement. A "plain water" type sound signature with a bass boost.
• Jaytiss: Let's call a spade a spade, this is boring.
• Precogvision: Very bouncy bass but midrange sounds sucked out and has some oddity. Original sounds more coherent even if less exciting/detailed.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Exceptionally tuned across the board. Cons: Could use more "wow" and details.
• Super* Review: Fantastic tuning.. it really does not get better. Technical performance could be better.
• Smirk Audio: Well-tuned and great techs at this price point. Lacks dynamics and the mids are a little lean. Otherwise a great all-rounder.
• Fresh Reviews: Great for music
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Bass layering, treble detail are excellent; midrange leans neutral and focuses on clarity over musicality. Weaknesses: It is not for people who seek addictive midrange or musical...

Unique Melody Mason FS Soleil Tomb

• Smirk Audio: Highly resolving, technical, and balanced across the frequency spectrum. Is shouty/edgy in the upper mids/lower treble. Cons: Price, treble peak.
• IEMRanking AI: The Unique Melody Mason FS Soleil Tombé delivers a neutrally balanced sound signature characterized by a smooth, analog-like tonality across lows and mids, paired with naturally resolving treble....

Thieaudio Monarch

• Jays Audio: Endgame clarity and layering. Great resolution, and open staging. Not holographic but very clean. Rumbly sub-bass but mid-bass tuck can kill some libraries, and affects vocal thinness.
• Crin: Neutral with bass boost
• Precogvision: Not particularly coherent, but an attention grabber with solid, surface-level detail.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Superb separation, fun clean signature.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Balanced sounding across all frequencies. Weaknesses: Lower mids on thinner side. Comment: Less steep subbass hump, clearer midrange.

Softears Studio 4

• Jays Audio: Best all rounder under $500. "Correct" and neutral tuning. Perfect vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is...
• Gizaudio Axel: Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation. Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone. A benchmark for tonality and...
• Jaytiss: Something magical about this set, but it's not the Bass.
• Precogvision: Sounds plasticky and smoothed; inoffensive to the point of being offensive.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Just great all around, balance with amazingly clean midrange.

Elysian Pilgrim

• Jays Audio: Clean, clear, all-rounder, similar tuning as the Dusk but with better vocals, bass quality is great as well, aethestically pleasing too. If you want a clean all-rounder, or sensitive in the 3-8K,...
• Gizaudio Axel: Elysian house sound with a balanced tuning, textured sub-bass, smooth mid-range, well extended treble, and excellent resolution. I prefer more bass. One of the most resolving IEMs under $1000.
• Jaytiss: Great little set to consider for those after an Elysian Product.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Most technical sounding IEM under $1000.
• Super* Review: Not a bad IEM. Very solid but in this price range it's really competetive. Very safe tuning.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: The most chaotic and in your face of the triple threat, more focus to subbass and treble.

Tanchjim Origin

• Jays Audio: Just buy Fission. A cleaner/less warm LM, smoother EA1000 (fermats a little more resolving), very balanced, clean, and neutral sound. Very tough competition.
• Gizaudio Axel: Cohesive, vocal-focused tuning with dynamic bass, smooth extended treble, and excellent detail. Could use more sub-bass. Smooth, detailed, and vocal-centric sound.
• Jaytiss: Great Clarity, exceedingly tip sensitive.
• Precogvision: Japanese flavor of tuning (mid-bass and upper-mid focus) finally done justice. Strong technical chops and slightly forward.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Beautiful timbre and treble. Cons: Bass can use a bit more...volume.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: One of the more balanced sounding Tanchjim iems, vocal centric. Weaknesses: Quantity in the bass region, more noticeably the subbass.

Binary Dynaquattro

• Jays Audio: Natural vocals, good treble extension, bass is tight and more resolving vs 61t and Davinci. Overall very well balanced and clean. There are some small peaks at 8-10k and 15-20K which can be an issue...
• Gizaudio Axel: Excellent bass, vocal-forward tuning, and natural timbre. Hard to drive, could use more treble extension. Shines when driven properly.
• Jaytiss: It has great tuning, but lack serverly in some areas. Very fun.

Tangzu Xuan Wu Gate

• Jays Audio: Clean, neutral, balanced, technical, laid back, very detailed. Neutral tuning done right while being a little dynamic/engaging. Tip wise Azla spinfits for more detail, tangzu sancai regular for...
• Gizaudio Axel: Solid mid-bass, natural vocals, and detailed treble. Treble is a bit elevated, and upper mids feel a bit relaxed.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Great relaxed tuning. Satisfying subbass and treble. Cons: Female vocal lack a bit of life.

Simgot EM10

• Jays Audio: A more immersive version of the Pilgrim with better mid-bass kick. More airy and slightly more detailed in the treble. Harman vocal gain might be too much for some. Bass might be boomy depending on...
• Gizaudio Axel: Bass-boosted Harman tuning, forward vocals. Overall detail, PZT timbre.
• Jaytiss: Very Special set, but the Supermix might be the better value.

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,...

Campfire Moon Rover

• Jaytiss: It's a littled relaxed in the bass, but has a fun nice tune.
• Super* Review: Not cheap and you can get stuff which sounds better for less to be honest. I like the build quality and form factor. Sound-wise not for everybody, but for me.

Night Oblivion Butastur

• Jays Audio: Overpriced as hell - I don't get the hype. Vocals are way too shouty with masking. Treble peaks around 10K with a dip in the air afterwards. Low-end is "good", but nothing amazing for the price....
• Jaytiss: I'd be careful buying it due to QC issues of others. But I enjoyed my time with it.
• IEMRanking AI: The NIGHT OBLIVION BUTASTUR delivers a natural timbre and cohesive sound, with its standout feature being a lush, dense midrange that excels in vocal and acoustic instrument reproduction. Vocals...

Letshuoer Cadenza 4

• Jays Audio: Slightly bright, clean sound, very airy, sweet vocals. Great separation and resolution. Reminds me of the OG Orcales. Follows Harman 2019 but with more air. Needs more low-end, not an all-rounder....
• Jaytiss: It's like a better Hexa, it's not bad, but feels lean.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Weakest point is the slightly thin midbass to lower midrange, makes up for it in the midrange clarity and treble smoothness.

Effect Audio x Elysian Gaea

• Jays Audio: Super aggresive, exciting, v-shape, treblehead. Low-end is also very punchy and rumbly. TOTL technical performance with tons of details and OCD, but gets fatiguing. Shouty.
• Precogvision: Fantastic clarity at the expense of sounding somewhat dry.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Versatile DNA that's also unique. #1 Jack of all trades.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Easy to like tuning that isn't considered too safe with convincing vocal presentation, bass slams hard. Weaknesses: Not entirely coherent especially in the upper frequencies, subbass hits...
• Nymz: Clarity king with great sense of detail. An agressive listen but never sibilant. Great tight and fast bass, at the expense of sounding dry in the lower mids. Not recommended if you are sensitive to...

Punch Audio Martilo

• Jays Audio: Cheaper, and slightly more energetic HBB Punch with slightly less mid-bass and slam. Endgame "balanced" basshead. Imaging feels sharper than Punch, but treble is not as smooth, aside from that very...
• Gizaudio Axel: Boosted, clean, and textured bass. Mids are surprisingly clear for a bassy set. Treble’s smooth and non-fatiguing. The bass might be too much for some. Great basshead set with strong technical...
• Jaytiss: BASS
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Strong bass, fun overall. Cons: mids need improvement for the price.
• IEMRanking AI: The Punch Audio Martilo delivers a powerful bass experience that dominates its signature, featuring a substantial 14dB sub-bass boost. This emphasis creates visceral, physical rumble, especially in...

Tigerism Sunflower

• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Planar with a well balanced signature and solid technicalities to boot. Weaknesses: Separation is still a few notches below the greats, planar treble may bother the sensitive.

MYER SL224

• Jays Audio: Same tuning as the EPZ P50 but fancier with a little more sub-bass, and slightly more detailed in the treble but barely noticeable. This is "technically" better, but P50 would be the better value...
• Gizaudio Axel: Natural vocals, clear mids, and smooth, detailed treble. Clean and balanced sound with a nice touch of air and sparkle. Bass is polite and reserved. Can feel a bit incohesive at times. Good for vocal...

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...

Thieaudio Monarch Mk2

• Jays Audio: Neutral tuning with one of the clearest mid-ranges. Natural and clean vocals. Great resolution, separation, and detail. Can be a little dry with its analytical presentation. Bass is well-seperated...
• Gizaudio Axel: Smooth, balanced tuning with natural vocals, beautiful timbre, and excellent tonality. Detail and could use more bass. Treble depends on ear tips. Outstanding tuning.
• Jaytiss: Still a king, more neutral to my ears, than MK 3. Just wow.
• Precogvision: A solid improvement in imaging with slightly more palatable tonality than its predecessor.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Cohesive, smooth, balanced, technical. Cons: slight treble wispiness.
• Super* Review: Good treble with tons of air. Forward, ethereal mids. Good detail retrieval with

Moondrop Variations

• Jays Audio: Very clear with lots of detail. Sub-bass has a nice rumble and texture. Amazing treble extension and stage air. Female vocals are vibrant and shines. Mid-bass cut is real, affecting some genres and...
• Gizaudio Axel: Great sub-bass, Harman tuning, and excellent detail. Can sound thin. A solid benchmark.
• Crin: Sub-bass-focused signature with Moondrop's clean tuning makes this one of the best $500 tribrids.
• Jaytiss: The more I listen the more perfect I find it.
• Precogvision: A more refined B2 Dusk with better bass texture and treble extension.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Great separation and details. Cons: Thin lower midrange.
• Smirk Audio: Great tuning, neutral timbre, and a satisfying bass with a sub-bass focus. Solid all-rounder.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Clarity. Weaknesses: Subbass overpowers lower mids. Comment: Too much subbass, dry sounding lower mids.
• Nymz: Resolution king for the price point with a fun tuning. Great sub-bass and treble. Lack of mid-bass bass and somewhat thin mids murdered it for my library. Can see the appeal for others tho.

Moondrop S8

• Gizaudio Axel: Harman-like sound with plenty of detail. BA bass. Smooth, detailed, and balanced tuning.
• Crin: More faithful to the Harman target compared to the A8, with a smoother bass response.
• Jaytiss: Special set.
• Precogvision: Excellent treble extension and detail retrieval.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Smooth engaging harman signature with fun bass. Cons: BA timbre.
• Smirk Audio: Very resolving with a sweet, pleasant timbre. Good mids and treble. Average bass. Upper-mids may be shouty to some.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Clarity and tuning well done. Weaknesses: BA timbre. Comment: Technically proficient.

Elysian Pilgrim Noir

• Jays Audio: Good but expensive. Recommended if you can find it for around $500. Direct upgrade to the AFUL Explorer. Scales great. Reminds me of the EJ07M but a bit smoother and less dynamic. Prefer it more than...
• Gizaudio Axel: Bassier than the original Pilgrim with similar resolution. Sound is similar to the original Pilgrim.
• Jaytiss: Way different than Pilgrim OG, less bright. Smoothe.
• Super* Review: Relaxed at the vocal region compared to orignial Pilgrim. Too expensive. Texturing is a little bit better than original Pilgrim
• Smirk Audio: Cons: Similar to Pilgrim OG at twice the price.
• Fresh Reviews: link is for the less expensive one

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...

Aful Performer 8

• Jays Audio: Good neutral set. Airy and open staging but with forward vocals although lacking in extension. Great layering and details but not 3D and more flat. Vocals could also be more open, and feels "stuck".
• Gizaudio Axel: One of the most technical and best air and details iem out there for the price.
• Jaytiss: Quite solid technical performance. Good imaging/separation. Good sense of positioning.
• Super* Review: Strengths: Technicalities are solid, better staging and imaging compared to P5. Weaknesses: The tuning has slight honkiness in the midrange. Comment: Slight retuning could bump this up.
• Fresh Reviews: Great tonal balance with technicalities to back it up. Probably the best treble balance you find up to its price point. Mid-bass won't be for everyone.

7Hz Timeless 2

• Jays Audio: Good all-rounder set with solid tech. Good variety with the nozzles that actually changes the sound. Treble is smoother than other planars, and not much "planar timbre".
• Gizaudio Axel: Clean, impactful bass, great detail, fast transients. Upper mids are a bit intense, bright treble, planar timbre. Sounds is identical to the Timeless OG.
• Jaytiss: It's fine, but it's 230 dollars.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: A good v-shape. Cons: treble can be a bit too much.
• IEMRanking AI: The 7Hz Timeless II updates its predecessor with a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver featuring a dual-sided silver alloy diaphragm and N52 magnets, offering improved responsiveness and reduced "planar...

Thieaudio Prestige LTD

• Jays Audio: Clean and natural signature with treble emphasis. LOTS of details with airy treble without going overboard (better treble extension vs MK2/MK3). Bass is not as impactful versus MK3 but has better...
• Jaytiss: The unit I reviewed had wonky bass, expect this to change if I review a unit with proper bass.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: A much better implementation than the Prestige OG.
• Nymz: The best Thieaudio I've heard to date. Very close tonality to the Mk3, but with better technical performance, especially in the dynamics and stage departments.

Dunu Mirai

• Jays Audio: Bright leaning set with great tech. Clean mid-range, sharp imaging, sparkly female vocals with decent amount of air. Does get fatiguing and sharp on more energetic tracks and genres like...
• Jaytiss: Expensive for what it is, lean, and bright.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Refrence, beautiful timbre, open stage. Cons: Tuning may be boring for some.
• Super* Review: Lot of fun IEM. Is it perfect? No. Treble could use a little work. Harmanish take on low end with relaxed top end.

EPZ 530

• Jays Audio: Great set for jazz/blues/soul/acoustic. Thick and lush. Warm but with nice treble extension. Solid tech. Vocals can be overly husky and buried in busier songs.
• Jaytiss: It does some things very well. Very good item.

Empire Ears Raven

• Jays Audio: V/W Shaped. Energetic treble. Great tech. Fun bass and engaging signature. Overpriced?
• Precogvision: Sounds quite hi-fi and grand sounding, but coherency could use work - bass is distinct from the EST tweeters.

Letshuoer S15

• Jays Audio: Neutral and laid back tuning. Great layering and separation and resolution. Great treble extension and air without being too sharp and light like other planar iems. Bass is also not light and floaty,...
• Jaytiss: Nice Clarity, good detail. I feel it should have got more love.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Warmer tuned planar with less emphasis on the lower treble; easier to listen to for longer periods. Weaknesses: Still plagued by planar timbre, overall clarity takes a hit from warmer...

Simgot EA2000

• Jays Audio: Very clean with great resolution, but vocals can be too bright (alot of gain). Bass-texture is great with decent treble extension. Amazing for female vocals, but again, can get shouty. A brighter...

Yanyin Mahina

• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Same as moonlight but heavier bass response. Weaknesses: Because of the heavier bass region, it does not sound the most balanced. Comment: Best yanyin so far.

Canpur CP622B

• Jaytiss: A good set, but lacks magic for me to justify keeping.
• Smirk Audio: Highly technical with great tuning and vocals. Punchy mid-bass with great sub-bass extension. Can sound somewhat unexciting and dry on some sources. Cons: Poor quality stock cable.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Similar to the Storm, but with greater focus to bass dynamics at the cost of less clarity. Weaknesses: Price.

PMG Audio Apx SE

• Smirk Audio: Great resolution and layering. Great bass texture and punch. Mids have a small timbral issue. Refined, resolving highs. Analogue tone. Engaging yet non-fatiguing. Cons: Shells prone to cracking.

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...

Heartfield CU8

• Jays Audio: Warmer Harman 2019 with less shouty vocals. Bassy all-rounder with decent tech. Build and plate design is very pretty... but price is a bit high and not that competitive - wait for sale unless you...
• Jaytiss: It's fine, but is fine worth your purchase?

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.
• Tim Tuned: 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...

Symphonium x Elise Audio Europa

• Jaytiss: One of the best things Elise and Symphonium have done. Love it.

Noble Knight

• Jaytiss: Nice mid focused set, but needs EQ.

Letshuoer EJ07

• Jays Audio: TOTL mids. Most 3D and holographic staging yet. Imaging, separation, layering, and staging are all S level - only thing that's holding it back is the darker treble which can lead to softer notes vs,...
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Vocal centric with great clarity and thick note weights in the midrange. Weaknesses: Bass may be too polite. Comment: My favourite of the EJ lineup.

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.

Canpur CP74E

• Smirk Audio: Punchy bass with some bass body bloat. Pleasant, euphonic vocal timbre with good note body. Decent treble minus the lower/mid-treble dip.
• Shuwa-T: Strengths: Retains all the techs of the 622b with a more tamed bass presentation, overall arguably more balanced sounding than the 622b. Weaknesses: Bass transition to lower midrange may not work...
