Brise Audio Fugaku

• Smirk Audio: World-class bass dynamics and slam. Coherent and fleshed out soundstage. Full-bodied notes. Slightly relaxed treble and lower mids. Upper mids slightly forward. Cons: Price, requires proprietary...
• IEMRanking AI: The Brise Audio Fugaku represents a radical departure from conventional IEM design, functioning as an integrated portable audio system rather than standalone earphones. Its core innovation lies in...

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....

Oriolus Traillii

• Precogvision: Dull microdynamics and treble at a not-so-dull price.
• Smirk Audio: Very natural and balanced-sounding set. Exquisite voicing and tuning. Soundstage is somewhat intimate. Bass is plasticky and lacks slam/texture. Cons: 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.

Subtonic Storm

• Jays Audio: The best IEM I've ever heard. Best timbre. Super natural. TOTL tech. It's just good. That's all.
• Gizaudio Axel: The most detailed IEM I’ve ever heard.  Exceptional resolution, neutral sound signature.  Hard to drive.
• Precogvision: Easily at the top for resolution and dynamic contrast, accompanied by rigid transients and pinpoint layering.
• Tim Tuned:  The most extraodinary normal sounding IEM ever. Amazing all-around  big and heavy shell
• Smirk Audio: World-class resolution and layering. Extreme, almost exaggerated dynamics. Staging is large but not class-leading.
• IEMRanking AI: The Subtonic Storm delivers a balanced sound signature characterized by a generous sub-bass boost, neutral midrange, and an elevated, articulate treble response. Its standout feature is the...
• Shuwa-T: Comment: TOTL tuning with TOTL technicalities to boot.  Perfectly tuned, unparalled detail retrieval, staging, imaging, and proper holographic background as a cohesive package  The price I guess

Aroma Jewel

• Smirk Audio: Demoed on Eletech Victoria cable (not stock). Very fleshed out stage with convincing depth. Strong imaging, layering, and res. Bass can use more body and decay.
• Shuwa-T:  U-shaped tuning that focuses on clarity over musicality  Noteweight in the midrange can be too thin for certain genres

Aroma Audio Fei Wan

• Jaytiss: Impressive tech, is even better with EQ. Has a special sauce.
• Smirk Audio: Decent bass and lush, "wet" mids. Has a treble peak that can be pesky to some. Great overall techs. Cons: Price, treble peak, build quality.

Vision Ears Erlkonig

• Crin: Good tonality, high resolution and an overall decent all-rounder.
• Precogvision: Good detail retrieval and tonal balance on settings 3 & 4. Poor midrange micro-dynamics, though, and quite boring.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Smooth without compromising too much on details.  Warm yet spacious  Might almost sound dark

Elysian X

• Precogvision: Basically a more sub-bass focused Annihilator 2021 with some trade-offs in technicalities.
• Tim Tuned:  Near excellent timbre, fantastic bass  Slight uppermids uneverness
• Nymz: A more sub-bass focused Annihilator without the same level of technicalities and treble.

MMR Thummim

• Crin: More resolving than the Homunculus, but also comes with bass bloat.
• Precogvision: Gives me the impression that I'm hearing things from underwater.

AME Mousa

• Jaytiss: Energetic Bassy fun set, but so excellent.
• Smirk Audio: Cons: Price, bass bloat.

Unique Melody Multiverse Mentor

• Smirk Audio: Immersive soundstage. Euphonic, lush mids, and inoffensive treble. Lacks incisiveness and upper mids can get a little intense. Cons: Price.
• Shuwa-T:  Midrange lush, thick instrument note weight  Price, what else

Forte Ears Macbeth

• Shuwa-T:  Feels like a remastered VX in terms of clarity and staging  The tonality is too off for regular listening, timbre is also off in general

64 Audio Fourte Blanc

• Precogvision: Quite detailed, but lots of uncanny valley in the midrange (sounds like singers are singing into a cup) and treble is contentiously bright.

Nostalgia Audio Tesseract

• Shuwa-T:  Midbass and midrange focused, while boasting very clear midrange  Treble can be intense

Softears Enigma

• Gizaudio Axel: Endgame-level detail paired with great tonality.  Exceptional detail, high-quality bass, balanced tonality, and excellent timbre.  The bass has a fast decay.
• IEMRanking AI: The Softears Enigma offers a distinctive take on summit-fi audio with its warm, bass-forward signature that prioritizes musicality over analytical precision. Its low-end delivers pronounced mid-bass...

Empire Ears Wraith

• Crin: A Zeus with almost nonexistent treble and clarity.
• Precogvision: This IEM's name about sums it up.

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.

64 Audio Fourte

• Precogvision: Tia Trio's older brother that takes things too far off the beaten path for tonality.
• Shuwa-T:  Smoothened sound compared to u12t and Trio  Tonality is very strange, even more wonky than Trio

Elysian Annihilator 2021

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

64 Audio tia Fourte

• Crin: Unique sound; high clarity and bass response with immensely wide staging, held back by a wonky tonality.
• Precogvision: Tia Trio's older brother that takes things too far off the beaten path for tonality.

JH Audio Layla Aion

• Precogvision: Muddy with no upper-midrange or treble extension to speak of. You wouldn't know this IEM had 12BAs.

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:  Similar to the Storm, but with greater focus to bass dynamics at the cost of less clarity  Price Price

Empire Ears Odin

• Crin: A Legend X with the bass properly controlled and the resolution one step higher.
• Precogvision: High-clarity signature that invokes a sense of stateliness.
• Tim Tuned:  Well textured bass, good control, pleasing tones

FATFreq Grand Maestro

• Jays Audio: The best basshead set. That is all. EXPENSIVE. If you just want bass HBB Punch way better value.
• Jaytiss: Is one of those sets that can do it all. Very impressive.
• IEMRanking AI: The FATFreq Grand Maestro offers a highly adaptable sound signature through its NOAH modules and vocal switches, enabling four distinct tuning profiles. The black NOAH module emphasizes sub-bass...
• Nymz: See Maestro SE but with worse bass.

Hidition Violet

• Crin: Strong sub-bass presence, slightly cut-back upper mids. A fun IEM through and through.
• Precogvision: The best BA bass that I have heard, otherwise marred by poor imaging and slight congestion issues.

FiR Audio Radon 6

• Jaytiss: Solid set, enjoyable, fun.
• Smirk Audio: Engaging bass, decent mids, and vibrant highs. Suffers from coherency issues. Mids are a touch veiled. Decent staging except for depth.

Campfire Audio Trifecta

• Jaytiss: It's a tubed iem, very unique. Very hit or miss on music, love it or hate it.

Empire Ears Legend Evo

Empire Ears EVO

• Jays Audio: Great bass texture. BC driver actually works. Very well controlled but still impactful. Great resolution. Doesn't scale well because of spicy uppermids. Vocals often gets shouty on certain tracks,...
• Precogvision: An improvment over the LX SE's bass, but still lacking in the Odin's control. BC is no gimmick at least.

Kinera Imperial Loki

• Jays Audio: Super clean and clear sound. Beautiful vocals. Everyhting is extremely well balanced. No special sauce tho.
• Jaytiss: Packaged well but feels like an Alien is in your ear.
• IEMRanking AI: The Kinera Imperial Loki delivers a technically impressive W-shaped signature that balances sub-bass depth, vocal clarity, and sparkling treble extension. Its standout feature is the bone conduction...
• Nymz: Great bass texture with slightly hot upper mid-range and well extended treble. Remarkable technical performance.

qdc Anole V14

• Crin: Rather bassy even in stock form; fun and engaging, though at the expense of sheer technical performance.
• Precogvision: Fixes Anole VX's bass texture and plastickyness, but comes with its own quirks in the metallic treble.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Bass heavy for BA with no strange timbre.  Great detail retrieval and technicalities  Almost comes across as somewhat messy with that much clarity that it ruins the cohesiveness

Vision Ears EXT

• Precogvision: Tasteful W-shape tuning that delivers in the technical department. Mid-treble can be sharp, though.
• Nymz: Pleasant warm tonality with an agressive treble and techs to back it up. Treble will be too hot if you are extra sensitive. Fit is an issue.

Dita Perpetua

• Shuwa-T: Comment: For acquired tastes, while your wallet gets acquired in the process.  The cable is more impressive than the IEM  Overall resolution, honestly pretty low resolution

64 Audio U18S

• Precogvision: A worse U12t. Lacks U12t's dynamic range and layering chops.

64 Audio U18T

• Precogvision: Bloated BA bass and overly compressed dynamic range. The least "64 Audio" sounding IEM that fails to bridge mainstream tuning and Hi-Fi.

Nightjar Duality

• Jaytiss: Bass thunder, with impedance adapter fun and switches.
• Smirk Audio: Massive yet controlled bass. Lush timbre and well-extended, non-pesky treble. Bassy mode may be too bassy for some. Mids can be a touch forward on balanced mode.
• Shuwa-T:  Pretty much a must have for bassheads, with surprising clarity in highs

Vision Ears VE10

• Jaytiss: Very safe tuning, but safe is great.
• Smirk Audio: Lush and mid-bassy set with no obvious tuning issues. Technicalities could be better at this price range.

Elysian Annihilator 2023

• Gizaudio Axel: Hands down, my favorite IEM.  Powerful, impactful bass, the best treble I’ve experienced in an IEM, endgame-level detail.  The bass might be too much for some people.
• 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:  More defined bass than 2021 version  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.
• IEMRanking AI: The Elysian Annihilator 2023 delivers a distinctive U-shaped signature, prioritizing an ethereal, hyper-detailed treble that remains its crown jewel. The dual electrostatic drivers produce a...

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:  Retains all the techs of the 622b with a more tamed bass presentation, overall arguably more balanced sounding than the 622b  Bass transition to lower midrange may not work well for slower genres requiring a higher midbass shelf; less versatile

qdc Emperor

• Shuwa-T:  Treble extension, EST implementation is top notch here, also not a conventional style of tuning  Price Price

Vision Ears Elysium

• Crin: First decent implementation of Sonion's EST tweeters.
• Precogvision: The first "passable" implementation of the Sonion ESTs. Not particularly coherent, unfortunately.

Unique Melody MEST Indigo

Moondrop Solis 2

• Gizaudio Axel: I prefer more bass.  Great bass quality, vocal clarity, and detail.
• Precogvision: Very mediocre sounding overall and build quality is reminiscent of a $20 IEM.

Audeze LCDi4

• Crin: Low distortion, high resolution and excellent clarity marred by poor tuning which destroys timbre.
• Precogvision: Top-tier imaging and layering, DSP is mandated for proper tonal balance.

qdc Anole VX

• Gizaudio Axel: A highly detailed IEM.  Endgame-level detail.  BA bass and timbre.
• Precogvision: Very well-rounded, but sounds overly plasticky and artificial.
• Tim Tuned:  Unrivaled Resolution  Can be fatiguing
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Sounds like a DD iem but with the clarity and speed of BA; unrivalled clarity.  You'll hear more sounds than intended
• Nymz: Lovely tonality with incredible technicalities that scream details everywhere. Sinning only on female vocal position and BA timbre. Hits my HRTF like I like to hit my credit card.

64 Audio Volur

• Jaytiss: 64 Audio's finest.
• Super* Review: If you are a lover of bass, this is a good option. Does not sacrify the rest of the sound signature
• Fresh Reviews: Great IEM but big price. Not Huge Gain

Empire Ears Legend X SE

• Crin: A more upper-mid-forward variation of the original Legend X, which could come off as slightly more mid-recessed.
• Precogvision: Lacks control in the bass, but it's so fun. Excellent imaging performance that belies its tuning.

64 Audio Tia Trio

• Crin: A more correct sounding version of the Fourte with slight cutbacks in staging and sheer resolution.
• Precogvision: Rich bass and out-of-head imaging.
• Nymz: Best bass texture ever. Gorgeous treble extension, stage and imaging. Coherency and timbre a bit off. Upper mids/lower treble could be better. As amazing as it is, I couldn't fully connect with it...

Empire Ears Legend X

• Crin: High resolution hybrid flawed only by lack of control in the bass regions.
• Precogvision: Bass lacks texture, but a fairly holographic, "grand" presentation that is unique for a V-shaped response.

Simphonio VR1

• Precogvision: Lack of air and mostly sounds like a generic single-DD that's been dampened.

Letshuoer Cadenza 12

• Jays Audio: A better version of the U12T vocal/tuning wise, no mid scoop and wonkiness. (#1 or #2 vocals for me). Vocals are sweet, extended, open, airy, but also never fatiguing and weighted. No BA timbre, very...
• Jaytiss: Great timbre good on classical. Detailed and analytical, but too Safe.
• Precogvision: More 'musical' tonality with a touch of spice in the treble. Technicalities could use work for the price.
• Tim Tuned:  One of the best treble-head set. Lots of micro details  Treble will be too much for some
• Smirk Audio: Bouncy, liquid-like bass. Well-bodied, analogue mids and extended highs. Great staging on all axes. Decent resolution. Excellent all-rounder.
• IEMRanking AI: The Letshuoer Cadenza 12 delivers a balanced sound signature with a slight warmth in the low end, providing clean and textured bass that avoids overwhelming the midrange. Its midrange presentation is...

Vision Ears VE8

• Crin: Extremely coherent signature with a pleasing tuning and high technicalities.
• Precogvision: The warm IEM of warm IEMs. Carried by its excellent midrange.

Softears RS10

• Gizaudio Axel: I prefer more bass.  Great tuning with forward vocals and excellent detail.  Unvented design, BA bass, and can be slightly shouty on some tracks.
• Crin: A little shouty and intense but very resolving and well-defined. A somewhat refined Moondrop S8.
• Jaytiss: Nice iem, clean clear out of the box
• Precogvision: A slightly more resolving S8 at the expense of added grittiness and more upper-midrange.
• Tim Tuned:  BA timbre

Softears Cerberus

• Gizaudio Axel:  Darkish treble.
• Crin: Lacking definition in the treble, otherwise a decently balanced tribrid IEM.
• Precogvision: Dissapointing lack of treble extension and very weak bass (literally sounds more BA than it does DD).

Flipears Aurora

• Shuwa-T:  Bass hits with real subwoofer qualities, generally balanced sounding with no real faults  Extremely difficult to obtain

Craft Ears Omnium

• Jaytiss: Dark Rich, fun beautiful.

64 Audio U12t

• Jays Audio: TOTL tech. Mid-scoop can affect mids/vocal texture and placement, recessed midrange, treble is harsh at high volumes. Great bass detail, but could be punchier.
• Crin: Amazing bass (for a BA), top-tier resolution and detail-oriented signature.
• Jaytiss: Just Smooth and nice, great all arounder with smooth technicals, but too boring.
• Precogvision: Terrific dynamic range and soundstage depth; the closest I have heard to a two-channel system in an IEM for these qualities.
• Tim Tuned:  Extremely versatile signature, great bass and details  Potentially too safe tuning wise
• Smirk Audio: Good resolution and dynamics with great imaging. Smooth, slightly recessed upper-mids with an upper treble peak.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Really clean sounding monitor with excellent technical aspects.  Bass texture, superb clarity  Can sound too sterile
• Nymz: As good as it gets. Great tuning and techs. Best set I've heard to date. Closest thing to speakers. Love it.

Final Audio A8000

• Crin: Technically strong but going too far with the treble emphasis.
• Precogvision: Ear piercing upper-midrange and treble response. Decent technicalities, but a far cry from the Dunu Luna.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Final's best IEM.  Massive soundstage backed by superb clarity, Japanese tuning style  Intense treble region

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.
• Super* Review: I'm really tempted to go out and buy one of this things for myself - if it fit me even better, I probably would.
• Fresh Reviews: S tier for COD, borders A- for other titles
• Shuwa-T:  Deep bass despite all BA set, techs carry this set more than the overall tone  Treble is mushy for something with so many BAs, not for high frequency enjoyers

Oriolus Monachaa

• Jaytiss: Poor Value, I can't recomend it.
• Smirk Audio: Very nice bass and decent treble. Midrange timbre and decay sound off. Technicalities are average for its price range. Cons: Poor techs/price, vocal timbre off.

Unique Melody MEST Jet Black

• Jaytiss: Safe, clean iem.

Moondrop Psyche

• Jaytiss: Well at leas the faceplate is pretty.
• IEMRanking AI: The Moondrop Psyche impresses with a remarkably detailed and smooth treble response, thanks to its four miniature planar-magnetic drivers, which deliver lower distortion and a sense of **airiness**...

FatFreq Maestro SE

• Nymz: Good bass with neutral mids and treble, but sub-par techs for its price.

Vision Ears VE7

• Crin: Fairly inoffensive tuning with solid technicalities.
• Precogvision: Very pleasant tonal balance for the astute midrange connoisseur and solid technicalities.
• Shuwa-T:  Atypical VE tuning that leans bright, detailed and resolving without being overly sparkly

Unique Melody MEST MK3

• Jays Audio: A more neutral/slightly warm MEST MK2, less aggresive, easier to the ears, same technicalities. A little overpriced ngl.
• Gizaudio Axel: A safe tuning.  Holographic soundstage.  Relaxed upper mids and treble. Overall detail.

Fir Audio M4

• Crin: Too similar to the M3 to be worth the price markup.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Warm and lush midrange.  Soundstage is surprisingly wide, midrange focused tuning  Note definition is strangely subpar despite treble boost

Hidition NT8

• Crin: Coloured neutral kind of sound that works better with Asian genres.
• Precogvision: Lean and somewhat sharp sounding in typical Hidition fashion. Needs deep insertion to tame mid-treble.

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: Exceptional in every way.  Incredibly textured bass, forward vocals, top-tier EST treble, and insane detail.
• 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...

Unique Melody Maven II

• Jaytiss: I can see how others might like.
• IEMRanking AI: The Unique Melody Maven II delivers a balanced yet colored sound signature that excels across diverse genres. Its elevated bass offers deep rumble and punchy mid-bass without bleeding into the mids,...

Sony IER Z1R

• Jays Audio: Best of the best in most areas, but vocals and mids can be thin due to fit issues. Insane bass texture/detail and HUGE soundstage. One of the best trebles I've heard.
• Crin: Extended yet natural treble, realistic sub-bass focus and spacious imaging capabilities.
• Precogvision: Top-tier bass, treble, and soundstage height and width. I don't approve of the midrange these days.
• Tim Tuned:  Incredible extensions on both ends  Lower midrange
• Smirk Audio: Visceral, hard-hitting bass, sparkly treble, and a large, spherical soundstage with impressive height. Fit may pose a challenge for many. Cons: Poor fit.
• Shuwa-T:  Fun sounding without going overboard with the subbass, organic timbre  The fit is atrocious, treble can get spicy on hi-hats
• Nymz: Recessed mids I can't approved but best bass tactility I've heard. One of the best stage I've heard. Top of the class treble. Fit is a massive problem for most - one of those that needs to be demoed...

64 Audio Nio

• Crin: A decent bassy set with the m15/m20 modules, but really shines with the mX modules.
• Precogvision: Sub-bass oriented with a very warm, thick tonality. MX module cleans things up quite a bit.

Dunu Luna

• Crin: Needs more work on the tuning front.
• Precogvision: Top-tier dynamic contrast bottlenecked by peaky, rolled-off treble and other tonal quirks.

MMR Homunculus

• Crin: Not the worst thing out there, but also nothing special about it.
• Precogvision: Bloated bass, sucked out upper-midrange, and rolled-off treble.

Elysian Diva

• Gizaudio Axel: One of the best IEMs for vocals.  Dynamic driver-like bass, natural vocal reproduction, and an incredibly smooth tonality.  Could use a bit more mid-bass for my taste.
• Precogvision: Excellent BA bass and aggressive listen that maintains Elysian's house sound.
• Tim Tuned:  Addictive smooth, natural treble....top tier tuning overall  mid bass shy
• Smirk Audio: Forward, hyperpigmented vocals. Great tuning and solid techs. 3-way bass switch adds tuning versatility. An exciting listen. Cons: Build quality concerns.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Balanced sounding with bass volume switches, only gripe is MMCX connector.  Near perfect tuning, amazing bass response for BA and superb treble extension  It got outsourced for production and now the QC is looking shoddier
• Nymz: Did nothing to my soul, but did nothing wrong as well.

Empire Ears Valkyrie

• Crin: Lots of sub-bass with extremely thin mids. Adequate technicalities.
• Precogvision: Vibrant, intensive listen with some seriously awesome bass decay.

Empire Ears Valkyrie MK.II

• Precogvision: Sounds basically the same as the original Valkyrie.

Linsoul x HBB Jupiter

• Jaytiss: Great BASS, blarg trebble.
• IEMRanking AI: The Linsoul x HBB Jupiter delivers a powerful bass-forward signature with an 11dB sub-bass shelf that avoids bleeding into the mids, resulting in a warm yet articulate low end. Its hybrid driver...
• Shuwa-T:  Bass go boom boom  Because bass go boom boom so the highs go doom doom sometimes

Symphonium x Elise Audio Europa

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

EarSonics Stark

• Crin: Typical Earsonics house sound of "screwed up midrange", now with DD bass.
• Precogvision: Silly amounts of bass without the midrange and treble to balance it out properly.

Thieaudio v16 Divinity

• Precogvision: Nice BA bass and detail overall, but the upper-midrange is odd and treble sounds sort of dead.
• Tim Tuned:  Excellent across the board  Not special in one particular way
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Balanced with bass boost, can come across as slightly V.  Clarity and balanced tuning, very strong technical performance with little to no BA timbre  Not much airiness, which can create the impression of a not so wide soundstage

Sennheiser IE900

• Crin: Well-resolving DD IEM with excellent treble control, though with somewhat weak mid-high harmonics.
• Jaytiss: I don't get it, not even a little.
• Precogvision: Excelllent bass - simply excellent. Midrange could use some work, as could the generally average imaging chops.

Unique Melody MEST mkII

• Jays Audio: TOTL imaging chops/layering. Tons of micro-details. Bass texture and impact second probably only to the Z1R. Wide and 3D staging. AGGRESSIVE, and get fatiguing when cranked up/long-listening sessions.
• Crin: Pretty much the same as the Mk1, though with extra sub-bass presence.
• Precogvision: A warmer, more coherent MEST with setbacks in resolution and imaging.
• Tim Tuned:  Great balance, none offensive tuning with little to fault
• Fresh Reviews: One of my favorite for music
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Bassier Mest v1 with slight cutback in clarity.  Even more impressive bass response
• Nymz: Great bass and sheer detail, at the cost of wonky treble and not so accurate imaging queues. I find it work the best with eletronic music or modern metal. Still a solid contender to this date at a...

Campfire Solaris

• Crin: Similar (but not identical) upper midrange problems to the original, with added sibilance.
• Precogvision: Holographic imaging and some of the worst DD bass that I've heard.

Vision Ears VE6

• Crin: A little incoherent and could use more midrange evenness.
• Precogvision: See VE3, just less muffled sounding.

Effect Audio Axiom

• Precogvision: Good imaging, but the tonality is all sorts of borked.

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:  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)...

Tansio Mirai Spark

• Precogvision: Decent midrange microdynamics, but decidedly rolled-off, fatiguing treble kills potential.

qdc White Tiger

• Shuwa-T:  Midrange focused, niche tuning that does not sacrifice too much on clarity and ease of listening  Subbass roll off, has the softest presentation within the entire upper 25%

Fiio FX17

• Gizaudio Axel: Warm, non-fatiguing listen.  Punchy mid-bass, warm, lush mids, smooth, detailed treble, wide soundstage.  Warm sound signature may not suit everyone.
• Super* Review: This is the best IEM Fiio has ever made. Very powerfull sound.
• IEMRanking AI: The FiiO FX17 presents a complex tribrid driver configuration with 1 dynamic, 4 balanced armature, and 8 electrostatic drivers per side, housed in polished titanium shells that feel substantial yet...

qdc 8ss

• Crin: The neutral "studio monitor" of qdc's 8-series of IEMs, lacking a bit in overall extension.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Least bass of the higher-end qdc lineup.  Balanced sounding at all frequencies  Bass linearity will be boring to most

Softears Turii

• Crin: Resolving and fairly well-tuned dynamic-driver IEM.
• Precogvision: One of the more technically proficient single-DDs on the market.

See Audio Kaguya

• Crin: Somewhat mid-scooped, decent bass and treble extension though with underwhelming resolving ability.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Retuning fixed the wonky midrange.  Clean sounding with massive soundstage  Thinner lower-midrange

Craft Ears Aurum

• Precogvision: Somewhat strange treble tonality and generally could use some improvements for technicalities.

Fitear TG334

• Crin: Like the MH334 with quite a bit less treble
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Dark sounding iem, perfect for bass guitars.  Bass texture  Treble too smooth

64 Audio Solo

• Jaytiss: It's nice, but is planar and kinda dull.
• Precogvision: Warm and shimmery with excellent imaging. Dampening in the mid-treble elevates this above the standard planar IEM experience.
• Super* Review: This Planar lines up with the 64 Audio house sound. There are better options for Planars and this sound signature.

Fearless X Crinacle Dawn

• Precogvision: Excellent, pleasing tuning only held back by a lack of technicalities.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Clean midrange + excellent resolution. Cons: Not as dynamic bass.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: It's a good set but not my tuning preference.  Good bass definition, smooth treble and generally well balanced  Lower midrange not as forward as upper midrange

Empire Ears Hero

• Crin: Well-controlled bass emphasis with a less-well-controlled treble emphasis makes this hard to appreciate.
• Precogvision: Energetic sound signature with solid dynamics that's bottlenecked by an overzealous treble response.

Kumitate KL-REF Type-S

• Crin: Well tuned but unfortunately suffers from very odd timbre.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: They screwed up my CIEM :(.  Japanese style of tuning but less wonky, pronounced midrange but tamed treble

Dunu Glacier

• Jays Audio: Clean, balanced sound, clear vocals, great midrange and tech, would rec if not for the unit variance in the tuning, the unit I got sounds different than the earlier ones which was bass-boosted...
• Gizaudio Axel: Reveals every detail in your music, both the good and the bad.  Exceptional bass, ethereal treble, remarkable clarity, and outstanding detail.  The upper mid-range might be a bit too much for some people.
• Jaytiss: Upper mids kill it for me, but it's a fun set.
• Precogvision: Quite exciting and dynamic, possibly a bit bright in the treble.
• Tim Tuned:  Less thin harman with amazing tech  Not very natural timbre
• Super* Review: Convinces me that the harman target can sound excellent.
• IEMRanking AI: The Dunu Glacier delivers a technically impressive listening experience with its nine-driver tribrid setup (1DD+4BA+4EST). The stainless steel shells feel substantial yet remain comfortable for...
