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

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...

Bad Guy Good Audio: Linsoul x HBB Jupiter aims straight for flagship territory: a warm-tilted, slam -capable set that keeps the mid-bass → mids transition impeccably tidy. There’s real shove at 55 Hz and...

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: Mega bass additiveness 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...
Fresh Reviews: Thieaudio Origin steps into the high end with a hybrid array— 1DD + 4BA + 2EST + bone conduction —that pushes a richly textured, holographic presentation. The soundstage is wide and deep ,...
Z-Reviews: Thieaudio Origin goes full mad-science: 1DD + 4BA + 2EST + bone conductor (eight drivers per side), big shells, hefty stock cable, and a tuning built around a ~12 dB sub-bass shelf . Fit can be a...

Nightjar Singularity

Smirk Audio: Rich bass with great overall tuning. Pleasant timbre. Resolution could be better. Treble could use more liveliness.
Nymz: One of the best basses ever inside a very small and comfortable shell. The rest of the tuning is still pristine but the technicalities are bottlenecked by the single DD.
Z-Reviews: Single 10 mm dynamic done right. Singularity hits with that coveted one-driver cohesion : a bright, energetic top end riding on subway-tunnel bass swell that feels physical without drowning the...
Audionotions: I fully expected these to be an overwhelmingly bass heavy set but instead got something quite different. Singularity bass is boomy and somewhat pillowy, extending deep and with almost atmospheric...

FlipEars Legion

Jays Audio: Fun and bassy, v-shape, great low-end slam and texture, full, rumbly, solid tech imaging, and cool faceplate... but price is a bit high.
Jaytiss: What this does well, it does very well. Fun set.
IEMRanking AI: The FlipEars Legion makes a commanding entrance with its striking Roman legionnaire-inspired design, featuring jewelry-cast rose-plated brass faceplates hand-painted by master artisans in Bulacan,...

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: Great basshead set with strong technical chops. Great value, fun, and engaging without sacrificing clarity. 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.
Jaytiss: BASS
Tim Tuned: Strong bass, fun overall 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...
Z-Reviews: The Punch Audio Martilo shows up screaming BASSHEAD on the box, but the tuning is smarter than that. A hybrid stack— 2×8 mm DD + 2×BA + 1 planar —delivers bass that hits when the track calls...

Hisenior Mega5-EST +Bass

Jays Audio: The Mega5est 7th but with more sub-bass. That's it. Does sound better now, more "musical" and less vanilla and boring. A good comforting and smooth listen that scales well. Bass texture isn't as good...
Gizaudio Axel: Great for bassheads or sub-bass lovers. Hisenior Mega5est with added sub-bass. The bass might be too much for some people.
Jaytiss: Smooth dark, and enjoyable.
