Best Neutral with Bass Boost IEMs

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: Subtonic STORM closes the list as the ultra-high-end, “one-and-done” pick—the kind of most expensive flagship that needs no hype because the name says it all. Chosen for a “ versatile ”...  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
• Bad Guy Good Audio: Subtonic STORM lands as a $5,200 flagship built around novel SLAM balanced-armature tech: the dual BA “subwoofer” and “woofer” are separated and crossed over independently, joined by a...  Technical excellence (accuracy). Near perfect tuning. Bass...great  Price. Wait.

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 is a flagship tribrid IEM using a 12-driver array (2DD+6BA+4EST) with a hybrid 5-way/4-way crossover and an aluminum shell; the package also includes a premium Effect Audio cable....

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
• Bad Guy Good Audio: Canpur CP622B is positioned as a true apex set among today’s ultra-high-end IEMs—think Storm, Grand Maestro, Pearl, Multiverse, RN6—where differences are subtle and taste-dependent, not...  Resolution and tactile slam with not ultra boosted bass. brilliant tuning. Tactility only shows under extreme bass hits between 50 and 100Hz. Not sure why? Otherwise very oudiophile replay of rhythm section

Campire Audio Clara Ti

• Smirk Audio: Muscular bass with large bass notes. Male vocal timbre slightly odd, female vocals are nice. Some vocal grain present. Decent overall techs. Cons: Buy the non-Ti version for $1k less.
• IEMRanking AI: Campfire Audio Clara Ti is the Titanium Launch Edition of Clara—limited to 50 units—with a 3D-printed titanium shell and an included 8-wire 4.4 mm cable; it retains the same sonic profile as the...

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 have more impact.
• 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
• Super* Review: The 64 Audio U12t lands exactly where its reputation suggests: a warm , laid-back , yet highly detailed all-rounder that stays engaging without ever turning fatiguing . With the apex M15 ...
• Smirk Audio: Good resolution and dynamics with great imaging. Smooth, slightly recessed upper-mids with an upper treble peak.
• IEMRanking AI: The 64 Audio U12t is a mature flagship-class UIEM built around twelve balanced armatures per side and the company’s tia (open-BA) and apex pressure-relief tech; it lists at $1,999. Module options...
• 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.
• Audionotions: Amazing separation and presentation, amazing bass that extends down low and hits pretty authoritavely (not just in the context of BA sets - very good quantity and quality). Pretty interesting 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.
• Super* Review: The tia Trio comes across as a hybrid with personality: rich, thick, and warm, with slightly forward treble that adds air without tipping into the harsher edge heard on the U18t. Vocals are ...
• 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...
• Audionotions: Phenomenal bass texture and quality. Mids are good if not great - I don't have much to nitpick about them - good note weight and excellent clarity. Treble is very sparkly and airy though some may...

Symphonium x Elise Audio Europa

• Jaytiss: One of the best things Elise and Symphonium have done. Love it.
• Precogvision: Slightly more tame than the Crimson but more well-rounded as a result. Something like a slightly refined U12t.

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
• Bad Guy Good Audio: Canpur’s CP74E steps in as the “just-under-flagship” sibling to the CP622B, packing 7 balanced armatures + 4 EST (11 drivers) and a neutral-warm tuning. The graph shows a tidy ~10 dB box ...

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

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

Softears RSV MK II

• Jays Audio: Bassy dynamic all-rounder with great low-end texture that slams hard with good note-weight/body. Slight Hype 4 upgrade. Treble is smooth, and vocals are well-tuned. Overall unboxing/accesories are...
• Jaytiss: So Softears didn't forget how to tune. Tactful Basshead
• Super* Review: A 5-BA successor that lands at $700, claims “re-engineered” BA bass, and feels like a welcome throwback to when high-end Chi-Fi wasn’t four figures. Build and fit are excellent with a...
• IEMRanking AI: The Softears RSV MK II refines the original RSV with an all-5BA design and a 4-way crossover, targeting a stable “reference sound” while improving driver control and airflow management. It’s...
• Fox Told Me So: The RSV MK2 still follows Softears’ signature approach: an all-BA design, specifically, five-BA configuration. The “V” stands for both its five-driver layout and its bold carbon-fiber faceplate...

64 Audio U4S

• Jaytiss: It's a solid set, with great build quality, but sonically isn't the specialist that I want it to be.
• Precogvision: Fantastic colored tonality with options, and the unique technical qualities to back it up. M12/M15 modules recommended.
• Super* Review: The 64 Audio U4s hits a compelling sweet spot: a 1DD+3BA hybrid around $1,100 that echoes the lush, bass-tilted character of the Nio while fixing key drawbacks. Packaging and accessories feel...
• Smirk Audio: A tastefully colored U12t with a more intimate soundstage, a cutback in technicalities, and more bass realism.
• Audionotions: A step down in techs from U12T (possibly a half step down from U6T). But very well tuned and adds in a dynamic driver punch. Timbre is slightly improved compared to U12T due to the increase in...

Campfire Audio Alien Brain

• Jaytiss: Nothing exceptional, but so basic and nice it's hard to not love.

Nicehck Rockies

• Jays Audio: Balanced, clean, airy, with a slight treble emphasis, good EST implementation, great overall package and accesories at the price. Similar to TOP PRO but with ESTs and not as vocal centric. Easy rec...
• Jaytiss: Trebble so nice. Feels faultless and amazing.
• Tim Tuned:  The Mega5EST but a slight bit more technical and bright
• Super* Review: The NiceHCK Rockies is a $500 tribrid (1DD+2BA+2EST) tuned almost identically to the Mega 5 EST but with slightly less bass and a touch more lower treble, yielding tighter bass and clearer separation...
• IEMRanking AI: The NiceHCK Rockies is a five-driver tribrid using 1DD + 2 Knowles BA + 2 Sonion EST in a resin shell with Pietersite stone faceplates. Specs list a detachable 0.78 mm 2-pin cable with swappable...
• Audionotions: My favorite take on the JM1 meta so far. Bass tuning is well done with adequate weight and punch - it's not standout but it will do the job. Silky smoooooth and rich mids with very good clarity....
• Fox Told Me So: NiceHCK Rockies is a tribrid (1DD + 2BA + 2EST) that rides the “golden formula” with a twist: output impedance matters—a lot. Driven from low-impedance sources, it delivers its intended tuning;...

Yu9 Que

• Jays Audio: An OG SA6 with a little more treble and low-end, but less mids, and even more pulled back vocals. Smooth listen, non-fatiguing, scales good, natural, but lacks dynamics and vocal extension. Reminds...
• Jaytiss: Clean neutral nice mids. This iem is dumb, just buy it.
• Precogvision: Exceptional tuning and treble refinement; sets the benchmark at $400.
• IEMRanking AI: The YU9 Que is a hybrid IEM using 1 dynamic driver + 3 balanced armatures, positioned in the mid-upper price tier with an MSRP around $399. Retail listings confirm the configuration (10 mm LF DD with...
• Audionotions: Personal Unit
• Fox Told Me So: YU9 Audio QUE is a $300 hybrid (1DD + 3BA) with a name rooted in Chinese culture—“阙” (QUE, palace), paired with a fish bone logo from “鱼” (YU, fish). Shells are aluminum with a...

Nostalgia Audio Tesseract

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

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.
• Audionotions: Fantastic, vocal foward signature. Excellent bass that has the speed of a BA with the impact of a DD. Incredibly clean mids and well extended treble. Imaging is fantastic on this set. Incredibly...

Oriolus Traillii Ti

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.

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: Outstanding tuning.  Smooth, balanced tuning with natural vocals, beautiful timbre, and excellent tonality.  Detail and could use more bass. Treble depends on ear tips.
• Crin: Thieaudio Monarch Mk2 stays a top-tier pick by balancing excellent tonality with solid, price-appropriate technicalities . The tuning sits close to the current meta , with a slight dip in the ...
• Jaytiss: Too much unit variation to recommend to others highly.
• Precogvision: A solid improvement in imaging with slightly more palatable tonality than its predecessor.
• Tim Tuned:  Cohesive, smooth, balanced, technical  slight treble wispiness
• Super* Review: Build & fit: Premium presentation with a handsome “lava” faceplate and a cloth-sheathed cable featuring swappable terminations —useful, but the connector is bulky enough to be unwieldy. The...
• Smirk Audio: Good treble with tons of air. Forward, ethereal mids. Good detail retrieval with tons of microdetails. Lackluster mid-bass.
• Shuwa-T:  Organic midrange  Wooly bass response and less prominent treble may not work best for certain genres
• Nymz: 11/10 mid-range. Mid-bass could use more texture and stage depth could be better. Yap, that's all. Oh and the fit - I'm blessed, but you may not be.

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.

Astell&Kern x Empire Ears NOVUS

• Smirk Audio: Excellent bass dynamics and texture. Cold timbre and driver flex. Otherwise excellent technicalities and solid tuning. Cons: Driver flex, cold timbre.
• Audionotions: Very engaging IEM. Bass extends deep and hits hard and fast, mids are clear and lush with very good weight and tactility. Treble is clear without fatigue. It's a pretty warm IEM but has clarity that...

Unique Melody MEST Indigo

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.
• Bad Guy Good Audio: It looks like the transcript content didn’t come through. I’ll still provide a concise, provisional summary in Bad Guy Good Audio–style based on well-known impressions of the Oriolus Traillii....  Pleasant tonaity, great detail retrieval  polite bass and stupid $$ for nothing evolutionary

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: A refined, genre-versatile all-rounder. One of the best in its price range.  Balanced tuning with clean bass, smooth vocal-forward mids, refined airy treble, and excellent detail and separation.
• Jaytiss: Has some odd warmth for me, but is great.
• Tim Tuned: The Xenns Top Pro stands as a significant evolution from its predecessors, bearing little resemblance to the original Top despite sharing a similar driver configuration. Its tuning aligns much more...  New meta tuning with boosted bass and upper treble  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 Mangird Top Pro is a 10-driver hybrid (2DD + 8BA) using a 4-way crossover and launches at an MSRP of $499. Headfonics details the allocation—dual dynamics for lows, Knowles BAs for mids,...
• Fresh Reviews: Best in Valorant out of the games tested
• Z-Reviews: Z-Reviews expresses immediate and strong enthusiasm for the Xenns Top Pro, a $500 IEM featuring a 10-driver configuration (8 balanced armatures + 2 dynamic drivers). He notes their exceptional ...
• Bad Guy Good Audio: Positioned at $500 , the Xenns Top Pro gets stacked against the Subtonic Storm at around $5,400 —a full 10× price gap that shouldn’t be glossed over. Level-matched listening shows the two...
• Audionotions: Excellent tuning. Jack of all trades. One of my favorite IEM releases of 2025. Great vocals, bright leaning treble that adds a bit more sparkle. Bass that extends deep and doesn't bleed. Could use a...

Hisenior Mega5-EST

• Jays Audio: New unit is better tuned/balanced, smooth, good all-rounder, and sounds like adjusted diffusefield.
• Gizaudio Axel: A "plain water" type sound signature with a bass boost.  Great tuning, neutral with bass boost, smooth, safe, and balanced.  Could use more detail, incisiveness, and excitement.
• Jaytiss: If you get the good tuning, this is way higher.
• Precogvision: Very bouncy bass but midrange sounds sucked out and has some oddity. Original sounds more coherent even if less exciting/detailed.
• Tim Tuned:  Exceptionally tuned across the board  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.
• IEMRanking AI: The Hisenior Mega5-EST is a tribrid with a 5-driver array—1DD+2BA+2EST—using a four-way network and triple bores; published specs list ~25 Ω impedance and ~105 dB sensitivity, making it easy to...
• Fresh Reviews: Great for music
• Shuwa-T:  Bass layering, treble detail are excellent; midrange leans neutral and focuses on clarity over musicality  It is not for people who seek addictive midrange or musical presentation
• Z-Reviews: Hisenior Mega5-EST (Anniversary Edition) hits with a rare mix of slam and finesse: a single DD + 2BA + 2EST that pours out a chest-pressing low end yet keeps the mids and treble startlingly ...
• Audionotions: Incredibly well tuned IEM that sounds very natural across all frequencies. Nothing inoffensive with good technical chops. Stage is not vast - but it is natural and has depth. Bass is full but it is...

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...
• Gizaudio Axel: Chill, relaxed, and detailed all-rounder.  Smooth, warm, and balanced with forward vocals and airy treble. Relaxed but still engaging.  BA Bass. Upper treble might be too much for some.
• Jaytiss: Great Midrange, Sense of realism that is very nice.
• IEMRanking AI: The ZiiGaat Luna delivers a studio-focused sound with its six balanced armature drivers per ear, combining dual Sonion 39AY008 subwoofers, dual Knowles 32873 midrange units, and dual Knowles 33518...
• Z-Reviews: The ZiiGaat Luna is an all-BA IEM that completely shatters expectations . Designed for studio engineers and stage performers, it delivers a tonally balanced , accurate, and precision-focused sound...

Symphonium Helios

• Precogvision: Great technicalities. Lacking that last leg of refinement in terms of coherency.
• Smirk Audio: Exceptional treble with solid bass. Great techs. Some may find the midrange a bit clinical. Fit will be a dealbreaker to some. Cons: Poor fit.
• Shuwa-T:  Clean-sounding monitor with great bass decay  Occasional splashy cymbals due to the treble extension
• Nymz: Top tier clarity and great technicalities, other than a hint of BA timbre plasticness to it. Mid-bass recession is the con in the tuning, turning it into a dry IEM. Top performer nonetheless.
• Z-Reviews: Positioned as a $1,100 4BA set with a proprietary “sub-woofer” armature, Helios promises consistency via FLAT (Filtered Linear Attenuation Tuning) . In practice, the claimed impedance ...

64 Audio U6T

• Jaytiss: Nice graph, but images weird for an iem of this cost.
• Precogvision: Warm, thick, and with excellent dynamics. U12t's tubby younger brother that could use more resolution.
• Audionotions: It's a step down from U12T in techs, yes, but it's still competitive in the price range. In exchange, tonality and timbre are much improved, which, IMO, is much more important. Imaging, separation,...

7th Acoustics Supernova

• Jays Audio: Super smoooth. TOTL dynamics and treble air - dunno how they managed this airy and smooth with only BAs. Very clean, no sharpness, or sudden peaks, endgame separation and detail. Only drawback is...
• Jaytiss: Natural king. Special iem at any price.
• Precogvision: Nearly immaculate tonality, coherency, and timbre with reasonably good technicalities.
• Super* Review: Hand-built in Indonesia with customizable abalone faceplates, Supernova feels like a boutique step up in value: a handsome, slightly medium-large shell, stable fit, strong isolation , and a...
• Smirk Audio: Rich, honeyed timbre. Well-tuned with solid techs. A very smooth listen. Could use better resolution and incisiveness.
• Shuwa-T:  Lovely midrange, vocal-centric set that never sounds fatiguing  Techs are not class leading
• Nymz: Made to order - 60 days. Brilliant tonality with technical support, just lacking the last hair of detail. Transient sharpness and decay are on point. You will be hard-pressed to find better under 1k.
• Z-Reviews: 7th Acoustic Supernova brings a 6BA setup at around $850 , dressed in pretty shells but a bit bulgy for the fit. Packaging quirks and micro-print gripes aside, the included Versus Audio cable...
• Audionotions: Some of the best timbre I've heard on an IEM to date with decent technicalities to match. Tonality is really good. Bass is neither too much nor too little - just enough to add the perfect amount of...

Aful Performer 5+2

• Jays Audio: Clean, balanced, neutral sound with good layering and tech. Relaxing vocals, but lacks power and last bit of vocal extension. Bass has good controll, but lacks impact. Has sizzly planar timbre in the...
• Gizaudio Axel: A detailed, engaging all-rounder that's exciting without being shouty or harsh.  Smooth, neutral tuning with a bass boost, excellent bass quality, clean mids, forward vocals, and sparkly, incisive treble. Great detail.  I wouldn’t change a thing.
• Jaytiss: My kind of neutral, improves a lot on my favorites.
• Super* Review: Overall it is sounding more visceral and incisive than the Performer 5.
• IEMRanking AI: The AFUL Performer 5+2 (also listed as “Performer 7”) uses a 2DD+4BA+1 micro planar driver array and AFUL’s LC-network crossover plus a 3D-printed acoustic tube system, aiming for clean band...
• Z-Reviews: Naming drama aside (P5+2? just call it Performer 7 ), this Aful packs a quirky driver party: 2DD for low end, 4 BA split across mids/treble, plus a tiny micro-planar for the highest sparkle,...
• Audionotions: Slightly warm leaning balanced - Very engaging, decent clarity. Hard to fault. Supercedes Performer8. Previously Owned

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.
• Super* Review: The 64 Audio Nio enters as the most affordable set in this lineup at $1,700 , a hybrid with 1DD + 8BA and swappable apex modules. Its core tonality is warm and a touch laid-back, with the ...

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...
• Fresh Reviews: Stronger in Fortnite and COD vs other titles
• Shuwa-T:  Midrange has a tinge of warmth, likely from the greater emphasis in lower mids  Bass definition and treble remains unrefined as with the Hype 2 and Hype 4

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

Ziigaat Odyssey

• Jays Audio: A warm/mini Subtonic Storm that scales better and fuller with less tech. A musical odyssey. High volume set, great scaling, a cleaner/midrange focused Explorer with better layering and detail. Takes...
• Gizaudio Axel: Fun and engaging tuning. It's like a more exciting version of the KE4.  Great bass, natural vocals that aren't shouty, and excellent treble extension.  The lower treble can be too much.
• Jaytiss: Great tune, upper trebble is kinda funky, but basically perfectly tuned.
• Tim Tuned: Ziigaat Odyssey takes the new Meta tuning and gives it a more V-shaped , exciting twist. It keeps the beautiful mid-range intact while adding extra energy to both bass and treble , landing...  Fantastic V-shape Meta Tuned  Could use a bit less mid-treble spiciness
• IEMRanking AI: The Ziigaat Odyssey offers a balanced take on the popular Meta tuning, emphasizing sub-bass rumble while maintaining a clean midrange. Its bass provides satisfying depth without bleeding into the...
• Fresh Reviews: Some titles B

Noble Fokus REX5 TWS

• IEMRanking AI: The Noble FoKus Rex5 delivers a detailed and resolving sound signature, leveraging its uncommon five-driver tribrid configuration (10mm dynamic driver for lows, three BAs for mids, and a 6mm planar...

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.

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: Lively V-shape sound signature.  Clean and controlled bass. Clear, forward vocals. Airy treble with good separation.  Upper treble can be too much for some.
• Jaytiss: Smoothe and clean set, one of the better Ziggatts.
• Tim Tuned: ZiiGaat Crescent arrives as a 2DD + 2BA hybrid with a noticeably nicer presentation: a flip-open box, a stylish faceplate (white “mountain” with a small crimson star), and a much-needed...  Kind of an Odyssey but spicer. Treble is surprisingly not grating  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...
• Z-Reviews: ZiiGaat's Crescent IEMs deliver a strikingly unique and luscious sound signature that stands out sharply from the crowd, especially within ZiiGaat's own lineup of similarly priced models...
• Bad Guy Good Audio: Tuning first : Crescent comes across as a “baby Top Pro” —the frequency response mirrors the ZiiGaat Zens Top Pro with a subtle lift through the lower mids (~ 300–500 Hz ) and a tucked...

INTUAURA Balance

• Jaytiss: Magistical balance, and sense of Space. Realy easy to love.
• IEMRanking AI: The INTUAURA Balance delivers a cohesive sound with well-controlled bass that avoids overwhelming the mids, while maintaining clarity in vocal reproduction. Its treble presentation is smooth and...

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

Dunu x Gizaudio Davinci

• Jays Audio: Warm leaning with thick, thumpy mid-bass that hits pretty deep and hard. Decent vocal and treble extension, although female vocals are warmer and huskier. Good for hiphop, rap, r&b, but low-end isn't...
• Gizaudio Axel:  Bass-boosted meta tuning with excellent detail and a grand sound.  Bass may be too much for some.
• Jaytiss: Bass kind of pops off in the worst way possible.
• Super* Review: A little bit too bassy. imaging is impressive. If you are looking for a bassy set with great imaging, this is a good option.
• Shuwa-T:  The warmest of the triple threat, with more tamed treble than the Pilgrim
• Audionotions: close but no cigar. Sounded great for most genres but bass guitars and kick drums and instruments/vocals that lie the in mid-bass/lower-mids range sound too recessed. Noteweight leans thin and...

Yanyin Canon Pro

• Jays Audio: Clean, neutral, balanced. Airy treble but smooth, great tech. Recommend UP UP switch with bass boost. A smoother pilgrim basically.
• Jaytiss: Great treble, really sweet.
• Super* Review: Not really stand out at the price range. Lack a bit of definition. Decent IEM
• IEMRanking AI: The Yanyin Canon Pro offers a versatile listening experience through its dual tuning switches, which provide three distinct bass profiles without affecting midrange or treble integrity. With both...
• Fresh Reviews: Border B

Crinear Daybreak

• Jays Audio: Here we go again. Very similar tuning as P50 and SL224. Less vocal centric vs P50s, but more bassy and all-rounded. Slightly slightly less technical than SL224.
• 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 is a tri-brid IEM built around a 5-driver array—1DD + 2BA + 2 micro-planar tweeters—with a moderate 20 Ω load and 105 dB/mW sensitivity, making it easy to drive from...
• Z-Reviews: The Crinacle Daybreak is a technically excellent IEM that offers exceptional clarity and detail retrieval without being fatiguing. Its five-driver configuration delivers a cohesive and precise...
• Audionotions: Slightly V-Shaped take on the JM-1 Meta. Some may find it a bit intense - especially in the upper treble, and perhaps the upper mids - it can sometimes border on being a tad shouty. Clean sounding...
• Fox Told Me So: What could you expect from JM-1? This is it. Crinear Daybreak's tuning follows the New Meta family with two quirks: a dip at 400 Hz that slightly thins male vocals, and a dip around 8 kHz that...

• Shuwa-T:  Warm with lovely mids that focuses on musicality over sheer technical performance  Somewhat middling technical performance that struggles with faster genres

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:  Exceptionally tuned, full range and detailed  Treble might be too much for some
• Shuwa-T: Comment: What Variations aspired to be.  Layered bass slam, full midrange  Lower treble gets a little hot, cymbal strikes too prominent
• Nymz: 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.
• Audionotions: Variation's more fun, twin sibling. Similar technical capabilities to Vari - resolution, instrument separation and imaging are great. Thicker, meatier note weight than Variations and better vocal...

Fatfreq Maestro SE

• Nymz: Good bass with neutral mids and treble, but sub-par techs for its price.
• Bad Guy Good Audio:  Thunderous bass. Proper midbass, brilliant trebs. 12 drivers  Female Vocals can sound un natural in some instances

See Audio Neo

• Crin: Well-balanced tonality with good resolution; emphasised bass with good control.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Impressive BA bass without odd timbre.  Full low end despite being an all BA set, energetic in the treble, V-shape done well  Soundstage could be slightly wider

Ziigaat Odyssey 2

• Jays Audio: Balanced all-rounder with a slight vocal/mid-centric presentation. Vocal scaler. Snappy/punchy/tight bass. A cleaner, smoother, and more mid-centric Odyssey aka no more bass sauce and bite. Rec with...
• Super* Review: The tonal balance is fantastic. Treble is sounding quite right. Default bass boost on a diffuse field / meta sound signature. I personally would save up for the Volume S
• IEMRanking AI: The Ziigaat Odyssey 2 is a hybrid 1DD+3BA IEM using a 10 mm bio-cellulose dynamic driver for lows and three Knowles armatures for mids/treble, housed in lightweight aluminum shells with a detachable...
• Fresh Reviews: Some titles B
• Audionotions: Top notch build quality - I love the metal shell. Linsoul should adopt this shell across the board. U-Shaped take on JM1 with bass lift contained to subbass region and some lower treble spice. Very,...

TANCHJIM x Effect Audio Force

• Gizaudio Axel: Mid-forward, neutral-bass sound signature. Not very versatile across genres.  Clean mids and forward vocals.  Light bass impact, upper mids can get intense, and average detail.
• 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...

ZiiGaat Arete x Fresh Reviews

• Gizaudio Axel: Great gaming IEM.  Clean sound, accurate mids, clear vocals, great soundstage, precise imaging.  Bass quality.
• Jaytiss: Fantastic simple tonality. Lacks in trebble extension but is a nice earphone.
• IEMRanking AI: The ZiiGaat Arete x Fresh Reviews IEM delivers a meticulously balanced tuning that excels for both music and competitive gaming. Its hybrid 1DD+4BA configuration produces deep, controlled sub-bass...
• Fresh Reviews: Collab IEM

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: Perfect for rock and metal.  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.
• Jaytiss: The mids still upset me, but it sounds magical.
• Super* Review: Relaxed upper mid-range. Vocals sound a little bit more forward than instruments. Smooth treble performance.
• Audionotions: Relaxed and fun. Easy to listen to. A bit darker than my preferrd signature but I enjoyed this quite a bit. Loaner

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:  Beautifully done tuning all around  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.
• IEMRanking AI: The EPZ P50 is a tribrid with a 10 mm dynamic driver, two balanced armatures, and two micro planar drivers, implemented in a semi-open back shell and a three-way crossover—an uncommon configuration...

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: Sounds is identical to the Timeless OG.  Clean, impactful bass, great detail, fast transients.  Upper mids are a bit intense, bright treble, planar timbre.
• Jaytiss: It's fine, but it's 230 dollars.
• Tim Tuned:  A good v-shape  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...

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: One of the best planar IEMs out there. The treble is smoother and easier on the ears than most planars.  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 some.
• 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
• IEMRanking AI: The Kiwi Ears Aether is a single-planar IEM built around a large 15.3 mm planar magnetic driver, housed in a vented resin shell with 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors. Official specs list 14 Ω impedance and...
• Fresh Reviews: Kiwi Ears Aether lands as a standout at the $150 mark: a single large planar driver in a comfy, 3D-printed resin shell that can be worn for 8+ hours without fuss. The faceplate looks premium,...
• Z-Reviews: Kiwi Ears Aether hits with a 15.3 mm planar that feels more like a compact headphone than an IEM—big, airy, and unapologetically wide. Bass is unmistakably planar-fast with real sub-bass ...

Yanyin Moonlight

• Jays Audio: Balanced, smooth, and clean presentation that scales beautifully with slightly forward/powerful vocals.
• Tim Tuned:  Great vocal centric signature & Imaging  a bit safe bass and treble wise
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Best tribrid around $600, addictive midrange.  Good detail retrieval backed by rich mids  Midbass light for some

inTime Miyabi Mk2

• Shuwa-T:  One of the best tuned bullet style IEMs, bass response and treble extension  Treble can come across piercing (cymbals harmonics)

Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk

• Jays Audio: Great resolution and separation. Vocals can sound recessed/thin, and is sibilant at higher volumes. Uneven and grainy treble. Clinical, thin, and not as musical as others sets.
• Tim Tuned: Pros: Very well tuned with great bass responsse.
• Smirk Audio: Great midrange with a natural timbre. Could use better bass and treble quality/extension. Mids may be too forward for some.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Bassier B2.  Extremely well tuned  Treble extension, slightly thinner mids
• Nymz: A slightly more refined B2 with more bass sub-bass elevation and better control on lower mid-range, with the cost of sounding thinner. (check B2)
• Audionotions: Close but no cigar. Sounded great for most genres but bass guitars and kick drums and instruments/vocals that lie the in mid-bass/lower-mids range sound too recessed. Noteweight leans thin and...

Kiwi Ears Quintet

• Jays Audio: Great tech and treble detail. Amazing performance to price value, but metallic timbre and peak can be an issue.
• Jaytiss: upper air drives me crazy.

Ice Labs Prismatica

• Jaytiss: WARM!
• Precogvision: Fairly palatable, musical sound with some tonal oddity in the midrange.

AFUL MagicOne

• 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...
• 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.

Mangird XENNS UP

• Jays Audio: Fast and clean bass but still rumbly and punchy. Beryllium DD baby. Well-seperated mids, and vocals still pop and aren't buried like other bass sets. Can use more treble extension (fixed with AZLA...
• Jaytiss: Highs on this set are very offputting.
• Tim Tuned:  Bass focus without over coloring. Smooth listen  Low energy, just okay note definition
• Shuwa-T:  Balanced sounding with good technicalities  A warmer, fuller-sounding, bassier Mangird Tea
• Nymz: The party starter. Very very warm, but fun. Different from anything else. Treble and mids somewhat ok even after all the warmth. Mid-bass is very good.
• Bad Guy Good Audio:  Guilty pleasures..love the slam, treble still fine. Beryllium baby!!

64 Audio U18S

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

Hidition NT6 Pro

• Crin: A V-shaped version of the NT6. The change in tuning kills the technical ability slightly
• Precogvision: Hidition's take on a V-shaped signature and one executed pretty well at that. Slightly too much lower-treble begets drier sound.

Fatfreq Maestro Mini

• Jays Audio: A basshead set that's actually well-balanced for the most part. Extension on uppermids/highs are good but can get shouty, sub-bass texture and slam is impactful and satisfying - this is the set for...
• Precogvision: Extreme basshead's dream. Incredible sub-bass shelf while maintaining midrange and treble balance.
• Tim Tuned:  Bass cannon with correct vocals and treble balance  Semi thin vocals
• Nymz: F*** you, bass. Default rec for bassheads.

7Hz Timeless AE

• Tim Tuned:  Slightly more balanced out Timeless  Metallic timbre
• IEMRanking AI: The 7Hz Timeless AE delivers a bass-forward tuning with a noticeable 2–3 dB lift in the low end compared to the original Timeless, giving tracks more rumble without feeling overblown . This...
• Nymz: A sub-bass boosted Timeless that keeps the techs and has a ever-so-slightly less grany treble.

Tangzu Zetian Wu

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

Yanyin x HBB Mahina

• Tim Tuned:  A more balanced Moonlight with better bass  a bit safe treble wise
• Nymz: Terriffic warm tuning only sinning by the lack of better bass dynamics. Treble is relaxed but "flat" with terrific extension. Works wonders for poorly recorded tracks.

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:  Very smooth and organic midrange, great treble  Lacking some bass dynamics
• Smirk Audio: Cons: Better options for the price.

Tanchjim Bunny

• Jaytiss: Cheesy name, good iem. You can buy on Amazon.
• IEMRanking AI: The Tanchjim Bunny offers a balanced, warm sound signature that works well across genres. Its bass is full and extends decently, though texture lacks refinement, while the midrange presents vocals...
• Z-Reviews: Tanchjim Bunny lands as a tiny, cute, ultra-cheap $20 brawler that punches way up. It’s a single dynamic with a clever acoustic maze back-chamber that keeps reflections in check, yielding...

Craft Ears Aurum

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

Fiio FH5

• Crin: Stellar bass response and decent technical ability, not much to fault.
• Precogvision: Easily the best Fiio IEM. Warm, pleasant tuning with decent detail.
• Shuwa-T:  Clarity improvement over the FH3
• Nymz: Discontinued. Stellar bass response. Treble and timbre are a bit off, but still a solid offer and not much else to complain about. Detail is enough to keep up with the tunning.

FiiO FH15

• Jaytiss: Not a fan. Lacks treble.

Fiio FH3

• Crin: Does come off as sort of a broken FH5, but the FH5 elements are mostly there.
• Jaytiss: Bass, but at what cost? Everything.
• Precogvision: Bloated bass and general congestion issues.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Bass boosted neutral tuning.  Narrow soundstage
• Nymz: My first IEM. Bad coherency and timbre. Good techs, bad tuning for my library. IMO, there are better and cheaper options out there.

Audiosense DT600

• Shuwa-T: Comment: It's hard to really recommend this.  Good technicalities, decent tuning with subbass boost
• Nymz: Monarch tuning on a BA set that needs adapters (30ohms) and mods. Mids are very recessed. I didn't liked it. Stay away from 80ohms/Stock. Some BA timbre.

qdc x FitEar Superior EX

• Precogvision: Lower half of tuning sounds extremely muddy, midrange is muffled, and treble lacks extension past 10kHz. Nothing superior about this.

64 Audio Duo

• Precogvision: Strong dynamics and easy-going signature that could use more detail in the midrange.

Tanchjim Zero Ultima

• IEMRanking AI: The Tanchjim Zero Ultima uses a single dynamic driver with a dual-chamber design (DMT 4 Ultra), rated at 30 Ω, 123 dB/Vrms sensitivity and a 10–48 kHz claimed response; build is very light and the...
• Z-Reviews: Tanchjim Zero Ultima comes in dirt-cheap and unapologetically simple: an attached 3.5 mm cable with inline mic, featherweight shells (~2.3 g), and hilariously oversized nozzles for such tiny...

Fiio FH5S

• Crin: Varying degrees of "V-shape". Sounds like a regression from the original.
• Jaytiss: Not for those that are sensitive to upper trebble.
• Precogvision: A worse FH5.
