Best Neutral IEMs

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.
• Jaytiss: It's a ramped up Truthear Pure.
• Super* Review: This is the best IEM Fiio has ever made. Very powerfull sound.
• Web Search: The FiiO FX17 is a 13-driver tribrid with a 10 mm lithium-magnesium DD, four custom Knowles BAs, and eight Sonion ESTs in a five-way crossover, housed in a polished titanium shell. It’s rated at 16...

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.
• Web Search: 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....

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
• Smirk Audio: Well-textured, satisfying bass. Vocal timbre is slightly off. Upper-treble peak can get a little hot. Cons: Unnatural vocal timbre.
• Fresh Reviews: Great IEM but massive price
• Z-Reviews: The 64 Audio Volür shows up as a $2,500 showpiece: a 10-driver monster with dual dynamic woofers and a pile of balanced armatures, wrapped in a shell that actually looks as expensive as the...
• Head-Fi.org: 3 community members have rated the 64 Audio Volur at an average of 4.7/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Exceptional.

BGVP Solomon

• Web Search: The BGVP Solomon is a quad-brid IEM with a complex 2DD+3BA+2EST+2BCD driver array, low 7.3 Ω impedance, and 110.8 dB sensitivity, indicating easy drivability but potential source-noise audibility....
• Fox Told Me So: BGVP Solomon packs 9 drivers—2 DD, 3 BA, 2 EST, and 2 BCD—into a bold, energetic tuning. Bass is moderate in quantity but tight, fast, and clean, focusing on speed over slam. No bleed, no extra...
• Head-Fi.org: 5 community members have rated the BGVP SOLOMON at an average of 4.8/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Exceptional.

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.
• Web Search: 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.
• Head-Fi.org: 7 community members have rated the FatFreq Grand Maestro at an average of 5.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Masterpiece.

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 naturally weighted. No BA...
• 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.
• Web Search: 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...
• Z-Reviews: Letshuoer Cadenza 12 goes full flagship spectacle: a 12-driver per side build (1 dynamic + 11 BA from Knowles/Sonion ), six-way crossover , and heavy metal shells that feel like a prize out of a...
• Head-Fi.org: 18 community members have rated the LETSHUOER Cadenza 12 at an average of 4.6/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• Yifang:  Tonally excellent with good technicalities, works as an all-rounder. Bass quality is unexpectedly standout and fanastic. Lower price compared to competitors in bracket and is "value" in the high end IEMs.  Requires source/cable/tip rolling to improve on tone and technicalities, otherwise can come off as somewhat bright and lacking in bass quantity, and/or technically behind other good sets priced above it.

Quill Acoustics Satin

• Head-Fi.org: 4 community members have rated the Quill Acoustics Satin at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.

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....
• Gizaudio Axel: Neutral-bright tuning with natural midrange tone. Vocal-focused with realistic timbre.  Natural, lifelike mids and vocals. Refined treble with air and clarity. Good technicalities.  Light BA bass. Unvented design. Upper treble may bother those who are extra sensitive to treble.
• 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:  Vocal magic, midrange and upper mids are crystal clear while never being too technical  Both sub and midbass presence is less than normal which makes this more genre specific, not particularly suited for bass heavy genres
• Z-Reviews: Letshuoer Mystic 8 leans hard into “flagship” theatrics: a cat-themed shell, a fancy case with a suction-seal lid, and even bonus jewelry in the box—plus a tray of 18 silicone tips . The...
• Bad Guy Good Audio: Eight balanced armatures (4 Sonion, 4 Knowles) and a lighter, more comfortable fit give the Letshuoer Mystic 8 a strong first impression. The frequency response shows sub-bass priority over...
• Head-Fi.org: 22 community members have rated the LETSHUOER Mystic 8 at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• Paul Wasabii: Neutral, precise 8-BA set with spectacular mids and natural treble; a relaxed bass shelf limits impact for rock/EDM.  Transparent, mid-centric neutrality with expressive vocals, black background, and natural treble.  Relaxed bass shelf with limited tactility and shallower stage depth reduces engagement on bass-driven genres.

Tigerism Dragonfly

• Web Search: The Tigerism Dragonfly is a flagship all-BA design built from 904L stainless steel with a hand-applied pure-silver faceplate and gold plating. It uses 16 BA drivers (Knowles SWFK/DWFK + Sonion...
• Paul Wasabii: High-end 16BA set with smooth neutral-natural tuning, standout mids and excellent resolution, but upper-treble energy and an early upper-mid rise can affect stage balance. Shines with well-recorded...  Neutral-natural tuning with outstanding mids, high resolution and BA speed; great with well-recorded vocal, acoustic and jazz.  Upper-treble energy and an early upper-mid rise can disturb stage balance at volume, and BA bass lacks visceral slam for pop.

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...
• Head-Fi.org: 6 community members have rated the Elysian Diva at an average of 4.2/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.
• ATechReviews: Elysian Diva 2023 is a high end 6 BA flagship with magical midrange, smooth yet detailed treble and a wide immersive stage that stays very forgiving even with harsh recordings. Only slightly light...  Exceptional vocal focused tuning with natural mids, refined non fatiguing treble, high quality BA bass, wide immersive stage and a very forgiving yet still highly detailed presentation.  Mid bass could use a few decibels more for bass heavy genres, the Pentagon connector limits easy cable rolling and the price keeps it firmly in the top tier bracket.
• Audio-In Reviews: Ultra high end neutral with sub bass boost monitor delivering phenomenal BA bass, smooth yet highly detailed mids and treble, and technical performance that challenges endgame peers. Minor drawbacks...  Reference grade neutral tuning with outstanding BA bass, natural mids and treble, and top tier soundstage, detail and imaging.  Large shells and uncommon Pentaconn connectors can limit fit and cable rolling, and some listeners may wish for slightly more mid bass warmth.

Symphonium Audio Helios SE

• Super* Review: Symphonium Audio’s collaboration with Elise Audio turns the original Helios into a more wearable Helios SE without rewriting its sonics. The shell is smaller , cleaner-looking, and finished in...
• Z-Reviews: Limited to 50 units and co-signed with Elise Audio , Helios SE shows up as a 4BA oddball with a vibe: ultra-relaxed, non-aggressive , almost like every track sits one gain click lower than...

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...
• Head-Fi.org: 4 community members have rated the 64 Audio U4s at an average of 4.3/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Excellent.

Dunu 142

• Jaytiss: Rich Bass, clean mids, detailed upper air. Lovely set.
• Web Search: The DUNU DN142 is a seven-driver tribrid IEM built around a 1DD + 4BA + 2 micro-planar configuration, positioned at roughly $249 MSRP in the mid-fi segment. The lightweight 3D-printed resin shells...

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: Build & package: Both arrive with the same tips, case, and box , but the Hype 10 adds an interchangeable 3.5/2.5/4.4 mm cable . The shells differ in size— Hype 4 is smaller—while the Hype...
• Shuwa-T:  Rather similarly tuned to the Hype 4, which is regarded as a mini Monarch 3
• Z-Reviews: $900 tribrid with a naming twist: despite the “10,” it’s a 12-driver stack— 2x dynamic for the lows and 10x BA for the rest—tuned to feel like a single DD done right. It’s easy to...
• Head-Fi.org: One community member has rated the ThieAudio Hype 10 at an average of 4.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.

BGVP DM9

• Head-Fi.org: 4 community members have rated the BGVP DM9 at an average of 4.3/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Excellent.

NF Acous NE4

• Web Search: The NF Acous/Audio NE4 Evolution is a modular all-BA IEM built around four Knowles drivers (22955 + 29689 + 31736 composite) and three swappable frequency-divider faceplates—Pop (red), Reference...
• Paul Wasabii: NF Acoustics NE4 combines a clever swappable faceplate crossover system with a refined reference BA tuning, but its 749 dollar price feels high in the 2024 market.  Innovative swappable faceplate crossover system with a balanced reference tuning that delivers clear mids, smooth extended treble and an open stage.  High asking price around 749 dollars and the non reference plates either overemphasize bass or thin out the low end and stage.

Ziigaat Horizon

• Jays Audio: "Meta" inspired tuning, basically a slightly more detailed Astral with smoother treble and less sub-bass. Less aggressive/in your face vs Astrals. Great details and tech for the price, bright-leaning.
• Jaytiss: Treble is really nice and clean. A special set.
• Super* Review: Arguably the best in this series so far, it delivers a neutral, transparent midrange, a sub-bass tilt, strong imaging, and a surprisingly dense, engaging presentation. Caveats: a gritty upper treble...
• Web Search: Ziigaat Horizon is a tribrid IEM that combines 1DD + 2BA + 2 planar drivers, positioned at an MSRP of $329; this configuration aims to split bass, mids, and treble duties across specialized...
• Fresh Reviews: Ziigaat Horizon arrives as a striking tri-brid in the ~$300 bracket (1DD + 2BA + 2 planar) with a tuning that brushes close to Kiwi Ears Astral yet comes across a touch thinner and more ...
• Z-Reviews: Ziigaat’s Horizon goes for a flashy tribrid recipe— 1×10 mm bio-dynamic for slam, 2×BA for mids, and dual planar treble up top—wrapped in pretty shells and “horizon” art. Street...
• Head-Fi.org: 14 community members have rated the ZiiGaat Horizon at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• Paul Wasabii: Crisp, highly resolving tribrid with standout imaging and treble reach; stock tuning is light on mid-bass and can show some sibilance.  Excellent imaging and treble extension with clean, coherent hybrid speed.  Mid-bass dip reduces body and occasional sibilance around 8 kHz.
• ATechReviews: ZiiGaat Horizon combines a clean, neutral leaning tuning with natural vocals, textured sub bass and airy treble, backed by strong technical performance for its price. Upper treble can be bright for...  Clean, detailed tuning with natural mids, textured sub bass, airy treble and excellent technical performance for the price.  Boosted upper treble can sound bright for sensitive listeners and the neutral bass quantity will not please bass heads or fans of much warmer signatures.

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.
• Head-Fi.org: 12 community members have rated the Oriveti OH700VB at an average of 4.6/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.

Goldplanar GL-AMT16

Hidition Viento

• Crin: Best-in-class tuning and tonal balance with near-perfect coherency. Recommended as a custom-fit.
• Precogvision: Reference-lean tuning with strong upper mids and mid-treble; superb microdynamics but average imaging and a finicky deep-fit nozzle. The CIEM version reportedly fixes some of these issues.  Excellent microdynamic contrast that makes low-level nuances pop.  Lean note weight with mid-treble ring and an uncomfortable long nozzle, plus average imaging versus its peers.

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.

Moondrop Blessing 3 Aqua

• Jaytiss: Great balance, really enjoyable.

Softears Studio 4

• Jays Audio: "Correct" and neutral tuning. Natural vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is same/not as warm.
• Gizaudio Axel: A benchmark for tonality and timbre.  Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation.  Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone.
• 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:  Just great all around, balance with amazingly clean midrange
• Super* Review: Softears Studio 4 arrives as a 4×BA set at $450 with a surprisingly practical kit: a Pelican-style water-resistant case , cleaning brush, MoonDrop-style tips, and—occasionally—a 3.5 mm...
• Head-Fi.org: 15 community members have rated the Softears Studio 4 at an average of 4.6/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• ATechReviews: Extremely neutral and realistic monitor with outstanding mids, treble and isolation that make it equally at home for studio work and everyday listening. Only the BA bass texture and slam fall short...  Pros: Reference grade neutral tuning with realistic treble, excellent isolation, imaging and separation that make it a superb studio style and everyday monitor.  Cons: BA bass lacks the texture, slam and note weight of a good dynamic driver, leaving the lower mids a bit lean for listeners who want more warmth and impact.

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
• Web Search: 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

• Head-Fi.org: 4 community members have rated the Yanyin Canon Pro at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• Paul Wasabii: BA-forward hybrid with clean mids, strong imaging and smooth upper-treble roll-off; pairs best with warmer sources at moderate volume. Capable and technical, but pricey next to safer, bass-heavier...  Clean, mid-centric clarity with strong imaging, high resolution and well-controlled treble that preserves separation and layering.  Persistent mid-bass tuck and earlier ear-gain reduce warmth and stage depth, and the $400 price feels steep versus cheaper all-rounders.

Empire Ears ESR Mk2

• Crin: Possibly the most pleasant-sounding of the Empire Ears lineup with decent detailing to boot.
• Head-Fi.org: 3 community members have rated the Empire Ears ESR MKII at an average of 4.4/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Excellent.

Xenns Tea Pro

• Jays Audio: A more resolving Davinci, literally. The Tea magic is gone :( but it's now the most refined and well-balanced. It's the most bassy one with better low-end texture, heavier notes, more details, better...
• Gizaudio Axel:  Powerful bass with great slam, open sound, excellent imaging, and detail.  Treble is a bit bright.
• Jaytiss: Great set, but lacks slam for it's bass level at times.
• Tim Tuned: Xenns Tea Pro lands as an easy pick around $300 thanks to a natural, versatile tuning that blends tasteful fun with everyday usability. A gentle bass boost adds heft, slam, and definition...  Good warm-neutral tuning with enough details  Could use a bit more treble refinement
• Web Search: 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...
• Fresh Reviews: Really nice for the price - Premium Package

• Bad Guy Good Audio: Xenns Tea Pro lands as a confident mid-tier contender with a 2DD+6BA setup around $350–360 , going head-to-head with sets like DaVinci , Estrella , and Dusk . Sub-bass has real grunt—808...
• Audionotions: U-shaped tuned IEM with a lot of energy at both ends. Very visceral bass punch and very exciting treble/upper mids. I can see why this IEM is liked so much. But the bass and treble can both be very...
• Head-Fi.org: 9 community members have rated the Xenns Tea Pro at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• Paul Wasabii: Warm, smooth hybrid tuning with excellent sub bass control, natural mids and rare high volume scaling, trading a little top end sparkle and micro detail for a very pleasant and forgiving listen.  Beautifully tuned warm smooth hybrid with spot on sub bass control, rich mids, strong volume scaling and an easy going, fatigue free sound.  Conservative treble and a relaxed focus on technical fireworks mean treble heads and detail chasers may find the presentation too laid back for their taste.

• Audio-In Reviews: NiceHCK Himalaya is a well built and nicely accessorized single dynamic flagship with engaging, warm neutral tuning, but some midrange unnaturalness and merely decent detail hold it back in a very...  Excellent titanium build, modular cable and accessories with engaging bass and flexible nozzle based tuning options.  Upper mids can sound somewhat unnatural with limited detail for the price, a bit of bass bleed and overall performance that struggles to stand out against cheaper competitors.

Custom Art Fibae 7 Unlimited

• Crin: Neutral tuning with a more relaxed top end. Probably the best-tuned Custom Art.
• Precogvision: Excellent imaging and staging, but treble can be splashy due to too much upper-treble.
• Head-Fi.org: 2 community members have rated the Custom Art FIBAE 7 Unlimited at an average of 5.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Masterpiece.

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: Good for vocal lovers. Not ideal if you want a strong bass boost.  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.
• Jaytiss: Nice set, very clean and correctly energetic.
• Web Search: The MYER SLIIVO SL224 is an eight-driver hybrid built around 2DD+2BA+4 micro-planar units with a 36 Ω impedance and 108 dB sensitivity, positioned at an MSRP around $269.99 (often on sale near...
• Kois Archive: Rating: S- | Value: ⭐⭐⭐ | Gaming: 🎮🎮 | Comfort: 8  excellent mid treble focused set  can be shouty to some
• Audio-In Reviews: Vocal-focused set with strong treble detail, imaging and excellent build, but a leaner low end and thinner note weight make it less universally appealing than some similarly priced competitors.  Natural, forward vocals with excellent treble detail, strong imaging and a very comfortable, well-built shell plus a high-quality modular cable.  Sub-bass focused tuning with lean mid-bass and low mids can sound thin and lacks warmth compared to several cheaper and similarly priced alternatives.

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: A fun and exciting IEM.  Fun, bass-boosted sound with powerful bass, great treble extension, and clear vocals.  Treble can be overly crisp at times.
• 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.
• Super* Review: Great imaging and headstage. Width is outstanding. Even at 400 bucks it's outstanding in this pricerange.

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

Sony IER-M9

• Crin: Neutral tonality, highly coherent and decent detail pickup. The all-rounder of the IER lineup.
• Precogvision: Boring, but you won't find anything more well-rounded for the price. Exceptional timbre for a BA IEM.
• Tim Tuned:  Just great accross the board, nothing to fault  Not very special
• Audionotions: Nice note weight, very balanced, shockingly good at imaging held back by finicky fit and vacuum seal - fit issues can be resolved by changing tips though (for me the stock silicone LL tips eliminated...

• Paul Wasabii: Neutral-bright, low-volume–optimized tuning with airy treble and clean mids; technical and engaging. Accessories feel dated and the fit/nozzle could be refined.  Airy treble and clean, forward vocals deliver strong technical clarity at lower volumes.  Lean bass and limited stage depth reduce warmth and versatility.

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).
• Head-Fi.org: 3 community members have rated the SoftEars CERBERUS at an average of 4.7/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Exceptional.
• Yifang:  One of the most tonally neutral, argubly the most reference & "correct" sounding to exist. Competent technicalities.  Doesn't necessarily round super engaging or fun. Bass and extension is lacking in quantity. Technicalities fall short compared to certain competition in the modern market.
• Kois Archive: Rating: S | Value: ⭐ | Gaming: 🎮🎮 | Comfort: 9  best chill relaxed set. godlike soundstage  dark treble presentation. could be boring.
• ATechReviews: Cerberus combines a neutral dark tuning and huge, holographic staging with smooth, forgiving treble, but its subdued upper mids, limited shimmer and very sparse accessories make it feel overpriced...  Outstanding depth and width of soundstage with clean, cohesive tuning that works very well for busy rock, metal and EDM tracks while remaining highly forgiving.  Subdued treble, slightly recessed upper mids, modest bass quantity and minimal accessories make this very expensive set feel less exciting and less detailed than rival flagships.

• Paul Wasabii: Mids take center stage with a natural, polished treble; bass is tight but light, making it genre-dependent. A refined, more energetic twist on the EJ07 recipe at $360.  Emotive, textured mids with natural, polished treble and clean, fast bass.  5 dB bass shelf with a mid-bass dip makes it genre-limiting; stage leans intimate and it is source-picky.
• Audio-In Reviews: Dunu Vulkan 2 offers a neutral leaning tuning with strong technical performance, excellent build and a generous accessory set, but a somewhat leaner low end and upper tilt that will not fit every...  Excellent build, comfort and accessory set combined with neutral leaning tuning, natural mids and refined treble supported by above average technical performance.  Reduced lower mids and relaxed midbass make the presentation a bit top heavy and less punchy, so it is less ideal for rap or EDM and can feel less engaging than some competing sets.

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: I need more bass!  Forward vocals, super smooth treble.  Bass lacks weight, impact, and slam.

• Tim Tuned:  Almost dead neutral tuning in the best of ways  Lacks excitement, bass is alright

• Paul Wasabii: Meta-style hybrid with fuller mids, fun bass and relaxed treble that gives easygoing playback, but the strong sub-bass and laid-back top end make it sound a bit closed-in and less dynamic than other...  Fuller, non-shouty mids with fun sub-bass and relaxed treble make for very easygoing, broadly appealing playback.  Excess sub-bass, conservative treble and a variable stage leave the sound somewhat compressed, closed-in and less dynamic than other hybrids at this price.
• ATechReviews: Warm neutral meta tuned hybrid with powerful bass slam, smooth non fatiguing treble and natural timbre that make it an easy recommendation around 200 dollars.  Smooth warm neutral meta tuning with powerful bass impact, natural timbre, non fatiguing treble and very comfortable shells at an attractive 199 dollar price.  Technical performance and detail are behind brighter competitors like TruthEar Nova or Dunu Da Vinci, vocals are somewhat laid back, transients are on the softer side and there is mild driver flex.

• Shuwa-T: Comment: Slight retuning could bump this up.  Technicalities are solid, better staging and imaging compared to P5  The tuning has slight honkiness in the midrange

Thieaudio Clairvoyance

• Crin: Inoffensive, pleasant tuning specialising in extremely balanced tonality and bass control.
• Precogvision: A more pleasant, warmer Monarch with cutbacks in resolution.
• Tim Tuned:  Amazingly balanced tuning
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Subbass hump is real.  Balanced sounding across all frequencies

Thieaudio Oracle

• Jays Audio: Amazing airy and relaxing vocals. Sweet and gentle presentation. Clean, clear vocals - could be too balanced tho. Great separation, but stage size could be better.
• Crin: Functionally similar to the Clairvoyance with slight cutbacks in overall clarity and resolution.
• Jaytiss: Great iem for what it is. Really impressive.
• Precogvision: Pleasant tonality, but low-level detailing and compression.
• Tim Tuned:  Tuning so good it melts your soul (kinda)  treble wispiness + slight incoherent

Moondrop Blessing 3

• Jays Audio: Bright-neutral. Slight resolution bump over the B2 Dusk, but at the cost of weak bass and sharp 6K.
• Gizaudio Axel: Excellent resolution.  Neutral, vocal-focused sound with great treble extension and detail.  Light bass, can sound lean, thin and technical.
• Jaytiss: A little lean, but if you eq it's one of the best sets out there for the price.

Lime Ears Model X

• Shuwa-T: Comment: Switches didn't work on my demo unit.  Clean sounding monitor  Linear bass region gets overpowered by lower mids, very strong BA timbre

Dunu SA6

• Paul Wasabii: Vocal-leaning single-DD that returns to Tanchjim’s roots: crisp female vocals, lively treble and open stage, but bass/upper-mid contrast can sound inconsistent.  Energetic female vocals with good clarity, lightweight shell and open staging.  Upper-mid sharpening and a lowered sub-bass make transitions feel inconsistent, and smoother vocals can sound too edged.

Dunu SA6 mkII

• Jays Audio: V-shaped SA6 Ultra with more recessed mids and vocals. Sharper and more bass than SA6U but mids are buried in busier tracks.
• Gizaudio Axel: Similar to the SA6 Ultra but with more bass, airier treble, and improved soundstage and fit.  QDC Anole VX tuning, excellent resolution, and great bass with a practical bass switch.  Unvented design.
• Jaytiss: Technical, nice but upper mids not for me.
• Precogvision: A warmer rendition of the original SA6, best considered a side-grade than a true upgrade.
• Tim Tuned:  Slightly more V-shape than the Ultra with small detail boost  Could use a little more upper mids
• Nymz: A more refined SA6u, with the freedom to boost the bass even more and costing less. Less natural upper treble at the cost of that terrific extension.
• Audionotions: Like the Ultra, but slightly improved in all technicalities categories except for timbre where the Ultra takes the win because upper-mids/lower-treble are too dialed down for my tastes on the MK2. If...

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

• Paul Wasabii: Balanced, spacious single-DD with great tuning flexibility and price-appropriate performance; resolution is its weak spot. Prefer the DSP connector over the basic dongle for depth.  Versatile tuning (4-way switch, three labeled nozzles, and app-based DSP) with open stage, sharp imaging, and natural midrange.  Resolution and treble extension are modest, and the CS43198-style dongle flattens stage depth compared to the DSP connector.
• Audio-In Reviews: Neutral, versatile set with natural tonality, safe treble and lots of tuning options, but bass is relaxed and technical performance only average for the price.  Neutral, natural tonality with safe treble, solid dynamics and imaging plus generous accessories and extensive tuning options.  Bass is too relaxed with a slightly congested low midrange, average detail and soundstage, and there are stronger alternatives at a similar price.

DUNU Zen Pro

• Paul Wasabii: Neutral, timbre-first single DD with natural mids and pulled-back bass/treble; great for acoustic and slower tracks, less engaging for EDM. Stage is intimate and resolution is not the focus.  Natural, emotive mids with coherent neutral-neutral tuning; three nozzle lengths help fine-tune treble to ear geometry.  Upper-treble energy and sub-bass lift are restrained, making resolution, dynamics and stage feel smaller; heavy shells may challenge comfort for some users.

• Jays Audio: Good low-end impact and slam, but boomy/soft in the bass texture, the BCD has no effect in the low-end, more prominent in the uppermids/treble which can lead to some sharp/graininess/jaggity timbre....
• Gizaudio Axel: The BCD effect is awesome, but may not be for everyone.  Punchy bass, great mid-range texture, immersive soundstage, BCD that works, and excellent resolution.  Could use more sub-bass.
• Jaytiss: Nice set, kinda mellow.
• Head-Fi.org: 12 community members have rated the PULA Anvil at an average of 4.2/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.
• Audio-In Reviews: PULA Anvil 114 delivers a balanced yet dynamic and immersive tuning with punchy mid bass, strong vocal clarity and wide stage, but a lively upper treble and slightly less natural mids keep it just...  Punchy, textured mid bass with strong dynamics, clear vocals and energetic treble detail, combined with a wide immersive stage, unique stabilized wood faceplates and an excellent modular cable and accessory set.  Upper mids and treble can be a bit aggressive for sensitive listeners, mids are slightly less natural than some competitors, and imaging is only decent compared with the very best in class.

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:  Very niche relaxed tuning  Too compressed sounding for me
• Super* Review: Nice take on new-meta tuning. A little bit more relaxed but nice.
• Fresh Reviews: The Ziigaat Arcanis and Lush IEMs offer distinct flavors at their price points, both featuring resin builds with eye-catching faceplates— sparkly green for the Arcanis and silver-black for the...
• Audionotions: As of 4/21/25, these are my pick for best value in IEMs and also one of the best implementations of the JM21 meta. Everything sounds right. Bass quantity is just right with decent quality - there is...
• Head-Fi.org: 26 community members have rated the ZiiGaat Lush at an average of 4.3/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Excellent.
• Audio Amigo: A more expensive, better executed version of the Cinno. Super neutral tuning, recessed vocals, slightly boosted bass. Good as a studio set or reference set.
• Paul Wasabii: Neutral, studio flat hybrid with relaxed treble and clean mids. Great clarity but not for bassheads or trebleheads.  Studio accurate mids with revealing BA resolution and relaxed, fatigue free treble.  Mid bass dip and restrained treble reduce excitement and genre versatility; benefits from low impedance sources to keep tuning intact.

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: An engaging sound signature with good bass and natural mids.  Deep bass with strong impact, natural mids with good timbre, and smooth treble with great detail.  Lower treble can get a bit energetic, and upper treble lacks some air.
• Jaytiss: Mids are slightly cooked, but it's nice overall.
• Tim Tuned:  Mostly inoffensive bassy V-shape tuning  Lacking details
• Web Search: 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...
• Fresh Reviews: Borders B+
• Head-Fi.org: 29 community members have rated the KEFINE QUATIO at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
• Paul Wasabii: Bass-tilted, fatigue-free hybrid with excellent build and accessories; closer to Delci than Clean and priced appropriately around $130. Not a detail monster but coherent and easy to enjoy.  Excellent metal build and accessories with coherent, bass-friendly tuning that avoids fatigue.  Strong sub-bass masks lower mids and the safe upper treble reduces air, detail and overall technical performance.
• Audio-In Reviews: Kefine Quatio is a well-built, natural-sounding hybrid with engaging mids and tasteful bass, helped by flexible tuning filters and a strong cable/accessory pack, but its relaxed treble and stiff...  Natural, well-balanced tuning with standout mids, good bass quality, useful tuning nozzles and very solid build, cable and comfort for the price.  Upper treble is too relaxed with limited air and perceived detail, and there are several competing sets around this price that offer more excitement or better match most listeners’ preferences.

MiM Audio Dark Magician

Tipsy Dummer pro 4

• Web Search: The Tipsy Dunmer Pro 4 is a 4-driver hybrid IEM using 1DD+2BA+1 bone-conduction (passive) in a hand-painted resin shell; the official listing currently shows an MSRP of $499 and specifies upgraded...
• Paul Wasabii: Vocal-centric hybrid with bone conduction sub-bass and a 6.5 mm DD; stock tuning is bright and focused on vocals, but with modest EQ the drivers show strong technicalities and a more 3D stage. Pricey...  Smart hybrid driver configuration with clean bone-conduction sub-bass, detailed vocal region and good technical headroom when EQed.  Stock tuning is very upper-mid forward with a narrow central image unless EQ is applied, and the ~$400 price is steep.

Pears SH3

• Crin: Great detail pickup and solid all-rounder, perhaps a little strident.
• Shuwa-T:  Solid tuning overall with Japanese-level reference bass  Not the most realistic soundstage, can sound harsh at times with female vocals

Simgot EM6L

• Jays Audio: Great resolution and tech, one of the smoothest iems, but uppermids will get hot on energetic tracks at higher volumes. Slightly warm but also lively. Recent units are brighter than first batch.
• Jaytiss: A solid budget choice. Hard to think of a more neutral set than this.
• Super* Review: The Simgot EM6L is a $110 hybrid IEM with a single dynamic driver for the low end and four balanced armatures handling mids and treble, positioned as an entry-level multi-driver option that feels...
• Fresh Reviews: Can go to a B in some titles
• Z-Reviews: The Simgot EM6L comes in as a hybrid 1DD + 4BA set around the $110 mark, tuned toward a modern “2019” target curve that aims for a tasteful bump in the low end without murderously bright...
• Audio Amigo: The Original "Black Sheep" of the Simgot Family. Warmer and less bright than it's siblings, can still be fatiging for some. Imaging and soundstage are great. Nozzles can fall off with use, QDC...

Yanyin Canon

• Shuwa-T: Comment: Great option for anyone wanting tuning switches at an affordable mid-tier price.  Solid bass response, variable tuning switches at low price point  Driver flex but this may be anecdotal
• Head-Fi.org: 3 community members have rated the Yanyin Canon at an average of 4.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.

Hidition NT6

• Crin: If Etymotic made a multi-BA IEM, this would be the closest to that dream
• Precogvision: A Viento on steroids with not-so-desirable consequences. Lean and shrill.

Moondrop Illustrious

• Jays Audio: Basically the Softears Twilight with less sub-bass extension, alot more neutral and monitor like, and very pricy since Twilight goes on sale for $700 with a more musical playback. This is just...
• Gizaudio Axel: Open-back IEM with a mellow sound. Good for long listening but not for those seeking strong bass or high resolution.  Warm, full-bodied mids with natural timbre and safe treble.  Light bass with low sub-bass, lacking treble air and sparkle, and underwhelming detail.
• Jaytiss: Nice single DD, not a benchmark, but very nice.
• Precogvision: Sounds like it has metallic timbre. Percussino compression around 5kHz due to lack of treble extension and generally bad tuning.
• Super* Review: Sounds like an open-back IEM. It delivers on open design. Something to consider if you are looking for that.
• Paul Wasabii: Gorgeous shell and high end driver with a neutral bright tilt; stock upper mids and 5 kHz energy flatten the stage. With light EQ and some volume it comes very close to Twilight.  Stunning build and fit with superb vented bass shelf and rock ready mid bass.  Lower treble and 5 kHz emphasis flattens stage and needs volume or EQ; not ideal for sub bass heavy genres.

Rose Technics Star City 5 Pro

• Jaytiss: Great bass, upper mids are good.
• Head-Fi.org: 21 community members have rated the Rose Technics Star City 5 Pro at an average of 4.2/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.
• Audio Amigo: A slightly brighter Hexa, Includes Dongle DAC and hard case. Cool Looks. Slight Vocal Forwardness

Moondrop May

• Jaytiss: A very enjoyable listen, hard to fault at this price and design. Could be a winner for you.
• Super* Review: The May is the way to go if you have 80 bucks. Standard EQ sounds great. Nice low contrast neutral sound
• Web Search: The Moondrop May offers a convenient USB-C DSP cable with multiple EQ presets accessible via the Moondrop Link app, though the app suffers from connectivity issues and requires invasive permissions...
• Z-Reviews: Moondrop May shows up like a fashion accessory: smoked acrylic shells with that repeating clover motif, secure 2-pin sockets, and a surprisingly nice round case in the box. The stock 4-core cable...
• Head-Fi.org: 7 community members have rated the MOONDROP MAY at an average of 4.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.
• Audio Amigo: A DSP IEM that sounds fantastic with both the Default DSP cable, and a standard 3.5mm analog cable. Great build, good case, and the ability to change the tuning using the Moondrop Link App add up to...

Dunu Vulkan

• Jays Audio: Neutral bass glide, full mids, and decent treble extension. Some masking and not as technical vs blessing series, but better note-weight and timbre/tonality.
• Jaytiss: Solid iem, nice tonality but really not for Bassheads.
• Precogvision: Musical, slightly out-of-head presenation at the expense of blunted transients.
• Nymz: Good imaging chops and bass texture. Tonality is mostly fine but lacks some sharpeness to it, but a solid performer nonetheless. Great accessories.
• Head-Fi.org: 14 community members have rated the DUNU VULKAN at an average of 4.1/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.

Sony IER-M7

• Crin: Balanced across the board, though doesn't seem to excel in any particular area.
• Tim Tuned:  Very neutral tuning, great for audio work  Can be very boring
• Audionotions: Warm but not muddy. More dynamic than M9 but a slight step down in resolution and imaging. More fun to listen to than M9. Great build, great kit. Love it.

Etymotic EVO

• Precogvision: Slight improvements in staging over the ER series, but with setbacks in the treble response.
• Head-Fi.org: 12 community members have rated the Etymotic EVO at an average of 4.4/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Excellent.

qdc Dmagic

• Crin: Probably the best triple-DD IEM out there by virtue of not being a hot mess tonally.
• Head-Fi.org: One community member has rated the qdc DMagic at an average of 4.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.

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.

Sony XBA Z5

• Crin: All-rounder. Somewhat neutral both in FR and tonality.

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.
• Head-Fi.org: 31 community members have rated the LETSHUOER DZ4 at an average of 4.1/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.

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
• Head-Fi.org: 5 community members have rated the DITA Perpetua at an average of 4.6/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.

MIM Dark Magician

• Jays Audio: Weighted and airy vocals but with expansive staging. 3D/ball imaging. Coherency and dynamics are TOTL. Clear - details are "big"/forward, but can use better separation. Super immersive. Could use...
• Precogvision: Pleasant and smooth tonality; however, the DD being used does not seem very technical (for the price).
• Shuwa-T: Comment: Full-sounding note weight with proper bass layering, very coherent monitor.  Warm, "balanced" tuning that prioritises more midrange musicality, beautiful vocals, generally sounds coherent at all frequencies  Mediocre soundstage
• Nymz: Discontinued - new version isn't the same tuning. One of the best single DD sets you can buy. Micro detail level and bass texture are great for the tuning. Everything well done. Harder to get than...

Etymotic ER4XR

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

Juzear 41T

• Jaytiss: This is a colored sound, I don't like it but I can see how others might.
• Head-Fi.org: One community member has rated the JUZEAR 41T at an average of 4.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.

ROSESELSA QuietSea II

• Jaytiss: Fun set.
• Web Search: The ROSESELSA QuietSea II is a single-dynamic-driver (1DD) IEM built around a 10 mm diaphragm that combines a PEEK + carbon-copper dome and a dual-magnetic, dual-cavity motor. The brand highlights...

Xenns Mangird Tea 2

• Jays Audio: Slightly more technical version of the OG TEAs. Thumpier low end, and treble is more extended. Less forward presentation. Stage has more depth. Can't scale as well as OG. Vocals are not as "magical"...
• Precogvision: A little odd in some parts of the treble and detailing could use some work, but nothing offensive overall.
• Shuwa-T: Comment: A bass boosted Tea with improved clarity.  Easy-to-like tuning, with good technical performance to boot  Treble rolls off prematurely
• Nymz: A technical upgrade over the OG version, with more balanced tunning. Sub-bass is good but has more mid-bass now than OG. Treble also got a boost and less refined, but has better extension.

Flipears Aurora

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

Fosi Audio IM4

• Jaytiss: Nice impression, very audiophile tuned.
• Web Search: Fosi Audio’s IM4 is an unusual entry-level IEM that uses an open-back shell and a single 10 mm beryllium-coated dynamic driver, aiming for a more natural presentation than typical sealed designs....
• Z-Reviews: Quirky name aside, the Fosi Audio IM4 brings a 10 mm beryllium-coated single dynamic driver with a tuning that reads more cohesive, clean, and neutral than bass-bomber. Music floats with a great...
• Paul Wasabii: Fosi Audio IM4 is a warm, smooth open back single dynamic around 99 USD with rich bass, slightly more vivid vocals and non fatiguing lower treble. Stage and air are somewhat limited despite the open...  Warm, smooth tuning with rich bass, vivid vocals and non fatiguing treble in a comfortable open back aluminum shell with flush 2 pin cable.  Limited treble extension and only moderate stage size for an open back design, and the optional gold nozzle shifts emphasis into a less natural sounding region.

Tin Hifi P1 Plus

• Nymz: Needs EQ. After EQ is fine but other planars exist. Great choice if you love to play around with EQ and fit it to your target. Falls short to the newly arrived planar offers.
• Head-Fi.org: 9 community members have rated the Tin HiFi P1 Plus at an average of 4.1/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.
• Kois Archive: Rating: B+ | Value: ⭐ | Gaming: 🎮🎮 | Comfort: 8  extremely technical and fun planar  lots of air

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.

JVC x Drop FDX1

• Crin: Highly technical sound with a clean, well-tuned neutral signature.
• Precogvision: Good tonal balance and technicalities, but decay is truncated which results in etched timbre. Dynamics are also dull.
• Nymz: Metalic timbre with fast decay. A little more enphasis around 4.5k than I would like, but overall pleasent tuning. Very technical, just lacking some dynamics and treble refinement.
