https://conceptkart.com/products/artti-t10-pro-planar-driver-iem?currency=INR&variant=42089178267722&stkn=d0ec0891a08e&utm_campaign=iemunder20000&utm_source=googlead&utm_medium=PM&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20588325088&gbraid=0AAAAABtUMOtDDr5y6stVxEivfhcUm0VG8&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz9XPytr0kwMVT8I8Ah2ZzR7TEAQYASABEgLS4_D_BwE These are pro version u can go for normal one also that is best it's depends on your budget
Um recommendation is good it's just that in starting people don't like planer but as they listen more they start to love it and arrti t10 is best for budget
Yep they are best for me I use with fiio ka 13
I don't think there gonna be a much difference as fiio ka 11 also is powerfull dac for any planer where u can improve in fiio ka 13 with a 4.4mm cable but can't do this in fiio ka11 but it's not something significant just but arrti t10 it's best planer for that range
Bhai, aise to batata hi reh jaunga. This is formatted with chat gpt, whatever iem you look, check what kind of tuning it has Here’s a simple breakdown of common IEM tuning shapes and what they’re good for: V-shaped: Boosted bass + treble, recessed mids. Fun, punchy, sparkly. Great for EDM/hip-hop, but vocals can feel a bit distant. U-shaped: Similar to V but less extreme. Still energetic but vocals stay clearer. Good all-rounder tuning. Neutral / Flat: Everything is balanced. Accurate and “true to recording,” but can sound a bit boring if you like excitement. Harman tuning: Slight bass boost, clean mids, controlled treble. Based on research by Harman. Very natural and widely liked—kind of a safe recommendation. Bass-head / L-shaped: Heavy bass focus. Lots of thump and rumble, but mids/treble take a back seat. Mid-forward: Mids (especially vocals) are emphasized. Great for vocal-heavy, acoustic, or classical music. Bright / Treble-focused: Boosted treble. Very detailed and crisp, but can get harsh or fatiguing. Quick tip: - Want fun → V/U shape - Want accuracy → Neutral - Want safe all-rounder → Harman - Want vocals → Mid-forward - Want detail → Bright (but be careful with fatigue)
Planar try kiye hai? I have artti t10, personal favourite but planars take some time to get used to them
Bhai planars are best for metal, rock or any music which has very fast moving instruments. They just bring sooo much detail, wide soundstage but can feel a bit off not natural but man the details, i could hear the cymbals moving clearly after hit in songs. They are that clear. And i think everyone in audiophilia should have one planar set. Maybe get one in future. And since you like classical songs, don’t get a boomy bass set, get something which has smooth tuning and vocal forward. Watch some videos for it
Thats not a good recommendation without explaining what planars are, i have t10, absolutely love them but i didnt like it at first, takes time to appreciate it and op will be using the next iem regularly as a daily driver. Not to mention need of good dac
What are your favorite parts of the Truthear Zero Reds? A step up to consider aside from the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro would be the ZiiGaat Crescent. They have all of the characteristics of the Xenns except what I found to be a bit of harshness in the higher frequencies for some songs. One thing I find that helps me look at and envision what an IEM might sound like, while comparing my own experience in listening to others and knowing the graphs, is what may come next or where I'm going to be happy. Here is an example for the two IEM I have mentioned. Please note who's graph this is so it helps when you view their reviews additionally on YouTube for example. Xenns Mangird Tea Pro v ZiiGaat Crescent https://preview.redd.it/69biu61xzrrf1.png?width=2314&format=png&auto=webp&s=9535b84c71291f1cb3a689fddd5826c8ca4482be
Now the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro v Arttis T10 Pro (I am testing these) and find them to be every bit as great as the Mangird Tea Pro and have less sibilance for $230 less. https://preview.redd.it/kcnxoaxu0srf1.png?width=2316&format=png&auto=webp&s=5eb5d9d6b95f17dd81e7cbc76bf4d003b12c9531 I'm not getting any sibilance in every genre I play and love these, though they are not exactly the prettiest of IEM, they sure do sound great. I'm also consistently using Dunu S&S eartips as they fit my ears best for a good seal and I'm getting a consistency with other IEM I have tried.
Paid $71 on Amazon, and after a few songs, boxed them up and sent them back. I had a very different experience with the T10 Pro. The construction is worth the $15 but no more, unless the version I got were counterfeit.
EM6L and Artii T10 pro are both very good options.
Definitely planar for hard rock and metal. So, S08 if you're treble sensitive. Otherwise get the S12 Pro. Arti T10 Pro is another great option. Or Nicehck F1 Pro if you want to spend less. Hearing good things about the 7hz Divine as well.
I like t10 pro but I have a small preference for PRX. I am tempted to buy something huge and stupid like timeless 2 or Shody P20...
I got the AM16 Bass edition, however I like my T10 Pro a lot better. Voices sound "unnatural" on the AM16 and the treble sometimes hurts. with some EQ though its sounds reasonably good for the price point.
So what's ur use scenario? My suggestion in general for whoever enter this hobby (it they care about gaming) is getting the Tripowin Vivace+ Azla asmr max tips (obbligatory with this iem) cus i think even up to 500 there is nothing (in game) that outperform by a huge margin this. So if u care about gaming u can choose this combo first and then also buy an iem where u can focus only on ur music preferences (+ having the Asmr max automatically open u the doors for every harsh treble iem, cus this can tame anything). And with 120 u can do something like: Vivace combo+ Kz Am16 bass (best Kz with Ba rn and pretty cheap on Ali, meanwhile the best DD from Kz is in their Kz Zenith that i put way above the Zero Red if the qc is good). Anyway my favorite iem under 50 are the Cadenza, i read someone above saying that the Zero red is overall better, but for me the Cadenza is way better than the Zero red (not in game) the timbre is of the Cadenza is better (Cadenza Berillium timbre is my favorite timbre even up to 300) and the bass hit more satisfing and that bump in the high give u an impression of high technicality and is pretty berable + they are way more comfortable (worst than the Red in gaming if u use the adapter and obv they have a worst final extension in the trebble as u can see in graphs) some people prefer the Kefine klean in this price range and overall can do more things (especially in gaming) but music wise i prefer Cadenza. So i covered the combos...now let's talk about the best all rounder/sets under 120 (sometimes with discount) Kiwi ears Airoso (incredible iem for music,for me the best, a direct upgrade from Cadenza, not the best in game but still usable) Kefine Delci Ae (great valuable iem) Simgot Ew300 (not great in game, but 🔥 music) Juzear Defiant (if the qc is good, pretty close level wise to the Airoso if not better for someone) Arti t10/t10 pro if u want to try planar Truthears Hexa (neutral and all rounder, exquisite, better than the Red, but can be boring) Simgot Em6L (great allrounder) Aful explorer (if u want to raise the volume, this is great, in game they kinda 🙃😅) Tanchjim Fission (best 1DD at this price) Idk if i forgot something but this should be pretty 😏. This is kinda it i think.
