T10 Pro

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.

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.

It's not a knock on IEMs. Just my personal experience. idk what it is but across my Moondrop Aria, Salnotes zero and 1 month of Artti T10s, I couldn't get much footsteps or real in game indicators of enemy whereabouts in ***Warzone***. Pulled out my 3 year old HyperX out of the dust and everything was more clear. But, my God , do i hate how hot these Headphones get (even with aftermarket pads) and I have to cool them down between games by holding it towards my fan Lol. still IEMs are my go to for everything else throughout the day, I just put up with the b/s headphones for Warzone. FWIW I believe they did design the audio of the game focused at the console market, i.e. 99.9% of them are using traditional headphones). side note: Fortnite is perfectly fine on IEMs fwiw. Played several years of tourneys on IEMs without worries. I think Warzone sound engine is just terrible.
