Kz edc pro, Artti t10
oh ur good drivers for most of them are generally pretty similar just tuned diff. s12 pro, timeless 2, kiwi ears aether, even the cheaper artti t10
I got mine a few hours ago. First IEM and love it. Bass was non existent initially, got the fit right and came alive. Just using a normal dongle and im sure it will be even better with a proper dac and better tips. Clarity is just amazing!
For first IEM in your budget also agree on the Hexa. It is truly neutral, great definition and clarity, and has a somewhat more reasonably sized nozzle. However, it can be too analytical, and when I'm listening for fun, I rarely go for them. Fun and enjoyable to me is more the Defiant, Artti T10, and Zero Blue 2. I hear the Pure is nice for some, but it is warmer (more bass and lower midrange, less upper midrange/treble). For a first IEM that's lower cost, I like the Truthear Gate. Great soundstage on it, and it's one of the most comfortable iems I own. The Wan'er 2 also makes the list, especially the new emerald dragon edition, but the Gate just hits perfect for my ears.
Hi! I'm looking for suggestions, I recently got the Artti T10 and I really, really enjoy their sound. However, the little protrusion they have on the back (cable housing I guess?) makes them painful to wear for more than an hour or so; and their nozzle is kinda thick for my ear canals. For reference, I also have a pair of FiiO F9 Pro which I find very comfortable to wear for long periods, but they sound too dark and muddy compared to the T10. Are there any IEMs with a sound signature similar to the T10 but with smaller or more ergonomic housing and smaller nozzles? Preferably under US$200.
the zs pro 12 x is the successor of the kz zs 10 pro. They are good IEMs but the t10 is outperforming them. OP since you have a DAP you are able to feed enough energy to drive planar IEMs (t10) so my reco would be to get a T10 with 4.4mm cable, you won't regret it
