DaVinci

For me it's in the ~$300 range. My ISN EBC80 do sound better than my Twilight-DS, but not by much. Maybe 10-15% better overall but more capricious when it comes to tips and cables. The BC, and EST are very tip and seal sensitive as well as anything that absorbs the vibrations. Have to sell a lot of my cables because they don't play nice with the EBC80. They're great, don't get me wrong. I love them, specially when I PEQ the sub bass and 20kHz region they are chef's miss when it comes to fun sounding and how amazing they are to listen. If I was short on cash I would probably would stick to the $300-$350 price range. I haven't listened to anything super expensive (above $1.5k USD), but seeing how shallow the jump is from KZ ZS10 Pro, 7Hz elua ultra, KZ Sonata, Dunu Davinci, Punch Audio Martilo, and the INAWAKEN Twilight-DS compared to the ISN EBC80 is how I came to my conclusion. I would say above price is driver configuration, and crossover implementation when it comes to sound quality. I feel like the only way to improve BA/DD hybrids is with EST and BCD. I feel within that technology there isn't a huge jump. I think that is why some people hear a dramatic jump in 1-2k IEMs. 

Dunu Davinci won me

My two favorite IEMs are the Aful Performer 5+2 and the Dunu DaVinci. Perhaps ask if either of these IEMs work well for metal.

The Dunu DaVinci is tuned very similarly to the Tea Pro. Both have a 6 kHz dip in the upper midrange to remove harshness in female vocals and to make the upper midrange sound a bit more relaxing. I have the DaVinci and the Performer 7 and both of these IEMs are endgame IEMs for me. The DaVinci has more bass than the P7. The P7 has a slightly early rise for the simulated pinna gain. I listen to the DaVinci when I want more bass and a more relaxing upper midrange. I listen to the P7 when I want a somewhat more energetic upper midrange. I pick one or the other to listen to depending on my mood and the genres which I want to listen to. So for me, the DaVinci and the P7 are somewhat yin and yang IEMs to each other. I like being able to pick up a pair of IEMs to listen to depending mostly on my mood. I have never looked at the iemrankings website until hearing about this website from your post, so I don't know what to make of this website. I can say that the P7 and the DaVinci are on a similar level but with differences. The Tea Pro is potentially the third endgame that I want since I think that its tuning will fit between the DaVinci and the P7. Although the P7 is really good and punches above its price, I find it hard to believe that the P7 is better than the Tea Pro.

I really liked the Hype 4. I have only had a chance to audition it during a live YouTube chat with Joyce. She auditioned all three of the Hype IEMs. The Hype 4 sounded to me like the best bang for the buck. This also was the general consensus. I also really like the white shell color which you chose to purchase since I realized that the metal flakes reflect the colors of surrounding objects. I currently have two favorite IEMs which are yin and yang pairs of IEMs. I really enjoy the Aful Performer 7 for its very nice details which require me to have an alert mind. Yet when I am tired, I prefer the Dunu DaVinci's relaxing sounding upper midrange which still has very nice details. Amazingly, I am able to enjoy the DaVinci's more intense yet still amazingly layered and textured bass even when I am tired. I really like your very simple question since your simple question can open up avenues for discussion, such as yin and yang IEMs, one of which is preferred during daytime, or another of which is preferred in the evening when being more tired.

I enjoyed seeing your photo of your collection. Which two IEMs in your collection do you like the most, and why? I am simply curious. The Aful Performer 7 currently is one of my two favorite IEMs. My other current favorite IEM is the Dunu DaVinci. I really like listening to the Performer 7 when I am wide awake such that I can really appreciate hearing the cleanly defined macro and micro details. The DaVinci also has well defined details, yet the tuning features a more relaxing upper midrange and more bass. I like listening to the DaVinci when I want to chill or when I am feeling tired. I also really like listening to my Aful Performer 5 since it sounds nice regardless of whether I am wide awake or tired. I think that the Performer 5 is nice to purchase when it is on sale for another $20 off. I have been dreaming of purchasing the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro since I am very pretty sure that the Tea Pro could very well be my all-in-one endgame IEM since I have read and watched numerous written and video reviews of the Tea Pro by reviewers who I really trust. These IEMs merely are suggestions for your consideration. You mentioned that you are in no rush to buy. It seems that the overall quality of IEMs has been exponentially improving the past few years in terms of the quality of the various types of drivers and in terms of tuning methods. It is likely that there will be at least a few new IEMs which may become available towards the end of this year and which everyone is suddenly raving about.

HiFiMan Ananda Stealth. It’s about 30% the cost of a Meze 109 Pro and frankly sounds a bit better to me. The build isn’t all that, but the sound was better than I expected. Also( the Dunu DaVinci. It’s probably my favorite IEM right now, full stop. I didn’t expect to love the sound as much. Close second: Thieaudio Hype 4 and Kiwi Ears Astral.

I own Tea Pro and Dunu Davinci, the DaVinci sound lo-fi compared to the Teas IMO. Much better subs and mid bass clarity Have not had issue Tea Pro they are just GOAT I reckon

As a fellow raw black metal enjoyer, I'd love to know as well. I've yet to find a pair of headphones (within my budget at least) that performs similar to the low-pinna iems I own - AFUL Explorer, DUNU Da Vinci, Final E5000 - as these have sound profiles I find to be perfect for black metal. Everything is too bright or anemic with little bass.

I love them. But I really don’t know if they are good for gaming. I am not gamer, I just play GTA online and I don’t use earphones I love the bass and the voices are great
