Falcon Ultra

Probably depends what you listen to, but I have ea500lm which are interesting but not really natural. I then bought the Dunu Falcon ultra To, which at the opposite of the spectrum. A little bit warm, natural, not demanding of perfect sound source. Very nice, my final choice.

Some additional comments and my view of some of these sets. Obviously we hear sets “a bit” differently. And in the end these sets are different and its depending on your music library and your prefs.  Here are my suggestions. The Meze Alba is an excellent set. Natural sounding with good enough treble amount especially for people who are treble sensitive. Bass is maybe average or slightly above but mids, vocals are as well pretty good to my ears. It is a more natural sounding set, not an extreme V-shaped or anything else. I can highly recommend it especially for smaller ears. Falcon Ultra can get a bit spicy, true, as well to my ears. At least on higher volume. Otherwise great set. NICEHCK Tears was mentioned, I think it is an excellent set and punches way above its price point in terms of coherence and natural replay. It does lack a bit low end though imo. Canpur Silver Flash is really good but has quite the low end which is too much for some. Fit can be hit or miss due to its "wing". I like the set a lot but I wouldn’t call it balanced. Tanchjim Nora is very good, too, especially when you are a little bit treble sensitive. It is natural slightly relaxed leaning set with great vocals, good enough bass for most genres while having good detail retrieval and nice treble without sounding splashy. The vocals are great on this set without the shout. It might be too boring if you want a lot of treble energy and not sufficient if you are a basshead though. Nora is excellent in comfort and fit but most single DDs are except maybe the Canpur Flash with its "wing".

Dunu falcon ultra, sennheiser ie line up, and let shuoer cadenza 4. I have small ears and all these fit like a dream.

I started with just about one of every KZ ~$20-$30 flavor (ie Single DD , Hybrid, Planar, etc.) then used them to learn what I like. In a short time discovered that the mid-range is actually VERY important to me lol.. now I chase more of a W shaped tuning among other things. To me the price-to-performance ratio "sweet spot" seems to be around $150-$300 ⚙️ MY GEAR ⚙️ DAPs: Hiby R4 Hiby R1 Classic Zune 30 (great for impedance mismatch pairing) Over Ear: Fiio FT1 Hifiman Edition XS (V shaped EQ monster) Phillips X2HR (Zune pairing - bloom fills in V) Current IEMs: Letshuoer Astralis Dunu Falcon Ultra (Zune pairing) 7hz Zero 2 Artti R1 On Order: Tansio Mirai X 10th AE Tansio Mirai - TSMR Armor ISN Audio Neo 5 Sivga Que Need to liquidate: KZ Duonic Evolving Wishlist: Penon Quattro FATfreq x HBB Deuce ZiiGaat x Jay's Estrella Erand Resonance 5 Sound Rhyme SR5S ZiiGaat Doscinco Previously owned: KZ Saga KZ Decet (standard) GK Kunten KZ PRX KZ ZS12 Pro X Kiwiears Atruva Fiio JT3 Fiio JT7 TIPS TO USE: •Divinus Velvet - Letshuoer Astralis •Dunu Candy - Dunu Falcon •Hiby WG01 - Artti R1 •Dunu S&S - ?
