ISN Audio - NEO 5

I'll do the NEO5. Bassy and sparkly at the same time, great mids as well. Perfect for your library plus it's a lot cheaper than the Variations which is kinda thin and not full bodied at all.

Not bright leaning iem but it has enough sparkle to make you enjoy your library. Soundstage is over rated with iems, if you want sound stage, get a full sized headphone. This one is not as wide but it’s the way i like it when it comes to my music.

I got the Kiwi Ears Punch last year and I have been loving them since! Great bass, both mid and sub bass, also great separation! I listen to mostly metal so they get the job done!  I had the ISN Neo 5s, I liked them alot especially vocals but they really only shined for music like rap/hip hop which i dont really listen to. Couldn't handle faster music like metal.  Also had the Deuces but the lack of midbass was a big flaw for me! They kicked ass for drum and bass and tech house though which are genres I also dabble in every now and then

I think the NEO5 is a great mid-tier IEM—fairly priced, not overhyped, and quite niche. I find its sound fun and warm, just as you described. Of course, it gets smoked by the Z1R, but that’s four to five times the price, so it’s understandable.

I know 5 Iems that are better and warmer and better bass and more musical !

QoA Adonis new … ISN NEO 3 .. ISN NEO 5 .. ISN H40 (the warmest) dark way more bass way more musical ! H40 is the widest sound stage in the line up . And my fav at the moment ISN EST80 . My preference is warm , bass , musical . I don’t care for details or clarity . Also you can make any IEM more warmer and more musical just by getting the CAYIN RU6 Dac . I can name more warm sets I have also but ones I named here are not expensive compared to my other warmer sets . But these I named are in my all time fav iems ! I don’t care for treble , details , clarity . So my whole collection is musical warm . Also a real cheap one is ISN H20 ! Maybe start with the H20 .

But what I named are better and Warmer, more musical and will eat Explorer for breakfast . Especially ISN H40 . All I have is warm , musical , Organic , vintage bass, textured thick Mids , Emotional Vocals ,Dynamic Vocals, Deep Bass , Basehead .
