NEO 5

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

ISN Audio NEO5 fan and owner here :)

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 .
