Juzear - 61T / Butterfly 61T

Among the ones I own, Juzear 61T and Isabellae. Among all iems, my pick would be Kinera Verdandi Imperial.

I wanted to go with the performer and chose the juzear 61t instead, and boy it lacks bass for me both sub and mid😐 the technicalities are good but I need my bass..

Probably Softears Twilight, not cheep, but tuning really speaks to me. Juzear 61T Butterfly has beautiful natural non-offensive sound, great for the price if twilight is too expensive. Aroma Jewel is truly special but at $6k not sure it is worth it for average joe. (I’m looking at Simgot 142 (planar) and Pula Anvil. 142 as an alternative to sold out S12 2024; and Anvil as an alternative to more aggressively tuned BGVP DMA for bone conduction experience. However, I have not yet bought these nor had any extensive playing time with them. Ask me in a few months.) Flatheads: BGVP DX7 Headphones closed back: Focal Azurys Headphones open back: Audio-Technica rGX3000 TWS: Apple AirPods 2, Technics AZ100 and Noble Audio Focus REX 5 I like lots of metal, percussion, Detroit Techno, modern jazz. Tight punchy midbass and warmer tuning is my preference.

Ya there is amazing stuff in the 200 to 300 dollar space, really, like the latest run of Ziigaat stuff, Odyssee comes to mind.. And Doscinco.. There is also the Dunu Davinci.. Juzear 61t..we are having our little brains blown out the ear holes at this point. Going up further in price, the tuning seems to get very specific and unique. You really need to know very well what you want. I think most people could stop at something like Odyssee

I would suggest picking up the Juzear 61T. For $200 it's very versatile, it has nice bass response which isn't overwhelming. The head-stage is some of the best in its price range, separation is very good. The Estrella is another option. The sub bass is more significant, but it is lacking the bit of warmth the 61T has. Again, head-stage width/depth and separation is a step up.

IMO, the best technical perfomance under 300 you can get is from, Planars IEMs altho they need more power to shine, with the Aether, Shozy P20 and F1 Pro the best bang for your buck and with the rest of ur money get a KA15 or Dawn Pro portable dac. After that the Juzear 61t and the Perfomer5+2 are on a deal right now for spring sale, which makes them my 2nd best choices

Tuning wise will be an upgrade, but not technically, KE4 is not a detail oriented IEM. The Juzear61t and/or Performer 5+2 are the next upgrade worthy from the quartet, with honorable mention of the F1 Pro and/or Shozy P20 planars for the same price that the quartet(you wil need 4.4mm cable+dac to fully squeeze their potentia). Still i would avoid them and go for the 300ish Volume S or Pilgrim so you can actually notice the improvement.
