"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."


"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"


"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"after a month of burn in with the equaliser I have set (increase all bars to +5) it sounds so pleasant and great, more than value for money ! ... It’s sounds amazing in terms of bass and volume only post using custom eq. ... It sounds like a proper hifi system is playing. ... I can make my tribit sound like bose,jbl or however I want via different EQs. ... Tribit x sound plus 2 according to me is the best sounding speaker under not just 5 but ₹10k ... I agree ... I second that! ... loved the speaker later on so much that I got one more lol."

"The sound on these are awesome! They are definitely an S tier. ... Previously the best sounding earbuds I've heard are the AKG N400NC which I still have but plan to sell since I no longer need them. ... They get even better once you tweak the EQ and play with the settings, and add your own Personi-Fi setting. ... they are very detailed I would say with some great sub bass. ... Probably the best sounding earbuds I've heard, almost make me want to cry during some songs. ... In some situations, sound is even better with the dongle connected. ... Awesome detail. Awesome highs, you can hear them but they're not piercing. ... Pretty wide soundstage. Like snare drums sound amazing. And bass guitars. ... Vocals are perfect. ... There's a lot of customization in the app for the sound. ... All instruments sound separated. ... I have liberty 4NC, it destroys them even after the sound id is applied. ... With these AKG's set up, the bass feels perfect on them. ... there's more presence in the AKG N5 and more depth in the bass and treble. ... I'm listening and enjoying music I normally don't like."

"The Mega5est is probably my favorite for that use case; the slightly bass-boosted JM1 tuning just works really well as an all 'rounder, with that typical meta cleanliness, but with some extra sub bass energy you'd want for immersive games."


"The sound stage is holographic."


"The technical aspects like "details" or "imaging" and all those vague terms are almost on par"

"If you don't like your tooth fillings, get it because it'll knock them out. ... Absolute bass beast!"


"I am currently daily driving the Kbear Rosefinch as bass is my absolute favourite"


"the Quartet’s bass is even stronger and more present. ... Those dual isobaric dynamic drivers really do make a difference, it seems. ... The bass on them doesn’t hit quite as hard as it does on the Quartet ... They were my second set after the Cadenza when I realized I wanted more bass than what the Cadenza had."

"my razer black widow that broke only a year and a half. ... The A key became unresponsive. ... It was actually the second one i got that had the same issue, but the first one lasted 4 years and one of those were during lockdown so i chalked it up heavy use. The second one broke within the two year warranty ... Razer sucks dont buy their stuff. ...

"KZ goofed it up so bad when the units we received did not match the review units that were sent ahead of time, as KZ decided to remove a mesh piece that dampened the extreme treble spikes (to save on production cost) and claimed that "nothing has changed, we did nothing wrong and we're not going to take the product back"."

KBear Rosefinch - pure physicality of the sub makes me reach for this set over a bunch of other bassy ones that i have. Besides the overall sound signature has enough details to balance it out.

I have the Explorer, Defiant and Martilo. I don't hear the similarities between the Defiant and Martilo as you do. They both have a similar approach to songs. If the sub-bass is there...you will hear it. More so the Martilo. The Explorer is bassy...but not basshead. In fact...I don't classify the Martilo as basshead either. Give KBears Rosefinch a twirl first. It's a budget set...but it's THE budget basshead set. See if that's what you're looking for. I also have the 7Hz Legato. For me, the Legato is more "basshead" than Martilo. It's not as warm overall as the Explorer, but the are definitely more in the low-end. You may have to step up into FatFreq territory for more mid-bass along with the sub-bass rumble. Keep in mind...how bass is presented also depends on how mids and treble are set. Pulling both of those back slightly can greatly increase bass response

I am currently daily driving the Kbear Rosefinch as bass is my absolute favourite, but would you say the Deuce is worth it considering its build quality and price?

Preferences are highly subjective. This said, a bass-forward IEM I really enjoy is the KBear Rosefinch. Very affordable, comfortable, bassy but decently balanced and not at all muddy. EDM, IDM, rock and it's a solid and often over-looked IEM. I've the Wa'ner and Cadenza as well in the lower price tiers, but I find myself with the Rosefinch more often, which surprised me.

7hz legato are a bit overpriced for what they offer. The best budget bass cannon is the kbear rosefinch around $25, but they sound really muddy if you're fine with that.

I currently have the Kbear rosefinch because they have decent bass but I'm looking for an upgrade around $100. Do you recommend the 7hz legato as a worthy bassehead upgrade or a different set of iems?

I have the Rosefinch, love it. Tried Castor and QKZxHBB - bass heavy but not basshead level. Do you tested them both? (Planet and Blue 2)

The Rosefinch rules, and has the most sub-bass out of the 3 by far, so it wins. It may lack clarity stock, but with some careful EQ it can be quite good. I AutoEQ'd to the Kiwi x HBB Punch and it really opened things up, cutting mid-bass a bit and boosting the midrange a little. Sounds fantastic, making rock sound pretty damned nice.

Yes it delivers da sub-bass rumble and mid-bass punch to satisfy bassheads. Mids can be recessed at times though, but this can be fixed with EQ. I EQ'd them to the Kiwi x HBB Punch and vocal clarity is much improved, can use them for rock now, in addition to EDM and Hip-hop.

Aoshida E20 isn't especially bassy unless you EQ it, but the thing is it can take a lot of EQ. Without EQ the KBear Rosefinch probably has the most sub-bass, but I don't especially recommend it because it has quite a harsh peak in the treble that limits volume scaling. Some people don't seem to notice it though. The Aoshida is definitely the better IEM of the two, overall.

Those are bullshit and probably mostly fake reviews by a competitor. Find some reputable reviewer(s) you can trust and whose opinions align with your own, as everyone hears IEMs a bit differently. This is the one that made me consider trying the HBB. Wasn't convinced at first, but they're now one of my favourite IEMs at any price (and I have about 60 IEMs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swejkFpZfBM The HBB has a very particular style of presentation though. It's warm and relaxing, although it also volume-scales very well and can be fun if you turn it up a bit. If you want a really hard-hitting style of bass, the KZ Castor Bass+ is better, but it's overall tuning isn't as good as the HBB & it especially has some issues in the treble (though you may not notice at first). Also the Castor doesn't have much sub-bass so it's probably not what you're looking for. The KBear Rosefinch has *tons* of sub-bass, but it has much bigger problems with treble tuning and can sound quite harsh if you try to turn it up at all.

Hello. I’ve been doing a lot of research into buying a mid level pair of iems. But the more research I do the more lost I feel with new iems constantly showing up… I’ve tried to narrow it down to these three. Unfortunately I’m not able to listen to them before buying them, so I fear it’s going to be a bit of a gamble regardless. I’m not an audiophile by any means but I’ve always struggled to find a pair of headphones that has decent imaging, crisp vocals, clarity and punchy bass you can feel. Overall a fun and satisfying listening experience over a more neutral technical one. I have/had the sennheiser momentum true wireless 3 (they’re great but they lack that oomph and sound stage in quite a few rock and metal songs), Audeze maxwell (they’re quite flat sounding but have great clarity), Sony wh1000xm3 (I enjoy these, but they feel quite muddy and the instruments can feel very close at times), kbear rosefinch (they’re fun and awesome for the price. The bass is nice but they also lack oomph and clarity in a lot of songs. I’ve ordered new tips for them so I wonder if that’ll help) I mainly listen to Jpop, jrock, kpop, rock, metal, and electronic/synthpop. Some artists I listen to are: Ado, Yuyoyuppe, Utsu-p, Yorushika, Spiritbox, Suisei, Pretty Patterns, Mamamoo. (I mostly listen to female vocals) Im able to find the variations for about £425, the tops 2nd hand for £360 and Neo 5 for roughly £250 Does anyone who’s tried any or all of them have any opinions/insights?
