Bought a few the other day. Definitely the best deal out there. The IginiteX beast (with DSP cable) is also on sale for a similar price on Amazon. Just got it in today and sounds fantastic

I love those! Been talking about it everywhere. Such a hell of a deal at $9. Comfort trumps everything :P

I bought 2! These things are bangers! I love how comfortable they are. I literally can wear this all day.

Getting some iems i really liked has made me enjoy my music and video games more than I did before. Which I had some pretty decent purpose built gameing headphones and some lower mid grade sennheiser headphones that were/are pretty good but the comfort and sound quality i get out of sub 100 dollar iems is so good ive not used the others in forever. The quality of sound you can get for 20 dollars now days is crazy. A few ive got at various times on amazon for less than 10 dollars that are fantastic. The ccz dc 02, ccz dc 03, ziigaat nuo, kz edc pro, Celest lgniteXBeast and the blon bl max and their all great.

I got those same 2 on that same sale I was planning on giving the ignite×beast away to a friend cause the reviews said it was a bit bright and thats usually not what I like but of the two I liked it alot more than the black remaster so my friend got those and I kept the beasts.

Best budget: Celest IgnitexBeast (10 USD QoA amazon limited promo) This 1DD+1BA shocked me how bad it was for everything else BUT dubstep, dnb, edm, sounded incredible. The custom BA driver is very capable. GK Kunten 1DD (2.52 USD aliexpress new user promo) Tuning is excellent for general listening. Fit is okay but only up to 45 mins. Doesn't handle eq very well. AM16 8BA (32 USD aliexpress) The absolute king of budget BA with a caveat. It's my favorite set but only with eq. Without it, is unlistenable uness only for artificially produced genres or gaming. UERR target: The best rendition of Emotions by Mariah Carey. Even beating my B2s which are 10x more. VE8 target: Incredibly coherent for Japanese music. Worst: Nothing? I guess I'm pretty lucky to have only bought bangers this year :)

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the ignite x beast. I have a large IEM library, and I think for the money it's hard to do better.

I thought it was a nice improvement in detail. Each person has different ears....

I have the celeste ignite x beast (the name is weird). Easily one of the best iem investments that I did. They are very well balanced and sound like a 80 usd ear bud. I got them discounted from AliExpress for 30 bucks.

Mine is the Celest IgniteXBeast that I got for $5.99 on Amazon. Paired with a good cable and good tips, it’s a no-brainer.

Celest IgniteXBeast was one I got for $5.99 on Amazon a few weeks ago. That’s an insane deal. I pair it with the KZ AZ09 TWS wireless ear hook and they sound fantastic, but I get to use them wirelessly this way. I also got the Celest Wyvern Black Remaster for $9.99 and it’s also a really great set for the price.

Yeah, the IgniteXBeast were definitely the winner out of those two. My best set so far in my IEM journey has been the Punch Audio Martilo with the Aful Performer 5+2 being a close second. I’ve been grabbing budget sets more so I can see what they excel at. Both the IgniteXBeast and Remaster surprisingly made me love them both. Using the budget ones with the KZ AZ09 so I can get decent TWS sound has been a fun journey all on its own. I’m still trying to figure out my next IEM upgrade, but I’ve chosen the Fosi IM4 as my next sidegrade because I’ve heard it can offer a nice wide open soundstage because of its open back/vented design. Plus they’re cheap-ish ($100), so I can financially stomach the purchase. I’m leaning towards the Hisenior Mega7 as the next upgrade though.

For a first IEM, you could check out Kinera Celest Ignite x Beast. It has a really nice face plate. It's a fun and energetic pair and great for casual listeners.
