Get kz duonic bass (because it looks like you're basshead when i look at what you have) + trn black pearl dac (also you can get good cable for those - kbear st16 qdc 4.4 or trn t2 pro (with same connectors), and some eartips like kbear 07)

kz duonic (bass version with switches, it's better than castor pro if you're taking about it), moondrop chu 2 (if you don't live in humid environment), tangzu wan'er 2 red lion, trn dolphin (if you want bright iem) Also get cheap cx31993 dac without additional amp chip, it should be enough for any of those

Try kz castor pro bass/kz duonic or kz decet And you better never use something like dolby atmos, it usually destroy iem sound https://preview.redd.it/shhwv66i42eg1.jpeg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4498c30b3c890c5a755b34227fecad09a58d86b0

Kz duonic (bass version with tuning switches or silver if you don't care about bass), tangzu wan'er 2 (IMO worse but has better accessories, red version - bass boosted, green - least bass)

Good for the price, you need to go to good 50$ iem to get something really better (kz has some better value sets below 50$, like kz duonic, kz prx, kz am16 (with peq), kz zs10 pro 2)

26 days ago

if you can find kz duonic for this price, sometimes on sales it's around that (bass version if you like more bass, silver or besic with switches if you like more neutral sound), else get gk kunten

**Saw the top picks from** [Reddit Recs](https://redditrecs.com/iem/) recently, and wanted to make my own (in no particular order). Similar sounding IEMs will be grouped together with a slash "/", for example: "Tanchjim Bunny/Zero Ultima". IEMs that weren't included means they didn't make it due to better options available, for example: Zero 2, Pilgrim, Dusk, P5+2, 242, Mega7 etc. **Honorable mentions (HM)** just means they're still solid picks, but fall short due to either QC, price, or being too niche. *Full Video Breakdown* [*here*](https://youtu.be/bpn-ZzCZG-E) *My IEM Ranking List* [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZHVib50XFQW4up3SwOZUTbI-hZB6Ir5LX6XnZblIM6o/edit?usp=sharing) *----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* **Under $25 sales included (+/- $5 from price)** \-Moondrop Chu 2 non DSP (all-rounder) \-Tanchjim Bunny/Zero Ultima DSP or 3.5mm (all-rounders) \-Simgot EW100P/TangZu Waner 2 (clean vocals/balanced) \-Kz Duonic Bass Edition (sub-bass boosted all-rounder) \-Tangzu Waner 2 Bass Red Lion (mid-bass/warmer all-rounder) *HM: GK KUNTEN (bassy all-rounder cheaper Zero 2)* *Truthear Gate (all-rounder),* *Kiwiears Cadenza OG (all-rounder)* *KZ ELDAR/EDC PRO (bassy/warm),* *KZ Gale (clean/neutral),* *KBEAR ROSEFINCH (basshead)* **Around $60 sales included (+/- $10 from price)** \-Simgot EW300 non DSP (bassy all-rounder) \-7Hz Elua Ultra (slight-v all-rounder) \-Kefine Klean SV Black Nozzle/Kiwiears Cadenza 2 (clean/balanced) \-Simgot EW200/Artti T10 (bright all-rounder) \-KZ Zenith (vocals/smooth/mid-range) *HM: Tanchjim 4U (neutral to warm-balanced),* *TRIPOWIN VIVACE (bassy all-rounder),* *TangZu Yu Xuan Ji (airy/neutral),* *Moondrop Lan OG (clean/vocals),* *Kefine Klean OG (warm all-rounder)* *KZ VIBE X (bone conduction/balanced),* *TRUTHEAR CRINACLE BLUE ZERO 2 with IMPEDANCE Adapter (basshead)* **Around $100 sales included (+/- $20 from price)** \-Simgot EM6L (slight v/bright/smooth) \-Simgot EA500LM/SIMGOT EG280 (bright all-rounder) \-CCA HYDRO (bassy all-rounder) \-Tanchjim Fission (neutral/balanced) \-NiceHCK F1 PRO (bright leaning) *HM: AFUL EXPLORER (dark/bassy/scaling),* *KEFINE DELCI AE (bright all-rounder)* *ARRTI T10 PRO (warm/airy),* *KIWIEARS AIROSO (warm all-rounder),* *JUZEAR DEFIANT (slight v),* *HIDIZS MK12 RED NOZZLE (warm/male vocals)* **Around $200 sales included (+/- $30 from price)** \-Simgot Supermix4/Gizaudio Chopin/Truthear Nova (all-rounders) \-Ziigaat Odyssey OG (bassy all-rounder) \-Letshuoer Astralis (sub-bass/slight-v all-rounder) \-Crinear Daybreak/EPZ P50 (balanced/smooth all-rounder) \-7Hz Timeless 2 Silver Small Nozzle (warm/smooth) *-EQ OPTION: EPZ P40 (clean/bright)* *HM: AAV CJ20 (airy/bright),* *KEFINE ARNAR SILVER NOZZLE (dark/clean/scaling),* *MYER CK2V (bright/cheaper and better tuned Braindance),* *LETSHUOER CADENZA 4 (clean/bright/female vocals),* *HIDIZS MP145 PRO/SIMGOT EA1000 RED NOZZLE (bright/sparkly vocals),* *KIWIEARS AETHER (balanced/neutral-leaning*, similar tuned/tech but *cheaper AFUL P5+2)* **Around $300 sales included (+/- $50 from price)** \-Kiwiears Halcyon (sub-bass boosted all-rounder) \-Kiwiears Astral/Ziigaat Crescent (slight-v) \-Binary EP321 (clean/balanced-->replaces/better Dusk, Pilgrim, 5+2, 242) \-Ziigaat Horizon (bright leaning all-rounder) \-Xenns Tea Pro/Thieaudio Hype 4/Ziigaat Estrella (bassy all-rounders) *HM: Punch Audio Martilo (basshead/slight-v),* *Softears Volume S (warm/smooth),* *Crinear Reference (neutral/smooth),* *Dunu 142 (slight-v/cheaper astral/crescent but with peakier/sharper treble less refined)* **Around $500 sales included (+/- $50 from price)** \-Thieaudio Hype 4 MK2 (bright *leaning/a better tuned Dunu Braindance*) \-NiceHCK Rockies (bright/all-rounder) \-Xenns Top Pro/Tea Pro SE (all-rounder*s*/Top Pro sparklier SE is fuller and more balanced) \-IO Volare (clean all-rounder/I'd get this over the MEGA7) \-Hisenior Mega5est 7th (sub-bass boosted all-rounder/I'd get this over the MEGA7) *-EQ OPTION: Moondrop Variations* *HM: EPZ 550 (clean vocals/more textured Oracle MK1),* *Ziigaat Arcanis (scaling/textured vocals),* *Ziigaat Luna (warm/airy all rounder),* *YU9 QUE (scaling, mid-range. smooth)* *Symphonium Meteor (mid-bass, warmer/thick/airy),* *Kiwiears HBB Punch (basshead),* *TangZu Xuan Wu Gate (neutral/clean)* **$500+ to Around $1000 sales included (+/- $100 from price)** \-IO CIELO (dynamic all-rounder) \-Thieaudio Monarch MK4/Prestige LTD (all-rounder) \-Dunu Glacier (slight v) \-Thieaudio Origin (bassy all-rounder) \-Meze Astru (scaling/balanced/rever*b staging*) *HM: Letshuoer Mystic 8 (bright-neutral/female vocals)* *Softears RSV (vocal all-rounder),* *BGVP Solomon (bright leaning),* *FIIO FX17 (warm all-rounder),* *AFUL DAWN-X (smooth/scaling/sub-bass)* *Penon Voltage (slight-v)* ***Ya'll know this is just my opinion right?***

You’re talking about comparing graphs when Dracomies don’t even have a database. Literally go look at mine. T10 is not warm, most people and reviewers call them bright leaning, or an all rounder before calling them warm. It doesn’t have enough mid-bass to be warm and too much treble. You and Dracomies are most likely mixing up the soft timbre in the treble as being warm. This is like being color blind and trying to convince others green is red, you’re technically not wrong, but certainly misleading.

It's funny you mention Alter Ego when that's a worse all-rounder than the LTD in all areas, thinner lower-mids, less treble extension and peakier, and worse balance overall. You could've literally picked any other IEM... oh the irony behind *"you have no idea what you're talking about".* Hey, maybe your CIEM sounds different than the stock due to the custom fit, but all the stock LTDs are marketed to be balanced, and graphs so. Anyways, cheers mate.

>Yeah the Empire Ravens are a real all rounder These are more bass leaning than all-rounder, more slight v than balanced, also less refined in the treble vs LTD, again a bad example, I'd place the Raven as an bassy IEM more than an all-rounder (as others have described them as well) >FR Graphs are an AWFUL way to gauge anything. They don't tell half of half the story. Objectively wrong, they tell a lot with the right setup, not saying 100%, but definitely a lot >MA AE's respond very well to some very basic EQ nudges. Funny you didn't mention they're recessed treble which is by a VERY long way their biggest issue I literally did when I said "less treble extension and peakier" which is also reflected by the FR graph lmao you can't make this shit up >What's your background in music/audio? What's your body of work???Could you even make these? Yes, I tuned and released my own IEM, heard probably 400+ IEMs now, and make music on the side as a hobby. Look man, I'm happy for you that you were able to have a great career via music, I think that's very commendable, but there is also a chance that you might be in the minority here about the LTDs because not only to me, but also to the vast majority of reviewers - the LTDs are balanced and fits that all-rounder category, and definitely more than both the Ravens and the AEs, which is not only reflected by the FR graph, but also just by listening to them Ok I think I found where the disconnect lies: >tuned some of the best club soundsystems in the world... and produced/promoted/ran 1200+ music shows with some of the biggest artists in the world. I'd say my ears have served me pretty bloody well. This actually checks out with why you think those bassier IEMs are balanced because you’re probably used to clubs and festival speakers being tuned differently due to the context of getting people hyped, which is vastly different than audiophile listening or studio mixing which associates balanced with less coloration/less v and energy in both ends, for example I would never use the Ravens to master or mix a track due to the extra bass and peakier treble, and instead use something more neutral and smooth like the Crinear Reference

Hey guys, doing another fun tierlist/ranking of all the NEW IEMs I've heard from Nov 2025 to June 2026 (listed in order from left to right of picture, to up to down of text post). ***Full Video Breakdown*** [**HERE**](https://youtu.be/wVePREicg7E) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **VALUE TIER:** * XENNS TEA PRO SE (Balanced all-rounder with great tech and timbre) * THIEAUDIO HPE 4 MK2 (Bright-balanced, boosted but smooth treble at the edge of being too much with endgame levels of technical performance for only $400) * EPZ P40 (WITH EQ - super smooth FR with great tech) * KEFINE KLEAN SV (Clean-balanced, great tech and versatility for price) * TANGZU WANER 2 BASS RED LION (Bassy all-rounder with good vocal/treble extension and best value for $20 when it comes to accessories like tips/cable/packaging) **RECOMMENDED TIER:** * IO CIELO (Balanced all-rounder with endgame dynamics & tech while being musical) * EPZ 550 (Clean, clear, sweet vocal all-rounder, slightly airy/textured in the endnotes - upgraded Thieaudio Oracles OG for vocals) * KIWIEARS HALCYON (Engaging all-rounder with sub-bass boost and extended treble air, well-implemented MEMS) * BINARY EP321 (Balanced, clean, natural, neutral leaning, tamer low-end, slight treble boost, very technical, well-implemented MEMS) * LETSHUOER ASTRALIS (Bassy all-rounder, sub-bass focused, great low-end texture, tamer uppermids/treble) * KINERA CELEST PHOENIXCALL 2.0 (Refined v-shape with great bass texture and tech, bright leaning but not overly sharp/aggressive) * DUNU 142 (All-rounder/slight v-shape, very similar to Astrals but less refined/sharper in the treble and vocals but for $50 less) * KIWIEARS ORCHESTRA 2 (Neutral, clean, balanced, technical, vocal/midrange focused) * JUZEAR DEFIANT GAMING (95% similar sound wise to OG Defiants but with unit variance in the treble amount - watch for QC) * TANGZU HARMONIC EMPIRE XIAO QIAO (All-rounder with slight airy/sparkle to female vocals/uppermids, essentially a vocal centric EW300 that's smoother in the treble) * PUNCHAUDIO PORTAZO (Basshead/v-shape leaning, lots of low-end slam/energy and great texture all-around but not the smoothest and refined) * TINHIFI T6 (3 tunings from all-rounder, bassy, to vocal boost/brighter) * KIWIEARS CADENZA 2 (Clean, balanced, very similar to KLEAN SV but without the nozzle/tuning variety and slightly sharper in the highs) * OOOPUSX OP.22 (2 tunings from bassy all-rounder to clean/balanced) * **ZIIGAAT RUMBA: Edit - Moved up due to lower pricing. (Bassy all-rounder, wide stock tips makes it very smooth, but overall it's basically a more vocal-centric Vivace - price changed to $35 from $50)** * KIWIEARS BELLE (Warm, smooth, full, natural, good male vocals, high-volume scaling) * KZ PHANTOM (Clean, balanced, vocal/midrange centric, essentially the Zenith but with less low-end - watch for QC cuz KZ) * KZ DUONIC BASS (Goes from sub-bass/low-end focused set to bassy all-rounder while retaining great vocal/treble extension/smoothness, watch for QC cuz KZ) * KZ VIBE X (Clean, balanced, with sub-bass bounce/echo/reverb, Bone conduction timbre is very prominent and noticeable - watch for QC cuz KZ) * KZ ELDAR (Bassy all-rounder with good balance/extension elsewhere, essentially a more vocal centric EDC PRO - watch for QC cuz KZ) **NICHE TIER:** * MEZE ASTRU (Natural, immersive, balanced, musical, reverb vocals/staging, expensive) * MYER SLIIVO SL41 PRO (All-rounder with slightly sharp attack/transients, good dynamics/bass texture/technical performance, can get peaky in the uppermids) * AAV CJ20 (airy, bright, full, great for rock/metal/bands) * HIDIZS MP145 PRO (Sparkly, bright, technical, great for female vocals) * TANGZU HARMONIC EMPIRE ZHANG LIAO (Flat, full, natural, scaling, better tuned P8S) * KEFINE ARNAR (Dark, tame, clear vocals, full but clean low-end, high volume set) * EPZ P40 (stock no EQ - bright, clean, thin low-end, very smooth treble making it great for metal/rock and EQ) **SALE TIER:** * HISENIOR MEGA7 for \~$350 (Clean, balanced, natural, smooth, vanilla, inoffensive, no wow factor musically or technically - similar all-rounders for cheaper like Daybreak) * LETSHUOER EMBER for \~$300 (Bassy, smooth vocals with airy treble, immersive, direct upgrade to AFUL EXPLORER, but $500 is too expensive for single planar retail) * YANYIN BAKER for \~$300 (All-rounder with good bass texture and treble dynamics, scales good, less v-shaped Astral/142, tech could be better for $500 retail) * CRINEAR REFERENCE \~$250-300 (Neutral, flat, smooth, natural, scales great, good vocals with scaling, technical performance not that competitive at $350 retail) * JUZEAR HARRIER \~$250 (High-volume set, great for midrange and sub-bass, needs scaling or else sounds low-res, tech is not competitive at retail) * DUNU 242 \~$300 (Neutral-leaning, flat, clean, technical, can get thin in the vocals, treble can come across sharp, lots of similar neutral/flat options available for \~$300) * AFUL PERFORMER 8S \~$250 (Flat, full, neutral-leaning, basically a slightly more technical ZHANG LIAO with less note-weight and worse timbre/scaling for $100 more) * TANCHJIM SODA \~$200-250 (Balanced, smooth, natural, all-rounder, inoffensive, needs better contrast/transients/tech for $300 retail, no issues otherwise) * SIMGOT SUPERMIX5 (Flat, balanced, natural, full, good scaling with bouncy sub-bass texture, should be priced around SM4 since performance wise it's a step down) * KIWIEARS CHORUS (Sounds/graphs exactly the same as the Belle but now with an open-back design that boost the air by a tiny tiny bit) * TANGZU XUE TAO (Warm, bassy, tamer energy, smooth, not ideal as a "gaming" IEM as marketed due to poor clarity and separation at retail) **PASS TIER:** * DUNU TITAN X (Warm/bassy, smooth, but has a big dip/gap from 4-8K that makes vocals sound hollow, incomplete, and unnatural, can get better clarity, vocal/treble extension for cheaper like Waner 2 Bass, Belle, and CCA Polaris with bass switches on) * MOONDROP ARMATURE ART 12 (Bass boosted all-rounder, natural, full, good male vocals, tech/treble extension is decent but is more similar to a $300-400 IEM) * SOFTEARS SE6 LIVE (Bassy/neutral, dark leaning, smooth, natural, high-volume, immersive, enjoyed the sound... but not for $1200 - technical performance is \~$300) * JUZEAR DEFIANT GAMING (Skip if you already have OG Defiant - 95% the same sound as the OG Defiant with tiny difference in the treble that's more down to unit variance) * KIWIEARS CHORUS (Skip if you already have the Belles - 95%+ similar to the Belle) **What are everyone's favs so far for 2026?**

Sweetie, my all-rounder target is literally based off of adjusted diffuse field - Endgame IE 2024 - it's on my database, again why are we straight up lying. Just because not many came out last nov to now doesn't mean I don't like them lol >you seem to consistently prefer a thicker 1-2khz, a smoothed or recessed 3khz No. 1st of all, there's no such thing as a thicker 1-2Khz... Boosting 1-2khz moves the vocals forward, not the thickness. 2nd, I've never in my life said I want smoothed out 3khz since I like my vocals - RSV one of my favs vocal sets is a great example, also tuned the Estrella that way. Once again, why are we just straight up lying and spreading false information? As for the treble, yes a little more treble air is always nice, but that also depends on the IEM since Dark leaning sets are great with scaling, IE - EJ07 is one of my favs EDIT: Hahaha bro edited his comment and resorted to personal attacks after getting called out. Being obsessed with someone else’s preferences and then self-projecting is a certified Reddit moment

Tudo de boa pessoal?, Farei um review simplificado sobre os fones que estão comigo no momento. Eu não tenho o melhor conhecimento no mundo da audiofilia, mas este será um review 100% sincero do que eu achei deles. Kz edc pro: continua sendo um bom custo beneficio, tendo uma assinatura em V bem resolvida, palco sonoro bem decente, separação de instrumentos e imagem boa, médios um pouco recuados mas naturais, graves com boa extensão e agudos não sibilantes porém com um pouco de falta de resolução. Qualidade de construção ok Kz edx pro 2: uma clara melhora em relação a primeira versão, contudo eu achei ele muito parecido com o edc pro, comparando os dois o edx pro 2 tem os médios um pouco mais resolvidos e os graves mais presentes com uma boa resolução. A qualidade de construção dele é um pouco melhor. Trn mt4 pro: uma assinatura sonora um pouco mais calma comparada ao edc pro, médios ligeiramente mais recuados e anasalados que o edc pro, graves mais magros entretanto com boa extensão e resolução, agudos excelentes tendo resolução e arejamento bons, palco sonoro bom, separação instrumental e imagem um pouco melhores que o edc pro. Qualidade de construção boa. Kz merga: uma assinatura sonora mais brilhante, chegando a ser um pouco treeblehead, agudos bem fortes com um pouco de sibilância, médios mais recuados e menos cheios porém não são ruins, graves mais recuados mas com boa extensão, palco sonoro mais fechado, separação instrumental e imagem surpreendente bons para sua faixa de preço. Qualidade de construção ok. Dylan De 215: uma assinatura sonora também focada em agudos porém melhor executada do que o kz merga, médios mais frontais e naturais, graves mais recuados, agudos fortes mas com uma qualidade geral e resolução melhor que o edc pro,edx pro 2 ,merga e trn 4 pro. Palco sonoro mais aberto e separação instrumental e imagem muito bons. Qualidade de construção ok. Sgor venus: uma assinatura sonora em v com menos graves e mais médio agudos,palco sonoro amplo e separação de instrumentos e imagem bem nítida, um bom iem para jogos, porém achei ele o mais fraco em musicalidade desta lista. Qualidade de construção boa Kz Duonic bass version: testei ele com todas as chaves no on (1111), uma assinatura sonora em V bem equilibrada com uma presença maior de graves no ponto certo, Médios frontais e naturais, sendo bons tanto em vozes femininas quanto masculinas, agudos muito bem resolvidos, em arejamento, resolução e extensão. Graves e subgraves excelentes, não chegam a ser basshead mais são os melhores desta lista, boa velocidade e tem punch, palco sonoro amplo e separação instrumental e imagem bem acima da média. Qualidade de construção muito boa. Gk kunten: o iem do momento , e te aviso não é só hype, ele tem uma assinatura sonora em v muito bem feita, tendo médios corretíssimos e naturais, graves e subgraves com presença,extensão e punch, agudos incríveis melhores que o Duonic tendo extensão e resolução excelentes, Palco sonoro amplo e separação de instrumentos e imagem bem acima da média. Qualidade de construção boa. Dos que eu testei o Gk kunten e o kz Duonic se saíram melhor no geral, tanto em tecnicalidades quanto em qualidade geral, (não que os outros sejam ruims) qual escolher entre os dois vai depender da sua preferência sonora, por exemplo eu achei o kz duonic melhor em alguns estilos musicais e o gk kunten em outros, porém claramente o gk kunten ganharia em custo beneficio por ser mais barato que o Duonic. Obrigado por ler até aqui , essas são minhas opiniões subjetivas sobre os fones, se quiser acrescentar alguma coisa ou falar sobre suas experiências próprias podem comentar!!!.

for under $30? KZ Duonic (with bass switches on) - if you want strong bass but appreciate some degree of clarify and a very energetic sound. Kbear Rosefinch - If all you want is blast volume on an inmersive sound, lots of bass, but little fatigue QKZxHBB - If you want a more "iem experience" (decent technical performance for a bassy sound), and decent energy, but still with a clear presence of bass. Must mention: Either of the 3 can, and will sound, muddy, specially stuff like QKZxHBB, if you have low tolerance to bass even if you are a basshead, so stuff like Salnotes Zero 2 or Waner II red lion would likely do better if you find any of the above too bassy.

Oh a mention of the Eldar nice (mine still incoming) But but... duonic non switch passes (I let of mine) but GK Streak doesn't (reason I let go if duonic)? Also - no kbear / tri in the 100-200 range (kb08 et al)?

Impressions should be as divisive as those on the Zenith. Begging the question - does the zenith really had divisive impressions? Hard to believe it had. Now imagine that sound quality for 10-15usd? Lol you buy it. My take based on value, quality and tuning preference: Kunten > duonic silver > cca phoenix > polaris >> gale (My last 4 recent budget buys - Polaris was unplanned 4usd buy…, gale don't need to use anymore) (Although I could swap duonic and Phoenix - but its 3rd as I need EQ to tame the 3k-6k region. Stock duonic is fine with me. )

No I only have silver noswitch

For me this has better treble implementation than cca Phoenix and the duonic silver. I get fatigue from those 2 especially phoenix
