i realized of that lol, back in the day the amount of coins you could get was an item thing (therefore telegram bots like alilou express could give such nice discounts) let's say you find the kunten at 14 bucks with a %70 discount the ideal would be to have the 70% (so you should have 9.8 USD worth of coins ideally) Also you could try try to look at other stuff to spend your coins at and better discounts should appear in a future for cheaper items I think (my experience more data is needed) that amount, how many you collect, how often you use the coins, and check for coin stuff affect this. I bought the NiceHCK Tears with a nice 26% and now i was watching better deals with coins? so weird, i had like 22 USD worth of coins (so i think i spent like 7.5 USD), not really related but i hope the NiceHCK Tears is good, i bought it because of a sketchy review in the subreddit lmao.
Yo los tengo, unos 25 dolares plus impuestos personalmente ignorando el hecho de que parece que su qc no es el mejor (el izq. se me resbalaba mucho de la oreja) y que creo que tiene un poquito de desbalance de canal aunque le doy el beneficio de la duda por que mis orejas no son iguales te los recomendaria mucho, los medios un poco resagados pero los graves los senti rapidos, no lodosos, los agudos estan relativamente definidos pero no lastiman, se siente en medios y agudos como usar altavoces hasta cierto punto pero el grave se siente como auriculares aunque aun asi siento que todo el sonido se siente, distinto por algun motivo... se nota que mucho del presupuesto se fue a la caja lol, me gusto mas con el 3.5mm en sonido siento que mejora.
Moondrop Chu II TANGZU Wan'er SG 2 Red Lion Edition 7HZ x Crinacle Zero: 2 Tanchjim Bunny NiceHCK Tears Gk kunten Plenty to choose from I have the Gk kunten and NiceHCK, the GK is nice and more for the price, not the most detailed but it is very fine specially for gaming in a more cozy way in my opinion
Kefine Klean, or the Delci if they are on sale. NiceHCK Tears DSP. Or a the standard edition if you can't utilize the USB connection.

It is a very good set. The DSP version has some baked in profiles as well, that are quite nice.
The cable with the USB port is the DSP, which is branded for the Bunny IEMs. The IEMs are a single Dynamic driver type. They are basic IEMs like any other. And with an analog cable, they are still very well tuned and neutral. The DSP cable just adds additional functionality and tuning options to dial up different sound profiles. There is an Android App you can get from the Play Store, and a Desktop App you can download from Tanchjims website. There are several presets for the DSP cable you can choose from, that are specifically tuned for that particular IEM. (When you plug in the DSP cable, is is recognized as the Bunny DSP Cable) The App allows you access to the DSP cable, allowing you to adjust things through PEQ, and dial in your own sound. Either through mimicking another set via a site like squig.link or through custom/manual by ear tuning. This opens up a world of tonal possibilities, and allows you to really Taylor your sound profile. DSP isn't for everyone, but when used properly, can be extremely powerful, and very helpful, and can save you some time and money researching different tuning options. Because the Bunny is only $20, it gives you an exceptional value that no other set can. Because it allows you to experiment, essentially, "for free". Where as you would need to spend $40 to get a decent DAC with DSP on top of your IEM cost. The Bunny also happens to be fairly neutral, and has decent timbre for a $20 IEM, making it ideal for mixing. P.S. - I edited my last post to not sound like such an asshole. Sorry about that.
I would recommend you get a USB-A to USB-C Extension Cable. So you can plug into the back I/O Shield of the Motherboard. There is less potential Electrical Noise and Interference on the I/O shield plate, than say on a front panel connector where the cable has to run under the motherboard, or by the video card, etc. Now, i want to make something perfectly clear. Not all DSP IEMs are created equal. For example, the Chu2 DSP is what we would call a "Baked in DSP" Meaning that the IEM has a set profile for the DSP EQing, and it can NOT be changed. Simgot DSP IEM's are exactly the same way. However, something like the Bunny DSP has an entire app eco system to support it. So be very careful with selecting a DSP IEM. The only DSP IEM's I recommend are the Tanchjim Bunny or the NiceHCK Tears. Because both have a DSP app you can use to tun the IEM, and its not just a baked in profile that cant be altered. And at $20-30 they are a fantastic value for a beginner to try different sounds, without buying new samish IEM's.
Astroturfing. They are, at best, equal to a $20 IEM. MAYBE a $30 set. And that's about it. They have had 3 major revisions/retunes, which is classic KZ quality. Nearly all of the "reviews" you have seen of it, are fake. And all of the people saying "it competes with $200 IEMs" are bots, following the script for the Ad Copy in the Review Guide. There is Hype, and then there is Over Hype, and the Kunten is straight Over Hype. Like, it's bad enough that I've talked to Mods about the level of astroturfing, and we have found patterns to it. So it is absolutely a thing.
Bought the type-c version and the cable fried so tossed them on my fiio utws5 2025 and put the stock balance PEQ into them. Couldn't be happier with this wireless setup.
maybe you could give the NiceHCK Tears a try, I love them and they're single DDs coming in about 20Sgd which is going to be way below your budget. They do sound nicer after about a 10 hour burn in and it is also sensitive to cable swap. May have a open back feel to it..
NICEHCK Tears - to me very balanced , natural . My budget reference and even better than higher priced sets . YU9 QUE - even better than some kilo/multikilobuck sets for my prefs
Some additional comments and my view of some of these sets. Obviously we hear sets “a bit” differently. And in the end these sets are different and its depending on your music library and your prefs. Here are my suggestions. The Meze Alba is an excellent set. Natural sounding with good enough treble amount especially for people who are treble sensitive. Bass is maybe average or slightly above but mids, vocals are as well pretty good to my ears. It is a more natural sounding set, not an extreme V-shaped or anything else. I can highly recommend it especially for smaller ears. Falcon Ultra can get a bit spicy, true, as well to my ears. At least on higher volume. Otherwise great set. NICEHCK Tears was mentioned, I think it is an excellent set and punches way above its price point in terms of coherence and natural replay. It does lack a bit low end though imo. Canpur Silver Flash is really good but has quite the low end which is too much for some. Fit can be hit or miss due to its "wing". I like the set a lot but I wouldn’t call it balanced. Tanchjim Nora is very good, too, especially when you are a little bit treble sensitive. It is natural slightly relaxed leaning set with great vocals, good enough bass for most genres while having good detail retrieval and nice treble without sounding splashy. The vocals are great on this set without the shout. It might be too boring if you want a lot of treble energy and not sufficient if you are a basshead though. Nora is excellent in comfort and fit but most single DDs are except maybe the Canpur Flash with its "wing".
Truthear Gate is basically a quite good one but can be a bit too bright and at least to my ears it does sound unnaturally bright. Keep that in mind especially for certain game sound cues where eg gunshots etc can sound harsh. To me a better option is the NICEHCK Tears which sound quite balanced with very good detail retrieval and an overall natural sound. Bunny was mentioned is a good choice too. Chu II is as well a good pick imo.
Just Buy nice hck tears it's like if kz kunten was actually good
