unclebrudyI prefer to tip roll for days/weeks to “EQ” and will only keep IEMs around that need PEQ if they are guilt-free affordable (for me.) 2025 GOATs no EQ: DMA, ET142 (Gold nozzle + medium foam) Great, no EQ: EDC Pro, Gale, PA02, Mimosa, Pilgrim, Pilgrim Noir, RSV Great with PEQ: Grit, Soundpeats H3, Relentless Great but needed PEQ and too $: CP622B, Monarch MKIV No real worst, but I’m disappointed with the Noah. I had the Yu9 Que and it needed a little EQing, and frankly EQ’d my Relentless to the same sound so out the Que went - thought the Noah would be it (meaning not needing EQ) but the Que bodies it in all sonic preferences I have.
