TRUTHEAR - HOLA

Is the soundstage better than the Hola? My left Hola earbud got damaged, so I'm considering buying a new one. So far, I've only tried the Castor. While it was good, it lacked the soundstage of the Hola.

Havent heard but was also interested in them awhile ago. Though heard it went thru a silent revision not too long ago and it is no longer a bassy set. I also looked for a basshead set and got something else. It has quite mixed reviews but I still deeply love my 7hz Legato. Got it over 1.5 years ago for around $65. For reference, all the sets Ive heard: TE Nova, TE zero, Letshouer S12 Pro, 7hz Legato, Artti R1, Tangzu Fudu, Kz Pr1 Pro. Used to own the Tangzu Waner and TE Hola, but gave them away. If you really wanted bass, cant go wrong with Legato. Artti R1 is still quite warm and bassy whilst still being more detailed and balanced if you dont want to lose much detail.

I'm fairly new to this territory. First I bought a truthhear hola and it's too flat and horribly big then I got kz Zsn pro x Pretty good and kind of liked it but I need a little more bass. I recently bought a shanling m1 plus and wanna pair something to it. Current options : 1.7h legato. 2.InAwaken Dawn Ms. 3.simgot ew300 hbb. 4.simgot ew300 standard. Are there any better options? or which one should I choose bw these? I get my IEMs from: Headphones zone Or Concept kart India🇮🇳

Truthear Hola. Great build quality, love the bassy but not overwhelmingly so (unlike 7hz Zero 2) tuning. Details are okay still, real shame they are discounted.

Hello everyone, I need help choosing new in-ear monitor from the jungle of models. I currently have a pair of Truthear Hola, which I like, a pair of KZ Castor (Harman) and above all, the best from my point of view, a pair of CCA Rhapsody (with switches set to 1000). I love the Rhapsody, but they are big and quickly uncomfortable in the ears. So, I need help choosing new in-ear headphones from the jungle of models to replace the Rhapsody. I mainly listen to Jazz (trios and small groups), voices and classical music. I like the bass to be present and precise, the mids not to be recessed, and the highs to be well defined but not aggressive. I use a Hiby R3 DAP or a Toppinx DX1 DAC with my PC. My budget is under 100 euros. I would like to find a model at least as good as the Rhapsody, but with smaller and more comfortable shells. Thank you in advance for your valuable advice. PS: I already tried the Kiwi Ears Cadenza, I didn't like it, and I listened to the Aoshida E20, I liked it, but I didn't think it added much compared to the Hola.

Thank you for your advice. Hola have a good size for me. Rhapsody are really big boys, if EA500LM are that big, it will be a nogo for me.

Hello, I use 1000 switches setting with the Rhapsody. And I also use a pair of KZ Castor (Harman) with 1100 setting. I like Castor and Hola, but I prefer the Rhapsody, it's more my taste, just it has very large shells like the Castor. For comfortable listening the best of these are the Hola, but the sound is more muffled. When I don't use an Iem I listen music on a pair of Q acoustics 3020i or a pair of 3030i I love the two. I also thought to S08, Delci and also the Sivga Que. But I don't know what is the best for acoustic instruments. Looking at the shell geometry, I think the Sivga are more comfortable than the other two. The other one I thought was the Simgot EA500 LM. But I don't want harsh treble or too metallic sound. And maybe it's the case with this pair, don't know. Thank you for your suggestion, it helps me.

Used my Truthear Hola for more than a year. Had to go for a type-c iem after upgrading my phone. Decided FiiO JD1 as its type-C version comes with an inbuilt Hi-Res dac.

If it's soundstage that you're looking for I'd suggest Hexa. A wide soundstage is its USP. And it will be a good upgrade. Personally, I wouldn't say sound separation and imaging is that good in either IEMs i.e. Hola & JD1. The latter has advantage in the price segment due to the inbuilt Hi-Res DAC only in the type-C model.

JD1 is louder and sharper due to the DAC. It has better bass. Hi-Res support is an added bonus. Hola sounds more balanced. It fits better and gives little to no fatigue. I like them both however let's see how far JD1 lasts, cables and everything.

All my previous earphones and headsets were nothing compared to Truthear Hola & FiiO JD1. In turn, these two are just basic compared to options available in higher price segment. Between these two I prefer Hola due to a more balanced sound. However, it has gone out of production.

As a truthear hola enjoyer i disagree.

Give it some time, check if the product is alright , try changing tips. I felt the same when I first recieved my holas as I was changing from a boat 225 ( extremely heavy on bass ). I felt it was weak and not powerful enough but after a few months i thought I grew on it. I recently tested them again and my mind was blown on how wrong my initial impression was, although the boat was heavier in bass compared to the holas, it lacked the details and soundstage the hola has and after burning in the holas they sound much better ( ok burn in is a controversial topic but it did work for me )
