TRUTHEAR - MT5

With Mic? Can you explain the mic connected to the earbud combo or standalone IEM's? Standalone IEMs, my vote is Truth Ear.

For balanced sound on a budget, KZ ZVX PRO, TRN MT5 (brighter neutral) Tripowin Vivace (bassy neutral) Truthear Gate, Tanchjim Bunny DSP (the usb c dsp gives it custom tuning presets) or Tanchjim Zero Ultima. A lot of good options, look into the accessories, looks, and tuning on [squig.link](https://squig.link) to figure out which ones right for you.

Kz Zvx pro, kz zsn pro 2, cvj night elf, kz vader highres, trn v10 pro, trn v90 pro... The mt5 is all but analytical, is a reshell of the Orca but bad tuned lol.

I bought mine (ND planet) a few days ago so I'm waiting it to arrive the next week maybe?, the Orca is very capable in technicalities, but is not better than the V10 pro in this aspect, ZVX pro is a beast in technicalities maybe trading blows with the Vader HighRes (but the Vader is just in another league, is almost 90% of the CCA Hydro), maybe on pair with the V90 pro and Nightelf, and the ZSN pro 2 is perhaps the only on pair with the Orcas, but with a little more stage and imaging. Btw, i love my Orcas, and i hate my mt5, i know I'm crazy but whatevs ahaha. Cheers mate!

Same here I was using them for gaming I had all the truth ears up to the xenns iems for competitive fps. Then I got super lucky found a brand new sealed Astro a40 with the mixamp like a month ago bought it for $300 and i will never go back to iems like ever ever

I love the sound of the Blue 2’s, but I tried the Tangzu Fudu, Kiwis and 7hz - the only reason I’m considering others is because they feel so much better in my ears. But the sound signature has been better on the Truths by far
