Kefine kleans have a great look, excellent build quality, quality cable, nice sound but are slightly quiet for me when comparing to zero2, simgot ew200,trn conch, chu2, kz edx

If u want a similar form factor i can recommend trn conch, but more so the kefine delci (personal recommendation)

TRN Conch. It's a shame because it's really well made and comes with some very good accessories. But it has a massive peak in the treble that's like being stabbed in the ears repeatedly. I can sometimes fix that sort of problem by tip rolling, but couldn't do anything in this case and had to return them as completely unlistenable.

I would buy the Wan'er 2 for the tips, but not the cable, which is so-so. I would buy the Truthear Gate for the cable. Also the tips are Whizzer SS20 / KBear Coffee tips, which are very good (but not expensive). Neither of these cables (which are 2-pin) would fit properly on the Castor, which uses QDC. I would buy the TRN Conch for both its cable (RedChain) and tips (TRN T-Tips in all 3 sizes, which they don't sell separately - you normally have to buy a pack with 3 pairs of tips the same size). The IEM is quite bright and stabby-sounding so I don't particularly recommend it unless it's cheaper than buying the cable & tips on their own, although the build quality is quite good. The TRN RedChain will fit the KZs and it's the cable I have on my Castor Bass. It's a very nice cable and one of the cheapest modular cables you can get. Also consider just buying the QKZ T1 cable as you can find it for about $4-5 and it's very good if you only need 3.5mm. There's also nothing really wrong with the KZ Starline tips. If you want to get into tip-rolling, you really need to buy a selection to experiment with rather than one "premium" set of tips, because it doesn't really work like that. I have some [recommendations](https://old.reddit.com/r/iems/comments/1dw6c4l/what_are_your_top_recommendations_for_eartips/lbspp1t/).

Kefine already have some of the best accessories. But other than them, TRN tend to be very good. But most TRN IEMs sound like crap. The Conch for example has an [excruciating treble peak somewhere around 12kHz](https://pw.squig.link/?share=TRN_Conch_Red,IEF_Comp_Target) that sounds incredibly harsh & stabby. The only TRN I would recommend is the Shell, which while it's not perfect (it has a slight issue with vocals seeming to vary in volume in some tracks), it overall sounds good, looks good and is pretty well made (solid metal shell etc.). Comes with a good modular cable, really good case if you want a hard one (not the most pocketable but great for travelling, for maximum protection) and 4 sets of tips including a full set of T-Tips (which are some of the best tips you can buy - they're actually surprisingly cheap on their own, but there's no multipack, so it's a pain to just get one of each size to try out). I got my Shell for $40 on sale and at that price it's one of the best bargains in audio right now. I also prefer it, in terms of sound quality, to the Simgot EW300, which has a lot of similarities in how it sounds (but more flaws IMO), costs twice as much, and doesn't have the same accessories. The Juzear Clear if you can find it on sale for around $20 may be worth buying just for it's cable and case. However, the IEM itself has some [really bad QC problems](/r/iems/comments/1insj4z/some_thoughts_on_the_juzear_clear_and_myer_audio/) so it's hard to recommend unless you really want the cable it comes with. It does sell for around $20 separately so it's literally a free IEM & case, if you were planning to but the cable anyway. The iBasso Klee isn't the absolute best in terms of accessories, but at around $40 (ostensibly $80 but it's been on perma-sale since about August) it's one of the better 1DD IEMs (similar, possibly the same, driver used in the Simgot EA500LM and Dunu Falcon Ultra). The one accessory it has is a surprisingly good modular cable in an unusual shade of purple. You can't buy that cable afaik, nor you can you buy another cable in the same colour (there are lots of purple cables but they're usually much brighter). It comes with a few sets of tips but they're all quite generic. I got the blue Klee, so the purple cable doesn't really match it, but it does match some of my other IEMs, so I put a blue cable on the Klee and I'm using the Klee cable on something else.

IEMs cables can be swapped to many other 3rd party cables no matter if( 2 pin 0.78mm or 0.75mm) S pin/QDC or MMCX Or others I have adapters for my Sennheiser ie200 ie600 that allows 2 pin 0.78mm cable to be used with them. TBH all my IEMs use different cables and different tips than what they came with as my own preference. Tips are very important for the sound of IEMs to get a proper seal in your ears. The tips and seal can make a huge difference between each person using the IEMs the better the seal the better the sound. Watch YT review Audio monk is a good iem and dap reviewer Gizaudio is another Super reviews is also ok The DUNU titan X looks good dual drivers metal shell 37 $ AliExpress YT review... https://youtu.be/JMjY45C6a0I Cheaper single Dynamic driver IEMs would be the TRN Conch to dip your toes in the water decent quality for cheap price also a lot of extras included for the QDC cable. I got mine for 13usd from AliExpress You just need to try a few different IEMs and pick up a few different types of cheaper IEMs to find what you like driver and tuning wise. More mids more treble or lower Along with a selection of IEMs tips to get the best seal you can the seal can help make IEMs sing So you find your preferred sound profile of IEMs I started with a couple of cheap kz IEMs like the Castor bass edition IEMs Then I tried a few TRN IEMs TRN Conch IEMs TRN crinnical zero red IEMs good bass Attri T10 planar IEM planar Planar only driver IEMs is too peaky to many ears For me it's fatigue which gives me a headache after a short while micro planar as part of a multi driver setup in IEMs can give great details retrieval combined with Dynamic driver and BA drivers. Everyone is different to what tunings or drivers they like prefer or what their own ears can stand. Planar can give a fast punchy pace with fast bass, high treble more detail retrieval. But so can a combo of Dynamic driver & BAs combos. Then i tried some more expensive multi driver IEMs some can be found cheaper in sales. I don't think I paid full price for any IEMs after the zero reds due to sales or discount codes from AliExpress and it's games login daily to build up coins that give money off once you have items in basket. For a good bass the QOA Adonis new IEMs I really like They are great also have nice details for instrumental music. EPZ P50 IEMs = Crystal clear sound. Awful performer 5+2 great alrounder good details good bass. Shanling Me600 are a warmer IEM to my ears like old 70s fuller warmer speakers and Amps metal shells gives nice bass and details. PULA PA02 IEMs to me gives fast punchy sound great alrounder as well Sennheiser ie200 tape modded f With memory foam tips good for acoustics MTV unplugged music Sennheiser ie600 better sound than the ie200 but for the price I think some of the ones above do sound better but the fitting cannot be beaten these can sit in your ears all day night with zero discomfort at all. But are pricey for a single 7mm Dynamic driver. Cables Lots of cheap decent OCC cables to be had for cheap. Yongse makes some cheap but decent quality IEMs cables depending on if you want a braided thin or thicker cable in different materials terminations. Most expensive cable I own are DUNU hulk IEMs cables can buy in either MMCX or 2Pin and have a modular connection so can swap terminations to type C 2.5mm 3.tmm 3.5mm pro or 4.4mm. I buy from AliExpress during sales discounts and wait for a week or more sometimes Because it's much cheaper if you're buying during a sale. You can look up the connection of your IEMs type and then buy in 3.5mm or 4.4 some cables have switchable plugs For 3.5mm to 4.4mm. So you can swap over from 3.5mm to 4.4mm. depending on what you are hooking them into Sometimes the manufacturers can make the IEMs and offer them in different connections MMCX or 2Pin 0.78mm You can pick which IEMs sound profile you prefer Then look for alternative cables and tips The QDC/ S pin connections tends to be the Cheaper IEMs mostly like KZ offerings. They sell a lot bectthey are cheaper than most but quality control can be a little off from set to set. Whilst other manufacturers Of the more expensive IEMs tend to use either 0.78mm 2 Pin Or MMCX or both As it's terminations into IEMs anything usually over 30 or 40 USD tends to use MMCX or 0.78mm. It is all trial and error for IEM sound profile Or watch a lot of reviews on YT to get a feel for what they say about said IEMs A single Dynamic driver can produce some great sound alone So not always the need to jump up to multi driver IEMs with BAs (balanced armatures) Or planar magnetic drivers or micro planar drivers which can range from a few USD to hundreds depending on it's manufacturer the coating used or tunings until you find your preferred sound profile. I would start with YouTube and watch a few reviews look up what sound profile you are wanting from your IEMs. Using IEMs on stage you may just want a neutral plain sound profile Whereas most music listeners many enjoy a more fun engaging sound that performers do not want whilst performing

Wyvern black give better performance for the segment, and also the Conch, it's fabulous if you love good treble

I did.. My comment wasn't even specifically to you, more of just a general comment, it's always the same little group of iem's, I suppose it's good for those companies, as I would suspect a big portion of noob purchases are one or the other of those. Above, I recommended the KZ ZVX Pro, and herewith I recommend the TRN Conch. They are both really very good.

I would recommend the KZ ZVX Pro, it's about the best they have in the ultra budget space, and frankly, it stomps all over wan'er and stuff like that, around $17, beautiful metal shell, very small and fits great. Keep trying different tips till you get something that works, but the black ones that come with it are actually alright.

Estou com um TRN Conch agora, eu particularmente preferi o Chu 2 para Metal, o TRN embola fácil demais em músicas mais rápidas, um Black Metal podrão por exemplo, mas tem graves mais presentes e melhores que o do Chu 2, no resto creio que o Chu ganhe. Lembrando que não leve minha opinião como regra, você pode se decepcionar, apesar da minha opinião é um fato que o TRN é mais fácil de se gostar.

Started with the kz zst, moved on to the zsn pros, they felt like a sidegrade, different taste, in fact I preferred the zst.  Then my brother lost the zst and also the zsn pros so I got the 7hz zero... Not impressed NGL, they were so boring and thin sounding (it was early on and I didn't know about my tuning preferences) dull! But they were unreal with EQ, amazing!!! 😍  Then I got the s12 and I was once again disappointed 😞 it was so bright! And... Honestly not that special (I was driving them out of my computer's headphone jack). Then I got the VE Abigail pro dongle and it was an improvement but they were still way too trebly and sharp and bright. Then I got a bunch of stuff... - cvj mei (The timing differences of the various drivers made these unlistenable for me) - tripowin piccolo (gave it away, too safe) - ew200 (way too bright and thin and lean but these are amazing drivers for EQ) - Trn conch (good accessories but bad treble but amazing for mods) - kiwi ears cadenza (I wish they fit me, a lil too v shaped for my taste) - kz dfi (why have I been spending so much when 5 bucks is enough?) - zvx (opened it up cause I suspected the driver was revised, I was right, quite trebly) - PR2 (shout city but planar for 15 bucks, whatever, awesome for EQ and mods, king of price to performance, recently got another one for 7 bucks, ridiculous!!!!) - Zs10 pro 2 (typical kz tuning stock, amazing for EQ, this was my first proper hybrid, competes with planar maybe 🤔) - tangzu fudu (awesome for 30 bucks on sale, good tips and cable... I wish I could get it again for that price, Zs10 pro 2 with EQ is better and cheaper so nevermind) - oh yeah and the xsl X one! (Ew200 has a better driver fight me, tuning is super fun though.) - faaeal iris 2.0 (earbuds are something else huh... Shame they hurt my ears) Then I quit for a while and now ima make my own iems, thanks for the opportunity to remember the journey My faves are prolly the zst, ew200, Zs10 pro 2, D-fi and probably the PR2 at the top. I always EQ and mod, fudu is probably the best stock, or d-fi

Eu iria no TRN Conch. Dos abaixo de 50 usd, é o que mais uso e o que vem mais acessórios. Só a quantidade de acessório já compensa demais pois mudam bastante como o fone soa. Sei que nem está na sua lista, mas de uma olhada na Ali e em vídeos sobre ele.

Sim, bem decente e relativamente neutro. Ele vem com uma porrada de conchas de diversos materiais e tamanhos e com três bocais diferentes que vão valorizar ou amenizar os graves, médios e agudos. É tanta coisa pra personalizar que o fone fica bem diferente dependendo das combinações que você faz. Para um sub 50, acho o melhor custo-beneficio, além de ter um som muito bom mesmo pra categoria.

I have the KZ caster Pro, KZ x Angel ears, KZ × HBB DQ6S, TRN Conch and the TRN V10 Pro ♥

I got a set of each and I could still not fit them, sadly and they were not the smallest I had found either. I got a random cheapo pair off AliExpress and they're about half a millimetre smaller, but still not small enough :(
