@Ceeluh7 thanks Chris. Among the ultra-budget single DDs, there is no IEM that is head and neck above the others so I appreciate when something has a good build, is comfortable or comes with good accessories along with having a decent tuning.

@ahammedsojib thanks brother

Truthear is a relatively new brand in the IEM market, but everything they've released so far has been impressive. Their collaboration with Crinacle on the Zero IEMs has definitely helped, but their consistent quality suggests they are either very experienced or supported by industry giants...

EPZ has been gaining more attention lately, and rightfully so. Not only do their IEMs perform well in their respective price ranges, but they also make some of the most cost-effective dongle DAC/Amps on the market. A few months ago, they released the pro versions of their TP20 and TP50...

EPZ isn’t exactly a newcomer in the IEM market, but it has recently gained popularity. EPZ's latest releases have been well-received, with the Q5 being particularly successful. Although I haven’t tried it yet, their 5 Balanced Armature set, the 530, is receiving very positive reviews despite...

@David Haworth you are right. Graph definitely shows more bass than I hear but even with my best sealing tips in different sizes didn't help. Making passive radiator work in high frequencies probably causes some leakage here

I am a fan of BQEYZ brand IEMs. They always strive to create something unique with their offerings. The Autumn model featured innovative tuning filters, while Winter and Wind utilized self-developed bone conduction drivers. Now, with the Cloud, they have ventured into passive radiator territory...

Kefine is a relatively new brand in audio, and Delci is their second offering in the IEM market. Their first IEM, Klanar, received good reviews, although I haven't had the chance to try it myself. Delci has been getting rave reviews as well, which raised my expectations considerably. Let's find...

If you want to stay strickly under 100 usd, planars offer best technicalities for the price and artti t10 offers the best value. Otherwise you can't get anything better than EA500LM, at least I haven't tried anything better

comparable to any dongle around 100-150 price range. It's competent but inferior to 4.4 mm of course

Celest, the sister brand of Kinera aimed at a younger audience, often offers gaming-oriented products apart from IEMs. I reviewed their Ruyi cable with a boom mic last year and still use it while gaming. The Wyvern, which I also reviewed, has a similar cable, making it an even more appealing...

Hiby is mostly known for their digital audio players and applications like Hiby Music and Hiby Cast. Occasionally, they release earphones, which consistently receive praise. This time, they have collaborated with the boutique earphone brand F.Audio to bring us the Project Ace. Typically...

Remember when Hiby released the M300 under a new brand, Hiby Digital? That one was in the same vein as later Sony A Series Walkmans and became quite popular. But that’s old news now. The new rage is the R4. Has Hiby finally lost it, releasing such a feature-packed product for only $249...

Kinera is one of the longstanding players in the IEM industry. While I'm familiar with products from Kinera’s sister brands Queen of Audio and Celest, Freya 2.0 marks the first time I've spent an extended period of time with a Kinera IEM. There is a lot to discuss about these $269 IEMs, so let’s...

EA1000 has been one of the IEMs that I have been very curious to try since its release. Although the initial hype already died out, it doesn’t mean that it’s not relevant anymore. In fact, any newly released single DD that is around 200 USD is put against EA1000. Good gear is eternal after all...

TRN is mostly known for their budget offerings and CS4 is one of them. Until these were offered to be sent to me, I wasn’t even aware that they existed. So here I am letting you know that these exist. This barebones set of IEMs starts from 9.90 USD. If you want a cable with a microphone you...

R6 Pro II is, as the name implies, the second iteration of the improved Pro version of the R6 line of Digital Audio Players from Hiby. Although I have known and followed Hiby as a company, R6 Pro II is the first of their products I have actually used. Retailing at 749 USD, this DAP has some...

Hifiman is mostly known for their open-back planar magnetic headphones and I myself own 3 pairs. As you may already know, almost all of their headphone offerings have become benchmarks in their respective price ranges. Other than headphones, they make IEMs, digital to analog converters...
