Damn, looks like everyone else who's ordered the ME05 has gotten theirs, except me! Mine's is stuck in the US still, and if I've not received mine by Saturday, I should cancel mine.

Thanks, ordered Tanya, will see how muddy they are compareds to Pistons 3 and KZ ZSN.

So Tanya arrived from Shenzhenaudio after 12 days through Ali (combined delivery), very pleasant surprise and good successor to Xiaomi Pistons 3 - quite bassy sound compared to AKG K72 I use daily, maybe also a bit less clear, but at least not hollow metallic sound as KZ ZSN, absolutely no sharp trebles/highs, zero sibilance/hiss, so I'm satisfied, good choice, though maybe too much bass and cable doesn't seem very durable and could be a bit longer. Was supposed to be in plane right now heading to vacation with ZSN, but effin airline cancelled my flight, so have another one booked tomorrow now already with Tanya.

Audiosense AQ4, TRI I3 Pro , Thieaudio Elixir and Tinhifi P1 Max are all worth looking at if you like slightly warm, relaxed tunings. They are all around $200.

Okay I confess, the I3 Pro is more than slightly warm, but it's a really fun listen.

Even less for the TRI Starsea $130, which is more neutral, non-fatiguing, transparent and detailed. Tipsy TTTROMSO (Pinestone sea) is $90, really warm and bassy, one of the most engaging IEMs I've heard in that price range.

Everything I've mentioned has good soundstage and imaging (for it's price), is relaxed in the treble and has heavier note weight and pleasing natural tone. Those are kind of my preferences if you hadn't guessed. Thin and bright tunings have their fans, but I'm not among them. I can't comment on anything in the $300 price range as that's slightly out of my budget. As always YMMV.

Sony XBA N3, KBEAR Aurora, Final Audio E4000, Final Audio E5000. All are darkish sets, quite natural timbre, not too technical though.

Super thanks for the rec. These look interesting.

Thanks for the detailed rec. I feel like you and me have the same taste. I am going to give these a look.

Thanks in going to look into these

Hi all, I'm looking for a cheap "bright-neutral"/"clean"/"clarity-focused" IEM just to expand my palate, so to speak. Note the quotation marks, which is because I have never had a set like those labels so I have no idea what it'll sound like. Bonus if it's particularly good for vocals, as I'm still trying to figure out whether I like warmer vocals or the opposite.

From my cursory search here are my list:

1. HzSound HeartMirror
The legend of budget technicalities, but will take some time to ship from China.

2. Tanchjim Ola
Some claim it's the king of vocals in its price point, but bass roll-off is a concern shared by many, even for a neutral set.

3. Moondrop SSR
? (No impressions)

4. Moondrop SSP
A bassier SSR but I don't know if it's what I'm looking for.

5. Tripowin Lea
? (No impressions)

Which one is the best representation of the described tuning? Are there any other better options?

Thanks.

HzSound HeartMirror all day every day. All others are hugely inferior, imho.
Or the REECHO SG-01 OVA which isn't bright neutral but very clean. I highly recommend it.

Before I read your list, Hearr Mirror was in my mind right away. You got it there also. Definitely would fit your description. You need amping to get the real potential of it. So keep that in mind as well.

$20 Throw a Oxogen filter and enjoy.

If. You like the IKKO Obsidian OH10 and bass not too dark not too forward and more fun than neutral here you go.
