just receive the Artti R1 yesterday but was to hooked to T10 to give them proper listen...

you know, when we got a big housing, it often mean big soundstage and thats exact case here, these arent bad but T10 are way better overall...
its a resonance issue here, so attack lack edge and control, bass lack a bit of rounded punch, thin and wide in smoothen slam, then mids are transparent and open but a bit too focus on upper mids....this mean its not the most versatile tuning and i need more listen to find where they excell if any..
classical seem OK, violin has this attack bite and is well layered, classical dont need punch in bass so...

Hello everyone, I have been reading many pages and I thank you and congratulations for sharing knowledge, at home I only have static (auralic +audeze carbon and Stax+ 009s) which together with the dap astell and kern fill my attention, but your thread has made me rethink the search in the IEM world for something relatively cheap (although it is not a problem) but to start in this audiophile section, I am looking for something to listen to rock-pop and that does not exceed 300 euros.. ...Thank you and best regards.

Any ChiFi IEMs still out there with that long 2-3mm tip / nozzle? Almost every company has now gone to much wider bore size, making it impossible to use my favourite foam tips (comply P professional series that only fit 2-3mm size tips).

Used to buy NiceHK and AudioSense BA IEMs for this use, but both are no longer available.



So, what I'm after is something like below:

Ive been a lot busy lately and completely fell out of audio circle. I was wondering if anyone could in few words point me towards "budget" chifi TWS offerings? I would appreciate it lots. Tyy

Good point. The small nozzle IEMs have kind of disappreared. Some new KZ pieces have smaller nozzles but not that small.

I have 2, NuForce HEM4 and Ultrasone IQ. Would you be interested in them?

Thanks, tried both NuForce and Ultrasone, not my cup of tea.

I have the QCY T5 (based on Crinacle ratings) and they sound very good. Chintzy build, micro USB, and mediocre pairing user experience. Also like most TWS, large tips won't fit in the charging case. Very cheap. Hard to beat sound quality for the price.

I received my Truthear Zero Red's today. They're not as detailed as the Hexa's but overall I'm digging them more. Definitely worth the $55 I paid. Loving my new ChiFi hobby.

Moondrop Space Travel at $25, great sound overall.
The Moondrop Link app lets you choose the sound profile (monitor, reference, basshead) and customize the touch controls.

Thanks. Ive got Sony WF-XB700 right now and they are so bass heavy no amount of EQ helps. Not to mention how much it muddies the sound all the way to mids leaving only highs to pierce your ears. Looking forward to Space Travels

A little late to the 7Hz Zero party, but I just got a pair ($8.99 shipped on AliExpress, worth a punt) and I am shocked at how good these are.

The Space Travel is scary good for how cheap it is. They also just launched the Golden Ages at $79.99 with a planar driver and LDAC support and I ordered one but I don't have it yet, it's still in shipping. I hope it's a better Space Travel in terms of technicalities and detail retrieval.

They're advertised as 6 hrs battery, we'll see how it goes with Planar and LDAC. I automatically pass on any TWS with <6hr battery life. Preferably >8hr as battery degrade in various pace depending how lucky we're. Bought some sealed older model(2021) TWS recently advertised 8hr but only last 4+ hrs out of the box, on the other hand Trn BT20s Pro still going strong after years of regularly use!

BTW where's all the flavors of months?! It used to be a good reference when it comes to sale season. Am I missing some threads for sub $100 goodie discussions? Now I can only check discovery thread for random new buds which mixed with expensive ones.
