Modded BlitzWolf ES1. Metal body, graphene dynamic drivers, 3-button mic, and chin slider. They are flat as a pancake neutral. The mods are easy DIY.

Mod doesn't look too bad but what would you say is the most neutral stock IEM ~$20?

I believe they become neutral after some modding (looking at the frequency response), so I wouldn't say they are the most neutral "stock"


Many praise the T2 as the most neutral budget IEM

I'm surprised the ie800s are so low. I thought for $15, they were supposed to be heavy hitters. I was planning to buy them to replace my lz z03a. I guess my research continues than. The Uiisii do get alot of praise for the price point as well.

I would place them before Remax, but peaky treble is big issue for me.

Of anything I've heard? The Vsonic GR07 Classic for sure. It's been around for a long time and is very well respected by the community.

E-MI CI880

Get the version with the black cable. The white cable is thin and fragile. The new revised cable is a huge improvement.

I’m sure you’ll get some other good suggestions too.

I stopped reading after your #1. Kidding.

Yes, I love KZ zs10 very much. (Sometimes more then my Senn HD 660s) .... clear and deep bass, golden mids and calm, but detailed treble .... this combination is right for me.

I like KZ ZST and KZ ZS6.

KZ ZST $18.99, KZ ZS6 $47.99

Superlux HD381F, has no mic though.

Which IEMs $5~$20 are the most neutral without recessed mids? Preferrably with decent isolation and a microphone

in the sub-$20 realm i'd look at the boarseman kr25 and einsear t2

I don't think you would be disappointed in the GGMM C700. I can't say for sure about isolation because that is not important to me and I don't ride public transport. Also, isolation will depend on the seal that you get... your choice of tips etc.

I love mids (and everything else) on these...they sound big somehow.

 

[GrassFed]

C700 is very neutral to my ears also. Clarity is great without piercing high.
