They’re not on sale, but for that budget, I would recommend the iBasso IT00 or the FiiO FD1.

The IT00 has more sub bass/bass overall and it is more detailed. The FD1 sounds more natural to me, and is smoother, detail is good, but not quite as good as on the IT00. The FD1 bass is more than adequate, and is punchy, but is not a borderline bass head IEM like the IT00.

Oh, the T2 Plus is also another great IEM. See if you can get it for around $50.


I too have both the iBasso IT00 and the Fiio FD1's and completely agree with your evaluation. Whilst both headphones sound quite different to each other, they both have qualities which make them worth having. I'm so impressed with both of them and it's nice to see inexpensive IEM's offering a glimpse into high-end. Using both headphones primarily with the excellent Sony Walkman NW-A55.

All T2+ owners, would like to know how's the mmcx plug? Stiff as T2 or bit normal like others? Thanks in advance.

Since I make and mod my own gear, I’ve been exposed to many different mmcx sockets. The T2+ ones are very good quality.

Pretty good price I think, the NiceHCK store only charge 30 usd for dhl express while all the other stores (the ones with the oxygen at a cheap price) charge 70 usd!

Penon charges $10 and Amazon Japan about $12 for DHL. :) Well, at least for me to NY. $30 is better than $70 and it might even be $30 to some places but not to others but they will charge a safe flat rate and happily keep any extra for themselves. Feel free to correct me if they contact anyone saying it was, for example, only $22 and they refund the $8 or give a store credit.

Hey guys i just watched that although tachjim oxygen is 170$, Tansio Mirai TSMR-3 pro also is at the same price. Do you think is a good contender? I like good mids and detail so i thought one of these might serve me.

Today I was sent some photos from Kinera of the Baldr hand painted color choices. I choose one for them to send to me. They all looks pretty good, so it was hard to choose between them.

Since this new sale i've seen a lot of IEMs go down in price and want to chip in of course. I prefer a W signature or mid centric signature. Of this list which one stands out:
- Ikko oh10
- Tansio mirai tsmr-3 pro
- Shozy Neo CP
- Audiosense AQ3
- Tanchjim Oxygen

I have a KZS s10 pro, an A&D KS3, Hifiman RE600 and i want to step up. more everything.

TSMR-3 and Oxygen stand out IMO, given your stated preferences. Do you prefer DD or BA sound?

I'd suggest either going with TSMR-3 Pro or BGVP VG4 around $200.

Someone else will have to answer for the Oxygen but the TSRM 3pro is a very good pair of IEM's that especially excel in its midrange quality.
