The ex1000 is still highly respected, and has been for a long time

I'm sure there's fair share of fake reviewers on the Chifi threads as well. So much hot air in this place. You see people's sig full of KZ TFZ, yadda yadda. I see no point of buying and owning a bunch of them just because they are cheap. I'm not saying cost value isn't good, but there's crappy tuned ones on the thread people hype up, and it's just noise. It just turns into a big waste of time in the end.

Maybe some people just enjoy it?

A new project: the "Hype Monitor"

It's hard to keep track of all the new flavours-of-the-month and hypes of the IEM market, so I figured why not try it out.

I'd be interested to know what metrics, if any, are used to determine the status of an iem or if its just general feelings/comments.

sadly my ears can't deal with the treble top end.. and I'm a treble lover, but this still too fizzy for me.

Ran into this Blon-3 measurement from Klaus's blog. Looks like consistency issues. Kaus's blog: https://www.klauseulenbach.de/iem-frequency-response/

Check out the crappy Chifi measurements. I'm very interested in a database of cheap Chifi measurements.

Glad I avoided these... Dodged a bullet.
