Hello Headfiers,

Havent posted in a while but looking for advice. In a sea of what looks like a million IEMs, I'm looking for an alternate IEM to the Pinnacle P1 for less than $400 cdn. Very happy with the sound of the P1, but I've had them for years and wondering if I'm missing out with the latest wave of IEMs.

I was looking at the following IEMS of various price ranges below $400cdn:

Sennheiser IE200
Letshuoer S12
Tangzu x HBB Wu Heyday
Dunu Titan S
Truthear Hexa
Fiio FH3
Kiwi Ears Cadenza
Hidiz Mp145
KZ ZS10 Pro

Any others to consider? Is the Pinnacle P1 better than all of them? Or different?

I love the details and clarity of the P1. The bass is a tad light but with my Fiio Q1 with bass boost on they sound excellent!

Well I decided to just go with the Fiio FH3 after just going back and forth between trying to decide which one I really wanted. Hopefully sounds good!

Plus I got a replacement cable for my old sennheiser ie80

I had the Sennheiser ie 600. Great headphones. But they have an issue with the cable. If I turn my head the right iem loses the connection... That is a no go for that headphone. So I sent them back and took my P1 out again. They are great for the money. Perhaps too little bass. But otherwise rock solid.

I do find the P1s to be a little bass light with certain music. But if I turn on bass boost on the Fiio Q1, it sounds excellent!

I'm still considering trying the ie200. I just would rather not have to replace the cable right away

I coming from the same setup (p1+q1), are you satisfied with the FH3? im looking for the same rumble and hit that the p1 had with q1 bass boost on, in the low frequencies

Very satisfied with the FH3! It goes quite low, while maintaining clarity throughout the whole frequency range. For the price you pay, it's excellent!
