In a separate thread, I asked: what is the best single DD IEM you can buy today?

It turned out a lot of people had a lot of opinions. So here's a poll! I did my best to pluck the most common responses.

Two things to note:

• The IEM world moves lightning fast. This is a poll started on Feb 1, 2024.
• The "best" is obviously subjective and there is no actual best for all the obvious reasons.

Cheers!

IE600 is good for the price,
but IE900 can be better,
as it has "improvements" over the IE600,
over all of the bass, mids & treble.
Either way, both are:
- quite V-shaped tuning
- very well made, with metal shells
- extremely comfortable to wear

Can confirm. Everything else is a downgrade

The Softears Turii Ti has fantastic top-tier musicality,
but also amazingly expensive too.
