It should be here any day? Hades, haha. I still can’t get over the name?

Ahh, excuse me sir, I know you’re a Greek God but.....can you tone the bass down a tad, we are trying to listen to music over here?

Now we just need an IEM called Beelzebub and we can do a three-way Hades/Toneking Lucifer/Beelzebub shootout.

Ask here and we all will say different models :beerchug:
That's the name of the game...isn't it? :)

So, just a while ago, certain IEMs were hyped...and they are very affordable...and very good.
Those are NiceHCK F1 Pro...mentioned, no?

DUNU VULKAN is a bit pricier than F1, but they do things reaaaally well, too.
(and I am waiting for E5000, really curious about it's bass :) )

Fatfreq Maestro Mini is not my first pick, but its still very good V shaped set.
Meteor bass is not the best, while its big and deep its far away from the quality of a good DD.
Seeing you like EDM/Prog House I would recommend something else:

Timsok TS-316 is excellent for electronica and bassy music, with speedy and energetic sound. High quality bass for rumbles and slams. Perhaps love it more on techno and technical electronica.
634ears Miroak II, warm and engaging sound with great slam and organic tonality. Love it myself for stuff like dub or Prog House.
VE SiE delivers a thick bass thats really fun and engaging, still have good energy up top so it doesn't sound dark. Sounds good on most genres that like bass, some would maybe want more sub bass extension since this have thick midbass going into the mids.
TSMR X also have a great bass quality, good texture and slam hard.
Final Audio E5000, this is also something I haven't tried. But is said to be legendary for its dark sound with full bass. I know many who loves it.
Thieaudio Hype4 I haven't tried myself, but my bass electronica aficionado loves it for electronica. One of the best bass performances for him on electronica.
I can only vouch for the VE SIE which is one of my staple pairs for such genres for sure. I often reach for it when I wish for various electronica. They also sound huge to my ears, must be the bass warmth and wonderful fit-and-forget fit that often tricks my mind into thinking I'm listening to speakers.

Yesterday, I hooked Schiit Magni Heresy and Topping E30 on my desk.

I didn't use these for a loooong time. It wasn't quite within the reach of my hands.
So now, I have another setup to listen regularly.

Why am I mentioning this...I am listening to NiceHCK F1 Pro right now (Susumu Yokota), some electronica.

This combo is amazing for this purpose, but I bet other music, too. The bass is great, and the energy is there...it's a party! :)

Ok, all for $250? You have a killer combo! :)

Cheers!

The Hype 4 is a possible goal for me in the short-term. If it is close enough to the Hype 10 and Monarch, I am in.

My First Simgot ... what took me so long?

Just received these beauties and first impressions are promising. More to come once I burn them in some.

One Simgot in and one going out. I sold my EA1000 after spending the last week with the Trio. Just couldn't justify keeping them in my collection anymore.
