[Ace Bee]

Prices are based on MSRP at time the IEM is launch.

Best single-DD IEM
$50-$100 ISN D02 (Clean and bright, with good subbass depth)
$100-$150 (I will update it after I get my Penon Fan. Haven't heard any higher tier single DD iems)

Best Multi-DD IEM
<$400 (I will update it after I get my Unique Melody 3DT)

Best all-BA IEM
<$650 Custom Art FIBAE 3 (Unmatched note definition and cleanliness)
$1000 Unique Melody (Unique vivid mids, 90% DD like punchy and weighty bass, and tastefully tuned energetic yet not sharp or sibilant highs, paired with an expansive soundstage)

Best Hybrid IEM (2 driver types only, including DD+BA, DD+magnetostat, BA+EST, etc.)
$50-$100 Macaw GT600S (Punchy bass, forward and rich mid, nice treble, clean background, good soundstage for the price - what more to ask for?)
$100-$350 Penon Orb (Smooth and rich, Inoffensive yet musical, a very matured and relaxed airy tuning that slowly engulfs you into its awesomeness)
$350-$600 Little Dot Cu-KIS (Will update this later after more listening)
