Did you ever hear the LP6, or just the P6 Pro?
You said the LP6 is a brick...it's it much heavier than P6Pro? I certainly don't consider it a brick.

I'm guessing you weren't born in Asia and do you listen to Asian songs? your English shouldn't be a second language. my English is definitely not good , Don't laugh at me bro

Actually I was born in SE Asia, 🇹🇭 , English is my second language and I listen extensively to various genres of Persian, Indian, Thai and other SE Asian, Japanese and Korean traditional, folk and modern music in addition to electronica, classic rock, jazz, classical, R&B soul, hip hop and country, etc.

Yup it is considerably heavier than the P6 Pro.

Watercoolers, what 3 IEMs own your heart at this moment in time?

This is not meant to be a "best of all time" poll. The aim here is to get a picture of what people are enfatuated with at this moment in time. A current reading of the Watercooler Charts as it were.

For anyone interested past polls, including the just referenced "Spring 2022" poll which took place last year on Easter weekend, will be found on the first page of the thread.

I'm down to just 3 IEMs now although I might eliminate one of them, so here's the 3:

1. 64 Audio Fourte Blanc
2. Vision Ears Phonix LE
3. FiR Xenon 6

Will have FATFreq Maestro SE and Noble Ronin demos soon and so I'll see how that goes. Also, curious to try the FiR RN6 and 64 Audio U4s.

Asian, love my XE6 and care less about treble 😹

If I want cold, I'd take a cold 🚿
I see my cue: "Do y'all have more of those upper m-" *ducks*

Your asian credentials have been revoked 😜

I don't think it's just that they don't have them. Traillii, for example, never got anywhere near the regard we give it elsewhere that I am aware of.
Negativity to get clicks. Traillii was already selling well and we all reviewed it well before any of the YouTube reviewers. When they then reviewed it, they felt the need to be different and went negative.

I also feel many of the YouTube reviewers do not know very much when it comes to IEM’s. So many of them fell in love with the A8000 which is really not that great of an IEM in comparison to the best available. The proof is hardly anyone today is high on it. Just because someone is a self professed reviewer does not mean they know more than you do.

I see, your English is really good, XE6 has bad reviews in China, RN6 is generally rated much better. But for me I think XE6 is okay , I think it depends on what kind of music u listening(cuz I love Hip Hop Songs)

Traillii staying power is still unbelievable. Almost as amazing as Jewel's fall. RN6 making an impressive debut. It should be stealing votes away from XE6, too.

Traillii is certainly not giving up without a fight. IER Z1R hanging on like a cockroach also. Part of it is that we had more buy in than in past polls I think, judging by numbers. Here is a chart showing the results of each of the 5 such "top 3 IEM" polls.

am surprised z1r is hanging in there with the recent and top 10 iem given that it is 4+ years old. Well DD and BA have not evolved as much with the introduction of EST and Planar for iem. i guess the key factor is the balance of tuning and resolution that still have the support of this forum.

Thanks to @Rockwell75, this forum has grown signicantly and more representation of the diverse community and taste in gear and music.
