Best IEMS in the First Half of 2023 

Thank you so much. Your comment means a lot to me honestly. It does get a little tiring generating a vid or 2 weekly but its people like you who help me on!

Agree!

What about 7hz selnotes zero??

Seems like you will like the Simgot SA500 or 7hz Sonus!

If that is the case, go for things that have lesser upper mid energy such as the simgot ew200, triplowin kailua or blon z300

Hello! I heard the Traillii recently and thought it was a rather nice warm pair and awesome vocals. I think if you like that sort of sound you can go for it. I haven't had the change to listen to the Aroma Jewel yet but will do so next month when I am in Hong Kong!

@@SuperChonk Much Appreciated. Thank you.

They have quite a unique sound with the kinetic bass going on where it sounds quite expansive and there is a 3Dness to the sound. But bass also does lack a bit of texture because of that. I think that they are quirky and kinda prefer the 64 Audio Fourte and Trio. I actually have a xe6.

I love my pair too!

Godly is really stretching it! Say godly for $50 😂

@@Abhi-wn7sw where did you find ea500 at 50 dollars? I see them at 90.

White noise and pink noise all would work. You can find them on Spotify. Just loop them and let it play over night. Some folks don’t believe this but I feel that there is no harm to let them just run. Enjoy your earphones!

@@SuperChonk Is there a certain volume

Did you say gaming? Final VR3000 (it has a mic too!) :) It also doubles as a good earphone in a similar vein as the final A3000

I will have one coming in soon. No idea when but soon.

@@SuperChonk Thanks, will be waiting for your review. I have the EA500, got it for about $58usd. How do you find it's response to EQ? personally I wanted to try more sub bass so I EQ'd to Moondrop variations and it was excellent.

@@anthonyn7847 what's your eq in APO?

@@markevinlagsac3252 Uh, I use Wavelet and AutoEQ the sub bass to mid region of the EA500 to the Moondrop Variations frequency response.

I have a link in description on where to get them :)

@@SuperChonk ok thank you

EA500 is my favorite of the lot too! Its just pretty technical for the price.

​@@SuperChonk @inscythe is the fit of ea500 good? I've heard its open sounding?

@@opiumosaka its very open sounding. don't expect super wide soundstage but the imaging precision and distance between each instrument is very impressive

@@s1lverhand_ The ea500 would be good for me? I'm kinda new to this hobby. I'm thinking about buying an IEM for around 80$ . Can you suggest something to me? I like Pop (sub pops like psychedelic pop, dream pop, alt pop, indie pop), electronica, psychedelic rock, alt rock. I usually listen to Tame Impala, Beach house, crystal castles, Joji, pastel ghost, The neighborhood, Men I trust etc, Tv girl. I need something that has good details, separation & soundstage. Thought about buying the Olina SE but isn't available in my country. so is there anything for around 80$ or should I extend my budget and buy the Dz4?

@@opiumosaka dz4 aint well known for a good soundstage, ea500 on the other hand will provide you the most amount of details after planar IEMs without having a planar timbre. due to that air presence, it sounds open and very well separated. Its even higher res than the em6l and olina se. its an immersive fun type of sound imo.

If I’m honest, still pretty good.

@@SuperChonk Timmy from Gizaudio said it performs with $900 IEMs. Would you agree?

7hz Legato. That is bass head worthy

Hahaha yes and cameras too haha

There is overlap between the two, as they both are obsessed with sound.

Unfortunately not for me! But if it’s one of your favourites please continue to enjoy it :)

I'd say the Quintet will have a decent chance of becoming one of the best IEMs of the year. I have friends who have tried and they all say they are easily the best Kiwi Ears yet - even the pricier ones. They could well end up being a top tier Kiwi Ears price, given the amount of tech crammed in there.

It’s been a while hahaha

@@SuperChonk Nice selections
