For me, the Delci and EA500 would be in the blind buy category. I also find the timbre of EA500lm quite inconsistent and at times very off too. Definitely not in the blind buy list for me. In terms of technicalities, I find Dunu Titan S2 far better than EA500LM. It's just my opinion though.
Actually I did not include the Hexa because it was a little long in the tooth. The thing about the Hexa is that this is quite a curious IEM. It has a sub-bass focused that transitions to a scooped mid-bass. On the whole bass isn't plenty to begin with and this causes a lack of dynamics which made them suffer with certain music. But you are right to say that they are great for acoustic and indie, generally for music that already has decent amount of dynamics. But the lack of dynamics is quite an issue with lots of other genres such as pop, rock and anything that is more pulse focus. Also just to add, for its sort of signature to work, it needs to have resolution to make them interesting. Which I found that they are quite decent but not enough to be exciting. Ranking them, I would put them beside the Dunu Titan S2. I found both to have similar levels of resolution.
Where does the epz q1 pro stands? I think it's decent in technicalities & resolution or "better" than the celest abyss & gate? Also the Kefine X Angelears delci AE is coming.. hope you will review it :))
Where do you think the Moondrop May belong on the list? They've got DSP cables and uses Type-C which make them very versatile for everyday uses nowadays, so considering on buying one.
thanks for making this tier list, it gives me a good reference. but i want to ask, among them, which one is overall good in terms of tonal balance and technicalities? my playlist is pretty random, sometimes i listen to energetic songs to boost my mood and mellow songs when chilling. but i want to have IEMs that are fun to listen to.
delci vs sonus ,in term musicality or technicality which should i priority? if to look of tonality it seem i suit more toward delci but i heard so many praise to sonus and it more cheaper than delci here . but the sonus tonality and FR seem not for me , do you think is it better to buy sonus instead of delci because it maybe better technicality and EQ to suit my taste ?
A newish budget 1dd iem called the ND Venus sounds better than 90% of these iems imo, only like $15 on Amazon. Won’t hurt to try them out especially with easy returns.
Firstly. A graph is useless for determining technical/resolution. The OG Zero just out-classes the Gate when it comes to resolution. Another point is that the Zero is made better than the gate. Both are plastic but not all plastics are equal.
Would like to ask that how does the Sonus compete with the 4U in terms of technicalities? (I’m currently looking for something neutral like the 7hz Zero) ty and have a nice day!
@@sujeanpaulino6667 i agree with him, i had both the 7hz zero and hexa..hexa was lacking energy so they were boring..then i took out the tuning filters and the timbre of the BA's started to show itself and they were unlistenable. So i threw them away and kept my 7hz zero, which sound beautiful, have good bass and the highs are crisp
@aboutobama1 Seeing as both the Nuo and Delci are warm-ish IEMs that aren't too bassy, which do you prefer? Which has the lease sibilance and are non-fatiguing for long listening? What about comfort and nozzle size? Lastly, do they work well for immersive gaming/movies? Thanks!
@@miershyk The Nuo is actually priced in a lower bracket and it is a tier below the more expensive Delci. If money is no object , then the Delci for sure.
For lower budget stuffs where comfort and sound matters most sure. But the hundo price is already really high for some ppl and theyd expect something that looks decent. Not to mention alot of iems at this price bracket does look good so makes for a better rec.
