Personally, my favorite IEM in this ranking is the Hook-X. This IEM is open-back and has a unique sound stage. Even if I get a end-game IEM, I still want to keep this one.
@@bones6448 There is some sound leakage, though not as much as open-back headphones. Also, some outside noise comes in, so it's not suitable for noisy places. For Example, It's not recommended to listen on trains or buses. I like listen to it in a quiet and wide park, it gives me a very open feeling.
i have hook x and after retuned with eq it's sound amazing, i use neutron player on fiio m11, for the eq i cut it -2.5db around 4.5k (moderate bandwidth) and boost several db of midrange around 750hz-2khz, cut -2db on the mid low to tightened the bass around 200hz (super narrow bandwidth), and boost in sub bass area (below 80 hz) with low shelf filter.
Great comparisons, always fun seeing comparisons and top iems in a price range. I'm making the most of the IEMs I have so watching for entertainment rather than a buying decision, for now. I bought the 7hz Timeless and ie600, in part because of your reviews and loving them both! The Timeless is so much fun and I find it comfortable for long periods. Also, enjoying the IE600, espcially for classical.

Got the original S12's some months ago. Love them! They may actually look V-shaped but they really don't sound that way. Vocals, mid-ranged instruments, etc, all sound "right there" and are not recessed. However. if the recording is done in a way where the vocals are in the background, the S12's will certainly let you know that. Even with that, they are so detailed and technical. It's pretty much all I listen to nowadays. But with so many planar IEM's out there now, I'm getting more curious about them day by day.

Hey Timmy, love your videos! I had a question for you, are you a musician at all? i would love to see tier list like this with the best IEMs for musicians to use in live performance/ rehearsal. I have recently started using IEMs for rehearsal with my new band and i wish i would have gotten some years ago! I have always used musician earplugs to protect my hearing, but i never knew i could protect my hearing and still hear everyone properly! i don't think i'll ever play without them again!
Hey Timmy, I have recently bought the Hana 2021 and the S12 Pro and I love them both Can you please tell me the next honest significant step up from those so I can save up?
Hi all! Yes there are so many iems out there and have heard great things about both p5 and the penon vortex. I might go for one of them or wait for the new kiwi orchestra lite...
I have a ton of IEM's (over 60) and I store them in connecting boxes. As new IEM's come in I put them in the box where I think they fit. The lower they are, the more likely they end up going to family members. The OH10 has never left the top box. Ever. Those and the BLON 03 are still in my rotation (along with about 6 others). Yes, the BLON 3 is not all that resolving and might sound muddy at times but overall, for 30.00 I love it.
Question about the google sheets; why does a section have a maximum worth it price when items are far past that price within the list? Does that make the item less of a value in said category?
Price and performance are two different things. Performance rating are the tiers. Regardless of price if it's in the same tier it performs on the same level. Maximum worth it price just indicated how much you should spend of said tier and anymore than that is not worth it.
Seeing your video and having ordered my kato Just about now i wonder If It was a good choice. I wanted a better version of my Aria and the performer 5 doesnt looked like It in the reviews. I wanted the same Aria feeling but better.

I really wanted to like the S12, and perhaps my set was a dud for some reaosn, but the bass was somehow off-note or dissonant.

How can ppl be vouching for this aful iem when it got released just today, basically nobody has it but some reviewers. I say chill and wait a few weeks/months let real reviews and opinions come in not jump to conclusions so fast.
It was the same for me. There's something wrong with the shape tho I have small ears. I tried long earstem eartips to not press the iem really hard into my ears, then changed the cables to a softer one cause the stock cable is also too stiff for my liking. So far, it improved the comfort but still not in the level of my most comfortable iems
@@WindMills_ yea i got small ears too but the cable for me was just super uncomfortable and felt like it was about to fall out of my ear at all times and i got really annoyed by it. But i refunded it before i got a new cable and my new iem also has a bad cable. So, i bought the kinera ace cable which is actually quite comfortable

@@WindMills_ nah that’s not the problem the cable and the shape of the s12 is uncomfortable but the iem sounds good
It was the same for me. There's something wrong with the shape tho I have small ears.
I tried long earstem eartips to not press the iem really hard into my ears, then changed the cables to a softer one cause the stock cable is also too stiff for my liking. So far, it improved the comfort but still not in the level of my most comfortable iems
@@WindMills_ yea i got small ears too but the cable for me was just super uncomfortable and felt like it was about to fall out of my ear at all times and i got really annoyed by it. But i refunded it before i got a new cable and my new iem also has a bad cable. So, i bought the kinera ace cable which is actually quite comfortable
👍
I'm dead
I'm your opposite when it comes to S12. I really can't stand it. It sound unnatural and it hurts my ear. Can't listen to it for more than 1 song. haha
U pick #1 as aful which basically didn't even get released.. And say nothing, makes sense lol. Makes me wanna buy it 🙄😄 I think I'll wait a few months see real reviews first
He reviewed them.
Hey Timmy,
I have recently bought the Hana 2021 and the S12 Pro and I love them both
Can you please tell me the next honest significant step up from those so I can save up?
