Lol. Love the Alien / Etymotic piece!!! Man you’re on a roll right now! Timmy ! Thanks for sharing. I’m a sucker for this kind of top ranking videos, especially for vocals!
Hi Timmy! So glad you recommended the Diva, mine finally came in and it blew my socks off! Listing to CHVRCHES, Lapsley, and Caroline Polachek. I can't stop listening to it! Fantastic!
I’ve now been able to confirm the RSV is absolutely amazing for vocals. The Diva is still the queen, but the RSV, Tin P1 Max and the OG Dark Magicians get the job done 90% of the way there.
regarding the Gaea, is it good for softer female j-pop vocals with orchestral background, or good for k-pop style exciting vocals? RSV or Studio 4 is better?
Timmy, have you heard the Diva 2023 version to compare that the special sauce is still there? It changed internal wiring, nozzle material, and even cable. One person said the magic was gone. Was wondering if you have heard it to verify.
@@ricardoj8860 well most ppl say 2023 is good, but the general consensus is 2021 is better. the creator of Elysian always does these stuff and pretends they are upgrades. but his 2021 version has QC issues too so will have to buy at own risk. I honestly don't feel like buying Elysian stuff because his 1st batches are generally considered better (even for the Annihilator for those who can tell the difference). The problem: new releases are 50% fake hype, so you can't really buy when it's new. Now, the dude releases an inferior version later, so for those suckered into buying them, they didn't get the real thing. For "new" Summit-Fi releases, I currently only trust Unique Melody and Subtonic. These 2 brands have true TOTL technicalities, not relying on bass quantity or tonality tricks to sound good, but actual TOTL techs that far surpass the kilobuck IEMs.
SoftEars Volume owner here. These things have only gotten better with time. I think the drivers take an incredibly long time to break in, but when they do..... wow.
Sa6 is more of a relaxed listen with tons of warmth. He seems to pick neutral + bass tuned for his vocal lists. But i do like the sa6 vocals. Just not my go to tuning when i crave vocals specifically.
Hmm.. you left the Monarch MKII out of the list but it was your top for vocals just a year ago I believe. 🤔 then kept the Variations considering its vocals are thin in majority of tracks.
@@letsmobiles3396 yeah, though I thought Timmy will just notch it a spot below since he kept alot of Softears options in the list but instead left it out of the list altogether despite being his top choice back then. No biggie though.
@@Gizaudio yep, saw it as a side mention though thought it didn't deserve a spot just after a year since the Softears got so many. No biggie, thanks for clearing it up!👌 Great content as always (maybe you should do a vid featuring mk2s or downgrade sequels that are not-so-great such as the Oracle mk2, MEST, Aria Snow, Solaris 2020, CRA Gold and HD660s etc)😜
@D M41n Man Yeah, the softears got many mentions because they all sounded different enough from each other. Whereas Oracle MK1 and Monarch 2 tuning wise is very similar.

Yeah, Oracle MK1 are great choice for vocals - got myself used ones not long ago and I'm very happy!
How do instruments sound on it ?
Can confirm about the Wa'ner, for the price they are really good.
Looking good Timmy! Favs would be Diva, OG Dark Magician, RSV, Moonlight, Kinda lava 👌
Golden Ears?? You should make best vocals video also. Btw, you got +1 subscriber :)
When you name a $900 item as an 'honorable mention' I know I might be on the wrong video.

Are you talking about the OG Diva or the 2023 Diva?
Timmy please do a list of best IEMs for listening to metal.
Softears is my favourite IEM brand, not just for vocals.
regarding the Gaea, is it good for softer female j-pop vocals with orchestral background, or good for k-pop style exciting vocals?
RSV or Studio 4 is better?
Not able to get it anymore, but AüR Audio Aure is probably one of the best vocal IEMs out there.
I've heard great things about Aure. Have you had the chance to compare it to the RSV, Studio 4, or Diva?
I did not expect to see the ER2 line up here, but goddamn, if that's the case, maybe I should consider them
"Thieaudio oracle mark 1 not mark 2 it's sucks" that hit hard😂😂
Glad my fav Gaea got a honarble mention
I'm already blown away by the Variations. I can't even imagine how the others would sound like.
diminishing returns my friend
@@chestnutrice9855 sorry, could you tell what's the meaning of that word?
@@Azhariputra666 less sound improvement for much higher price increase
@@johnbenedictrodriguez3189 aah thanks 👍
Variations really that good? I can’t decide on an IEM under $600
Hey Timmy, as a fellow vocal lover, the best is the Aür audio Aure, even compared to the diva
Why
What about AuR Audio Aurora?
still waiting for your supernova review Timmy
Hai Timmy, Well I thought you gonna include the Galileo in this list 😆
Hey Timmy. Curious to know if you’ve ever tried the Shozy magma? It looks like an interesting tribrid. How are the vocals, if you’ve tried it?
have you tried the seeaudio bravery AE?
🔥yess love the listing videos. Can you add more like non audiophiles experience iems
Thank you
My Diva is coming in 3-7 weeks. Can't wait.
can you give your impressions of the Diva? Which version Diva is it? Does it live up to the hype or it takes time to adjust to it?
Thought Tanchjim ola will be here for budget ones
Timmy, have you heard the Diva 2023 version to compare that the special sauce is still there? It changed internal wiring, nozzle material, and even cable. One person said the magic was gone. Was wondering if you have heard it to verify.
If you know please tell me I have diva 2023 and I like it, specially with female vocals but never listened diva 2021

Wheres the Xenns mangird?
How's the Diva 2023 and Annihilator 2023?

Hi Timmy. Im suprised that Moondrop S8 did not make it to the list and it graphs quite similary to Monarch II and Blessing 3. What is the reason?
BA timbre
Can you do one for BASS LOVERS?
I can never understand the stuff you mumble in the intro 😂. I hear Timmy and Gizaudio and that’s it.
do one for bass and mid lovers!!!
Hidition Viento-B Custom Vs Elysian Diva?
Yes
please update the list for kpop and jpop:D
++
As an overall iem do you prefer studio 4 or rsv? Also I feel like you ranked the rsv Lower than how you describe it :)
I have a question, what do you think is better dunu titan s or tri kai? because I can't choose who is the best of the two of them.
Plsss helppp!! 😅🤣
The term “favourite house” is from fragrance’s world 😃
i tought timmy target was based on the OG Monarch
Too bad i hadnt spent enough time with the Diva! We would have the same target by now ahaha
Hi Timmy, do you think the Variations is still a better IEM than Blessing 3?
WAITING FOR THE BASS IEM LIST UPDATE☺
Thinking about
What if Timmy did a collab on a planar iem and tuned like the Diva
The result would blow up the market🧐
oxy is my pick for vocal😘
Diva FTW 🤘🏻
A great set for those who want warm vocals is the tin p1 max.
What is your opinion when compared to timeless?
no tanchjim tanya?
Hey giz, would love to see you review supernova and Helios one day.
Speaking vocals only, Tanchjim Ola is amazing. Even better than Hexa in this regard.
Is it comparable with iems over 150 like shuoer s12 or moondrop kato?
@@lehung541 I've had S12 Pro and prefer Ola strictly for vocals. If you're not a basshead you should enjoy it too.
is tanchjim really good for vocals compare to dunu titan s? have you ever tried reecho sg01 ?
No Dunu SA6?
Sa6 is more of a relaxed listen with tons of warmth. He seems to pick neutral + bass tuned for his vocal lists. But i do like the sa6 vocals. Just not my go to tuning when i crave vocals specifically.
🎉🎉🎉
Is Wan Er better than QKZ x HBB?
Yes

Oracle mk1 replace the Monarch mk2

Its on the list along side Oracle MK1. I didn't give it it's own spot because it's so similar to Oracle. So I decided just to mention them together
@@Gizaudio yep, saw it as a side mention though thought it didn't deserve a spot just after a year since the Softears got so many.

💚💚
did nothing happen? you seem nervous or.. don't know.. what's wrong
why Mangird Xenns Top not in the list?
Similar to Variations but Variations had better vocals
damn no tanchjim in the list
The Gaea really on some next level vocal energy 🔥⚡️
Hiditon good but 8khz can't relate 😂.
Love your channel.but please respond to comments regarding the outro music please, it's ear worm frustrating.

@@Gizaudio Thank you, beautiful music 🙂
Vocal lovers: proceeds to put pictures of Ariana grande in the thumbnail lmao
...how are you?
