My Audio Technica ATH-CKR100 are on the list but not graphed 🥲 Truth to be told they're not very good but I'm still interested to see how they actually measure.
Well done! Beautiful UI, easy to navigate, lots of filter options and extremely extensive list Only thing I would consider adding is reviews of other trusted reviewers, if they have a review on a specific IEM
This is absolutely astonishing, the amount of work gone to make this is unbelievable. You got me and most of my friends into IEMs and hope this continues to next generations..legend in IEM world….
Man I love the passion they have for this hobby…makes me feel as if I’m a using these people’s work for basically nothing…I don’t feel that way often, so when I do, it’s usually because of someone else’s hard work is benefiting me on a whole other level with little or no reward…
This is just awesome. There are a few legacy IEMs I've had back in the days before Chifi and when fixed cables were the norm unless you were spending a significant amount of money which are now on there. I know audio memory is supposed to be quite unreliable but the RHA T20 has always been a mental reference point in audio gear for me as it was the first thing I heard and then caved in to buy as it was a noticeable step up from what I had at the time. It's that set which I mentally compare a lot of the chifi stuff to still today as if I'm not similarly impressed then I don't see the point in upgrading or at the very least picking a set up as a complimentary set.
As a newbie into the hobby I really like and appreciate this channel. One thing that bothers me though is if you can adjust so much with EQ why even spend hundreds of dollars into headphones 💁🏽
Phase and impulse response, that would be the technical reason, but it is true that for the average individual all that is important is a moose poop on a stick.
Interesting, so only 8 EST (not hybrid) ever made so far ? I understand it is very niche but i wonder if it's the complexity of making one or the cost (or both) that stop them from doing more. One might think at least one company would see it as a challenge and give it a try. But from what i can tell we only got KSE1200 (2018), KSE1500 (2015) and SR-003Mk2 (2012) in the past decade. Feels like an eternity in IEMs world. 🤷♂
I think the thing is that there's not much of a point. It already exists so it's not like you're doing anything new by making a pure-EST IEM. And SQ-wise it's been proven time-and-again that a hybrid approach just works better, the only type of driver that even gives comparable SQ to modern hybrids on its own is DD. Not to mention you'd need a dedicated system for a pure-EST product too.
Three of the most important beginner earphones that I started with are not on the list!! Soundmagic ES18, Vivo XE800, and the LEGENDARY KZ ATE (or ATR or HD9). Please add the ATE at least, it was the best earphone under $10 in it's era imo (better than KZ ED9). :DD
Nice work man, maybe you can add another features such as Tech/Tonal rank from S-F like before, i wanna know U4S Tech and tonal rank from your perspective
Still rocking my Truthear Hexas. To this day, the only IEM I've ever bought and used to any extent. I could buy more, but...why? Unless, Crinacle, I'm going to be "blown away" by something else. If I'm not blown away, I'm not paying a single cent more.
Forcing a normal distribution on the rankings feels a bit off. 1:26 Shouldn’t the rankings reflect actual performance rather than fitting a predetermined statistical pattern? It screws with the results and is misleading.
What do you guys think of the Edifier Stax Spirit S3 headphones? I got a pair recently at a deal and i am loving them. Just wondering what others think of this pair? i got mine at approximately 200$ - 225$ brand new from a local shop in my country.
Love you Crin. Question. If I favorite something is there a function to show me other IEMs close to the same target or similar sound profile to the one I favorite?
Hmmm I just tried to put in Symphonium Meteor, Titan, 64 audio U6t and Volure, Dunu Mirai exactly these few, it is not there and I could continue… maybe it’s a different list…
I feel sad, you have all the JAYS iem except the most notorious and well tuned one : The Q-JAYS. It was very popular in EU so much so they decided to re-edit it before the company died. They claimed it was the smallest dual BA iem in the world at the time (2007)
i recently got the project red's and for some reason the bass is abnormally high especially in games, and the bass+ dongle seems to not change it at all, could there be smth messed up in my windows settings? ive tried fixing it but nothing works
i dont get something, what is the thing between you and kz, you said that if its not on the list and tested, its not relevant, but kz is definitely on of the biggest chi-fi iem manufacturers on the market, and they even have an iem that says its made in colaboration with you
Seeing the Hype 4 in the background brings tears to my eyes. Mine are broken and i am not sure if it will be solved. :( The right ear behaves very strange and is significantly lower volume and strange tonality.
@@basti329 Not clogged or ear wax. The unit is defective and i noticed it right when i bought. But i thought it is because the ear tips behave different on such a big ear piece.
Hi im trying to find an iem in 200$ budget to play valorant and listen to type of music like yungkai, wave to earth, chase atlantic, beedabeedado,...i have some recommend like truthear nova, simgot ew300 are they good and in this budget if there are any better iem please tell me some thank you so much
@@crin this is a serious problem - the use of metal cases together with acoustic filters. Of the six metal IEMs I have - only one did not have problems due to condensation, this is Shuoer S12 (and only because there was nothing in the sound duct. But then it appeared in S12Pro😆). This always happens according to the same scenario, no matter whether you walk quickly along the street or sit at home at the computer, in winter or summer - after about 40-50 minutes the sound in some channel begins to go away. If I had such a connection with the manufacturers as you do, I would have conveyed this information to them long ago. This is not a joke ! This is why I love Panda P1Max - shell is made of plastic and there are no tampons, pads, Bad Guy panties inside the sound tube )) This is a deception of the buyer, selling a low-quality product - I spent a lot of money on these five IEMs, but there was no mention anywhere that these IEMs can be listened to without problems for only half an hour 🤬
as always, its an epic database and the work to make it happen must have been staggering. However without a letter it really does not hit as hard. Also the ''if everything is good, nothing is'' statement ofcourse rings true, so im not sure i understand the crinacle-approved denotation, isnt that you saying everything with the tick is good so none of them really are good? As it stands we do not really have a database that tells us why a $100 IEM might be just as good as a $1000 IEM if they are both approved, or am i missing something? Either way, not being critical at all, this is a staggering effort for the community. thanks.

Not at all, It just doesn't exist.
