5 minutes, covering every question, no bullshitting. Best video on this topic that I have seen. Big audiophile YT channels will rant about unimportant things for 20 minutes or more. You are on point and made everything clear.
Glad to hear that!

Your videos are what people need to watch to understand the world of audiophiles. Thank you so much!
Hey there, we are glad you like the videos. We have a lot more interesting videos planned. Do keep an eye out on the channel.
Order tangzu wan'er 3 days ago ... Got it today... I am impressed...thank you headphone zone...
Hey there, we are very happy to hear that. Keep the music playing.
Thank you. Your videos are in a league of it own!! :)
Hey there, we are glad you like the content.
I like to know your opinion on the below point.
Sony XM5 vs cheaper IEMs. Which one has better sound quality? I am going to connect my XM5 wired using Apple 3.5mm DAC.
Hey there, When comparing the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones to cheaper IEMs, we'd lean towards IEMs due to their superior sound quality. IEMs offer precision and detail, excellent noise isolation, and impressive clarity due to their close fit and direct delivery to the ear canal. Their portability and compatibility with DACs further enhance the listening experience. While the Sony XM5 headphones are excellent, IEMs provide an intimate and immersive sound profile that's hard to beat, particularly for those who prioritise clear, detailed audio in various environments. Keep the music playing!
Very interesting video, I absolutely agree. Open backs will always win with staging. Being able to spread out instruments. But iems I find to have one massive advantage. And since tech with iems are advancing. They can stage impressively. Example. Hifiman Arya Organic vs Thieaudio Prestige LTD. This is tricky as they both are high up there in the audio world of headphones and iems and also priced similar. The Arya Organic will have the more open, grand, larger staging. But the Prestige LTD for an iem stages large also. While it doesn't reach that sense of staging like the Arya Organic. Due to the tech. 1DD, 4BA, 4EST. I find tuning to be more pleasing and musical while also being more engaging. It has more low end that extends lower, smoother and less fatiguing mids that bring out more detail, and treble the extends amazingly while again, being smoother compared to the Arya Organic. When it comes to detail, iems are a different level. I find myself being able to hear more layering and micro nuances with the Prestige LTD over the Arya Organic. But again, the Arya Organic gives that sense of space and larger staging. Overall. It's tricky, but yes, open backs for home use and iems for more portable use. But iems have become that good, you can use them anywhere
Thank you so much for your input!
Hi
How would you describe the experience of a top of the line custom IEM (like 2000 USD+) vs an equally premium headphone?
I purchased KZ- ZNS pro
Man I never experienced music like this way now I’m listening like addiction @headphoneszone thanks buddy 😍😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sir, should i go for Sony wh ch520 BT headphones under 5k for crisp and overall balanced audio or is there any type-c iem under 5k that should better in crystal clear audio?
Great series of videos Raghav. Kindly make a video of best sounding iems at each price point. Thanks.
The probem with that is that we'd have to update the video virtually every few weeks. But we'll try.
@RaghavSomani-HeadphoneZone yeah. Thats good for us. We will then get to hear regularly from you. We could make such list once a month may be.
What should i buy fir under 2000₹, IEM or an over the ear headohones? Specifically the jbl quantum 100 or kz zsn pro? Or should i lean for tws like the the enco 2?
Could you please share your music preferences with us?
Can you make a video that recommend budget headphone for basshead
what did you purchase ??
Don't tell me some boAt product

Stay tuned for more information and updates. Keep the music playing!
which is better for traveling on an airplane: IEM or headphone with ANC?
Great question. I prefer a well fitted IEM. The noise is kept out, and it sounds brilliant when im listening to music. But if your somoene who likes to just sleep with the silence on the flight, a headphone with ANC would probably be a better bet.
In the video you mentioned powerful DAC for open back headphones, what is powerful, on which terms you say the DAC is powerful
Olina se through a flagship dap gives as much details as something like an hd 800s/800 out of the same flagship dap. However with more sophisticated sources like a dedicated dac amp (flagship), the Hd800 will outperform the olinas without a doubt. I have used them as such and can confirm.
Hey can I run a iem on my phone jack 3.5mm and how's the sound quality then, if good enough recommend me under 2000 good iems please...
Dear Raghav, currently using Bang and Olufsen Form 2 headphone.
Can it go well with IFI Go Link (enhancing overall sound quality)?
The IFI GO Link works well with virtually all headphones and IEMs out there. We haven't heard the Form 2 specifically, but its a safe bet to say itll make it sound nicer.
Please if you can suggest a good speaker under 25k.
Sir request hai ek hindi channel bhi banno hindi mai bhi samjao is se music lover ,listener aur jyaada aap ke sath judenge 🙏
Hey there, we will surely consider your suggestion.
@@headphone_zonesir thank you
Damn i only looking for what is IEM but i got full explation instead, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
For watching movies, headphones or iems, which are better?
It is something completely based on your personal preferences.
What about planar IEM's which are relatively new? I bought the KZ PR1 on recommendation, because apparently it sounds top tier. I haven't tried yet since its still shipping.
Hey there, Planar IEMs are a relatively new and exciting addition to the audio scene and they offer unique advantages like excellent clarity, precise soundstage, and impressive detail. The KZ PR1 is a great choice with its top-tier performance hope you enjoy the rich audio experience they provide. Happy listening!
Are iems good for watching movies on smartphone?
Yes they are!
@@headphone_zone thank you
Nice video can you recommend me a good wireless headphone under 40$? Something comfortable with good base . I am currently using the blon 03 and i don't like it one bit. Thanks
Hey there, you can check out the BLON X HBB - Z300!
Pls suggest small size iem under 2000 rs.
Go for the 7hz Salnotes zero
Actually my preference I think is I want bass along with clarity in music in all other parts of the music 😅 if that makes any sense for that I have observed is that headphones can give more bass. I have tried several IEMS and closed back headphones (not tried open back headphones )like in IEMS JBL, Boat, RHA MA 390 and in heaphones the obvious Boad Rockers and One Audio Pro 10(Look I am just starting to explore audiophile world and I know most audio products that I am telling are generic).
From all these I felt more bass and detail in full sized headphones. Though IEM like the RHA had more detail but less bass. The OneAudio I felt has really good amount of balanced bass along with detail to give that umphhh.
Now why am I looking for an audio product?
I have just purchased a new phone and it does not have a headphone jack, that's why. So should I continue with my OneAudio and buy an adaptor or should I go for an IEM because the headphone has started to show its age, it's earcup material have started tearing up and it's a mess to use it now while the IEMS does not have such problem and from what I have also observed IEMS are more value for money.
So can HEADPHONE ZONE please suggest me what to do?
IEMs are more of a value, at least in the budget group. Things like the Truthear Hexa and Moondrop Aria are fantastic for very little money. However, it’s worth noting that IEMs can have substantial bass. For you, you haven’t tried open back headphones. Closed back headphones, like you have tried, are known for having more bass than open back headphones. But in my opinion, a decent open back headphone can’t be beat. I enjoy them more than IEMs.
@@napalm8030 Yes my fears have come true cause headphones tend to wear our quickly. And the open back headphones you mentioned are costly right.
Substantial bass you meant low bass right?
Well. I didn't have much experiences with iems or headphones.
I love the sound, I decided to start the hobby with Truthear Zero Red, I didn't like it.The sound is normal and narrow, and the bass is not deep and wide.
I think maybe full size headphones the way to go
I will try sooner hifiman Edition xs . I hope it would be great
@@mohammedbazhair2000 Thanks, the only thing is that full size headphones with bluetooth connectivity that are good are expensive.
Audeze lcd x vs focal clear og in sound?
What will be your choice?
Focal Clear OG is better suited for a relaxed listening experience however if you are looking for better imaging and separation the LCD X would be the winner.

@@headphone_zone Yea, I believe headphone zone guidance is just ok fpr audio world for beginners.You guys never tell how bright are iems compared to good headphones.So many people damage their already damaged hairs by water,by cheap earphones.You guys always make incomplete videos in my opinion.I am not saying information is wrong but always incomplete guidance.I see videos of audiophiles from all around the world a d loved their complete guidance.But you guys always dissapointed, and you are foolishing so many absolute beginners in indirect way.Whether you know it or not but it's true.But I have talked to so many of your employees some are really helpful like old school humans and some are decent.But the problem is some are not good enough in terms of knowledge for everyone's ears.Some are really good.Overall your employees are decent.But main problem is Raghav's videos, I don't like his guidance.He always put incomplete information and as it's hobby of ears so he don't focus much on ears sagety while guiding in videos.

can you suggest an IEM (bullet design would be better) and I really enjoy the sound clarity of SONY ex255ap, JBL c200si, OPPO enco air2 pro
Hey there, you can go for the Final - E3000.
@@headphone_zone thank you for the response
I'm confused between Akg K52 headphones and Kz zsn pro iem. Both comes under 2k which should i buy. Can you compare between them.
Hey there, KZ ZSN Pro IEM offers portability, personalised fit, clear highs, and punchy bass. If you're on the go and prioritise a more pronounced sound experience, the KZ ZSN Pro IEM would be the way to go. Happy listening!
7hz Salnotes zero, hola, waner, Chu. Run circles around any headphone under 5k in detail and tone.
Can you guys also help in selecting an IEM? I am hardcore EDM fan and almost never listen to music with vocals. Any recommendations from Headphoneszone upto 4000 INR. FYI this would be my first IEM
Hey there, you can go for the FiiO - FD11.
Raghav sir pls suggest me an iem and headphone setup with dac each costing 20k (20k iem+20k headphone)which can be used with my mobile pls I need it for only music
Hey there, for an IEM we would recommend going for the 1Custom Junior or 7Hz - Timeless and for a DAC you can go for the FiiO BTR7 or Cayin RU6.
Can you suggest under 6k premium category IEM sir...
You might want to consider the Truthear - Hexa. It's slightly above your budget, but it's worth the buy.
You make video on IEM but name of your website is headphone zone even i can only see headphones in your background. So, i wanna ask if you sell headphones also or just iems?
Hey there, we sell a variety of audio gears, you can explore our website - www.headphonezone.in
Kindly suggest me a best iem under 5k at present using kz zxn pro. I'm a bass lover.
Hey there, you can go for the Truthear - Zero.
Can you suggest iem which might be similar sounding to audio technica ath-m40x since raghav said under 10k iem perform better value for money
Hey there, You can go for the Truthear - Hexa.
@@headphone_zone It has deep nozal which insert deep in the ear cannel...is there any more safe option in terms of comfort?
Sony WH-1000XM5 vs tangzu waner ... which is better ?
Idk if it's fair comparison ... But please answer
To be quite honest a wired setup will always sound better than a wireless setup. Having said that, if you prefer a natural sounding, warm and smooth sound signature you should check out the Tangzu Wan'er S.G. and in case you prefer a balanced sound signature with ANC, then you should go for the Sony - WH-1000XM5.
Do you have physical store in Mumbai?
Hey there, since we are an E- commerce website, we don't have any physical store currently but we do have our experience studio in Mumbai where you can try out our variety of audio gears!
How much does a entry dac cost me ?
Any IEM/Closed back headphones with Dolby Atoms or Spatial audio support, must have V shaped signature. Under 10K ?
Hey there, getting a headphone/IEM with your specific requirements under 10,000 is going to very difficult.
Sony ch720n has sparial audio support
Can you please recommend a good IEM (for listening to music) around 2000?
Hey there, we recommend going for the SIMGOT - EW100P.
@@headphone_zone under 3000? Any recommendations?
I wanna start my audiophile journey with a budget iem under 1500 ... So any suggestion ?
Hey there, you can go for the CCA - Lyra.
1custom pm 1 vs junior ,pm1 are way cheaper on headphone zone
Which one to buy for the price/value offered
Both are great value for money at their individual price point.
Can you recommend a IEM under good budget for gaming and music
TANGZU - Wan'er S.G, best iem under 2000 or mabe 3000
Hey there, for gaming we would suggest going for the Final - VR3000.
Truthear zero blue or red with bass adapter
wish i had seen this atleast a 4 days earlier.
because, i just got the new NOISE FOUR headphones and for that price (2.5k) is pretty dogsh*t like literal dogsh*t... and there's no refund option as well :(
anyways i'm gettin' an iem soon thanks to you guys for the guides

Headphones hurt my ears after a few songs. The pressure of the sponge against my ears hurts. 🤕
Hey there, could you try using different-sized ear tips? if that doesn't work you can give foam tips a shot.
@@headphone_zonehe said headphones
Buy over ear headphones.
Buy over ear headphones.
I feel like you’re smashing all those ear cups bro
We're trying to be careful, we promise.
Iem under 2000?
As sound is very subjective, it's not necessary what we like is something you will also prefer. Having said that, you should check out the TANGZU - Wan'er S.G as these are natural sounding IEMs with a warm and smooth sound signature. Here's the link: www.headphonezone.in/products/tangzu-waner-s-g .
Kyaa matlab hua ki dono rakho
😂😂😂😂
Haha, we get what you're saying! Why choose when you can have both, right? 😉 It's always better to add to your collection of IEMs and headphones. You never know which one you might want to use for a particular song or mood!
@@headphone_zone from past 3 years I'm using headphones wireless one with wire compatibility.
I never knew about IEMs only from past few days i get to know about them. My usage pattern is like this when I'm at my shop i use to watch youtube videos and very little amount of music but when I'm home i never listen music just watch anime nd web series in my TV and connect my headphones by wire and at shop i use to take long calls in that case my headphone is useless.
I want something potable and wireless for my shop use and wired at my house bcoz my TV doesn't have bluetooth
The reason why I like your videos is because, its always to the point. 😘🤏
Glad you appreciate the direct approach. Thanks for watching!
