Thank you so much for watching! Under $300 list might be coming next week so please subscribe to not miss that :)
Tremendous comparison. I would appreciate if you could talk also about IEMs for those, like me, that are in love with instrumental classical music and jazz, and not very much interested I vocals. You're channel is superb, thanks so much.
I'll make a list just for instrumentals in the future. I also love orchestras, movie soundtracks, etc as well :)
Hey man, I heard the seeaudio miu (upcoming) is tuned for thoseee
@@gavingranado2146 great!! I'll check them. Thanks :-)
@@luisrivas6716 final a4000 tuned for orchestra, may you check that iem.
@@krisnadarma8284 I will do it, thank you for your recommendation.
The Adonis was an interesting pick, you rarely see this IEM be mentioned in audiophile circles.
Hana 2021 kind of kills everything in the $200 price bracket, a pick Tim missed out on was the JVC HA-FDX1 which is is strong on technicalities and can commonly be found for around $175-200, kind of like a slightly worse B2 for less.
QoA as a brand which include Adonis, Vesper, and Pink Lady is generally more popular and talked about in the Japanese IEM circle. Also, I do own JVC HA-FDX1! :D But since MSRP is $270 it was too expensive for this list.
What about Moondrop Kato?
Another great review, thanks for posting often and covering topics that's relatable for a lot of people, you deserve a lot more recognition. I think a lot of people would be curious how the Fiio FH3 compares to these if you heard them before, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'll try to keep the uploads very consistent :)
In regards to the FH3, I've heard it before and a review of it is coming up in the near future. The quick summary is I think it's a very good set, but it doesn't push above what the price is.
For Under $150, it's competitive, above that it's a bit tougher.
@@Gizaudio Ah gotcha. In any case looking very much forward to the full review!
@@Gizaudio I guess we replace the ksxx with the kato?
Dude, you’re getting better in your reviews. Good passionate review for music gear ⚙️. Thank you.
Thank you so much! :D
Regardless of the price difference, is the Mangird Tea better than any of this inear's list? Either there is one that can compete or even be better, I am thinking of acquiring the Ikko Oh 10, but I don't know if it would be a better option to go straight to the Mangird Tea, I listen to all kinds of music but especially progressive metal. Thanks bro
Mangird Tea is very good and one of the best for the price it's at, If you want to jump straight to Mangird Tea I think you'd be happy. I know a few friends who listen to metal and rock mainly and love the Mangird Tea.
for gaming and many male vocal songs which is better? the starfields, yume or hana?
the video quality is brilliant dude, you deserve more subs definitely! But yeah I already got my NM2+ for $100 and it rocks!
Thank you so much man! :)
This is a topic that I've been looking for. Looking forward for the next top 5s
Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed it :)
Wallets look away! I agree with your selections here. Queen of audio looks great! Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks for watching man!
Hi mate,
Don't want to tread on any toes, and this is a first video of yours I've seen, but have you considered short hair? Not a buzz cut of course. I think I'd fit you face better.
Nice to see some of my wishlists in the top 5 :D
It proves you have amazing taste bro!
@@Gizaudio nah nah you the one that has great taste dude xD
you're the first that told the true about ikko oh10! i had it for a week and ...yes in someway they are fenomenal....most of all for the buttery informative highs, but the dawnfall for me was the muddy bass and the recessed \ hide mids, you cannot listen to any singer with them. Another downfall is the weight!!! so i sold them, after only a week, and now i'm playing with the moondrop chu , best tuned and great organicity for me also good basses. and i'm waiting for the hzsound heart mirror, but i guess that i won't have back the ikko highs! i miss them, and i imagine that i have to spend a lot more to have that special highs (or better cause for me the ba tymbre it seems synthetic) with a die for voice experience am i right? following your reviews you think the blessing 2 could give me that special highs or i have to go to the oracle.... or clearvoyance ?thanks
Can wait for under $300! Frontrunner in ur opinion $100-300 classic rock/evanescence?
Mangird Tea
Thank you so much for the comment. Under $300 might be coming next week :)
Classic rock/ evanescence I recommend these
Mangird Tea
FiiO FH5
This is the first video I watched. A lot of info for someone that’s just getting into IEMs. I’m trying to upgrade from my pair of Astro’s A50s. I need something that hones in on footsteps and faint sounds. I play Escape From Tarkov and some sounds are low to where I’m not sure what direction it’s in.
I probably Adonis or YUME. They seem like they are the most versatile. 😅
Great review!!! and may I ask, between adonis and kxxs, which one has more bass for you? ...sry for my bad english
KXXS has better bass in my opinion, but Adonis will have more
@@Gizaudio and another question. How about between qoa adonis and moondrop aria ,which on has more bass? Thanks for your help.love this chanel!!!
HI!
Thank you SO much for your reviews I like how you present them keep them coming :).
Which will be nice maybe some kind of score system, like Soundstage 6 points, Imaging 8, details.. bass, mid.. well you got the idea.
Speaking of that.
Which is the best for Imaging, soundstage and detail?
I heard that the Ikko is really good on those aspects would you agree? Hana 2021 also read that is good.
What about the " CCZ Plume 10" have you hear those?
Please let me know :)
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm actually working on a score system but I haven't found one I'm happy with yet so might take a bit longer on that.
I terms of which is best....
Imaging: KXXS
Soundstage: IKKO OH10
Detail: Legacy KXXS & OH10 are tied
Have not tried the CCZ Plume 10 but might be able to soon!
If you had done this video and the Kato had been out, would it have been first? How would this list look today?
OH10, Yume or FH5 best all rounder? Can get all three for a very similar price.
Someone please help me! Every time I buy something someone says "This is the best" I end up sending them back. I don`t know if people have lowered their standards or if people just don`t know quality sound and volume. I own KZ ZAX and I love the volume but would like better sound quality. WTF do I buy?
For female vocal, yume and hana, Which one should I pick
Yume
What is your opinion about earfun free pro 2
Between what you recommend?
Hi buddy.. love ur content.. my budget is 150$ … i own an iPoD… cd you PLS suggest me an IEM that plays all genres (EDMs, Rock, bollywood song, R&B) well… thanks in advance…
😲 I am waiting for best under $300. Great Comparison. Thank you!
Hopefully soon! :)
OH10 is Shadowed by FH3 right ? Only the soundstage is slightly low in the FH3 but imaging to midrange everything is better in FH3 , Can you tell me why you choose OH10 over FH3 ?
FH3 is better overall if we're talking versatility. But OH10 is better in details. If you're a bass head OH10 is more bass heavy.
Me getting the IKKO Obisidian after listening to them all, midrange is well managed as per me; as an upgrade for recently acquired Moondrop Aria which I liked a lot.
how is it compared to aria
@@iantune Much better for me if you want to enjoy music for hours. Arias are good but OH10 has little more base and kind of V-curved, though well balanced and clean even in sub-bass.
@@VicharB how bout the soundstage amd imaging, is there a huge difference
@@iantune Soundstage is wider definitely. The difference is there very much between the 2. OH10 is pleasant overall and has much better balance across. After them I didn't go back to Aria. There a lot of reviews here on UA-cam, check them out.
@@VicharB damm obsidian it is then. its 140usd in my country
So I got the arias, but i find them lacking energy and having a bit recessed mids for my liking. I would like something as natural sounding as the arias but with more engaging sound and more forward vocals. I have narrowed down my options to hana(afraid of uneven mids and too much treble maybe?) , hana 2021(afraid of having recessed mids like arias because of v) , kato(afraid of recessed mids because of v) and fh3(afraid of unnatural timbre due to BA). Any help with that please, new recommendations under 200 will be appreciated as well?
Well I can say for sure the Kato slap but the fit is odd for my big ears. The ear hooks are also stiff in how they wrap around and I'd imagine it's that way because they're meant for smaller ears or something. The tone/timbre is very natural/realistic especially in regards to any lead instruments, though a very slight hint of smoothness can be heard around 5k-6khz and that at least keeps Thrash metal cymbals from coming through too clashy for the guitars to sing properly. I found vocals to be very gorgeous, and I mostly just pay attention to the instruments but damn do 80s female singers sound good. Drum section feels actively portrayed with a slightly warm attack to the snare drum hits. Bass guitar is especially nice sounding but these aren't basshead iems- just strong and authoritative enough across the low-end to stand out but not screw with the midrange much at all. Cymbals and high-hats are pleasantly delivered though these have a fairly safe amount of air that I wish there was more of. Wish they offered bigger eartips as the spring tips aren't necessarily bad, they just can't keep the buds in my ear when the ear hooks are pulling the buds out. I've tried spinfits cp145 in a large size but my ear canals kept rejecting it, especially my right ear. I did order an extra large version of the spring tips...we'll see- and I got some random DUNU eartips from Amazon coming in tomorrow. For now I can enjoy the Kato as long as I don't use the ear hooks, but of course that's kinda impractical. I'd say there isn't a genre of music they can't handle- just don't expect one little dynamic driver to perfectly pick apart super busy portions in music, but I'd say it still performs notably well in that sense with busy metal or rock tracks. The atmosphere these create is gorgeous, very nice soundstage all things considered. But yeah that's all I can say about them for now.
Could you do a top 5 iem for excellent sound staging
Which would you say is the smallest iem? I’m considering one of these: ikko oh10, Hana and the kxxs. I currently have the tin P1 and I love the size but I could use some more bass and I’m looking for something similar in size.
They are all about the same size with OH10, KXXS being just slightly bigger than the rest. If we're talking comfort wise, they are all very comfortable to wear. The smallest of the 5 would be the Hana.
If you want bass OH10 is the best choice. But size wise compare to Tin P1, OH10 is noticeably bigger. Your next best option would be KXXS, but still size is bigger than P1.
Honestly....I didn't realize how small P1 was until now haha.
For metal,Classic and rock. Hana or fh3?
Nicely Done.
How would you describe the differences between the FH3 to the 2021 Hana's ?
Thanks
Fh3 is more of v-shape with focus on subbass and good treble extension and air, while Hana is more midbass and vocal focus :)
@@Gizaudio hi brother which one is your first choice dk2001 or fh3?
thanks for the review. looking forward to the best of the best deathmatch
Thank you so much!!
Which one is the king of 300 price range ? Ibasso am05 vs fiio fh5 vs mangird tea vs blessing 2 which one is better ?
This video is coming very soon
@@Gizaudio i’ll looking forward for your vid br ? Hope that will make me decision
I'm a little surprised you emphasized thieaudio L4 for jpop and anisong songs,I think see audio yume you will emphasize
Out of all the lists which one is more suitable for anisong and jpop songs?
Yume and L4 are both amazing for that genre. For me, Yume is much better in vocals in general. So for anisong and jpop I recommend Yume.
@@Gizaudio Thanks for the advice, good video success always
thoughts on the moondrop starfield when compared to all these $200 iems? Which of these iems would be best for someone who plays competitive shooters like csgo and valorant?
Starfield would sit easily with KXXS, both are 90% similar to each other with KXXS coming out on top in extra details. As for gaming I would go for something with great level of detail and fun bass for the explosions. Out of the list I recommend IKKO OH10.
@@Gizaudio im currently using the starfield, got a few weeks, don't see my self upgrading for a while, is there much of a difference between starfield and 0H10 for gaming?
They are completely different sound signature. OH10 is much more of a v-shape with focus on the low and high end while Starfield is more neutral across the board. I don't think any of the two is strictly better than each other, just different. For Gaming I do prefer the OH10. But in terms of being an upgrade quality wise, OH10 not a an upgrade, again, just different sound signature.
@@Gizaudio really appreciate your reply, keep up to good work, love the content.
I saw earbuds at the title and thought you would look at some of the open style on ears, not just all in-ears
I'll make an earbud exclusive list in the future once I get to try enough of them. Thank you for the comment and apologies for the misunderstanding.
I'm going to be buying the Moondrop Starfields soon. Heard they are as close as they can be to the KXXS for less money. Considering I'm coming from the world of KZ IEM's I think Moondrop is the next step for me. I honestly don't need to spend $500-1000, I have Headphones for that level of audio detail. My Sennheisers have me covered, I just want some IEM's for portable use or use in bed. Which is why KZ took my fancy, cheap and good reviews. But now I want something that can unlock the quality of my lossless music. From the reviews I think Starfield or KXXS are the way to go.
starfields is a cheaper KXXS while aria is a cheaper starfields
For mobile activities i choose TWS. It's more comfortable
OH10 vs ISN H40? I've heard the H40 is basshead too, but less treble than OH10. My ears don't like harsh treble.
have no tried the ISN H40, maybe I'll try to see if there's one for borrow from a friend.
I know harman tune dont have much energy, but if i want to choose KXXS / Hana 2021 who have more energy?
Hana 2021 has more energy :)
@@Gizaudio thanks for your answer
You're very welcome!
Keep it up. Nice review. You keep my eye on seeAudio Yume or Tanchjim Hana. Need to pick one that sound better on unequilize audio.
Thanks man! Both are great choices :)
Came across this and realized how quickly te iem market is moving.
in just 3 months 7hz timeless and kato would be on list, displacing the list here.
Makes the iem category the most exciting out there.
Listen with IKKO OH10.
Best Basshead IEM in my collection under $300 😎
I agree with this!
@@Gizaudio
I've tried several types of IEM under 300 dollars, and the OH10 has a large quantity bass that has a Beautiful Rumble 😍.
With this rumble, the OH10 Bass sounds more impressive and dramatic 🤟
I agree! :D
@@Gizaudio
I think it's a good idea if you review the 5 best basshead IEMs under 200 or 300 USD.
Because there are not a few Basshead fans
Decisions decisions 🤔
Great line up bro!
Thanks g!
do you do all the editing?
Yes I do :)
I guess I'm lucky Etymotic ER2XR fit me quite well the first time itself.
Do you thin Hana is good all rounder?
Absolutely! :D
As for myself, I am very disapointed by the Okho OH10; The sound is really awfull. I tried different kind of cables but the result is still the same, an awfull sound.
tanchjim hana 2021 or seeaudio yume?
For my personal used, Yume :)
What about UM Mest Indigo
I've got ikko oh10 for like 100$ what a steal
wonder what happened to the Starseas
Starsea is great! But if you're talkiing Under $200, many more options becomes available. Starsea would make the Under $150 list definitely.
Kato or Hana?
I got my er2se set for like 50 bucks on a good sale. They sound great but I can't deal with the fit.
Yeah, the fit is really the only downside to it.
Get some spinfit cp800
Are the FiiO FH3 over hana 2021??
I prefer Hana 2021 :)
Def gonna check out hana
It's really good! :D
nice early thumbnail bro 😂
Changed lol.
what was it
Nice pfp
Got to try the CCZ Plume
It looks stunning in pictures, hopefully I can get my hands on it.
@@Gizaudio if you want to try them let me know I can send them to you
@@rdtstudios Wow, thank you so much! Are you in the USA as well? Please add me on facebook, my name is "Timmy Vangtan" we can talk there.
@@Gizaudio do you got Twitter?
@@rdtstudios Yes, same name.
Where would the FH3s slot in here?
I think if I expanded the list to make a Top 10, FH3 would sit around number 7 on the list.
What about ikko oh10?
It's in the video lol
funny thing, adonis ( Αντώνης ) is a male Greek name so "queen of audio" and "adonis" makes me giggle a bit
samurai?
Audio Samurai
Noooo. Not the etymotic xr2. Great mid. Terrible low bass. And struggled with high volumes
Personally I had no problem with it at high volumes and I think I listen pretty loud (probably should tone it down lol)
@@Gizaudio sony nw a45. Max is not enough. Phone, max is not enough. Hiby r3. Is enough until you touch that crap eq and volume goes down by 6 db. I like loud like live concert. Low volume is wife's. Rock and metal. Always loud.lol
Howbout KXXX? or PMV PP?
I've not heard either of those but I think KXXX is supposed to be the same as KXXS just a different color.
Tanchjim Hana 2021, I will Coming for you.. 😘
Lol, it is very good
KXXS! ❤️
It's a beauty!
@@Gizaudio very underrated IMO
@@jjcornelio7741 Agree 100% Excited for new Kato....
No FH3. Oh well, nice list
I enjoy my FH3, and it definitely lives in the under $150 list in my opinion. Once the list opens up to $200, many more options become available that beats the FH3 unfortunately.
Jizz audio ?
Yume!
YES!
Olina
I try not to be prejudiced, but why are all the boxes covered in weeb shit?
KXXS 👻
YES!!!
Omg... lol
lol
God you are beautiful
lol....
Ety er2xr has great tonality...but great resolution? I don't hear that personally.
Thanks for your input man! For me it's resolution for the price, I think it's very good considering $129. I should have been more clear :)
