@@profound369 CIEM is a Custom In-Ear Monitor, meaning you have to have an audiologist make impressions of your ear canals, then you send those impressions to the manufacturer and they make custom earpieces that fit your ear canals perfectly. The downsides to CIEMs are that they only fit one person (you) and that they usually cost more because they have to be made one at a time. The IEM (aka UIEM) is a universal IEM that will fit any ear because they come with differently-sized ear tips (usually made of silicone or foam.) That allows the user to choose the size that fits their ear canal the closest, and there are aftermarket ear tips that allow even more fit options.
@@profound369 CIEMs have shells that are custom molded to your individual ear canals. This means they go deeper, and are generally more comfortable with a very snug fit that increases isolation. But they are much more expensive, and are harder to buy with longer wait times and you need to have ear molds taken (sometimes multiple times). Modern universal shells have gotten much better with 3D printing, and the ear-analysis companies employ these days has closed the gap a lot, so CIEMs have become less popular since their heyday in the 2010s.

The timing of this video! I just sent my ear impressions to Hidition this week (they received it this Friday) to get myself some Viento-B CIEM. Went to order from them directly, as long as you keep a simple English and understand the process, so far so good.
I fully agree. I've tried it once at zeppelin and completely fell in love with it. It was pure perfection, even in its universal form. Maybe im just blessed that i could shove it all the way into my ears so that i it sounded more like the ciem version. Everyone has to try it at least once, it's peak. It does not have the most or even the best bass, i think the z1r is still better for bass. However, it was the most cohesive package I've ever heard. Great separation, decent soundstage, godly speed without sounding unnatural and all that with only 4 BAs. Its a lot of hyperbole, but if you get the chance, give it a try. Side note: It was great meeting you at the hangout the other day! Also got to meet precog there as well. Super lucky for me!
In-ear personal monitor systems were pioneered in the early 1980s by Marty Garcia of Future Sonics as a solution for vocal fatigue and stress on musicians' ears from excessively loud stage volumes.[1] His first custom-fit earphones were created for Todd Rundgren in 1982.[1][2
I just bought a pair of Stax SR-L 700 MK2's with an SRM-500T amp, and this "earspeaker" was originally designed in the 80's.... AND IT ROCKS!! Just the texture of instruments, solid detailed bass, HUGE dynamic range so you can really "feel" the music, pretty damn good spatial accuracy (I use them for playing games on my computer, not just music). Honestly, I have absolutely no complaints about them sounds wise. The only complaints I have is that the size of the device is too tall at the smallest adjustment for my head so I have to wear a hat to get the right sound out of them :P Also they're $1700 :' (
Great video, i've always been curious about the Viento after reading about it. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a Viento-R but found it to be a bit too bright for me as mentioned in the video so I ended up selling it off to someone else. I made the switch over to only buying customs to prevent myself from constantly buying and reselling flagship models. My sister is getting married in Korea soon so it'll be a great opportunity to stop by Hidition to pick up a custom Viento.
More drivers does mean less distortion, but it comes down to the individual drivers being stacked in the first place and there is definitely a point where it audibly doesn't make a difference to stack even more. It often doesn't make sense to go beyond double stacking, you shouldn't need to for decent drivers anyways. Even with a complex crossover about 4 per side is all you need and you can get away with only 3 or 2 and still get S-tier sound if your drivers are good. But then you get into things like BA "packages", which make it easier to stack because they only have to be wired as single drivers but come designed as dual or quad units. For example the Orchestra Lite has 8 drivers per side but in a 3-way crossover, because the BAs come in packages of 2 bass + 4 mid + 2 high. It works well, and you can even go further with a 4-way crossover like this but not only doubling but adding electrostats or a dynamic somewhere in the mix. That's how you get 10+ driver IEMs. Even those you could argue aren't "too far" (if you can handle the shell size). What is too far is IEMs with giant stacks of 16+ all BA per side, at that point you will never hear any distortion benefits. And at those prices it makes more sense to go the opposite way, to use less drivers and just pump lots of R&D into those specific drivers so you don't have to stack them in the first place. This is how Sony can make S-tier sound with just a 1+1.
They weren’t ahead of their time; they’re just one of, if not the, only ones who designed an IEM like a home system rather than a hearing aid. Which doesn’t take away from the apparent (as I’ll probably never hear it)greatness of this IEM. The apparently knew their stuff better than any other IEM designer to date even if only by not falling into the trap of thinking nothing from home audio speaker design applies to IEMs.
Cool to see you get excited Crin, outwardly excited and passionate. Gives me hope that maybe this little segment may inspire some good quality endeavors
This just confirms what dankpods said: *"Good headphones STAY GOOD"* This applies to all audio, it's not a graphics card that 9 years laters is _mostly_ destined for landfill.
Most thing dont. I can only think of a very select few iems and headphones were good back then, that are still competitive now. Dankpods has no credibility, he is a meme reviewer.
Nah, this is just a case of a company with better, more skilled R&D that made something ahead of its time. Most of the gear that was top tier 10 years ago is horribly outdated now. They were good then, doesn't mean they stay good.
@@paisleepunkfor $300. But the sundara is beating it in many areas, and the high end has completely obliterated the hd800, granted, at a higher price (though the ayra is arguably a better choice for less).
Depends, for IEMs most don't hold up that well past 5 years. And that's the good stuff that at the time was expensive as hell. Cheap or mid-tier IEMs from the early days? (2000s-2010s) are almost all crap by today's standards. Headphones have seen a lot less progression though outside of the very high end and those are relatively new. Sennheiser HD580 from 1991 holds up incredibly well to this day. So does the portapro from 1985 even if it needs some EQ. Same for some of the old AKG and Sony stuff as well. Lots of headphones and speakers from 30+ years ago are still amazing today but IEMs much less so. But then IEMs were a "for work" specialist device meant for monitoring or stage work or as hearing aids until relatively recently.
Man now I really want to see the graph of this iem on type5128. I want to try one but I'm not able to travel. Seeing a more detailed graph is all I can expect
it would be a Shure KSE1200, or a Audeze LCDi4 tuned to IEF neutral using EQ. Funny thing is, crin actually almost heard that because the MkI cipher cable of the i4 corrected it to something close. He gave it S/S+. The newer cipher cable messed it up, you can see him talk about it in his LCDi3 impressions on his website. So his current answer would be a i4 with its orginal cipher cable. The KSE and the i4 are the only iems that have the potential to be S+ in tuning and technicals.
Fatfreq Maestro SE custom is marginally better than the universal, as it's tuned for custom depth with stage performers in mind, like Viento. I know it's expensive but man the custom version is awesome, truly a concert like quality to the presentation. Great separation and air considering the immense bass boost. I can't imagine it's as good overall as the Viento, but man I love it.
I would like to know if there's a company that makes custom tuned iem's for charts with hearing loss. Or how to accurately look at my hearing loss chart and tune an EQ so I can hear like a normal person. This is widely overlooked and missed by the audio community, in my experience.
I just wanted to note something interesting I found. At least on the 711 graphs, the *Truthear Hexa* matches up well with the measurements of the Viento-B custom, the only difference being in the treble and air.
In the case of an armature driver - it is impossible to create good IEMs based on ONE emitter (you need at least two different ones). In the case of planar or dynamic drivers - one is even VERY good !
Not to nit pick, but a 2 way has one crossover, a 3 way, 2 crossovers and a 4 way 3 crossovers. Assuming the there's not a high or low pass filter filtering out all the top or jottom

I see a Monarch Mk III on your counter there Crin. Can we please get your thoughts in a video? Would love to hear what you think of it. Looking at going way above and beyond budget to purchase a pair (in the Urchin shell of course!) as my end game =)
Currently using a viento B but to be honest I'm not very impressed. Mid is nice and slightly forward, treble can be too much giving some sibilance at times, bass is decent which is sufficient for me. Overall it also feels abit "dry" for me. Currently I also own UM Mest MK2 and Monarch Mk2.
I've demoed the 64 audio U12t twice, everytime I hear it I want to pull the trigger but haven't. Jump to last year I ordered a custom MEST MKII and vowed that when I finally get around to ordering the 64 U12, I'd get the custom fit A12 from 64. This video is giving me second thoughts. Will I sacrifice? From what a 64 audio sales rep told me, sound signature should stay relatively the same between universal vs custom.Can anyone else confirm this?
The car salesman told me the beat up Ford they're trying to sell is a dream car and the best. Because he said so, it must be true and I doubt it's because his literal job is to sell the car. Bro, come on, use common sense.
yo, could you maybe make a new iem wiyh your partners with 3 or 4 drivers and like TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO drivers but last one handle the bass while the woofer handles 5khz to 21khz? maybe less than 80+-usd? cause why not? TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO is great and like my ears like them but the woofer drivers making cracking noise when i use full volume on my mini amplifier, didnt expect it to happen but it still works cause i turn volume down one click right when it happened, sounds amazing wth 5.1 or 4.1 music files but i need a bit stronger drivers on that woofer,,
@@darukaru Comparing speakers with iems is only something someone who has no idea what they're talking about would say. Theyre' not the same thing, the same way headphones are not the same thing. Compare iems with iems only.
Custom made in Korea and sold exclusively by 1 seller in Singapore means high margins to not be sold at a massive lost. That's just my theory of what's happening though.

Has anyone been able to compare Viento to its competitors like supernova?
Antdroid has in his blog. They're very similar.
So which are the other sub-bass darlings, would you say?
but but but can it beat the legendary jh13?
Odd request but can you review the valve index earphones? I personally love them
when is the b3 collab......
SOFTEARS STUDIO4 REVIEW WHEN
Hidition is… an ancient company? 2003? It’s ancient? I was born in 2003. Damn that hurts.
For iems, yes.
I feel like before the century (>2000) is considered ancient. In Crinacle terms, its just that they're an OG.
Says 7, annotates 9, puts 10 in title, which one is it?
Yes
NIIIIIINNEE!!!!
shit, 1500 bucks tho not including artwork. with artwork and tax maybe $2k? gonna have to start saving up
Thanks for the video. Just one question what is best budget IEMs for gaming ? I have VK4 og should i change it .
Put that VK4 in a glass case because they're impossible to get now.
Nobody told me that airtel made iems.
Nice
Thanks for this, good to know.

why dont you create a iem with a usb -c port
the salnotes zero have a cable with usb c
Lmao, $1k being considered "cheap" by Crin is funny
Because it is. Look at the price of the other iems on A and S tier ranking
Moondrop Variations ($500) might be my upper limit lol
Just look at the price of a set of high end speakers.
It is for an S-tier CIEM, look at the competition
@@darukaru Comparing speakers with iems is only something someone who has no idea what they're talking about would say. Theyre' not the same thing, the same way headphones are not the same thing. Compare iems with iems only.
This IEM is as old as Five Nights at Freddy’s
U12t went to where it belongs.
$1499 now to get one without the switch... what.
Custom made in Korea and sold exclusively by 1 seller in Singapore means high margins to not be sold at a massive lost. That's just my theory of what's happening though.
