In my opinion, around the 2k mark, the only good IEMs are moondrop chu 2, Truthear Hola and tangzu wan'er. In terms of sound quality, all have their own unique signature. Tangzu is dark neutral (neutral sound with slight base bump), good for any genre, whether music or podcasts. Hola is dark balanced (soft but muddy, good bass, decent vocal, very recessed mids), good in every music but very bad in podcasts. Chu 2 is proper V shape (basshead but not too much like Fiio) I although prefer Tangzu because of its better mic quality and my preferred sound signature. (PS: Try listening to "Strive" and "Tundra" by Amber Rubarth in any IEM. You'll know why we audiophiles crave them)
14:14 Exactly! 💯 Was waiting for someone to say it, people are buying audio products looking at just the spec sheet without even realising that sound quality is subjective and can't be quantified! Plus, Audio Brands In India emphasize only on the g̶i̶m̶m̶i̶k̶s̶ features and never utter a word about how the product actually sounds like!
@@likhithdotexe1377 I had the Moondrop CHU II iems and the sound stage is absolutely wider than normal TWS and neckbands. They don't even fall close to these iems. For my opinion, let me explain it by giving an example - There is a song named WHO?WHAT! by Travis Scott. So, there are times on this song where the artist sounds only on the right side, and only on the left side. Plus there are some plates and instruments that are playing continuously on the left side. Moondrop CHU II had these instruments playing properly and clearly on the sides that I mentioned. They sound separated from the vocals and you don't have to try to hear the difference, it is given to you. Hope it helps!
Explained it well. As an audiophile,I am waiting for it. Please make sure that the ranking points are in all aspects of your upcoming videos. I am waiting for it.
Is the sound staging as good as he mentions or he's just promoting stuff Like to hear your honest opinion Cause I already bought an iem after seeing beebom and now want to invest in that dac type c to type 3.5mm so need honest reviews
Hey Ershad, Thanks for the recommendations! As a fellow audiophile, always love your reviews. Is it possible to get your spotify playlist? In every review of yours, I'm constantly looking for and saving tracks, and I'm loving them.
Hello Ershad. I've been watching your videos for quite some time and I love the way you portray the details. For this video, I have question. I prefer a more bass punch than a treble one, and I also play games that require more sound details like footsteps. So in this list what would be your best suggestion?
Maybe make a few shorts, talking about the improvement in sound quality with a balanced cable + dac combination. Do balanced cables really make a big difference in budget IEMs under 5K?
Hey man, just a recommendation for a video but could you do like a comparison for usb dacs, be it type a, type c or even lightning at different budget segments, like around 1k, 2k, 5k, etc., and compare some dacs like the apple dongle, kz am01, with higher priced ones like ifi audio, ddhifi, etc.?
My personal experience with 7Hz Salnotes is not great, left piece stopped working after 6 months but crazy thing is if you buy salnotes from Amazon they don't claim it for warranty and even if you buy from their websites, you have to send the item to their address on ur own cost + it's not that comfortable on ear.
Although the Tanchjim One is a bullet-style IEM to be worn down, you can still loop the IEM over your ears. There's instructions in the manual book, and just need to make sure the polarity match. That's how I've been wearing my Tanchjim One DSP, and even worn down is also quite secure. That's the beauty of the cables being detachable.
7hz salnotes zero was never fatiguing at all , i am treble sensitive , and i have been using it for a year. I just bought the simgot ew200 , that is what you call fatiguing at high volume.
Hi Ershad! I bought the Moondrop Chu 2 after watching this video and now I can't enjoy my Bose QC Ultras. Now I want to buy another pair of IEMs. I love the Chu 2s and the only thing I slightly dislike is the in-ear comfort level. So I would ideally like to buy something even better sounding and slightly more comfortable. I am willing to spend a bit more than what I did on the Chu 2s for the right pair. What would you recommend? PS - Love your videos, long time fan. Thank you for everything you do!
Hi Ershad, I'm a big fan of your channel! I recently bought the Soundcore Space One based on the hype, but I'm a bit disappointed in their sound quality compared to my 7Hz Saletones, Oppo Enco Air 3 Pro, and other budget IEMS thatl own.

@@KOhcl I want to buy Moondrop Chu II, I have never used IEM in my life, I want to buy it for watching movies/series How big of an upgrade will be this IEM compared to my Mi earphones???? Please reply
@@zarathos630 every IEM differs in tuning. Usually they r better suited for listening to high quality music/Higher definition music. For that you'll need the likes of apple music in high bitrate or Spotify in high bit rate. Or some dedicated music player,etc. That is to truly unleash the potential of the IEM. As for movies, MI basic earphones r not bad at all. The difference, you might find the IEM to be Sharper and the bass a bit tighter, maybe a little clearer too but not that drastic. Haven't used the moon drop so can't say. But IEMs do tend be louder and crisper, the treble level ,especially, might catch you off guard. They tend to be sharp. Other reasons you might want to consider IEMs over normal earpiece would be coz of replaceable/upgradable cables. You are an audiophile and loves music and wants to listen and hear all the tid bits in the music. Also, they do look awesome. Comfort is subjective but with the right tips pretty sure it'll be ok. Alternatively you may research for some great normal earpiece at that price point.

Hey, Can you also compare Tangzu Wan'er SG and Salnotes Zero 2 which one is better? Looking for a great instrument separation, a tight punchy base, crisp vocals, and a smooth treble. You can also include Kiwi Ears Cadenza in the comparison.
Hey Ershad, been enjoying a lot of your audiophile content. It would be kind if you can make a dedicated video on setting up the audio player on our phones to use these IEMS with DACs. I have an S23 and I don't know how to set it up to listen to the flac files properly,
Hi Ershad, I have a Moto Edge 50 Pro (one of the best purchase's I have made thanks to your videos). Since there is no headphone jack, could you please suggest an adaptor that isn't too expensive and supports all Hi-Fi codecs available in the 50 Pro, so that I could use earphones with the phone? Thanks!!
I want to upgrade from salnotes zero to something with better soundstage and quality bass...what would be perfect choice for me? Can i go with chu 2 or some others?
Hey, I have a few questions as I am beginning my audiophile journey: 1. I have Samsung Buds 2 Pro. Should I still invest in wired IEMs for sound or explore the tws first? 2. I have Kinsound Type C to 3.5mm Jack DAC. Is that sufficient or should I save up to invest in the premium DACs you've mentioned in another video?
Hi Ershad, please suggest me the best among wired earphones, Bluetooth neckbands or TWS for calling/mic quality and which particular product to buy under ₹5k? I prefer TWS for their premium design over neckbands and comfort over wired earphones, but I know for a fact their mic quality sucks...
There is a long gap between episode 2&3, but the wait is worth it, please review iem's as much as you can, what your take on blon bl03 compared with these iem's, because blon is your favourite one's around 2k, please reply
I have salnotes zero too & its superb neutral iem but all depends on eartips fit. & Also it comes with 3.5, 3.5mm with mic option too. & Its shares same spot as wan'er, hola & chu...
I have Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Apple Music. Is it worth buying IEMs for the best immersive experience? My current setup sounds the best ever until now.
Galaxy buds 2 pro is so much better than all of them... Don't buy... You can check crinacle's guide for IEM. As well as any iem you will buy it will not be worth it. I wasted over 10k+ money because of him... Chu 2, chu 2 DSP, tanchjim one and jd1... He is sponsored and doing this wasting our money .. The cable is so bad that my 600Rs Realme buds 2 feel premium among all of them....
Hi Ershad, as usual very informative video (also what is this thumbnail 😅). I had a question regarding type c dac. I am someone who last month bought a KZ EDX Pro and was using it with a Samsung type c dongle with my Pixel 7a. There's a constant hissing sound that is present and it goes away whenever I connect the earphones directly to my laptop. So I figured out that it must be the dongle. I don't want to spend 2k right now, on the HEADPHONE ZONE X DDHIFI DAC right now, do you think the cheaper VENTURE ELECTRONICS Abigail Pro would be a good pick?
I recently got the Headphone zone x ddhifi. Using it with pixel 6a and my laptop. It sounds good. Previously I used a generic type c converter. I can confirm that this headphone zone dac is miles better
@@sannibh Bro don't buy it ... I wasted over 10k+ money because of him... Chu 2, chu 2 DSP, tanchjim one and jd1... He is sponsored and doing this wasting our money ..

Hi nilanjan, I am also a samsung user and I completely understand your concern so Don't worry you can use moondrop chu 2 type c variant without any issue but I highly suggest you to go with "Dongle DAC and moondrop chu 2 or tangzu wan'er" as combo. You will gonna get amazing audio experience. ✌️

@@HydrousVerified my friend bought s23 ultra, with that he bought akg too, akgs have braided cable so really good build quality, but for best of the best music qulaity , call quality(better mic), apple type C are best, wires are not braided so , build is not that strong, but vosts similar or even less than AKGs
Some tip: if you're buying your first IEM and before that you have used bass tws or something. I suggest buying IEMS with bass sound signature as you're not going to like neutral tuning and eventually end up hating the iem as you're used to extra bass sound after using bassy tws or other type of device for so long.
@@RimaShah-sl5xj I'll say a person who is reviewing audio products and claming to be so called audio phile after watching some shorts without even having a proper knowledge about it. In this list he didn't even mention tangzu wanner sg it's the best iem under 2k still now. And about zero 2 is much better than chu 2 as the zero 2 has fixed it's base issue which zero 1 had and because of that base it feels like after watching frequency response graph but in real life it doesn't fatigue at all. Zero 1 and zero 2 are the best tuned iems under 2k
I have read/watch videos/review for top best IEM under 3000 (Top 10 best IEM under 3000) But still doesn't able to take decision as which one to choose. I am looking for type C IEM between 2000-2200. Which have best tuning for Hi-Res Songs (Flac/wav). PLZ do guide me I have also read browsed your website and watch youtube videos (i am confused between these Moondrop - Chu II DSP, 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2, Tangzu Wan’er S.G. x, Truthear Gate, Simgot - EW100P and TRN MT4 PRO
If you want iem for gaming then Final vr 500 is best under 2k budget ! I tried 7hz salnotes and moondrop chu but these 2 aren't for gaming . Be it pubg bgmi or any PC games - you will have wallhack iem 😂🔥 . It's available on headphonezone
Hi Ershad! I wanted to understand something before investing in IEMs. So I bought the oppo M31 in 2020 (neckband) based on you review and totally loved it! Then I got myself a Jabra Elite 75t (TWS) which was also too good for the price that I was able to get it for (7k, 2 years ago) and last year I got XM4 (Headphones) and I'm totally loving it. Note: I have been listening to music on these devices in their default setting This is my experiences with some good set of audio devices. But now I'm thinking of getting into IEMs. I have never experienced IEMs till date. I badly want to know what am i missing or not missing out when it comes to IEMs, and what is the price range that i should be looking into given my past experiences with the above mentioned neckband, tws and headphone. Your feedback would be of great help Thank you!

The chu 2 chips paint and trash cable... The cable of jd1 is also very trash ... tanchjim one's cable's connector easily break after a month and the cable is okish(like 200rs earphones)... Rest is upto you.
@@HydrousVerifiedIEMs under 3k will have weak cables if that's your priority than it will disappoint. IEMs under 3k will give the best sound possible (definitely not all IEMs). I have used Tangzu Wan'er, 7hz zero, truthear red and they sound better than any casual earphones of that price. I always use my IEMs for listening music with care and have been using regularly for a year now never faced any issue, for other purposes like UA-cam and all I use my neckband.
@@spectra2xI understand bro... But IEMs are not meant for normal users, I do understand they provide those extra details but are they really worth it for a person who has 2k rupees in his budget and looking for a long term usage of wired earphone and ends up with this, Did he tell that you have to handle chu 2 with care bcoz the paint chips if you evee drop it, or the filter issue, Or any other comparison with normal earphones. I understand that he is sponsored but at least most ppl here are just to buy a type c earphone and not IEM... If they end up buying IEM obviously they will be frustrated like me coz the money they spent is all they had. Hope u understand.
@@HydrousVerified See bro before I purchased my first iem I have seen hell lots of videos about it and I very well knew that IEMs under 3k will not have good wire quality and I need to handle with care, cuz IEMs are not general earphones these were meant for professional singers but now these are available for general public. If you think it as a replacement of a general tws or earphones than you will be disappointed. IEMs has one goal to provide superior sound and it provides it the best. Other earphones are meant to be durable for daily rough use they are not meant for sound quality. I was very sceptical before spending my money on these but did research for couple of months and than bought it.
@@spectra2x But not everyone is knowing about these cons... Neither Im blaming you for anything but at least the reviewer should give these insights to beginners that's what Im saying.

Hi Trakin Tech English, I am new to IEMs and would like a suggestion on which IEM to buy as my first. I listen to various genres like pop, rap, EDM, and bass-heavy music, and my budget is around ₹2000. I've done some research after watching your videos and other UA-camrs, and I've considered options like the FZ ZNS Pro 2 and KZ Castor. Could you give me more suggestions?
You can blindly go for cca cra i think it kills everything.but make sure you have high quality type c to 3.5mmjack connector. It sounds like a Dolby audio with very very good bass.
@@shawnfrost9546With the reviews I've read so far, the d07 is one of the best if not the best at its price range. I'm seriously considering buying one myself too!
Definitely invest in a dongle dac(here ddhifi × headphone zone)..... Pair it with any iem and you will get the best output from your IEMs... Look dongle dacs cost a lot.... I mean a lot.... Especially here in India most of the dacs cost over 3k.... Also Ershad bhai... I wanted this kind of videos from you on IEMs and audiophilia since the day you mentioned it as your hobby.... Currently I have 2 IEMs although both are the cheapies( hola and zero ).... And this type c dac.... I use the hola more as it's more of a relaxing personality and I can listen to music for long sessions.... The salnotes zero on the other hand causes me some fatigue within an hour of listening.... It does have a feel of higher resolution to it and that thin bass makes it even more cleaner.... And damn I love both of them.... If I get the opportunity I will be buying the Truthhear zero(blue may be) since crin doesn't go wrong😅.... Hoping someday you will also be collaborating with a brand to time your own iem❤️✌️...
Hello Ershad I really hope you answer this Does the ddHifi support Samsung s23? On the website it says no. I want to whether there is work around or i need to consider another dac all together.
I know it would, I have a similar DAC (CX31993) with S23 but Samsung has its own problems playing flac files. I use Poweramp and have to disable DVC to use 32bit/384khz

best enjoyable sounding iem under 5k for all types of genres?
Hi Ershad, How will you compare moondrop chu 2 to oppo enco air 2/3 pro? is sound quality better?
Definitely much much better
Hey Ershad, been enjoying a lot of your audiophile content. It would be kind if you can make a dedicated video on setting up the audio player on our phones to use these IEMS with DACs.
I have an S23 and I don't know how to set it up to listen to the flac files properly,
Damm damm damm i have been waiting for this video for like last 3 months form you...
Tanchjim ONE DSP for Rs 2250 hands down the winner.
Using Moondrop Chu 2 Dsp and I'm loving it
Hello Genesis bhai
Big fan sir 🙇👑
Mee too bro
Hi Ershad, I have a Moto Edge 50 Pro (one of the best purchase's I have made thanks to your videos). Since there is no headphone jack, could you please suggest an adaptor that isn't too expensive and supports all Hi-Fi codecs available in the 50 Pro, so that I could use earphones with the phone? Thanks!!
I Also Have The Same Phone And Question 😅
one of my favourite series on UA-cam rn ❤️🔥
Super tumba nail good to see different ❤
Does HiRes Audio jack is necessary while using IEM, or can I directly insert into a 3.5mm jack or in C type prot?
I want to upgrade from salnotes zero to something with better soundstage and quality bass...what would be perfect choice for me? Can i go with chu 2 or some others?
Hi Ershad,
I have used KZ ZSN pro X and liked them a lot. I need a type C headphone with similar sound.
Can you suggest which one I can go with
Us bhai. Use a apple type c adapter it supports hi res lossless and Dolby atmos
Hey, I have a few questions as I am beginning my audiophile journey:
1. I have Samsung Buds 2 Pro. Should I still invest in wired IEMs for sound or explore the tws first?
2. I have Kinsound Type C to 3.5mm Jack DAC. Is that sufficient or should I save up to invest in the premium DACs you've mentioned in another video?
Kinera celest wyvern review bro, Pls!!! I think it was good but I have some clarification 😅
Hey audiophile community what's the best audio device (specially wired with mic) for gaming 🙂 Please suggest ....
I bought the Moondrop Chu II DSP after this sound is really amazing but the 0.78mm 2 pin is too fragile to handle
Would you recommend using the Moondrop Chu II with iPhone 15?
Bro , have you tried it or ?? Will it work with iphone 15??
Your recommendation Moondrop Chu II is out of stock everywhere. Nowhere to be found on internet.
Hi Ershad, please suggest me the best among wired earphones, Bluetooth neckbands or TWS for calling/mic quality and which particular product to buy under ₹5k? I prefer TWS for their premium design over neckbands and comfort over wired earphones, but I know for a fact their mic quality sucks...
Never buy an IEM as they have trash cable quality... You can buy neckband as it is best for calling as well as comfort.
If you are not serious for music listening than IEMs are not meant for you
Better go for good tws like oppo or neckband
Can you create a Spotify playlist you use for testing and some of your favorites?
yes highly needed!
Just bought Moondrop Chu II are alright. But, they're heavy! Can't wear for a movie. A few songs, that's it.
Loved the video man ! Keep up the good work. 🤘
There is a long gap between episode 2&3, but the wait is worth it, please review iem's as much as you can, what your take on blon bl03 compared with these iem's, because blon is your favourite one's around 2k, please reply
I have salnotes zero too & its superb neutral iem but all depends on eartips fit.
& Also it comes with 3.5, 3.5mm with mic option too.
& Its shares same spot as wan'er, hola & chu...
Bro do you own a Spotify playlist?? Would love to hear your playlist??... And are you a FIFA music junkie?
I have Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Apple Music. Is it worth buying IEMs for the best immersive experience? My current setup sounds the best ever until now.
Galaxy buds 2 pro is so much better than all of them... Don't buy... You can check crinacle's guide for IEM.
As well as any iem you will buy it will not be worth it.
I wasted over 10k+ money because of him... Chu 2, chu 2 DSP, tanchjim one and jd1... He is sponsored and doing this wasting our money ..
The cable is so bad that my 600Rs Realme buds 2 feel premium among all of them....
Bro you have buds 2 pro than why you gonna purchase these cheap IEMs?
Buds 2 pro is already a great pair
Hi Ershad, as usual very informative video (also what is this thumbnail 😅). I had a question regarding type c dac. I am someone who last month bought a KZ EDX Pro and was using it with a Samsung type c dongle with my Pixel 7a. There's a constant hissing sound that is present and it goes away whenever I connect the earphones directly to my laptop.
So I figured out that it must be the dongle. I don't want to spend 2k right now, on the HEADPHONE ZONE X DDHIFI DAC right now, do you think the cheaper VENTURE
ELECTRONICS Abigail Pro would be a good pick?
it is good and loud enough not durable enough.
I recently got the Headphone zone x ddhifi. Using it with pixel 6a and my laptop. It sounds good. Previously I used a generic type c converter. I can confirm that this headphone zone dac is miles better
@@Dev-Coder alright. Thank you for confirming this. Will save up a bit more and get this then.
@@sannibh Bro don't buy it ... I wasted over 10k+ money because of him... Chu 2, chu 2 DSP, tanchjim one and jd1... He is sponsored and doing this wasting our money ..

My suggestion will be to buy Samsung AKG headphones (braided cable and best build)... Also sound quality is very good (Close to those IEMs I can say... Coz my friend have one).
This is just a business that he is doing having partnership with HPZ.
hello would you recommend Fijo for iphone 15?? Honest ans plz
This is a brilliant comparison ❤
What's your take on the JBL Tune 310C (Hi-Res Audio) @ ₹1499
Dear Ershad, can you tell me whether moon ch 2 is compatible with S23FE?
I hope yes since you were testing with a Samsung device.
Please respond!
Hi nilanjan, I am also a samsung user and I completely understand your concern so Don't worry you can use moondrop chu 2 type c variant without any issue but I highly suggest you to go with "Dongle DAC and moondrop chu 2 or tangzu wan'er" as combo. You will gonna get amazing audio experience. ✌️
Buzy man cant reply 😢
I mean if you are buying the type C option that of course it will be
sir what about gaming should i go for a buy 7Hz Salnotes Zero? please reply

u should have compared type C apple earpods , they are excellent with excellent mic too, looks simple but packs alot of power, plz compare that too

Also apple earpods do have phenomenal quality in sound while comparing to those.
But he is selfish and greedy so he will never compare.
@@HydrousVerified my friend bought s23 ultra, with that he bought akg too, akgs have braided cable so really good build quality, but for best of the best music qulaity , call quality(better mic), apple type C are best, wires are not braided so , build is not that strong, but vosts similar or even less than AKGs
@@makeyourlifeeasy9619 Yes... Both are fine but for calling apple has an edge.
Can you make a shorts to just quickly explain how the equilizer settings can be modified for certain uses.?!
Some tip: if you're buying your first IEM and before that you have used bass tws or something. I suggest buying IEMS with bass sound signature as you're not going to like neutral tuning and eventually end up hating the iem as you're used to extra bass sound after using bassy tws or other type of device for so long.
should i go for moondrop chu II as i am a beginner and is it going to support in my galaxy m34 5g
@@notyourHemu if you prefer bright to balanced sound then chu 2 is an excellent choice for beginners and it is going to support your phone 👌🏼

@@SiddharthSharma-uz6un why zero 2 why not moondrop? He said zero 2 has treble spikes which can fatigue ears
@@RimaShah-sl5xj I'll say a person who is reviewing audio products and claming to be so called audio phile after watching some shorts without even having a proper knowledge about it. In this list he didn't even mention tangzu wanner sg it's the best iem under 2k still now. And about zero 2 is much better than chu 2 as the zero 2 has fixed it's base issue which zero 1 had and because of that base it feels like after watching frequency response graph but in real life it doesn't fatigue at all. Zero 1 and zero 2 are the best tuned iems under 2k

I have read/watch videos/review for top best IEM under 3000 (Top 10 best IEM under 3000) But still doesn't able to take decision as which one to choose. I am looking for type C IEM between 2000-2200. Which have best tuning for Hi-Res Songs (Flac/wav). PLZ do guide me I have also read browsed your website and watch youtube videos (i am confused between these Moondrop - Chu II DSP, 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2, Tangzu Wan’er S.G. x, Truthear Gate, Simgot - EW100P and TRN MT4 PRO

Hi Ershad!
I wanted to understand something before investing in IEMs.
So I bought the oppo M31 in 2020 (neckband) based on you review and totally loved it! Then I got myself a Jabra Elite 75t (TWS) which was also too good for the price that I was able to get it for (7k, 2 years ago) and last year I got XM4 (Headphones) and I'm totally loving it.
Note: I have been listening to music on these devices in their default setting
This is my experiences with some good set of audio devices.
But now I'm thinking of getting into IEMs. I have never experienced IEMs till date. I badly want to know what am i missing or not missing out when it comes to IEMs, and what is the price range that i should be looking into given my past experiences with the above mentioned neckband, tws and headphone.
Your feedback would be of great help
Thank you!
Bro don't buy it ... I wasted over 10k+ money because of him... Chu 2, chu 2 DSP, tanchjim one and jd1... He is sponsored and doing this wasting our money ..

Rather never buy any iem pls... They have lots of problems these ppl not talk about... The chu 2 chips paint and trash cable... The cable of jd1 is also very trash ... tanchjim one's cable's connector easily break after a month and the cable is okish(like 200rs earphones)...
Rest is upto you.
@@HydrousVerifiedIEMs under 3k will have weak cables if that's your priority than it will disappoint. IEMs under 3k will give the best sound possible (definitely not all IEMs). I have used Tangzu Wan'er, 7hz zero, truthear red and they sound better than any casual earphones of that price. I always use my IEMs for listening music with care and have been using regularly for a year now never faced any issue, for other purposes like UA-cam and all I use my neckband.
@@spectra2xI understand bro... But IEMs are not meant for normal users, I do understand they provide those extra details but are they really worth it for a person who has 2k rupees in his budget and looking for a long term usage of wired earphone and ends up with this, Did he tell that you have to handle chu 2 with care bcoz the paint chips if you evee drop it, or the filter issue, Or any other comparison with normal earphones.
I understand that he is sponsored but at least most ppl here are just to buy a type c earphone and not IEM... If they end up buying IEM obviously they will be frustrated like me coz the money they spent is all they had.
Hope u understand.
@@HydrousVerified See bro before I purchased my first iem I have seen hell lots of videos about it and I very well knew that IEMs under 3k will not have good wire quality and I need to handle with care, cuz IEMs are not general earphones these were meant for professional singers but now these are available for general public. If you think it as a replacement of a general tws or earphones than you will be disappointed. IEMs has one goal to provide superior sound and it provides it the best. Other earphones are meant to be durable for daily rough use they are not meant for sound quality. I was very sceptical before spending my money on these but did research for couple of months and than bought it.
@@spectra2x But not everyone is knowing about these cons... Neither Im blaming you for anything but at least the reviewer should give these insights to beginners that's what Im saying.
Loved it. Beginner here. Blon BL-03 or Moondrop 2, bro? Kindly suggest me 😊

Can you suggest best half in ear buds with type c connector
Hi Trakin Tech English, I am new to IEMs and would like a suggestion on which IEM to buy as my first. I listen to various genres like pop, rap, EDM, and bass-heavy music, and my budget is around ₹2000. I've done some research after watching your videos and other UA-camrs, and I've considered options like the FZ ZNS Pro 2 and KZ Castor. Could you give me more suggestions?
You can blindly go for cca cra i think it kills everything.but make sure you have high quality type c to 3.5mmjack connector. It sounds like a Dolby audio with very very good bass.
@@vinaykanth4672 thank you so much ! I was thinking of buying audiocular d07 for c to 3.5 mm is it good ?

Hi Ershad, Can you please review the Simgot EA 500 LM IEM?
Thumbnail level risen up! Upgrade your content quality too
For first time buyer moon drop chu 2 or Fiio jd1?? ps: listener is A R Rahman adamant fan
Definitely invest in a dongle dac(here ddhifi × headphone zone)..... Pair it with any iem and you will get the best output from your IEMs... Look dongle dacs cost a lot.... I mean a lot.... Especially here in India most of the dacs cost over 3k.... Also Ershad bhai... I wanted this kind of videos from you on IEMs and audiophilia since the day you mentioned it as your hobby.... Currently I have 2 IEMs although both are the cheapies( hola and zero ).... And this type c dac.... I use the hola more as it's more of a relaxing personality and I can listen to music for long sessions.... The salnotes zero on the other hand causes me some fatigue within an hour of listening.... It does have a feel of higher resolution to it and that thin bass makes it even more cleaner.... And damn I love both of them.... If I get the opportunity I will be buying the Truthhear zero(blue may be) since crin doesn't go wrong😅.... Hoping someday you will also be collaborating with a brand to time your own iem❤️✌️...
Moondrop chu 2 or kz castor which one to buy pls suggest
The DidiHifi states " *Not compatible with Samsung S22,S23 and S24" , so would you still consider it if i have a s23u ? i want to use it with kz pro
Now that's what I call a thumbnail. I almost thought it's a recap of some movie about a kind of Frankenstein..
Hello Ershad
I really hope you answer this Does the ddHifi support Samsung s23?
On the website it says no. I want to whether there is work around or i need to consider another dac all together.
I know it would, I have a similar DAC (CX31993) with S23 but Samsung has its own problems playing flac files. I use Poweramp and have to disable DVC to use 32bit/384khz
what about Blon 03? is it good? Also which one is best for gaming with mic
