For those asking this video was made before I went on vacation (before I had the SM4 and EM10 etc)
SM4 would be top of great, and EM10/PILGRIM would be middle of endgame worthy :)
this help me so much
Where would you place the Supermix 4 and EM10 on this list?
i second this question
SM4 would be top of great, and EM10/PILGRIM would be middle of endgame worthy :)
@@jayyaudio Am I assuming correctly then that the 7Hz Aurora is considered better than them due to the genres it really works with? In your IEM ranking list, you did say that the Aurora was genre-specific.
Excited for your impressions on the Davinci!!
Nice review. Like the comments around upper treble.
Not only IEMs, my guy speedrun to upload 4 videos today
Great Ranking video!!! Thanks.
I enjoy watching these ranking videos while keeping in mind that Jay's rankings are based on his personal preferences.
ofc
Excellent video, which are the no.1 in the category GREAT ?
check end of video
Great video! Is the Cadenza 12 in this video the official or pre-production unit? Would the Diva have been 2nd place if not for the poor customer service?
production and pre-production
Hi Jay,
What would you recommend as a fun and exciting all-rounder, a "one and done"? Chopin or CKLVX? Or should I spend a little more money on the Quintet, Cincotres, or Doscinco for better resolution and technicalities? Are the CKLVX really lacking detail and resolution compared to these slightly more expensive sets?
Thank you in advance. You are doing amazing work :)
Thanks man, go Chopin
good video bro, where would you put the kinera skuld on this list? I bought them for like 200 dollars and I'm fascinated with them lol
niche, pretty great deal for $200
Great video man. I'm torn between buying the Artti r2 and the cca trio, can get them both for ~30$. I like bassy sound and I also want them for gaming. I heard the cca is also good for gaming but I don't know about the R2, there isn't that much info about them. What do you think would be the best option??
CCA trio
@@jayyaudio thx, sry I forgot I asked something similiar in another video of yours. Is the R2 not good for games?
SLIIVO SL-41 are criminally underrated, the full package and build is awesome and worth putting in ENGAME is you're on a budget.
If you like warm neutral with good tech and also good for games they really deliver above their price point.
They beat P5 in vocal presence /Chopin in treble timbre and rumble / pa02 in bass cleaninless.
Smaller shell than pa02 and snug 2-pin recessed connector for everyday carry.
It is less layback than Pa02/cklvx but more versatile.
Also I got the opportunity to demo 2 HYPE4 and I noticed slight unit variation :
One having slight more sub-bass rumble at the cost of some layering in that region the other being more tame for a slight cleaner midbass layering.
The more sub-bass set was purchased in Febuary the other was purchased in June 2024.
Hey Jay 👋🏻 quick question
What do you pair with your IEM, if it's a dac/amp, can you tell the name
topping g5
Are you planning on doing a review of the Dita Project M ?
maybe
Where is the supermix 4😅
I want to buy a pair too, not enough reviews
made this vid before going on vacation (before I got the SM4 and EM10)
@@jayyaudio if it was in your list here (SM4), what would be the rank of it?
F1 Pros were the first planars I tried, since I was curious about the driver type. I would've loved to have kept them, because I liked the design, sound, and the overall package. Sadly, my ears hard-rejected their fit: no contours/wings + aggressive nozzle angle were making my earlobes go numb after 30-45 minutes consistently. It got so bad, that I wound up returning them and got the original S12, which sounded pretty comparable to me and were way more comfortable (all-day comfort, actually).
My 500LM is definitely brighter than my EM6L. The treblehead in me liked it, but after listening to it stock for an hour or two and going over to the EM6L, S12, or other relatively bright set I have, they sounded like warm IEMs lmao. I knew I had a reason to get the mod kit along with my purchase last month. 500 mesh filter + medium sponge for the red nozzle helped bring them in line with my other daily drivers. Pretty happy with them now. Especially like the bass on the LM compared to the EM6L, which I find a little pillowy and stunted, almost like the DD handling the bass on that thing is too fast and doesn't let bass notes decay out all the way or something. Found it hard to believe that set and the LM were supposed to have roughly the same level of bass on the graph.
Yikes man it is hit or miss with the fit sometimes, unlucky this time, but live and learn I guess? Some of the LM definitely do graph brighter than some EM6Ls, mine was the opposite, my LM was less bright than my EM6L, and ya I agree the bass is better on LM, much harder. Thank god for the tuning kits lol
Thanks for the response about the SM 4 EM10 and Pilgrim. Where would the Mega 5 est go?
great or bottom of endgame worthy
Have you tried the mega5est yet? Interested where you would place that in the rankings.
top of great or bottom of endgame worthy
Hello Bro JayyAudio
Which IEM can deliver Unforgettable & Sensational Experience when watching Movies between KZ Vader Hi Res VS CCA Trio ?
Thank you Bro JayyAudio 🙏👍😁
havent heard either, but the CCA TRIO is pretty decent for the price
What would you recommend to someone who mostly listens to metal, rock, and weeb music with a budget of around $1000? I'm really torn.
check ranking list and genre guide
I have the ew200 saw that linsoul has shozy p20 on sale for 70 usd should I consider them. would moondrop dawn pro be enough to get maximum juice out of them.
Oh hell ya $70 is a deal
@@jayyaudio definitely buying them. ew200 bought of your suggestion loved them, appreciate your work. btw will 150mw balanced output be enough for p20s
Hey Jay! Nice ranking video.
By the way, have you had the chance to listen to CCA/KZ's Rhapsody? i know I've been one of those who was hard on the case(bordering on disdain) of KZ, but after hearing a couple of reviewers, who also had no problems shooting KZ down when warranted, giving the Rhapsody props; i decided to also get myself a set.
And you know what, they're right. -yup, "hell just froze over", well, at least for this particular KZ/CCA model- This isn't the typical KZ/CCA tuning, and yes, the tuning switches also work. This is indeed a different KZ, with regards to tuning style. I've owned a couple of "flagship" KZs and the Rhapsody is on a different level. This is the first KZ that did well with my Gangstagrass, Adam Calhoun, Movits, Brass Against playlist.
It seems to me like, with the other recent releases they've made, like the CCA Hydro and CCA Trio(KZ Vader) that's been getting positive feedbacks, there has been some changes that has taken place within KZ. It could either be a change in attitude or a change in certain key people and positions, or a combination of both. Maybe they're now finally getting tired of the BS drama and issues they consistently keep getting themselves into, and decided to begin getting their act together.
Just consider Simgot, for example. They used to be really crappy with their tuning and build. The Simgot that we have now, beginning with the EA500, is a different Simgot. Word on the street is they got acquired by another brand that's on the premium price tier, and basically overhauled Simgot and made it into what it is now. And man! Simgot's been killing it since they came out with the EA500.
Now, if KZ keeps this up, and that's a BIG IF, then were looking at a serious price tier disruptor. And they'll be doing something that will be good for the hobby. Specially for those in the hobby who are on limited financial capability.
But! I'm still going to continue to be cautious around KZ(and their sub-brands). I still wouldn't recommend blind buying their IEMs(best to listen to reviewer feedbacks first). But, after what I experienced with the Rhapsody, KZ's doing something different; the good kind of different. Hell may have frozen over for me, but only for the Rhapsody; and i still wouldn't skate on that ice, at the moment; hehehe...
Again, i'm no audiophile. I'm just someone whose now previous daily driver(yes, the Rhapsody just took over that designation) is the Legato so, you might want to take everything i said here with a couple grains of salt 😉But i sure would also like to hear what you'd think of the CCA Rhapsody and CCA Hydro. Maybe these might even be just good enough to make it on your next tier list.
...and I'm waiting for your collab 😁
I'll make a vid around CCA and KZ some day :)
@@jayyaudio Maybe you can do just these three: the CCA Hydro, CCA Rhapsody, CCA Trio(KZ Vader). Because these are the ones, at least the most recent ones, where KZ/CCA seems to have done some really good work; or as we would often hear in this hobby, "Punches above their price-point".
...looking forward to hear what your honest, unbiased thoughts will be 😊
@@jayyaudio looking forward to hear what your honest, unbiased thoughts will be 😊
Hi Jay, where would you put Aune Jasper among these if it was on of the IEMs from current time ? Especially given the oxygen is still listed here.
Lol asking the same question everyone cause this is the only decent set I got , yet to get my hands on them though 😅
havent heard it sorry
@@jayyaudio That's so sad and apparent failure of Aune's marketing! Anyways thank you Jay, I love your reviews 😌
i wander where will supermix4 gets its position as per your test ?
great
proud hype 4 owner here
What's the best you've heard for metal under $50 ??
tanchjim one 3.5mm
Some people claim hype 4 and Cincotres are almost identical sounding iem. Is it worth paying more money for hype 4?
Hype 4 better bass and smoother
Hi Jay, did you saw the video of HBB and his review of the CKLVX D41? I am so confused because he destroyed it to the ground, and youmpraise 8t so much, whynis that difference in opinion so huge? It keeps me very hesitating into buying them.
Also wish to know why this is the case. Did HBB get a bad unit with a dead driver or faulty connectors? It's definitely the most confusing IEM on the list.
No clue, based on my experience and other reviewers most people really liked it, might just be a library thing or unit variance
I know Akros rated it highly too
At the 11:46 mark, he talks about chingo, but I google chingo and it not come up. What is the correct spelling?
ziigaat cincotres? Ziigaat cinno?
What was the frame of reference iem in the GREAT section? Please tell the full name.
mangird tea 2
You're very knowledgeable. How do you remember everything?
thanks, and dunno lol
Not a single KZ on sight, wow the game has changed so much
jay have you tried the mk2 version of the sliivo SL41?
Ya I made a video with it with the Cadenza 4 and CKLVX
Where would you put Dita ProjectM in the list?
havent heard sorry
Awesome video as always
PS, thanks btw for recommending the Sanchai eartips, I got it from the Xuan NV purchase, really liking the seal it gives ♥️ (especially for easily oily ears like mine)
Where would you put the Softears Twilight on this list?
endgame worthy
I finally had the chance to try out the EM10 & Pilgrim in usual my local audio hangout, these are the new winners in the mid-fi market, EM10 is a bit more detailed than Pilgrim, while Pilgrim is quite an intense set (in a good way) that remind me of the Gaea with a bit less aggressive, kinda like a baby Gaea, going from your list, I would put EM10 right on the middle of "Endgame Worthy" while Pilgrim would tie with Hype 4 at the tail end of "Endgame Worthy", maybe put the Hype 4 above the the Pilgrim since it works better as an all-rounder thanks to the bass. But the true stars I've had the chance to try out in the last hangout was the Crimson, very bright but for a merely 4-ba set, the bass is extremely well done with good & meaty texture, not to mention top-tier technicality as well, there's gotta be a lot of R&D going on from Symphonium to be able to achieve such feat, definitely an end-game for sure. Now what I'm more excited is the fact that one of the dude in the circle is about to receive his Annihilator 23 version, I would be able to demo that out in future hangout.
Crimson is a beast for sure, so is the EM10 and Pilgrim. great releases this year so far
@@jayyaudio indeed Jay, we're only halfway into the year 2024 and so far, things have been great in the mid-fi market, supermix 4, EM10, 7hz Aurora, Pilgrim. Now, with the release of the Storm Regular Edition and possible release of 7th Acoustics Asteria by year end, the battle in the summit-fi segment will be a sight to behold as well bro.
Thieaudio Oracle MK3, Dunu x Gizaudio Davinci, Dita Project M@@damtran993
Thank you for the tier list jay 😊. Let me ask a normie question xd, which one would be good budget upgrade from salnotes zeros? (irrespective of tuning)
price? I'd save up and grab the supermix4
@@jayyaudio thanks for recommending, it's bit over my budget though. My budget is around $80-$100
A bit late to the party but where would the nightjar singularity be if you've heard them?
havent heard
I know it's a bit off topic, hype 4 or oracle OG ?
OG if you want clean/vocals, bass/stage go Hype4
Are you going to be reviewing the mega5est?
check my em10 review I did a comparison there
Where would the Heyday be on the list? Or its there and i missed it? 👀
top/middle of good
As a female vocal lover, I have a CIEM RSV and a Diva 23, maybe I've reached the endgame for vocals? Looking forward to the CIEM version of the Enigma as an upgrade to the RSV.
You've reached endgame vocals LOL
What is the IEM listed third for Endgame Worthy
Kinera verdandi
Is there no Truthear zero red?
Why is fudu not in the list where would you put it
average
Hello brother❤,
I plan to buy iem under 400 dollars, can you please recommend widest soundstage iem. ( widest soundstage only)
PILGRIM
Thanks brother ❤
I would love to see your opinion on the "correct" version of the dusk, whether it would be worth it or not
What is this "correct" version?
@@zblusThe dusk with more pinna aka (1.5k-4k) Region
@@Nero-yn1mf do you mean by EQ? Or is this a different new IEM you're speaking of?
@zblus A new Iem because there have been QC issues, and Crin said he went to Moondrop to address it. So, I could kill two birds with one stone by seeing if the QC has gotten better and what the "correct" version sounds like.
@@Nero-yn1mf are you saying Crin changed the tuning of the Dusk or just addressed QC issues?
How does one get this correct version?
Where will u put Letshuoer S12 pro?
uppermid of good
⭐Thanks for the list. Had to rewind 34 times to decipher the model names from your Asian fast talk. Did you leave all your KZ's at home, lots missing from the list?
kz bad company
I wish you could review more of softears iem like volume, studio4, twilight, turii ti
me too
Where can I find this tier list
check rankings list in description
My favorite IEMs so far this year are the Pilgrim and the EM10. I can't stop listening to them. My Mega5-EST finally shipped. We shall see.
Please update us on a comparison of the 3?
If you can only buy one, Mega-5. It's just the perfect reference set. Best I've ever heard, anyway. But, they're all great to be honest. Pilgrim is wide and bright and engaging. EM10 is intimate and warm and detailed, like you're in a small private venue. You can't lose.
@@misterfinerthings Thanks. Great comparison.
Is Pilgrim very detailed? If so then is it more detailed than say the EM10?
Is it airy as well?
Pilgrim is detailed, yes, but it sounds more open, and doesn't have a black background like the EM10. So, you may notice more little details with EM10, but you don't get that openness that the Pilgrim has. They're perfect complements to one another, really. Big venue, small venue. Both detailed. Both have impressive bass. If you end up getting the Pilgrim, try them with Spinfit W1 tips!
@@misterfinerthings What distinguishes Mega5est from EM10 & Pilgrim?
How would you compare Mega5est to those two? Appreciate it
Where would EM10 or supermix4 go?
Great at least
Most of the other LM measurements were done using with the Silver/Black nozzles which are pretty much unlistenable, for me
Have you heard the AME Raven?
nop
Forget this list. My Simgot SuperMix 4 just shipped from China, can't wait. END GAME
Nice speedrun. Now will this affect your ranking list?
Gonna update that later, but didn't really affect it much
Did I miss the Studio 4?👀
I'm curious about that too
great video Jay! I need your review and ranking of fiio fa19 asapppp
What do you recommend for under 150?
simgot supermix 4
@@jayyaudioanything airy under $100 I was looking at Hexa originally
@@jayyaudio got them should be seeing them in a couple days. But out of curiosity what do you think of the Meze Alba?
Couple of Simgot IEM are missing.
made this video before I went on vacation
Herculean endeavor to comprise all these iems.
Great video but next time please keep in mind to say the manufacturer name before the model name/number. If you aren’t constantly researching the IEMs, you probably don’t know all the models, but with the makers name it is easier to find what you are speaking about.
that's why there's a list
nice list man....why is VARIATIONS not listed? n where u would list it btw?
came out too long ago that's why, probably in great
@@jayyaudio ahann...how hype 4 is better than variations?
I love my Thieaudio V16. I compared it with the other Thieaudios. This bad boy has the most detailed sound among all of their IEMs.🤔
So you love the Prestige LTDs?
@@_chiaki_nanami_ Yes, It is more relaxing tuning compared to V16 and the EST drivers sounds brighter but not sharpper.
Bro can u please make the video where u compare iems to benchmark headphone hd600 available to all...or make a different video for everyone...there is no proper video on youtube which does this...hd600 lasts for years,what do say about iems in similar price category. Circuit boards are a big failure point in multi driver iems....would love to know your views
Totally Apples to Oranges. IEM don't compare at all with full overear Open back cans except on tuning which doesn't account at all for the over all sound Quality
actually have a video on that coming LOL (HD6XX ho)
@jayyaudio looks like it's for members only...is there one for everyone coming??
Can you review the tansio mirai x please jay
ya if I get a unit sure
Where would UM Mest MK2 be in this?
endgame
@@jayyaudio Aight, you convinced me, thanks. I can get them for 1100 USD new, so I'm taking a plunge.
Yanyin Canon 2 pls bruh
You missed studio 4 lol
top of great, end of endgame worthy
Will you try another dusk unit after returning your current one?
I have, it's still just "good" haha
where is sm4 and em10? old video?
Hmm good question. He gave the EM10 an S-, so it'll probably be in the great if not endgame worthy category. I got mine and I really like them.
made this before I went on vacation heh
What about Dita Project M
havent heard
where is supermix and nightingale?
check comments, nightingale would be under niche
At 14:20 isn't tangzu heyday?
tangzu x hbb heyday
lol, my bad, I heard "Hades"😅. Nice video btw.
I think the SM4 deserve at least the 'great' spot
SA6 MK2 be like, "In terms of vocals, we have no vocals"
word LOL
TBH, I think the SA6 MK2's vocals are quite good. But it is true that for female vocals it is not as forward as the conventional tuning of other iems.I personally call the SA6 MK2's vocals "creamy"
EPZ 530?
didn't come out last year

Yo why are you getting triggered, these are not politicians, I just made an interesting remark
Cry even harder
My god this guy is a karen lmao
starbucaners😂😂😂😂
Hmm...
Got my sm4 finally and I gotta say...I prefer the cca hydro. Sm4 lacks the deep visceral sub bass of the hydro and I have to add 5db to even get close. Vocal timbre is better on the hydro although slightly recessed compared to the sm4 which I can mostly fix with +3db at 500hz on the hydro. Hydro has better instrument separation imo. High end was a bit too much for me on the sm4 and just not really enjoyable. I used spinfit short wide bore tips (don't remember the actual name) on both which I do prefer greatly over the stock tips of either. I also use +3db 80hz low shelf to on the hydro to get a doscinco like bass. Comfort is better on the sm4 as the hydro is pretty large for my ears (I use small tips) and find to need repositioning after awhile.
Tldr; sm4 is like dessert, it's sweet sometimes too sweet, lots of flavors not really filling but hits a lot of taste buds. Hydro is like meat and potatoes, it's thick, meaty, satisfying, well seasoned that just leaves me in a food coma
where will the studio 4 fits?
