  • A BIG thank you to Aoshida Audio for providing the E20 for review, much appreciated.
    The E20 is a collaboration between Aoshida and LetShouer. With a dual dynamic driver configuration & semi open vent design it brings some uniqueness to the budget realm. How does it perform & compare to the Tin Hifi T2?

    Hello, i recently bought this E20, also i have Zero Reds. I bought them for only 20 bucks with a few discounts and vouchers on amazon. However, it really impressed me, sounds really good! I only hear like the Toms of the drums a little big loud, and a lack of midbass, but it doesnt really matters to me. Guitars and vocals sound really good here, in treble region there is so much air than in reds, i think maybe more detail. Soundstage is bigger than reds, but imaging i think its a little bit better on Reds. I would recommend it for Jazz or that stuff, also rock if you dont mind of bass so much.

    Hello! I really appreciate your job. I have Truthear Zero Red snd and for me the tuning its amazing. What would you recommend as an upgrade in detail, separation and soundstage but with same or similar tuning that Reds. I was thinking about this Aoshida but now im not sure... My budget is under €150, maybe S12 Pro? I listen to rock and psychedelic rock

    • @TheHonestAudiophile

      S12 pro I haven't heard, the og S12 is more technical than the Zero Red but has significantly more mids and treble presence, is more of an aggressive presentation. SImilar to the Zero Red in the 150 range, check out the Moondrop Kato.

    A far above average, honest review of a less than average iem. You rock! 😀

    Harman tuned IEM disgust me! They all have a similar v-shape sound with sub bass and bright, shouty mids and mediocre technicals. I wish manufacturers would take a more neutral approach to a presentation, I think they would be surprised at how well it would be received when done properly.
    Thanks again for being honest and willing to tell a manufacturer what you really think of their product instead of beating around the bush and kissing ass.

    I returned mine due to shouty aggressive upper mids.

      @@TheHonestAudiophile exactly. For instance,you don't like the Tin HIFI T2 DLC but I love them instead, they sound fucking great to my taste.
