March 18, 2023•399 words
| Name | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sennheiser CX 300 II | discontinued | V-shaped without many details; said to be a Sennheiser branded but not Sennheiser manufactured cheap earbud |
| Shure SE215 | 100€ | great fit, cable broke twice, okay for a IEM for bassists on stage; not a lot of details, muddy and too bassy |
| V-Sonic GR07 | 100€ | great fit thanks to rotating nozzle; great detail; liked the tonality and tuning; hint of sibilance; seemed that it sound varies slightly with humidity; |
| Shure 215 | 80€ | bassy and muddy, not worth the price regarding its performance; great fit and seal; great for drum sessions; |
| Sony MDR-EX1000 | 800€ | feels like the bigger brother of the GR07 with smoother highs; |
| KZ ZSN-Pro | 10€ | not good |
| CCA C10 | 30€ | cheap, okay detail, I liked the tuning; perfect to use as a monitor when recording video; |
| FiiO F5 | 60€ | well balanced and okay detail; fit is great and especially with foam ear tips; accessories and build quality are nice |
| Moondrop Chu | 20€ | amazing performance for its price; not enough bass for my taste; fit is also not great; |
| Tin HiFi T4 | 80€ | great DD with a tuning that leans towards the GR07; |
| Etymotics ER2SE | 100€ | amazing detail and great DD; great noise shielding due to invasive fit; |
| Tin HiFi T3 Plus | 70€ | fun bassy IEM and good details; my daily driver on the go; |
| Moondrop Blessing 2 | 320€ | wow, technicalities on-par with the ER2SE but with extremely well extended sub-bass for the rumble; separation of instruments amazing; daily driver on the computer |
| Aiderlot M5 | 100€ | great details, but too harsh and too mid-centric for my ears |
| Letshuoer Tape | 100€ | great details, can be a bit harsh sometimes; tuning could be just a bit more bassy for me, but I love this IEM while listening to Tower of Power |
| Moondrop Blessing 3 | 300€ | improved tightness in the bass compared to the Blessing 2 and a bit more air in the treble, still not harsh or fatiguing |
