Rank Product Name Picture Description Rating
#1 Tanchjim Kara Tanchjim Kara - A Lesson In Sophistication Amazing sub-bass, exquisite mids and detailed highs. A decidedly well-defined sound profile. Very comfortable. An incredible design aesthetic.
#2 Truthear Nova Truthear Nova - The Stellar Symphony Of Sound Bass that's awesome in quality, not quantity. Mids that make vocals stand out. Treble is meaty, yet might be a bit much for some. Good soundstage and great technicalities.
#3 AFUL Performer 8 AFUL Performer 8 - A Mid-Centric Marvel A full-bodied sonic presentation, particularly in the mids. The lows and highs are competent and lush. Detail retreival is remarkable. Soundstage is narrower than expected.
#4 BGVP NS10 BGVP NS10 - An Underground Rockstar Technical finesse meets rich, controlled bass for an engaging, musical experience. A gem with minor quirks including the just okay vocal tonality and silly filter system.
#5 TangZu x Divinus Fudu TangZu x Divinus Fudu - A Modern Poem Of Velvet Sound Highly musical sound signature. Not a titan for lows, mids or highs, yet manages to have sparks of genius and be fun. Comfortable velvet eartips included.
#6 7hz Sonus 7hz Sonus - A Refreshingly Pure Hybrid Lean mids, an easy-to-like bass profile, and treble that doesn't back down. Decent ergonomics. A new standard in 1DD+1BA driver configuration IEMs.
#7 7Hz Salnotes Zero 7Hz Salnotes Zero - From Zero To Hero? Balanced sound profile. Not for bassheads, but a champ for mids and highs at this price range. One of the best value propositions in audio today.
#8 Kinera Idun Golden (2.0) Kinera Idun Golden (2.0) - Where Craft Meets Crisp Articulate bass meets vocal-centric mids and bright, yet controlled highs and treble. Not a bass-thumper, however. Stunning design that feels luxurious.
#9 SeeAudio Yume SeeAudio Yume - The Modern Classic That's Still A Gem The original heavy-hitter that continues to make waves with its stunning design, clear vocals and impressive sub-bass, but lags in technicalities and treble performance.
#10 Truthear Hola Truthear Hola - The Entry-Level Enigma Appropriate for long listening sessions whilst keeping you engaged. Decent bass, above average mids and balanced highs. Refreshingly comfortable for the price.
#11 Moondrop Chu II Moondrop Chu II - Fixing The Original’s Sins One for bassheads that want good comfort and above average build materials for the price. Not a technical or analytical IEM, but enjoyable nonetheless.
#12 Dunu Titan S Dunu Titan S - Master Of None Technically proficient but musically meh. It gets high marks for its treble, but don't expect any emotional fireworks from the lows or mids. Solid accessories package.
#13 Juzear Clear Juzear Clear - Deep Bass, Shallow Details Heavy bass, but it's a bit congested. Mediocre mids with meh vocal representation. Shouty highs. Poor ergonomics. Driver flex. Great cable comes included.
