More like 8'. Just dile up 2x video speed.

Started with blon-bl03, after 30+ iems later I end up with IER-Z1R. Now I'm trying out DIY-ing my own entry level iems. It's a long and expensive journey

I really have come to appreciate your reviews. You are coherent and honest. The consummate reviewer.

I just got me a pair of the kz zs10 pro and I'm so blown away that I kept looking deeper into Iem's and now I'm watching all your videos

I started with kz, thinking more drivers are better and then found out actually tuning is what is most important to me. I then moved onto the Aria as per your many recommendations, and now move between the aria the S12 and also the truthear zero. All have their place when I want to go to a wired connection for sure. But I mainly have a bunch of true wireless earbuds while I’m out and about during work days. Three I always carry with me are the Jabra elite 75t active (super bass head), the Jaybird vista 2 (more secure fit with wingtips and an ip68 rating), and just a pair of AirPods gen one. All are awesome s for their own uses. Great video Timmy, as always have a good one

Another great video, keep them coming Timmy. Started with Klipsch s4i, current daily’s are Hana 2021 and ER4XR.

Great to hear your story man!

Man my go to IEM for many years was the Shure SE530. I think I daily drove those for more than 15 years before getting into the headphone market. Kept comming back to the Shure's until I listened to the a BLON BL05S, and then a Starfield, S12 and Timeless and yeah, I don't use the Shure SE530 anymore. They are very good but the later are more fun to listen to. Using the S12 lately even for gaming and I just can't seem to go back to the Shure's. Great vid! Looking forward to more!

I started with a moondrop star field. Now I’m currently on my IE-600. 1 year so far on this hobby. But headphone wise, started with HD560S. Now I’m on my Arya stealth .

IEM’s I currently Go to are my CCA-CA16 which have never let me down,I do use them whenever I’m out but Bluetooth linked to my AZ09 Over Ear Bluetooth Units and they work great. Otherwise at home my go to IEM is my Mele with upgraded cable although I tend to prefer Full size cans indoors so that’s then covered by either My Sennheiser HD650,HD600,HD58X or Audeze LCD-2C. Currently on order are the Sennheiser HD560s and 2 pairs of IEMs being the Moondrop Kato and another Set of Moondrop Chu as I Caught the last pair up with my Vacuum cleaner ripping the wires out of the Centre Splitter unit🙈

Oh god the last part. Sorry to hear that man. I tend to use my full size headphones indoor mostly as well. Thanks for sharing!

I started with the KZ ZST, first ever audiophile IEM, they were amazing for newbie old me, but got fatiguing really quick, so I decided to upgrade to MeeAudio M6 pro g2, it was night and day difference, they blew me away, used them for a long time and then I got the starfields (heh) right around when they were super hyped, I loved them, everything the m6 pro did good the starfields turned it up to 11 and beyond, used them for a couple of months until the timeless realeased and crinacle ranked them A, for 200$, I NEEDED to hear this level of performance, and when they arrived I realized what diminishing returns were, while I could tell the difference in tonality, when it came to details it was hard to notice for me, I thought it was going to be the same as my previous purchases,that they were going to blew me away, still, they felt better (and I got them for 135$ on AliExpress lol) so I was happy, and timeless is what I daily drive today

i have the kz zsts and get really tired of the treble and the strange squashed sound of music. do you have any reccomendations for a warmer iem sub 100$

My first IEMs were the Zero Audio Carbo Tenore. Little, bullet-style treble heavy iem that remember being mind blowing after years of using Apple earbuds, but they probably don't hold up nowadays.

Just another day, you splashed video for big ongoing sale. Trigger is pulled. You were reserved to recomend Starfields. Now I understand why. It's stepping stone. Thank you 😁

Great vid bro. I’m new to this hobby as well. A lot of new releases makes it a lot more confusing for a newbie like me. I own the S12 which is awesome. It’s a touch bright and sibilant at times. I bought the Audio Hekili which is quite the opposite of S12. These two serves me pretty well for the time being. I started to listen using the sennheiser Cx 180, RHA MA390, 1More Dual Driver and got serious into this hobby with the KZ ZS10 pro, Fiio FD3 Pro, Moondrop Chu, S12 and Audio Hekili. My current daily drivers S12 and the Hekili paired with Hiby R3 Pro Saber Dap. Cheers✌🏼

Just ordered my first ones, the 7Hz Salnotes Zero's

My first introduction to audio world was with big boy Sennheiser with crap earbud (i think it was 10$ MX series) in my high school year (2012). And yet, I noticed the difference compared to stinky buds from phones. Because of this, I entered the hell hole of audio world, I joined local online forums, and visited several stores. Then I moved on to Vsonic VC02, I read about Vsonic GR02 hype back then but I tried VC02 and it's sooo good. But, unfortunately it had bad QC and pin I literally lose the driver because it became loose somewhere 😂 It still hurts today. During my college years (2015-ish) I rotated between cheapies Audio-Technica CLR100 and Fiio EM3 earbud. Then I moved on to Zero Audio Carbo Tenore and Ocharaku Codonguri. After these two, I kinda got off from IEM world. (circa 2018-19) I just returned again because I discovered crinacle, you, and several youtubers. And boy oh boy chi-fi taking the world by storm, and I kinda lost by seeing new brands are now. Now, I'm daily driving Moondrop Aria SE. This hobby is moving so fast, it's gonna be interesting to see in a couple of years!

Every day carry for me bounce between the Moondrop Aria and the Crin’s Midnights ..and on occasion the OH10’s or KATO….currently been running all day at work this week my end game IEM’s Moondrop Variations ☺️ Is it perfect ..no…but what is 🙃 Great video, thanks and stay safe.

I was more of a headphone guy and had only APP for in-ears, which I now use when running or I’m on-the-go. DMS and Joshua led me to try Aria, which I like but now use rarely. Then I got Softears Volume and I love it. But it attracts my attention too much (in a good way) so needed something else/more layed back for listening while working so I got IE300 (crazy comfort btw). I also have Final E500 on my bedside for in the bed KZread before going to sleep. I’m back&forth now between SA6, Oracle, and Variations. But there’s also Focal Elegia (and so many others) around that price so I’m very confused. For wired closed back, I only have V-Moda M100 Master so the Focal could be nice. I’m happy with my 560s for open back atm so my wallet is safe at that end. I’m also not sure if my ears are capable of appreciating anything better than the ones I already have :) And now have 8 headphones&IEMs so maybe I should stop for a while :D

Timmy is just collecting all the endgame iem now. Can't wait for the Viento review

i started with a Razer Hammerhead (the first one). It sounded horrible and muddy and i switched over to Edifier H185, an earbuds that i used for around 3 years. After that, i bought a FiiO F3 and Moondrop Spaceship, all broke within a year. I moved to a Pioneer CH3T and i loved it and still survived till now (already more than 2 years). I then recently bought a 7Hz Zero and it's become my main ever since.

…I’m about a few months into my IEM journey. I have bought/tried/returned OH10, Kato, BASN Bmaster, IE600, FH7S…. and the One I have kept above them all as my daily is-Variations.

I Started with KZ ZS3 that's the first IEM I got I'm in love with the sound that time Zs3 stayed with me for 3 yrs then I bought KZ ZSN Pro and X , the upgrade from Zs3 is so good after that my Most Recent Buy is Moondrop SSP I'm in love with Moondrop Tuning Now damn . I thinking Buying Aria Snow Or Starfield or the Kato . Moondrop is ❤️ hehezz

lol had a similar experience with the 1more quad drivers. used sennheiser and beyerdynamic earbuds for years and was looking for a replacement my broken sennheiser momentum earbuds and was doing research in the internet but didn't have my reliable sources yet so learned about the 1more quad drivers and found them on sale. But i found the sound instantly very very dark. voices came across very dampend and congested. after that i came across the whole chifi stuff with the blons, tins, ikko and moondrop. but using the sennheiser ie300 as my main daily driver

I also happened to own a V-Moda ZN, bought one in 2016 and had it up til 2019. Don't quite remember how it sounds, I think it was a hard scooped V-shape which was very typical at the time. This was before I got into the IEM hobby. My first IEM was a Shure SE535 I bought back in 2013 which broke in less than 3 years because I never took care of it which caused one of the shells to break open. Now I own around 21 sets with no true endgame Edit: Also owned a Triple Driver, but it's so mediocre that I gave it away to my neighbor who was going to spend 20 bucks on some junk.

@@Gizaudio It's a hard one, I'm looking at the Tia Trio and Diva the most but there are a ton of other options. But I'd love to try some cheaper IEMs before I finally move on to the TOTL stuff, namely the Maestro Mini and Kinda Lava. I think I'll focus on maxing out the cheaper IEMs before I move on to the true endgame IEMs, trying as many IEMs as possible is what I love about the IEM rabbit hole.

Started with the Sennheiser Px-100s, then the px-100 iis. Then moved to like you, the V-Moda M100. Will always have a soft spot for those. Then bought the Tin Hifi T4s and I still love those. Also own the Moondrop Aria and the QKZ Khan BGGA edition. Still much prefer the T4s, regardless of the worse fit

my first IEM ever: Kz zsn pro back in 2018 due to the back-for-buck hype it got in my local audiophile community at the time. Now in retrospect, after having been exposed to a few other good IEMs that are now my current daily rotation, the zsn pro is truly not good anymore so I gave it away for free to my buddy. So I used that until 2020 when I got a chance to demo the Moondrop Starfield, immediately loving its sound so I decided to add it into my collection. At that moment, I used the Starfield for home setup and zsn pro for outdoor use when i'm working out or at the workplace. Fast forward to the present days, I've upgraded my collection, with home setup being the absolutely legendary Shuoer S12 (insane technicality for its price, truly my best purchase in a long time) and outdoor use being the CCA CRA. I'm currently quite satisfied with the status quo and hopefully it would stay this way for quite some time, at least until the next major IEM sale lol. The IEM industry has been advancing so quick, it's tough to resist the urge to try out new things.

@@jstevo1349 Haha I can truly understand your frustration bro, and I was forced to use the zsn pro for 2 years lol so the struggle was unbearable. If u wanna upgrade, then I can highly recommend both the S12 or the CCA CRA, which, as I have made obviously clear in my original post, are the 2 current IEMs I'm using. S12 would be a HUGE jump in both the v-shape tuning as well as technicality compared to the zsn pro, but that is like $129 so if you don't wanna stretch your budget that much, then even the CCA CRA is still a solid budget option at a ridiculous price of $15, with again a better v-shape tuning and better technicality than the zsn pro.

Timmy is finally back 😭 anyways great story and video as always! My first iem was arias and star field and now I’m up with the symphonium Helios what a upgrade! Lol 😂

You got to try the QDC Tiger. Slightly less detailed than V14, but much more coherent, natural and engaging. One of very very few flawless IEMs to my ears.

First actual pair i had were some cheap Panasonics (maybe ergo fit) even now wasnt a bad buy. Then i went through the JVC phase i had the colourful fdHAFX1X. I also actually 'got serious' in the audio game with the one more triple driver. At that time i thought it was the best one could get the price. Oh boy that reality was easily shattered when i head the likes of the kz ate, soundmagic e10 and ttpod t1. Then the Rabbit hoke of the kzs followed back when kz was trying different stuff and not releasing the same thing over and over again. The ed9, zs3 notable mentions. I have the limited run zs7. Then i went on to some japan fi with the carbo basso. Wonderful iems till this date i feel personally for bass. Sony mh1c was something i tried to diverge from chifi as well. Oluv from oluvs gadgets loves them. Rightfully so. But they were a bit dark sounding for me. I was going through this jungle cutting off the path from tfz t2, mh755. I wanted to tey everything in the under 50 usd budget. Then i landed on the BQEYZ KB100. I did not buy iems for a long period after those. Probably almost a year later i dove into etymotic er2se and later er2xr when i realized i liked my thumpy bass in edm. They (er2xr) are the one iem i feel everyone who loves audio and music MUST own in their lifetime. They are such value for money its incredible. After listening to them. I felt i had found pretty much the best of what under 100 usd had to offer. So I bought the Sennheiser ie600 to experience what a higher price tier had to offer. I think this will be the last iem i get. Paired with spinfit cp145. The sound is so clean, fun and yet not obscenely coloured. The jump in technical performance is huge too. But i did realize going to higher price iems would not scale with price. So the thirst for the best was quenched. I feel like it would be stupid to spend more than what I spend on the ie600 for a possible 20% improvement in technical performance. If not lesser. And so ie600 is my endgame :) Atleast for now haha

my starting iem were zmoda zn and klipsch x10. current rotating thieaudio clairvoyance( had oracle,didn't like the as much). astell & kern zero 1 campfire Jupiter. haven't ventured past $1000 iem. clairvoyance have been my favorite. $1000 plus I use over ear audeze lcd xc and hifiman arya

currently rocking the Senheiser ie600 and the Mackie MP460 is mainly for live monitoring

Started with a bunch of Skullcandy headphones and IEMs, then like most I got to the hype of M50s and also got Grado sr80es as my open backs. Got into IEMs properly with the spaceship after my cheapo rock zircons died and decided that I much prefer IEMs over headphones, so got the default $100ish rec at the time which was the starfields. Sold em awhile back after upgrading to the Yume and Legacy 5s but after delving into the hobby more I start to miss the starfields because I have weird ears that don't fit the latter 2 well, my fav rn is the Hook X not only because of the balance of tonality and technicalities but also because it's the most comfortable IEM that I've tried so far for me. Saving up for either the oracle or variations.

I started with the KZ EDX PRO, a blind buy, honestly I just wanted to try the audiophile world, so I also bought my current dap, the Sony NW-A55. I enjoyed the bass until I started looking at audiophile youtube channels, then I was introduced to the Aria, and wow I was impressed, cleaner sound, detailed without being boring due to lack of bass. Of course, I read comments that it was better to spend more for the Kato. I bought them and felt the improvement, I started to enjoy the details without having a high level of bass. I would like to make a definitive leap in the moondrop IEMs, what I am looking for is something with more details, more loudness, a bass similar to the kato. I've seen your video of the ultimate moondrop iem buying guide, but I can't decide between Blessing 2 and the variations.

FYI, when you select a headphone model in Wavelet, it wants you to select the headphone model you're using (ie ), not the one you want it to sound like. Wavelet's AutoEQ applies a frequency adjustment to try to make your headphone sound like the Harman curve. This adjustment looks different for each headphone, so it lets you select the headphone youre using.

Hello Tim, how are you? Did you think taht the s12 is good for Metal ? I want to try It

Please Discuss about where to listen to HiRes Songs and cheap DAP or Mobile Phones are enough or not. cause IEMs are not much worthy without good source of music. and You are doing a good job. Keep It Up.

Do you use the anole vx with 3.5mm or balanced? Saw some sources say that 4.4 is the way to go with the vx

Which is a better IEM? Oracle or the RSV? I have a hard time picking between both even though I have demoed them for a while. Would be nice if you could compare them. I would like to use for Music and gaming RPG n JRPG. Also what is the song playing at the end of your video?

3:03 the key to happiness in audio, right there people

Started with blon 05s with final ear tips. Now thinking to move to next step. But confused about moondrop kato/blessing 2 or go with timeless/s12….suggest me if possible….

ikko IH10 or S12 is probably the top choice to me in this price range. I like more crispy mid detail. And I care bout the design I need to wear outside. Timeless is a turn off in my taste.

The best way to not constantly buy new and more expensive audio gear is to use something ok but not amazing as a daily driver and rather use "the good stuff" every now and then, which keep the magic of those better items alive for way longer.

Started with ath im02, then get a pair of artio rk01 (the fit is a pain tho). Next step is u6t and now waiting for my Diva as well. Thinking to get an andromeda or spear labs asl 4.5. For custom, I may go for a12t in the future. Heard that Elysian is releasing Gaea with effect audio, wonder if Lee is hand making these as well lol Will you have a chance to hear spear labs asl 4.5 ?

@@Gizaudio That would be great if you can get a review unit! Wonder how it will compare with Diva! Still waiting to put an order on Diva....

So in conclusion you like the treble of diffuse field, Mids of etymotic and bass of harman whith its best technicalities.

@Gizaudio

Жыл бұрын

Not really harman bass. I need more midbass than harman target. Though I wouldn't say I prefer one particular signature as most IEMs I listed here are quite differently tuned aside from Monarch MK2 and Oracle

I need one iem, my budget is 50 - 100, I already have zstx, bl03, csn and a lot of tws and Bluetooth headphones. I had a lot of wired earphones like Sony, jbl, Samsung. I don't want to get in that rabbit hole so pls suggest me one good iem under 100$

i have a wired question , i am not an audiophile but i do listen to music everyday , can i buy only one iem for 400$ and use it for 4 years , will it make sense , to spend 400$ on chi-fi if i am not an audiophile.

Ha ha. I still have that v.moda zn.

Are there any wireless/bluetooth iems?

Fiio FH9 review!

And what about custom IEMs? Do you have any? I would personally think that it would be a next step after trying so many models on all performance levels, but maybe you have a specific reason to stick to universal fit?

@Gizaudio

Жыл бұрын

I stick to universal mainly because I do reviews. And it's more accurate to review off universal units rather than custom. Though I am planning on getting a custom of something I already own in the future. I just don't know which one I should get.

@@Gizaudio Ohhh, yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully when you get a custom pair of the model you already have in an universal fit you will make a video about all the differences in sound and isolation. Great video as always, I only got ensured to pull the trigger on SA6 during the autumn sale, thanks for everything :D

Ditto for 1 more quads! :)

How do you view the Dunu SA6 in computation to all the ones you mentioned in this video. How do they hold up?

@Gizaudio

Жыл бұрын

I would say it holds up very well against Oracle. Above Oracle the SA6 is outclassed. So Anole VX, Monarch MK2, Diva, and Twilight are all noticeably better than SA6. SA6 is on the same level as Oracle. And SA6 beats everything else not mentioned above.

Don't you use the timeless anymore? I thought you enjoyed them more than the s12, I might be remembering wrong though

@Gizaudio

Жыл бұрын

Timeless is overall better than S12. But over the months I've been using S12 a lot more since it's far more unique sounding. Timeless is guess you can say sound more correct but usual.

It really pisses me off to see how hard is it for this channel to grow, like man, I don't know anyone else as honest as Timmy, he always say "THIS ONE IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE AND HERE'S WHY" most of the reviewers just skip that and say "it comes to taste" 💀💀. I really really love Timmy's reviews and don't be shy to review end game IEMs, although we can't afford them it's still quite interesting, BTW still asking you to do vlogs in Japan bro, gonna be lots of fun.

What is the song name in outro

When I started the audiophile hobby, I used to own a bunch of headphones instead of IEMs. Because at that time, mid and high price level headphones tend to sound significantly better than similar priced IEMs. In terms of sound, headphones usually blew IEMs out of water. For example, Sennheiser HD 6xx and Moon drop blessing 2 have no comparison, Beyerdynamic T5 3rd gen and Campfire Andromeda have no comparison. I really want an IEM sound as good as a headphone for travelling, and I tried a bunch of them, I feel disappointed. How come similar priced IEMs sound so bad compare to headphones? I almost lost hope and thought I would never buy IEMs until I heard end game IEMs at Camjam. 64 audio u12t, yes, this is what I want. This is an IEM suppose to sound. Finally I found an IEM that sound as good as my focal clear mg for travelling. But these have a huge price tag and only reserved for end game IEMs. At similar end game price point, do headphones still beat IEMs? Yes. But only a little better. This make a lot sense. Of course at that level, price performance ratio is not considered. But if you want your IEM to sound as good as headphones? Save more and get end game IEMs. To me, it worth the investment because you will enjoy the best sound and your wallet won't be empty all the time.

I use to live in the USA and it's not much of a hassle to get chifi. Takes about 1-2weeks shipping and the options are much more plentiful. U12T is great though, end game bass and details. Neutral safe midrange and great treble. Just too boring overall. Nothing else to fault about it.
