I have the Moondrop Beautiful World. 501 of 777. Love them and won them off HBB. So they are even rarer for me.

I have the Dunu SA6 Ultra, lucky owner and hopefully it will be reissued again. But I also have the Barcelona, a 10BA set handmade by Hi-Fri, one of the very few units he made and actually sounds amazing (other units were much worse), this is a sort of lucky prototype.

Don't tell Timmy your collection, he may start a new hoarding hobby. 😂

and a new youtube channel to go with it

I love the Letshuoer Galileo on the desktop wallpaper. Such an underrated IEM that few people are talking about now.

rarest thing I own is a 1:1 S12 mod by my friend tom, theoretically it can be replicated as its just an extension of the Prometheus Mod that Shortbus made.

Cowon X30. Extremely undervalued IEMs. Very technical and detailed with excellent bass for BA IEM.

People always skip over the Legacy series from Theiaudio...To my ear they were legendary for price/performance. I still daily my Legacy 5s, to this day they compete with anything at the 200 dollar mark and a bit above. I did enjoy the Oracle, MonMKII and III...Not the biggest fan of the Hype series...Looking forward to Theiaudios next generation

By far the rarest IEM I own is the OG Dark Magician by MiM. I haven’t seen a second hand unit go up for sale anywhere in at least a year. That’s just one of those IEMs I’ll probably never let go of. The vocals are seriously magical.

My JAYS Q-Jays is my now rarest set that started the whole iem hobby for me. They claimed to be the smallest iem in the world and came from sweden, they have a flat tuning with lovely timbre that I missed for a loooong time before chifi became seriously good.

You had a fragrance collection before IEMs? I think I need to start a channel too then I should've bought the lokahi when I saw it selling on headfi, I passed up on kinda lava too lol The only cool thing I got coming is UM Mext UNICEF Ukraine special edition. I gotta get the mest one too lol. My sister has the elven maiden but it chipped since she used it as a daily driver lol I'd buy hidition Viento right now if I could. That looks so good to me and it's in line with my aesthetical tastes. Lol I feel like this video is a "pls sell me an Excalibur" hidden as a cool iem video

My 'rarest' sets are probably the oldest I still own haha. Vsonic GR07 MK1 which I recabled/damped and HiFiMan RE-ZERO (a limited low-impedance silver-coil version of the RE-0), both around 13 years old.

Well a lot were sold but I have the blessing 2 dusk that’s now discontinued

I regret not buying the Lokahi back when it was available. I have the OG Mangird Tea, which is getting tough to get these days.

I own a 7th Acoustics Proxima, and i can say, its pretty rare.

JVC HA-FDX1 is kind of rare since it came in limited runs, I own that one. A similar IEM that came and went pretty fast was the Xiaomi Piston 3, it was an early victim of stealth replacement, like the original CRA or VK4. There are some that never got a big enough following to stick around like the OG Zetian Wu which I much prefer to the heyday, and the FiiO JD7 which imo was better than their main FD series. The most obscure IEM I own is Panasonic HJE-450 which has a stupidly big 13+mm DD. As you might expect the bass is incredible but it comes with a hefty treble spike that needs to be tamed, like a precursor to the Shozy P20. Lastly there are the historic duds like TTpod T1E, an early dual-DD IEM.

The rarest iems in my collection is the Tanchjim Oxygen, black edition with 2018 production date; and the MiM Dark Magician V1 black.

Omg, those are nice!

Moondrop cresent, QDC Gemini, Tanchjim Darling, 7th acoustic Pro 1

The rarest iem I have is probably the Sony MDR-EX1000. I still have yet to hear any iem with a wider soundstage. It even competes with headphones in that regard!

I'd love to see a video on the top 3 or 5 IEMs on the market right now, and not as a value for the money, but just the top ones in general. I only recently started learning about all this but it seems like the Elysian Annihilator, the Odin, and the Raven would be the top 3 right now?

My Lokahi was from a group buy batch in my Discord server last Summer, instead of an all BA setup he swapped in 1 DD for the low end. Such a great set.

@@rahulmenon4357 it's more of the reverse for JH since the JH13, JH16, and Roxanne was made and intended to be customs and was offered in unis later on afterwards. Also, not to the general audiophile market but more for stage and live use.

Between monarch mk3 and prestige ltd which one has the closest tuning to the thieaudio clairvoyance?

I have a few "Unicorns" in my stable but the Blon Cardinal I presume is the rarest I have.

The most rare in my collection is Massdrop x Empire ears zeus XIV and EJ07 x kinda lava by HBB.

I still have Cypherlabs Austru from 2018. Bass impact is somewhat lackluster, and it's not that well extended, but vocals sound so sweet on these.

The Obravo Cupid was one of the first planar IEMs and one of the first IEMs I acquired, long before planar IEMs were a big thing. It is also considered by many audiophiles to be one of the worst planar IEMs ever made. Oh well! 🙄

I still have Hifiman RE262, still the best vocals in my collection until today

@flockofwildcactus

4 ай бұрын

I acquired these while they were still in production and agree, it has a very unique tuning unmatched for vocals. I also acquired an RE272 after they went out of production but before they were unobtainable that had one channel out, but like many cases it was due to a failure with the cable, so a re-cable fixed it. Ironically I did the same thing with an RE600 later on before the price dropped. It's a shame all HFM IEMs had terrible cables and strain reliefs, but if you can or find someone who can swap in a better quality cable and lower profile strain relief, it's worth it IMO.

AüR Audio Aure, Dunu SA6 Ultra, Softears Turii Ti are all discontinued and rare to get.

My rarest IEM is the Nocs NS800. They're what got me into IEMs. I tried them again a couple days ago and they haven't aged well. They're okay.

Which one to buy chu 2 or blon 03 my first iem !?🤔🤔🤔🤔

Hi, 7th Acoustics, anyone bought via Wise transfer? The transfer was in a personal bank account or company account?

Love my Kinda Lava set, other than that i have the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5EB, still probably the best bass from a BA set I've ever heard. Used sets are still kida pricey on eBay.

Qdc 4ss & kinda lava are probably my rarest sets😅

I have the moondrop crescent and it's still a competitor 😊at least to my ears they are...😊

Sony MH755’s. Good ol’ classic. Edit: Sadly, the left channel doesn’t work anymore. Looking to get it repaired in the future. Sounds amazingly good for what was a $10 set.

Cubing collector here, with ~50 cubes. 😅

Probably my rarest is the Thor Mjolner Mk1. Sadly, I don't listen to it much anymore.

AUDIOSENSE DT200, THE BEST IEM EVER MADE UNDER $600. Very sadly discontinued now, though there's hope for a clone from Flo Audio in the future

Rarest IEM I own is probably the DUNU Vernus which was a very limited re-release of the Falcon Pro with more balanced tuning, only 100 were allegedly made, mine is number 91/100

It seems there is still a seller for the lokahi where im from.

used to have the moondrop kanas pro but then sold it for a kxxs
