See several requests to compare to the Performer5. Wanted to chime in here as I own both the Performer5 and Performer8, as well as the EM6L. Short answer, just buy the EM6L if you don’t own either. To expand on that point, if you’re looking at the $300-350 bracket, the P5 makes more sense because it competes with far more expensive sets at its price point. The same goes for the P8, which has clarity and detail that competes with sets that are far more expensive than it’s MSRP. As an example, I prefer the P8 to something like the Dunu SA6 MK2. However, if your budget is up to but not more than the $200 mark, the EM6L is the best bang for your buck right now. It’s also one of the clearest upgrades from something like the Zero Red. The P5 is a different set than the EM6L, so you’re not really comparing tuning here, but more comparing the value for money as both are punching well above their weight class. TLDR: I would suggest owning both as they both bring something different to the table, but if you are just getting into this hobby and have heard the hype around the P5 and that’s why you’re looking for a comparison, the EM6L could be the right IEM for you until you get up to much larger price points and start to understand your own preferences a little more (do you prefer neutrality, elevated bass, boosted treble, midrange performance, etc). If you’re asking because you already own the P5 and want to know if you should consider downgrading. No; while the EM6L is the IEM to beat below $200, there’s no reason to give up some of the benefits of the P5. You’d be making trade offs, and will likely regret losing some of the things the P5 brought to the table.

I was considering this since I liked both the EA500 and the P5, but there seems to be no reason to get the EM6L. Maybe I'll try the EA1000. Thank you for your comments!

Excellent review... Simgot has been making some impressively clever moves this year. Moondrop's star status seems to have shifted👀... to Simgot😎!

Cant wait to see what your analysis is! I ordered one yesterday. Just got a dunu falcon ultra too lol my god do I have the fever!

Another great video! I wish you would do a video on how you choose to pair a certain IEM with a cable and for what reason. Also show how you check your cables. Thanks, again for your hard work.

Ordered it on the first day. So have confident to be a good blind buy after watch this , Thank you.

Wow, Simgot continues to knock it out of the park. On my short list definitely. Thank you TonyTex.

Great video. Been interested in this set for awhile now

Thanks for the song recommendation, I just downloaded that George Duke album, I only knew the Uncle Remus song with Zappa, before.. From Dusk to Dawn, what a great test track, besides being extreme chill.. My Trn Conch handled it very well. Pr2, not so much.. Volume loss in the lower bass was significant.

My EM6L is on the way. Hoping to get a good one for everyday use. Fit is of the utmost importance.

What I don’t get is how some reviewers are saying it’s a bit thin and bright (super reviews) he still gave it a 4/5 though. To me it’s warm and lush with a smooth extended treble. Nothing thin about it, maybe a bit forward pinna to some. Nothing a tuning filter can’t solve.

You're right, the cable is trash when taking into account the quality of the iems. Which cable do you suggest to use with this iem?

I bought the one you suggested in the truthear red video and it was great (a sort of pinkish nicehck cable)

I'm currently thinking about my next upgrade coming from the Olina SE and it's hard to set on a next IEM to save up for. So far I'm looking into the EM6L, Aful Performer 8 and the Xenns Top... What would you suggest? Thank you so much for your reviews and the effort you put into them.
