I paused this at 0:51 just to say i'm so glad you did this. I don't care if I own any of these or not i'm just so happy you put the time in to bring all of us who love metal and rock.
Hype hype. I have the Monarch Mk2 and IER Z1R arriving in the next few days. Can't wait!
i don’t think you capsule have posted this video at a better time, thank you!
Finally finalllllllllllly I've watched what i was looking for Video specifically only IEMs for metal music 🤘
I hope you update this list sometime this year considering all the new IEMs, specially below $50. I'm still rocking a Tin T2. Btw I recommend listening to BAND-MAID for rock.
My faves: HBB Kinda Lava, BASN MTPro, Z12, Timeless, KZ PR1 Pro, Ikko OH10, Simgot EA500, and for a budget option: KZ ZEX. Good metal music, which also has great storytelling and sound production quality: all of Amaseffer's albums.
Irreversibile - Erra (i was looking at iems for this genre when searching your channel, now you have a sub)
One of my favorite songs It Dies Today - Through Leaves, Over Bridges
Great video, finally someone talking about rock and metal. I prefer Heart Mirror over Blon 03 or Mele for metal, faster driver and better details, handles busy tracks flawlessly.

We are in the same boat. I prefer the bright-ish signature of Heart Mirror over Tin T3 Plus and Aria. Aria is the least exciting of the 3
A7X and Arch Enemy are two of my favorites too. Love listening to metal on AKG N40 and Beyerdynamic T5p
Erra - Drift, Remnant, Memory Friction/ Alazka - Blossom/ Dayseeker - Burial Plot. Love the vids. Thank you for your work.
Great video again!
i love my kinera nanna 2. estats do amazing for top end, very natural and intimate vocals and it does well in the bass but i would like a little more sub and mid but can always eq that in a little. great separation and resolving
I have monarch mk 2 and agree to this, it is versatile as hell
@doodlebug4947

Hey, I would love to know if the bass is enough for bassy genres like pop and rap? Some people have said the Monarch doesn't have enough mid bass and can sometimes be boring. I love vocals, though, and know that is it's specialty.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.
Into the Storm by Gojira... Great production and incredible drum work. My favourite iem right now is the Mele. But I think I want to upgrade to the 7hz!
yes, I sunk in over 200.00 USD for 7Hz Timeless. I want to hear praises ad nauseum about what a great purchase I made. for now, this is my end-game IEM. I don't have 2k for U12t nor Sony IER-Z1R. my favorite album of all time is NiN Broken
I use Moondrop S8's as my EDC and I listen to 90% metal - from classic and power to death and black, and the only thing I don't think is great is the upper mids for vocals. It sounds just a smidgen recessed. But just like the Variations here, the sub-bass and upper treble detail is truly exceptional.
Awesome vid!
I believe the Mangird Tea is fantastic for Rock and mental, it's really good all rounder, really excellent for Rock. A very cheap alternative would be Queen Of Audio Vesper sounds amazing for Rock, just 60 USD
My test for IEMs with regard to playing rock and metal will be Live's T.B.D. and G3's Foxey Lady (Live). These are more for testing the capability of the units rather than being my favorite rock and roll tracks.
I love the Crinacle hoodie :D
Lol I loved that You really wanna know more about Timeless? hahaha. Waiting for my pair so eagerly.
On the low end I'd go with the KZ ZS5's. It's two screaming ba's and two pounding dd's are great at for metal and synthwave. I love listening to Animals As Leaders, Carpenter Brut, Ghost and Messa on them and for less than $30 you can't beat them.
The community is asking for a 2023 version of this...

Hey man, i was thinking on get the famous Hana 2021, or maybe even the Oxygen, because people say its the best on the price for Vocals specific, i even remember you too saying something like that. But on your IEM list for "Superb Vocals" you jumped directly from the Kato to the Blessing 2 Dusk, any reason for that? Hana/Oxygen arent better than Kato for vocals on that price range? should i get Kato than? I have aria, but there is some sparkle on treble that i doesnt like for vocals… Now but i pretend to buy 2 good IEMs with different signatures for all genres, im between the 7hz timeless+ Hana/Oxygen or Kato.
well idk if classifies as metal but I like Tool (some songs: Schism; Invincible; Pneuma; Fear Inoculum) Also I agree the TinHifi T3 plus are amazing, very nice fit and sound! (btw nice hoodie)

Ow yeah that Mest Mkii will be on my buying list
Perfect list 👌
For people trying to get into metal. I like recommending songs like Wrong side of Heaven by Five Finger death punch. Great Vocals Great music Hits hard✌🏻
hello if you recommend the timeless, what would happen with the shuouer s12? Is it the same option as the timeless ??? I'm interested in that in ear.
metal is huge with so many different sub genres in between sub genres. Idk what could be the only metal song to recommend, but I think stuff like Between The Buried and Me’s Extremophile Elite, Slayer’s Angel of Death, Sunn O)))’s Big Church, Mastodon’s Capillarian Crest, Pelican’s City of Echoes, or Sumac’s Thorn in the Lion’s Paw are pretty much metal to me. these are like the best ones in their respective styles but there are many other amazing metal acts today
That was Alissa White Gluz on the right at the opening ❤ My metal reccomendation: Profetens Apenbaring by Gorgoroth from the album Under the Sign of Hell 2011 If you're feeling a bit more towards the experimental folk metal side then: Alfadhirhaiti by Heilung
LOL I like that Timeless reaction
FINALLY SOMEONE CREATED A VIDEO ABOUT THESE. I REALLY NEED THIS FOR I LIKE ROCK MUSIC.
I like pop/country/R&B soul music .. Any good recommendations? Im using ZSN pro X and EDX pro at the moment.. Been thinking about Tripowin TC 01 over mele.. coz my friend who owns both says TC01 is better than mele.. Help plz im stuck in dilemma..
Thanks for the video Timmy. KZ DQ6 is another great budget option for rock/metal and slam. 3 dynamic drivers. The UM 3DT as well. It slams like MEST MKII yet has better coherency, but is hot in the treble which can be tamed with filters. Dream Theater, Opeth, Queensryche, Darkwater, Evergrey are a few favorite bands to check out.

@@queenschism1234 Melvins > God. yeah it's kinda hard to find a good IEM for metal at large but I think Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk is pretty good for metal for $330. it's technically competent or I could say highly technical although the bass is more like one-note-y but the rumble, thump and kick are pretty good enough. and it's quite speedy, never bloated or congested. it's an all-rounder that excellent with jazz or any sub-genres of jazz. having owned and tested more than 20 different popular IEMs, I can't find anything that performs better than B2Dusk below $500. it's not weird Timmy didn't mention Blessing2 or Dusk because he's been talking about it for many videos ago. but I can assure that it's still the king of anything below $330. or maybe even in the $500 realm.

@@queenschism1234 I can not give you any other rec as B2Dusk is also superb with vocal. the correct note weight and the proper depth are the 2 key points of why Dusk is better than anything else around that price. I just could not think of anything else, unless you don't like neutral with a bass boost sound signature.
This guy is the CEO of advocating for the Moondrop Aria 😂 I’ve watched several videos on this channel now, and almost always the Aria is always on your lists regardless of the new releases these last few months. I’ll take your word for it, I ordered one for myself for the 12-12 sale! Cheers 🥂

To be fair pretty much everyone is like that these days. Pretty much every major reviewer has a hard on for that set! Can I personally haven't tried it although I've come damn close to buying it. Every reviewer pretty much recommends it. I've seen some people say they prefer the legacy 2. Almost nobody prefers the starfields at least because of the price differential.

Can I ask you something? Basically I am playing some comptetitive games such as cs:go, valorant. I have just realised that my sound blaster x-fi doesnt give 5.1 surround sound. In the games, I definetely should 5.1 and 7.1 surround sounds. Well my question is if I get a good dac for example FiiO E10K, will it give me 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound in game? If it doesnt do you know any specific good dacs that provides 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound?
Gizaudio would the crinnacle zex pro be in here or no just not sure if it was out when ya made thus video but that's my current pair of iem and first pair so I'm Def lookin to upgrade no more than 250 bucks but mostly listen to rock and live recordings of rock concerts from 50s 60s 70s any feedback would be greatly appreciated as of now I'm leaning towards the timeless the Kato or the yume midnight!! Take care man!!
@Gizaudio what do you think about the Vision Ears EXT for Rock / Metal ?
Can't wait for the t3 plus review
Ok my son has taken my b.d custom one pro, loved em. Running around with tws momentum 3 but need some iem that are more like semi-open overear for acustic guitar and metal. Pandamon, stellaris, kz pr1 pro what do you fit best? Dont wanna buy new over ears. And love Slash Kennedy myles Live acustic Civil war. Max 120$ isch
As Always, everything is correct as you say.VX is best tho I'm still on the fence of getting the Monarch MKII. On the recommendations ( and I really want you to listen to them on the VX and maybe on the MKII as well so you can tell me your opinion ) altho I don't exactly know the genre of this ones: By Massive Attach - Angel, Massive Attach - Risingson, TOOL - The Pot, ZHU - Came for the low, Infected Mushrooms - Avratz. I think you might enjoy these :D lmk
which has better bass, monarch mk2 or anole vx and which ranks higher for this genre?
Check out "Martyr of the Tyrant" by The Temple - new extreme death metal act out of here in New Zealand. Love my Aria's, wish I could afford those Monarchs!
I’m a rock and metal guy and I’ve been listening to iems for 15 plus years. I own a bunch of iems and for my money I have never heard anything do rock and metal better than the JH Audio stuff. I have the Roxanne the Jolene and just got the Sharona… all fantastic and leagues ahead of anything else for rock and metal music. Don’t hear people talk about them much… these iems were basically tuned for rock music. I absolutely adore all three of them and I don’t think anything touches them for rock and metal. The Sharona is an absolute beast. Clarity, detail, bass and bass extension and otherworldly treble extension with the new super tweeter they have in there. … and all the Harvey iems do this wonderful thing with the mids that just make distorted guitars sound fantastic. Best I’ve ever heard for these genres and I don’t buy or listen to anything else at this point. Not probably a common thing to say in the audiophile iem world… but I love them. Just my two cents.

Nice vídeo bro that was what I was looking for. Just one problem.. I saw it too late because I bought the olinas se and I got disappointed cus they kill the mid bass. And for that reason I would like, if u want to do it , to ask if u may create a video explaining all the technical words that audiophiles used to speak when are describing an iem. And if u can do it whit examples that will rock!.
I use Tri I3 pro and Moondrop Blessing 2 for all my song list...listening from Led Zeppelin to Dying Fetus
Listening to "Elvis Is Dead" by Living Colour, an unstoppable band worth every ears' attention even if you're not into rock or metal. This song in particular is a party of musicality and genre fusion at a caliber that cannot be explained with words, and the original SeeAudio Yume make the whole album (Time's Up) beautifully clear and natural to my ears (be warned: the tuning is not backed by impressive technicalities so don't expect the soundstage you get with the Moondrop Kato...it's about a single step below that level of "openness" and imaging quality)
Hey man, I’m gonna be honest. I do not listen to metal at all. However,, my favorite metal song I’ve ever heard is duality by Slipknot. I know it’s probably extremely basic lmao great video yet again, Timmy! Also, crin hoodie is heat.
Concerto- Cacophony....... Jason and Marty are legends
Timmy, please compare the Tin T3 Plus and Moondrop Aria to Hidizs MS2 and Whizzer HE01/HE01B. They are in the same price range and all have good reviews

If you haven’t heard it…check out “ghost of perdition” from Opeth (or anything from their Watershed album or earlier, Blackwater Park & Stilllife are my favorite albums from them ). Agreed, Mest Mkii 2 and Metal (and everything else for that matter) is where it’s at. Don’t like 7hz Timeless at all with Metal though….too thin. Details are there but midrange has got no weight to it, imo…even out of my desktop headphone amp (V280)it sounds anemic. I think vocals are kinda hollow in general with Timeless… perhaps I got a bad set. 🤷♂️

What does "thin" mean? Timeless is mostly bass which also bleeds into lower mids. I find it excellent once EQ'd a little. It handles everything with ease but imaging isn't as precise and stage is shallow but decent height and width.

I’m torn between ER2XR, timeless and variations….. I just want one true revolving IEM doing it all without missing any details, while getting lost in the music rather than analysing it…. Pls suggest me the right one. A wide soundstage would be a plus…
it's about drive, it's about power
Venture Electronics BIE is good sidegrade to blons and great for this genre due to better treble extension. Although vocals take a step back compared to blons but with better treble extension than blons. Bass and sub-bass is same on both. Overall I prefer blons becoz of the pleasing mids and vocals, but BIE is good nonetheless!!! Not many know these I believe and no good number of reviews out there!!!
