    Hey there , i am from Bangladesh. Currently i am using truthear hexa. To me midbase and soundstage dosent satisfy me, but the details of midrange is great. So is it worth if i move to ziigaat nuo. i love warm sound with slightly bass boosted , good soundstage and slight peak at treble not too shouty

    Haven't bought yet but judging by the graph the upper midrange can be too much for me in some songs (especially females vocal when they're screaming). Because i have Heart mirror pro with super similar upper midrange and it's shouty for me, but for 25$ it doesn't matter that much since it's a simple fix with EQ (3100 khz -2,5db, 0,9Q). This is just a thing for people to remember so you don't get overhyped

    Depth in an IEM has been a game changer for me with the Penon Fan 2. Sounds emerge from the darkness and it’s so enjoyable. I switch to the EA500 for more sparkle, air and energy. Depth is good on the EA500 and soundstage is excellent. The EM6L sounds like a winner.

  • @drewmorg.
    @drewmorg.9 ай бұрын

    EA500 and EM6L are the most compelling to me. Seems like Simgot is on fire right now, EM6L seems to have the special sauce and I like the fact its light and can probably be worn longer than EA500. I just have Truth Ear Zero right now and it's amazing to me how much more fun it is to listen to music than most headphones I own ... even the Edition XS for the music I personally listen to.

The only iem that compete with them is the Theaudio Monarch Mk2, which has a fantastic detail retrieval, almost as spacious soundstage and even more realistc/natural timbre. They both trade a blows, and im lucky to have them both!

    I'd Say The UM Mest MKII also competes, maybe even a bit more of a funner listen. Soundstage is a bit more holographic. Also, the MEST works for a wider range of music, and is less forgiving for poorly mixed/mastered material.
