THIS LIST only include the BEST Earphones I personally test and find excellent for their price from the more than 200 iem I’ve tested.
As well, it will be limited to sub-500$ price range and will be regularly updated.
I decide to take a more severe approach that favorise NO BS quality over decent sounding quantity. The goal is to only put what stand appart in term of AUDIOPHILE SOUND VALUE. While this can seem subjective, my experience is concentrate on this highest sound benefit quest since 10 years so i’m very aware and sensible about this type of value. Sure, this is subjective to some part, but I try my best to forget my personal tuning preference taste and focus on critical listening; grumpy, no bs way.

THE GRUMPY LIST (Overpriced IEMs that will never make this list)
-Shure KSE1500:
Bright DF neutral, no bass, thinner than thin and sound cold and clinical ultra vivid way (2H listen i will never forget, fastest transient response like an x ray weapon that ive never heard before, but ultra boxy so it surely need deep fit for slightly better sound experience (in your head cerebral wow clarity and imaging))
–Campfire Andromeda:
Smooth neutral, not that bad, but lean, boring, ”jack of all trade master of none”, lack of air and sparkle, foggy warmed imaging, a bit like a Seeaudio Yume with less bass and better technicalities (more BAs).
–Dita Audio Fealty and Fidelity:
Benchmark for me of overpriced IEM, these are both single DD with limited technical performance. Tuning of both is brightish to plain meta bright and shouty, yet, with open soundstage wich is surely the selling point since it seem we are into an hall with boosted guitar amps everywhere…boosted clarity goes wrong in 2 way here. 1500$ is pure scam.
–Hifiman RE800:
These where 800$ at the time and I only try for a month the Gold version….bright, shouty, intimate and in your face, no soundstage, no bass, no timbre joy, no refinement. A good DD goes bad here.
–Campfire Polaris:
Basshead goes bright and fuzzy, think about a KZ ZS10pro with way more bass, yet of better quality (faster). With electronic and anything non acoustic beat heavy music, this can be fun and even enjoyable, but at this price we expect less sibilance and mid range and treble torture. Primitive basshead at prime price=big no no.
–Dunu Luna:
I remember at the time, being among only reviewer not liking them. Well, reason is simple: i don’t wanna please Dunu or Audio Distributor for extra freebies etc. And have a proper technical champion using single Pure Beryllium driver, the Final A8000. Let say the downfall come from sky high here…it feel like i was listening to a good 200$ single DD IEM, with fast attack speed but excited way, in the sens, i was impress by sound layers chunks it can throw at me. The Luna have no sparkle and air and sound thick as a whole, warm mids and brightish treble that struggle to don’t fall into dark saturated oblivion. For more than 1K$ its a very niche romantic tuning, that we can call lush mid centric and a fail attempt to mesmerizing musicality.
No Borders Audiophile 
I like the speed and clarity of the Kanas Pro, but I want less fatigue and a lot more bass/body/fullness. Where do I go..?
IKKO OH1 could be your answer bro. Incredible bass: thick and well definite. Great fowards mids: clear and fast. Good treble: crisp but not overly agressive.
Hi. I wanna ask. What do you think would be great upgrade from einsear T2? I really like the sound signature. I try different earphone like Bqeyz kb100, KZ zsn, and Senfer Dt6 but I just love Einsear T2 sound more. There really no problem in sound just the separation is very messy in busy track (too bad I usually listen to rock) . Did you have any recommendations that have Einsear T2 sound with good separation
Hi, hum, the one that came to my mind is FINAL AUDIO DESIGN E2000, its mid centric and imaging is great, attack is quite fast, emphasis is on mid bass not on sub bass like the E3000. Just slightly bright, less bright than Einsear T2 and less trebly but with plenty of details. I was searching in my sub-50$ mind….dont know price range your looking for. Alpha Delta D6 is a little more expensive but even more mids and highs emphased and bass have little more body. For rock, both are excellent.
Thank you. I would try your recommendation :D. You’re so nice, have a nice day.
I’m between ibasso it01s and Moondrop KXXS, since the kanas pro have been replaced by them. I feel like I trust the ibasso brand more, and I like the cable better. Are the Moondrop worth the risk over the iBasso? Thank you in advance
yeah, i don’t like this behavior from Moondrop as well…i can’t buy the crescent because it do not exist anymore so its sad. What type of sound do you search? Harman target type? What music style you listen too? In sub-200$ market their plenty of choice. For bass i’ll go IKKO OH1 and for mids and detailed timbre i’ll go BQEYZ Spring1. But I can only suggest what I hear, wich explain why i can’t tell about IT01s and KXXXs as i dont listen to them. I have IT01 and i’m not a big fan either.
Harman target seems nice, I listen to a lot of different genres, rock, metal, prog staff, classical, jazz, some more electronic things, and I’m also kind of a critical listener since I’m a musician as well. I like to observe things in music, so I guess something balanced with the right emphasis here and there and good build since I’m constantly on the move. I’ll look into your suggestions. Thank you very much 🙂 🙂
What IEM(s) would you recommend under $50 that have the most neutral sound signature without the boost of any frequencies. I am looking for similar sound to HD600, HD599.
probably Tin T2
Hello! I like Audio-Technika M40X and Focal Listen sound, what do you recommend me in similar? Now Im looking for ibasso it01s, final-audio e4000, dunu focal-c, rha t20i and TinAudio T2..
My music: Massive Attack (Angel, Teardrop..), Max Richter – Recomposed Vivaldi Album, Hans Zimmer and etc.
Thanks!
Hello….hum, from the music you listen (great music by the way), I would say Audiosense T800 or FIIO FH7 (forr best sub-500$ choice), IKKO OH10 or OH1 for best sub-200$ choice, Moondrop Starfield for best sub-150$ choice, BQEYZ KB100, Final Audio E3000 or Tin Hifi T2+ for best sub-100$ choice and KBear KB04, Blon BL03, Final Audio E1000 for best 50$ choice.
Hi. I have ikko oh1 for over a year I am satisfied with the sound quality they present but I am looking for something with even more detailed sound. I want micro-details in music. What would you recommend up to $ 150?
Up to $ 200 upgrade to ikko oh1. The earbuds are also part of the game. I am waiting for proposals 🙂
Hi . I apologize for my English right away. I have ikko oh1. I am satisfied with the quality of the sound they present. I listen mainly to edm, rap, rock, lofi, mainly electronic music, I listen to a bit of everything 🙂 I’m looking for something with even more detailed sound. I want to hear micro-details in music. What would you recommend up to $ 200?
BQEYZ Spring2. Very generous in micro-details due to piezo driver, but bassy with fowards vocal too. For more impressions you can read my review about it! FIIO FH3 is another contender but less bassy and fun than Spring2 with thinner timbre.
I did enjoy the KZ KSN Pro X but the treble are a bit too much?
Where do I go from there for $50 or less?
I think you can go Senfer DT6 for big holographic soundstage, Tanchjim TANYA for natural bassy laid back musicality or HZsound Mirror for end gam reference neutral sound…or BQEYZ KC2 for lush vocal with thumpy bass…lot of choices!
Hi, i’m eyeing HZ mirror, but i wonder if it can pair well with my dongle cx31993. Have u got that dongle? Could u give me some advice?
I haven’t test this dongle…but 65mw@32ohm is a decent amount of power. Still, HZM will scale up with more powerful and higher-end stuffs, i suggest a minimum of 300mw@32ohm. But im able to enjoy them with Tempotec HD PRO which isnt very powerfull. You can’t go wrong with HZM because it will follow you in your audiophile evolution for years to come.
ya, but i heard that hzm is neutral bright, don’t know if it can get along well with a dongle that is also neutral bright like this one
HZM like clean source too (cause of it’s revealing nature)….but for some extra bass ES9280C dongle is good. Perhaps going FIIO BTR5 or Audirect BEAM SE or ATOM2 would be a better bet, they are pair well with the HZM and haven’t rolled off sub bass like Tempotec HD PRO.
I’m looking for two iems under 200: a pop music specialist as at least half of my library is made of pop music, and a king of versatility to handle classical, rock, metal, and other genres. Therefore, I’m on the fence beween i3 pro/oh10 for the pop specialist and yuan li/aria for the versatility.
You do your homework well mate…I3Pro and Yuan Li have similar tonality which do great for Pop music. OH10 is the king of versatility and will handle rock, metal, classical beautifully. You can’t go wrong with any of the choice you made.
Hey I currently have the Hz HM thinking to get the i3 pro for 145$ as an upgrade do you think it’s worth it
Yes i think its worth it, especially if you feel HZM is lacking some bass slam. Mids are more impressive with I3Pro too. I3Pro is warmer and very different, so it will be a good complement.
Can you compare the finale e1000 with the hz mirror? Which would work better with the cx31993 dac…Will the mirror bother the ear because it’s too bright?
Mirror is brighter-sharper more analytical with faster more controled attack, better resolution, cleaner background, better imaging. Timbre of Mirror is thinner and less natural than e1000, bass is lighter (but clearer and better separated and more extended). Vocal wise, E1000 is lusher fuller.
hi, i have been using hzm for 1 and half year. im looking for upgrade. i saw the comment already and found i3pro is a good upgrade from hzm. but sadly here i3pro are about 180$, is it overprice? or its worth for the upgrade?
also how about moondrop aria? is it a good upgrade from hzm? aria are about 80$ here
sorry mate, didnt see this comment. Aria is a good sidegrade, in the sens tonality is notably smoother and timbre a bit more natural, yet not that much lusher either…bass is biggest diff, its more sub bass boosted. so, if you wanna more laid back HZM its kinda this.
for proper HZM upgrade, i would suggest Tinhifi P1plus. Even if bass is even less rumble and deeply extended treble is faster in attack and more holographic. P1plus are absurdly underatted imo (i own 6 planar IEMs)….
other choice in sub-100$ margin would be….hum…in fact, HZM is sub-150$ technical king to my ears so. Oh, and i3pro is less well balanced and bass is a bit sloppy…its good but another sidegrade imo, I prefer Aria.
Perhaps goin Kinera Idun Golden 2.0 would be a wise bet, less edge W shape with fuller timbre and less agressive treble. Yep, good bet
Which IEM could you suggest me under 200$ that keeps the tonal balance of Tangzu Heyday but has a touch more of a vocal presence
Hi,
I am stuck in between which one to pick between IE 200 and Final A4000. Can you tell me which one is an overall winner among these two
sorry forr late answer…..A4K isnt a very good IEM….but i havent try IE200…looking at graph IE200 seem smoother and betterr balanced. A4K is quite bright and austere to listen too….
Hi,
Thanks for your reply and sorry I didn’t get the notification. You say A4K isn’t a good IEM, but you gave very good ratings for it and said it’s better than KATO. I am just looking for an IEM below 150$ with the best resolution, details, and soundstage and I should be able to drive that easily. I am not a bass head. Can you give me any recommendations. I can even take A3000 if it’s better in terms of musicality.
Thanks.
