Mega Budget IEM Tier List

Forgot the qkz vk4 the budget legend

As someone incredibly new to iem's and audio in general I thought the exact same regarding the Hola's (Not in those exact words, but was the same conclusion), am using the Zero's as I picked up both to test them between each other with the small truthear tips I got and absolutely love them

It’s so hard to understand because there’s no manual subtitles for model names…I literally can’t understand half the video, can’t google the models because don’t know how to spell them

This might be a stupid question.

I currently use the DT770 (80 ohms) for gaming. But when wearing for long sessions, it gets really uncomfortable. It's heavy, my ears sweat, I get itchy ears and the clamping force causes headaches. I would like to replace it with an IEM. The only purpose is for gaming (Counterstrike). Is the Truthear-Crinacle Zero a good choice? I mean, is the sound comparable to the DT770 when it comes to hearing footstep or hearing small details like someone pulling the pin on a grenade?

I have maybe 20 Iem's like Kz, Qkz, Tanchijm, Kiwi, TRN, 7hz, Tangzu and not so long ago I bough for my first time Blon Bl03 and this one kills all my Iem's and for more than week I listen only through Blon, even sleep with it. Great one, and for me very fresh even if for you people is already rusty thing. I ordered yesterday Blon x HBB 300, hope it will be good.
And I like to mention that Blon goes great on my Qudelix 5k which has bit a clean and energetic sound, but on Fiio K7 didn't sound good coz both are kind a warmish.

name outro song plzzzz

English is not my native language and I didn't understand the option very well "worth the demo", if it's worth the test, does that mean it might not be a good fit for everyone, and doesn't that make it niche?

can you review the Reecho sg-01 ?

Ending song title please🙏

What can you recommend for mixing? Tyy

Truthier zero or 7hz salnotes zero

Hello/ Hola 😅, can please do a review of the new CAA CRA and how it compares to Wan er and Hola.
Feels nice to see CRA up there in the demo, even after all these new waves of budget iems, definitely it was worth the buy as a beginner.
Wanted to know how they sound now..

Which one is better moondrop chu or 7hz salnotes zero ? I am going to use this for listening to metal songs and some casual gaming .Thank you in advance

Why not aad kz zs10 Pro

For listening music ( mainly pop ) and alongside fps gaming which on should i go ? 30 dollar

Meanwhile me using Trn mt1🗿

Which iem is best for gaming under 20 dollars? Plz reply.

He is just hyping stuff

Which one is the best iem under 20 dollars for gaming? Plz answer.

The Tinhifi C2's are absolutely amazing. I've been using them for about 2 mounts now and I'm enjoying every listen! Though I am looking for a nice upgrade now, can you suggest an iem upgrade that's under $70? Thanks 👍

huhuhuh hd800 😭

How about KZ iems?

All the iems around $20 you mentioned are blind buys.
Khan and Truthears Zero are definitly Niche.
Tin T3+ and C2 are definirely Worth the Demo.
People say Tanchjim Ola is terrible to wear, very uncomfortable, so it would be niche, because depends on the fitting.

RIP Moondrop Chu you had a good run (other than all the times the left ear fell off and shocked me when i plugged it into my laptop)

I lost my Chu today, so its time to find a replacement

I feel the same way about the chu. If anything, I really like the spring tips it comes with and those made it worth it for me.

Kinda crazy to see how much the IEM market has changed since I was last into it about a year ago.

I distinctly remember the Aria being considered a definitive "Blind Buy" option (and it being above the Titan S) while the CHU (which had just been released) was the ONLY good option under $30. Now they're considered "decent" and "mediocre," respectively.

Hey Giza!! Can you recommend some iem that is good for gaming(fps) like valorant,pubg etc, my budget is around 20-25usd.

t3+ low resolution??!? Are u kidding me?

I like this ranking system for such a diverse set of IEMs. I received the Wan'er two days ago. I instantly fell in love with it after initially listening to it and then putting it through its paces for a few hours. I agree that the Wan'er totally belongs in the Blind Buy category. I do think that the Kiwi Ears Cadenza should have been placed in the Safe category since the Cadenza is only slightly bright from 3 kHz to 4 kHz. This is not an issue unless one listens to the Cadenza at very high volume levels.

The T3+ is still relevant in 2023, you're being a bit too harsh there 😂

Your video helped me understand a lot, thanks

Will the treble be harsh and unstable?

ผมไม่นึกว่าจะพูดไทยได้ด้วย5555 ผมก็งงเลย อีกช่องแต่คนเดียวกัน ผมนึกว่าใส่เสียงทับไป

Tanchjim ola vs hbb khan vs kiwi candenza ?

Most other reviewers put first the Hola over the Waner and are in love with it, i ended up purchasing it

Lots of great stuff and well done!

Seeking for experts advice.

Not an audio expert. Need recommendation for my first IEM. I’m neither planning to get budget bass heavy punchy deep low frequency pronounced tuning IEM’s + airpods pro2 or potentially replace AP2 for pricey quality IEM’s that has jbl type of bass but more pronounced in lower freq ranging 32hz. and yees I’m a basshead. I’m not sure if someone here has owned the OG Sounpeats Sonic. That type of Bass is what I’m looking for. Thanks!

Where is the Tanchjim Zero Dsp?? WHERE IS??

Can you compare Wan’er and Khan? I mostly listen to electronic and hip hop and I like a ton of bass

huumm, did the color of your list are upside down? normally green is for good/S-tier and red for not good/bad.. i'm I wrong?

You need too make timestamps

Didn't see SSP and SSR up here...

Thank you for validating me picking TANCHJIM OLA Bass, got your ranking list saved, couldn't be more thankful it exist.

Where can I buy 7th acoustics proxima?

So many new budget dongles are coming out too.

what's the ending song?

The chu is just 7 Bucks :P (mine broke after 2 days, spring tips are being used tho)

I'm currently using CHU and might try Tangzu WAN ER later if ever my chu stops working completely, it's still going strong even when it's heavily used daily, although I had to remove the metal grills entirely when one side broke to balance out the audio. Thank you for the recommendations!

All the mentioned IEMs will be forgotten in a year just like BL03. I guarantee. Don't waste your money buying every one of them, just get a few and be happy.
