IEMADV Sound M5TWS CommentsSounds similar to Airpods Pro but with less resolution. Easy on the ears but quite smoothed over and dark. Bias Score4.0

IEMADV Sound Turbo CommentsV-shaped with more of an emphasis on technical performance; however, tonality doesn't seem quite right. Bias Score5.0

IEMAME Mousa CommentsBig sound with less great execution. Warm and colored but not quite in the right ways. Bias Score5.0 Review Linkhttps://headphones.com/blogs/features/canjam-socal-2024-precogs-show-report?_pos=14&_sid=1e66d2640&_ss=r

IEMAPX Audio ME CommentsMostly decent but the treble is excessively bright past 15kHz and gives me a headache. Bias Score6.0

IEMAroma Audio Wei Fan CommentsU-shaped with extra mid-bass. Strong focus on upper-treble leads to feathery tactilty, but quite dynamic sounding and detailed. Bias Score6.0

IEMAstell & Kern Novus CommentsColored and unconventionally tuned, in a good way, with top-tier technical performance. Bias Score8.0 Review Linkhttps://headphones.com/blogs/features/canjam-nyc-2024-precogs-show-report?_pos=2&_psq=nyc&_psid=fbad808c4&_ss=e

IEMCampfire Audio Cascara CommentsVery mid-bassy, upper-mids are recessed, and rolls off of 10kHz. Bias Score3.0

IEMCampfire Audio Ponderosa CommentsMore muffled sounding than the Cascara and with even less treble energy (this perception possibly just owing to more bass). Bias Score2.0

IEMLETSHUOER DZ4 CommentsDD IEM with a technical focus due to an extra dash of upper-midrange presence and less bass than most single DDs. Bias Score5.0

IEMLime Ears Aether CommentsThin, reference sound with a slight lack of trebel extension and average imaging. Bias Score5.0

IEMLinsoul Avant CommentsMidrange is scooped from 1-3kHz and a bit too dark sounding past 15kHz. Good midrange detail but not much else. Bias Score5.0

IEMMoondrop Aria 2 Commentscan't remember what I heard Bias Score5.0

IEMMoondrop Chu 2 CommentsSounds pretty close to Harman minus the bass response. Bias Score4.0

IEMMoondrop Dark Saber CommentsBasically the Moondrop S8 with a dynamic driver for the bass. Bias Score7.0

IEMMoondrop LAN CommentsForward lower-treble and somewhat harsh sounding. Bias Score4.0

IEMMoondrop Quarks 2 Commentscan't remember what I heard

IEMMoondrop Rays CommentsMore expensive, slightly worse Moondrop May based on memory. Bias Score5.5

IEMMoondrop Silicon CommentsExemplifies my critiques of JM1 to a T. Very safe listen and sounds like the midrange and treble are a bit clouded over. Bias Score5.0

IEMMoondrop Starfield II Commentscan't remember what I heard Bias Score4.0

IEMNiceHCK NX8 Ti CommentsWell-rounded, slightly more U-shaped listen. Bouncy sounding bass and treble characterized by strong linearity and crispness up until 15kHz. Bias Score6.5

IEMNiceHCK x Mysticraft Dragonforged CommentsSounds like a warmer version of the Mysticraft Hex. Dense and rumbly bass, thicker and more corect midrange, effortlessly extended treble. Bias Score8.0

IEMNight Oblivion Butastur CommentsLots of forwardness and resolution, bass is surprisingly weak. Pretty decent set for a quick listen but can be fatiguing. Bias Score6.0

IEMNightjar Singularity CommentsSounds reminiscent of a normal single DD IEM to me, just with slightly above average bass. Bias Score5.5

IEMNoble Audio Khan CommentsSolid tonal balance and technicalities. Piezo tweeter sounds too distinct. Bias Score6.0

IEMNoble Audio Kronos CommentsLean sound signature with an aggressive pinna rise and mid-treble spike to create a high-clarity sound. Bias Score6.0

IEMNoble Audio Kublia Khan CommentsSomewhat wonky tonality, but expansive staging and solid detail. Bias Score5.0

IEMNoble Audio Zephyr CommentsNo extension over 10kHz. Dark and muddied. Bias Score3.0

IEMNostalgia Audio Pendragon CommentsBass sounds slightly boomy and cheap, warmer vocals, and lacking some air past 15kHz. The $3K Lord of Logres cable can't save this. Bias Score5.0

IEMOne Dot Audio Leviathan CommentsSmall center image and vocal placement perceptually, but nice treble response with good air and vibrancy. Bias Score5.5

IEMOoopus OP.22 CommentsBassy and dark sounding on the second mode. Treble is a bit choppy sounding and lacks refinement generally. Bias Score3.5

IEMTraillii Ultra Bias Score6.0

IEMPenon Rival CommentsA bit QDC-esque with the tuning but with more aggressive pinna rise and better bass. Treble a little too scooped in the mid-treble. Bias Score6.5

IEMPMG Audio APX SE CommentsClarity focused sound with elevated 1-3kHz region and excessive treble energy. Fatiguing to hear. Bias Score6.0 Review Linkhttps://headphones.com/blogs/features/canjam-socal-2024-precogs-show-report?_pos=14&_sid=1e66d2640&_ss=r

IEMPrisma Audio Lux CommentsA more U-shaped version of the Lumen. Great bouncy bass and well-controlled airiness. Bias Score7.0

IEMPunch Audio Martilo Bias Score5.5

IEMQDC 8 Pro Bias Score6.0

IEMqdc 8SE CommentsFairly safe tuning but lacks a lot of technicalities. Bias Score4.0

IEMqdc 8SS CommentsCompetent all-rounder that makes few mistakes outside of the poor timbre. 6kHz recession facilitates louder listening. Bias Score6.0

IEMqdc Anole V6 CommentsFantastic tonality - sounds like an SA6 with better treble extension. Just very well-rounded overall. Bias Score7.0

IEMqdc Emperor CommentsSolid resolution but tuning has issues. Bias Score6.0 Review Linkhttps://headphones.com/blogs/features/canjam-nyc-2024-precogs-show-report?_pos=2&_psq=nyc&_psid=fbad808c4&_ss=e

IEMqdc Gemini CommentsNeutral warm tuning but sounds oddly clinical, perhaps due to hollow sub-bass. Bias Score6.0

IEMQuill Acoustics Karma CommentsL-shaped listen with a smooth sound. Bombastic bass that's missing some texture. Bias Score6.0

IEMSamsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro Commentscan't remember what I heard

IEMSeeAudio Anou CommentsUpper-midrange is wince inducing. Bias Score3.0

IEMSeeAudio Neko CommentsSounds like all the other SeeAudio IEMs lol, save money and buy the Bravery if you like this sound Bias Score5.0

IEMSeeAudio Neko JP CommentsSomewhat odd sounding but nothing really inoffensive and certainly more warm and exciting than some of SeeAudio's other IEMs. Bias Score5.0

IEMSeeAudio Yume Ultra CommentsImproved bass and treble extension over original Yume but still sounds very boring and compressed. Bias Score5.0

IEMSoftears Turii Ti Bias Score5.5

IEMSoftears Twilight CommentsDecently tuned single-DD IEM with a more technical focus. Bias Score6.0

IEMSony IER-M7 CommentsSounds like the IER-M9 just with less treble extension. Bias Score6.0

IEMSymphonium Audio Meteor CommentsFantastic BA bass with a strong U-shape coloration. Bias Score6.0

IEMSymphonium Titan Bias Score6.0

IEMThieAudio Hype 4 CommentsSounds very similar to the Hype 2 with some more sub-bass which makes it sound less artificial. Bias Score6.5 Review Linkhttps://headphones.com/blogs/features/canjam-nyc-2024-precogs-show-report?_pos=2&_psq=nyc&_psid=fbad808c4&_ss=e

IEMThieAudio Prestige LTD Bias Score6.0

IEMTruthEars Pure CommentsVery boring and dark albeit safe. Bias Score5.0

IEMUE Reference Remastered CommentsUnorthodox, but well-done tuning with a vocal focus. Treble has excellent extension and is reminiscent of the tia driver implementations. Bias Score6.0

IEMUnique Melody FuSang CommentsAndromeda-esque sound signature without the technicalities to back it up. Bias Score6.0

IEMUnique Melody MEST Indigo CommentsBasically a more bass-heavy MEST MKII with some slight setbacks in treble extension. Bias Score7.0

IEMUnique Melody MEST MKIII CommentsBasically sounds very similar to the Indigo version. Bias Score7.0

IEMUnique Melody Multiverse Mentor CommentsA departure from UM's house sound for a more conventional, upper-midrange heavy presentation and strong clarity. Bias Score6.0

IEMUnique Melody Pentara Bias Score6.0

IEMVision Ears EXT CommentsWarm and inviting sound signature with good extension on both ends; however, mid-treble is slightly aggressive. Bias Score6.0

IEMVision Ears EXT MKII CommentsRidiculously bright, sounds the same as the EXT MKI except with even more upper-treble. Bias Score6.0 Review Linkhttps://headphones.com/blogs/features/canjam-socal-2024-precogs-show-report?_pos=14&_sid=1e66d2640&_ss=r

IEMVison Ears Phonix Final Edition CommentsWarm listen, mid-bass focused, with good extension up top. Pleasant but the techs don't impress that much. Bias Score6.0

IEMVision Ears Phonix CommentsEssentially an Erlkonig on Setting 3 with more treble extension. Bias Score7.0

IEMVision Ears VE10 CommentsSounds like a VE8 with a DD jammed into the mix. Treble sounds pretty decent on second listen, retune? Bias Score6.0

IEMVOLK Audio Stella Bias Score6.0

IEMWestone W80 CommentsMediocre. Bias Score3.0

IEMXenns Tea Pro CommentsVery pleasant tuning with thumpy bass albeit lacking wow factor in techs. Bias Score7.0

IEMXenns Tea Pro SE CommentsExcellent rendition of slightly musical sound that builds off the Tea Pro with slightly better treble extension. Bias Score7.0

IEMZiigaat Horizon CommentsDecent tuning but too airy past 15kHz leads to some timbre weightlessness and masking detail. Bias Score5.5

IEMZiigaat Lush CommentsDark and slow-sounding with a slight mid-treble peak. Competes with the Aful Explorer for the 'sleepy' award. Bias Score4.0

IEMZiigaat Thunder CommentsA bit muddy sounding in the bass, on the more L-shape side with slightly better clarity than the Lush due to more treble. Bias Score4.0

IEMZiigaat Odyssey 2 CommentsA bit too gritty and aggressive for my preferences. Bass has better focus/weight than Horizon though and big sound. Bias Score5.5
