50$ Backup IEM suggestion

Guys, Mele/Bl-03 won’t cut it for a neutral signature. They are V-Shaped.

Pure neutral I’d go Final Audio E1000. They are very easy to grab and go since they are very tiny and they come with one of the best Tips on the market (only reason I have one pair).

They have a plus. If you get bored, micropore tape it and they get bassy.

KBear Neon may be worth a look if you can do 1/BA. Tiny, sturdy, above-average isolation, neutral, cheap. They do have removable cables (tip-down QDC), but they’re well attached and you never need to remove them if you don’t want to.

x2, look at Final Audio’s E series!

E2000 will be the most neutral of the lot.

No its not.

we agree to disagree.

but in my head I meant against the 3000.


Compared to the rest (3k,4k,5k) sure. But its still not a neutral tuned iem. Bass, specifically the mid-bass is elevated a lot more than what is considered neutral.

I can’t read that FC because I’m colorblind. I see a mass of lines with similar shapes and a jumble of colors that immediately makes my brain cross it’s wires and shut down from being overwhelmed at the data and inability to compute it. :frowning:

Tin T2 Plus you can’t go wrong

Wow that’s a lot of suggestion. I’ll get through them these week-end and come-back.

In advance many thanks!

is there any particular reason you want fixed cables? that’s a real weakness for IEM’s and one of the usual death knells if it isn’t having gone through the wash, LoL!

How often have you washed an IEM?

me? a couple of times. my wife? too many to count and the number of stories I’ve seen on forums, reddit, etc of others doing this…innumerable!

…and for everything else, there’s MasterCard!

Keep your iems in little boxes I guess…
:upside_down_face:
Jk, I try not to carry iems without case most of the time, but sometimes u just gotta yolo it…

You’ve got your suggestions bruv. All the best and enjoy your iems!!

Yeah, i think that it one less point to fail when they get stuffed in a bag and one thing less you can loose.

But maybe I’m wrong and some IEM connector are really good.

I think you should go for this: Etymotic Research ER2SE

I second the Final E1000. I have the 2000 and it’s tiny, light, comfortable, and the tips are great. No brainer

Just decided to get the E1000. I think they fit well what I was looking for and the 90° jack is a really nice addition.

Thanks you all for the support.
