Hi guys,
After finishing my $100 comparison between the Olina, Starfields, and ER2XR/SE, I thought why not make a thread where more people can give their input with other IEMs around this range that wasn’t mentioned? I figured a thread would be helpful where we can discuss the current best sets around $100 since I don’t own sets like the Titan S etc.
Please feel free to share your experiences with other IEMs around this price point! - Jay

Current pick at $100 is the Olina with the double filter mod (additional Olina filter on top of pre-existing one +stock tips). Full comparison between the Olina, Starfields, and ER2SE/XR here: 🔶 Tripowin X HBB Olina - #1524 by VIVIDICI_111

How does the additional filter on the Olina change its sound signature vs stock?

Upper mids/Lower treble gets tamed and bass shines up more. It gets more balanced and stage opens up.
Great mod!

Any chance to graph the Tanya mod yet?
Also interesting that the stage opened up for you.i felt things became more intimate. I like the Tanya mod as a good balance between the two
