Fiio FH3 + UTWS3 = good enough?

IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)

That’s a lot of information I wasn’t ready for :smiley:.

It’s interesting that there isn’t a good all-rounder for $150.

@nymz
TBH I don’t know what sound preference means. Do I like to hear more bass, vocal, specific instruments - something like that?

  • Tanchjim Tanya - Didn’t find them in EU but i did on aliexpress
  • Linsoul KZ DQ6 3DD - I’ve found them on amazon
  • Linsoul Tripowin x HBB Mele - I’ve found them on amazon

I couldn’t find Qudelix 5k in the EU anywhere except amazon but it does not deliver to Croatia.

@Rainlynd what are the mods for DQ6?

I use my FH3’s as allrounders so… I guess it depends on how picky/audiophily you are?
They’re just fine for me. Sure in some songs they perform excellent. In others they perform a bit more meh, though never bad.

Do you like prominent bass or you like that sound is balanced?
As for qudelix, there’s a shop in Poland that carries them. Mislim da se zove audioheaven ili nesto slicno :grinning:

I too wouldn’t recommend FH3 as an all arounder. Too much bass. Good for Hip-hop and electronic music, but otherwise…

I haven’t got a set myself, but the current hype on this board is the Tripowin Mele tuned by a member here. $50, but tuned to a hip-hop and rock library which can lend to a good all-arounder set.

Yeah, $150 is a weird section in the market. Maybe the new Tanchjim Hana 2021? Tuned similar to Mele, a bit more highs, but arguably “better”.

Bluetooth is down to your opinion. I don’t think the form factors for the ear-hook bluetooth stuff has made good progress yet, but I don’t look down on that kind of option.

If you don’t mind deep insertions then the Ety ER2XR might be worth checking out…a bass boosted defused field set that would be replay well with a lot of your sonic requirements :+1:

Good enough? The FH3 are great :+1:

@igor0203 I like bass but I’m not crazy about it so I would say balanced. Thank you for the store. So far I’m not finding actual store but some ebay-like sites that apparently have them in stock.

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Looks like Qudelix is really hard to get in EU. If BT isn’t a must, then get Apple dongle DAC, should be around 10eur and it’s a great investment in the start.
If you do want BT, then another option is Biio BTR5 or 3, depends what you want.

As for IEMs, I would go the route @nymz suggested, you’ll get different sound profiles and you’ll be able to decide what you like the most. Perhaps you could add Moondrop Aria in your selection too.

edit: one more thing, if you decide for Mele, don’t buy it from Amazon because you’ll pay nearly 80eur for it.

@nymz What’s an “audiophile”?

25

Someone who gets into heated discussion over different opinion on forum how something sounds and throws a chair in monitor to prove that he’s right. Oh and he must EQ his headphones otherwise they sound like shit

@igor0203 Thank for the suggestion. Got any store recommendations?

Pozdrav! :smiley:

There are “audiophile” people here who didn’t realize that an equalizer was needed for IEMs, otherwise a $ 700 headset would sound like a $ 7 headset!

Lq9

Buy Traillii and EQ it to Harman target :rofl:

For DQ6, Tanya I’d go for AmazonDE since it’s not that much more expensive than aliexpress. For Mele you only have one option tho, Linsoul.
