As it stands, pre Can Jam, my favorite IEM of 2025 is the Campfire Audio Alien Brain!

Backordered, too. So, either APOS underestimated the appeal of these, they’re really good and selling like condoms at a drug store next to a Navy port or both!

Too bad I’m not in the market anymore for single DD in that price bracket.
Mysticraft Myth or bust!
For being a miser with the money clip, you sure have an outstanding lineup of IEMs.

Patience, patience, save and sell – that’s my policy. I wait until sales or until I find a good used model, save money and sell older gear to raise funds.
If I am using any of my money to buy new IEMs, then I have failed. Hopefully always “other people’s money” through selling gear or sports betting winnings!

After Can Jam. I posted a temp list in Head-fi, but I also made the addendum that this list would change based on Can Jam. With the sets I’ll be exposed to in less than 3 weeks, it’s best to hold off on a ranking until the inevitable ranking shuffle post CJ. lol

For me at least, it fits very comfortably, and totally outperforms its price. It’s my EDC.

Out of all the sources I got to listen to at Can Jam, this one mesmerized me the most…
Cayin Ru9. With the last of my CJ savings, I had to pick one up.
