IEM discussion thread (Part 1)

I currently own Yanyin canon which I love, just had the Tangzu Wa’ner arrive today to have a foray into the budget realm. These will be returned to Amazon. I think I just need to mind my business and continue to live vicariously through others

Haha yeah I don’t really bother with budget IEM sets anymore. Earbuds, on the other hand…:raised_hands::raised_hands:

I keep telling people let me do the dirty work in the budget realm, so you don’t have to.

Because this is some hella redundant (and with a ceiling, no less. Nobody is going to release a $20 set that competes with a Yume II or something. Lets be real) stuff out there. You honestly need 1 or 2 budget sets to figure out what you like and have beaters for when you don’t want to risk your nice IEMs. And then move out!

@GooberBM I gotta say you are crushing it with your work in the budget world. I really appreciate your in depth analysis on sets that don’t get as much attention from more established reviewers.

Speaking of I have had the Rosefinch in my cart for a week now and everyday I have to stop myself from pulling the trigger… Maybe one day soon I will haha

I picked up the IE600 again after being all Serratus all the time since getting them and man I forgot how good these sound! People say they are a little much in the treble but after listening to the Serratus all I hear are delicious mids and bass :yum:

I just picked up the Rosefinch for $13 on Amazon. That’s the cost of two beers. Sold!

Slams harder than the MM???

I wouldn’t say it slams harder, but maybe it’s just because the overall bass quality is far superior on the MMs so there’s depth, and proper separation from the rest of the freq. so it’s better defined … yeah, maybe it does slam harder actually now that I think of it :handshake:

This is what I’ve always said about it, when I was pushing so much about Rosefinch. If you’re US, or can get it at $15 or under, it is such a ridiculously cheap trial. Plus I wouldn’t be so into it if it was just “globs of bass that does nothing else”. They are actually tuned to listen to music, but with a fat, stinky bass shelf on it, no EQ needed.

Also, $5, $6 for a beer at a bar is stupid cheap in the US.
