Looking for IEM recommendations ($100–200)

Looking for IEM recommendations ($100–200)

Music: mostly EDM
Sound preference: bright / treble-focused, good detail and sparkle
Bass: want it present but not overpowering

Fit is important — smaller ears, prefer shallow/comfortable fit

Currently considering: Moondrop, Letshuoer, Tin HiFi
Open to suggestions — thanks!

You’re making a unique request, friend: You’re an EDM enthusiast more concerned with treble than bass. :slight_smile:

Melody Wings Jupiter. $75. Will save you some money. You’ll probably need to buy a cable since the Jupiter only comes with a cable with a USB-C connector. Great imaging, solid, linear bass, nice treble extension. The best sub-$100 set I’ve heard.

DITA Prelude another option, around $160. Great build, comes with a DAC dongle. The first true budget model from a high-end manufacturer. Solid bass, good detail and sparkle. Not a lot of note weight for EDM, though.

Kiwi Ears Aether is a very nice planar at $175. But it’s a chunky boy and may give you fit issues.

Hearing and reading RAVES about the new Tansio Mirai Onyx, which is $159. I have not heard it, but many who have say it’s among the best they’ve heard under $200.

Simgot EA1000. I think it fits everything you mentioned. I have about twenty IEMs and it’s one of my favorites. I’d be fine if it was the only IEM I owned as I don’t really notice any flaws with it.

One of my favorite IEM’s today is Sivga SM100. They’d replace all earphones if i wasn’t so hobby addicted :slight_smile: If you achieve good sealing and find proper tips, they can become an endgame IEM.

I was going to say, their music preference sounds like a good planar would deliver

Big fan of meze alba for small ear folks. Very balanced sound treble can take a back seat depending on tips used.

Sennheiser IE600 (used) maybe? Or just save a little longer :slight_smile:
