March ieMADNESS

I’ve got a drawer full of IEMs to review. I thought we’d turn it into a tournament. How about some March ieMadness? I made a bracket that you can fill out, and if you can guess my totally subjective winners, you get your choice of IEM competitors (two exclusions of the more expensive items).

Here’s a link to the form with more details and the bracket: [https://forms.gle/V9bndic7rP3YqjM59]

Please share!

What a fun idea! Filling things out, is the Thieaudio V3 the Voyager 3 or Legacy 3?

Assuming the BL05 is not the BL05s?

Also assuming the Vk4 is the original tuning (not QDC connectors on shell)?

Thanks!

Voyager 3, not sure with the BL05, bought it used a while ago, so probably the original. The QKZ, I’m not even sure. I have no recollection of buying it, and it’s not in my amazon history, so I’m not sure. Here’s photos (if that helps)

The box for the VK4 shows the old connectors even if it’s the new connectors and tuning unfortunately, but if you bought it a while back, it’s probably the original. I ask because the OG VK4 graphs very similarly to the CRA, but the new one sure doesn’t!

Seems like the original BL05 too, which was tuned quite differently to the BL05s.

Thanks for setting this up and taking the time to answer. I’ll have something submitted soon. :slight_smile:

EDIT: Submitted, thanks again for creating this for folks. Subbed on YT too.

@MrAyrit that’s a really cool idea.
Would it be fair to ask you your sound signature preference?

Sure. I like warm / neutral. I mostly listen to folk and classic rock. Good vocals are a must for me.

That’s correct OG BL-05
