Need recommendation for 100$-300$ IEM

IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)

I have actually heard the spring1, it was alright, but nothing jumped out to me. I do think the treble was it’s weakest point but I can see that being w shaped in a way

36

For that price range, that may be as W-ish as you can get, lol.

37

That’s a pretty sweet iem, very nice (but out of budget I assume lol)

I forgot the DUNU even existed I was actually looking at those a while ago

I was actually wondering about some chifi with variable tuning dip switches if you could create a W that way?

Agreed. I’ve had success with Dunu as I’ve never had a build quality issue and they almost always have good soundstage for an iem.

41

these are 800$ did you mean the 3001’s?

42

I almost bought a pair open box for $350. But the Dunu DK-3001 and DK-3001 Pro can be had much cheaper, but the 3001 is a lesser extreme W compared to the 4001.

the fiio fh 5 or fh 7 havea mild W shape but seem to be mostly v shaped

I can recommend the Dunu Titan 3 and 5 if anybody wants a well built and semi affordable IEM. The titan 3 are really bright, but I tolerated them really well. The titan 5 are more v shaped. They take to tip changes well too.

46

The Fearless Audio S5 Turbo is another W shaped IEM, but I have no idea what they are currently priced at…

47

300 ish I think?

48

If so that is a steal. They sounded really good to my buddy Steve…enough so that he bought them and he HATES IEMs.

Shit, I may have to buy these, lol.

For the sound and fullness that it seems like you’re looking for, you’re probably going to have to bust into the $500 Range

Stop wasting your time and hard earned cash chasing something that’s marginally better than the next best $150 thing in budget-fi. Come join our team, we have cookies!

However, if you’re looking to move on from the FH7, Andromedas are probably the next “big” step.

I really love my obravo cupids and meze rai solos, both under your budget and imo hit above their price point. I don’t think either are w shaped tho. Something you can look into atleast.

I wish more people would check out the solos, I need to check that I’m not crazy for thinking they sound so good lol

I actually just tried the solos and they were fairly meh to me. I do enjoy my penta but I wouldn’t pay asking for them for sure. Not a massive iem guy though. The fit and finish on the solo for the price was very nice though. I would need more time with them
