What IEMs are considered the best around $70ish or less? Seems to be a rapidly evolving category
There are a looot of options. Some of the well-received chifi options:
- Moondrop Aria
- Tin HiFi T3
- FiiO FD1
Can you tell us your preference / library, so we can help you better?
T3 plus
I think the top choice or easy recommendation are:
Neutral= aria
Warm/fun = tin t3 plus
Would love to know other alternatives
TinHiFi T3 Plus is $69 USD. It fits the <$70 like a glove.
For a little more, there is the DUNU Titan S, which is good for the mature bass-shy listener. The industrial looks may be a turnoff to some.
Electronic, Jazz, Pop, Classical
Looking for good low end extension and treble that isn’t too hot
If you can extend it to 100, Olina.
If you can extend it to 80, Titan S.
If you can’t extend and can slightly EQ, CCA CRA.
If you live in the US and don’t mind the fit, Etymotics go for cheap there.

And the HZ Heart Mirror should be another decent budget.
Eletronic and Pop, might not suit it, that’s why I left it out. Unless tape vent
TFZ live 3 maybe (lot of low end I ended up tip swapping to tame it a bit)
Sounds like t3 plus would be a good fit
Cca cra is very V, so there’s might be too much bass & treble for u, but it’s very cheap so might worth a try.
CCA CRA “Brings out the brass instruments up front and in your face like the curse of sergio.”
The Crin x KZ collab is great for the price looking at the HBB x KZ collab…
I’m surprised the Mele hasn’t been presented yet. For 50 bucks, you get a great non fatiguing sound
Totally forgot about Mele
I think because of it’s bassy nature, it didn’t come to mind for recommendation, unless the requirement is lots of bass
The reason I didn’t mentioned Mele is because I’ve never heard T3+. Between the two, I have no idea.
But CRA + EQ cost 15$
