I attended CanJam Singapore 2022 last Saturday and tried some IEMs. Just want to share some IEMs that to my ears sound really good during the short period of testing. Didn't manage to test all brands and models as there are too many of them, but from what I've tried the following IEMs worth a listen when you have the chance.
In alphabetical order:
BGVP DM8 - More or less balanced with a slight warm tuning, very nice mids, super engaging.
Elysian DIVA - Impressive tuning with 3 level tunable bass level. the medium level of the bass setting sounds good for me. Balanced (I guess close to Harman Target) with good clarity, transparency, spaciousness and 3D holographic imaging.
Moondrop Variation - Balanced with mild V shape tuning, pretty close to my neutral target, good dynamic and perceived detail, very engaging.
Moondrop Illumination - Neutral tuning with lean but sufficient bass.
SeeAudio Kaguya - Pretty close to my perceived neutral target tuning, very impressive detail, instrument separation, and 3D holographic spaciousness.
SeeAudio Neo - slightly warmer with more midbass than Kaguya.
Symphonium Triton - Relatively balanced tuning, slightly warm, engaging mids and bass. Silky smooth yet extended treble. Very well tuned.
Tanchjim Ola - Surprisingly very good sounding budget IEM (~ $40), close to my perceived neutral tuning, very good perceived detail and clarity. At this price, a must try (or have). But fitting might be tricky for some, not the best ergonomic. This is the only IEM I bought from CanJam Sgp. 2022 because I curious to see how it measures on my measurement equipment.
Please take the above short impressions with (lots of) grain of salt. It was not easy to get accurate impressions of an IEM in such places like exhibitions with only like 10-20 mins of listening time per IEM. Hopefully one day I can have a second or third listen of those models.
