Harman tuned UIEM for roundabout 1500 Euro or less

[F1308]

In today's market there is no way to justify a 1500usd IEM. Not sure 300 can be justified even.

And, having hd800s, I am not opposed to pricy headphones

I mean it has to be better than xelento from Beyerdynamic technically

TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero IEM Review

This is a review, listening tests and measurements of the Truthear Crinacle Zero IEM review. It was sent to me by @crinacle as he has been a consultant on the project. It costs US $50. I like that it has a bit of "bling" but not too much. The cord is just the right length for me (many IEMs...

It’s for sure not on per the xelento

It's objectively better than Xelento

Yea tuning but that’s not everything

You'd be surprised.

Anyway, try the MD line: $500 Variations, $350 Dusk or $180 Kato. Dusk and Variations are very similar, Kato has more mid bass (it doesn't follow the Harman scoop). They should all sound somewhat similar, I'd then go for the most comfotable set.

For sale...

A pair of TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero IEM.

Great performance as per famous reviewer Amir, on behalf of AudioScienceReview, who said "Think of it as the tuning fork that a musician uses! This IEM needs to be in your arsenal."

The starting price is US $15000 each.

Taxes and delivery not included.

The cost of R&D, production and materials are substantially less in mainland China, and they've been doing IEMs for years now. If I worked for a European brand I would find it unfair, for sure. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/list-of-chinese-iem-manufacturers.23687/

And as a dusk and Kato owner, for fit and comfort there is no contest (in my ears anyway) . The dusk fit my ear great and stay in. The Kato are angular, heavy and won't keep a seal regardless of tip and insertion.

Others mileage may of course vary.

Do you really think something has to be expensive to be good ?

 

[OnLyTNT]

I think for live performance fit, seal and durability is more important than tuning. The problem is I don't see any valuable test and data other than tuning, even for expensive IEM, there is no statistic such as failure rate etc.. as far as I know. Fit can't be measured anyway... But, I know some people use afordable IEM for live performance, even some use KZ.

@gallionetech Owns multiple kilobuck headphones (Dan Clark Expanse, Dan Clark Stealth, and HIFIMAN HE1000 V2 iirc), and his preferred harman-tuned iem is the Blessing 2 Dusk iirc.

Yes, can highly recommend them for the price. I use my u12t's more but there def not harman-tuned. There more neutral with a base boost.

Yea, i find myself using the u12ts whenever I want to use an IEM now. However there almost 7 times the price of the Dusks and aren't harman tuned
