I get you. It's called preference. My IEM on my profile pic is 100% Anti-Harman and I prefer that over any IEM as well.

64 Audio U12t Review (IEM)
This is a review and detailed measurements of the 64 Audio U12t IEM. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $1,999. Typical of these IEMs, the U12t is a chunky unit. While comfort was fine, it made it challenging at first to measure. Included cord was a bit too short for my taste but...

Thank you.
Dip at 2-4 KHz and rise from 4KHz to 8 KHz where as Harman is the opposite. Boost at all bass frequency ranges while Harman is only boost below 100 Hz

No I m not but offering a 50 bucks Harman tuned iem against a 1000 bucks xelento . Is not fair. There Harman alone does not qualify for good quality

Neither does the $1000 price tag, that’s the point you seriously need to grasp.

You won't get far if you don't start by defining that word with something tangible.

What exactly is it that a $1000 IEM does that a $50 don’t? What’s the technology and workings behind it?
Hi
Several Chinese-made IEMs have caused quite an upveal in the IEM: They have proven you can get great to SOTA sound below $100.oo. If one is fully invested
... in ... spending $1000.oo, then, more (financial) power to her/him/they.. They have the money and the right to do whatever they want with it... What is certain, and provable: They won't get better performance. As for fitting those, less than $100.oo, IEMs in most any human ears, there exist a plethora of companies making tips that will fit those ears .. There are even companies that would fabricate tips for a fee, and for special/mutant/unusual ears anatomies ... for much less than $100.oo. .. and, if the financially capable person wants to EQ, then there exist a gizmo that cost less than $125.oo that will do it as well as , again, humanly possible...
If after all these reasonable and provable considerations, the financially-capable individual wants to spend $1000.oo for an IEM, then, there are several companies willing to get the $1000.oo and provide the financially-capable person, with an IEM measurably inferior to the $50.oo TCZ.
Peace

This kind of mindset people are the reason why badly tuned headphones are selling for astronomically high prices.
Headphones are just magnets, there's no need them to be very expensive.

They are pretty great and don’t sound like $50 at all. I was blown away when I heard them for the first time knowing their price.
I recommend you buy a pair as a reference for other IEMs you purchase.

This problem can be easily solved. @KehaDNb, since your budget 1500€ and lower, a 50 bucks TCZ won't affect your budget much, you can still continue to pursuit an expensive, favorable IEM, so it doesn't hurt to own both. If you don't like it don't use it for live performance, you can still use them for rehearsal, regular listening etc, therefore your expensive IEM can be kept safe for live performance... Why not?

Or you can buy them on Amazon, if you don’t like ‘‘em just send them back. However I just think there good to have around when comparing to other IEMs.
