I've been out of the chi-fi earphones game since the Hifiman RE0s (and the head-fi hype train surrounding them) disappointed me so much that I stopped looking at IEMs altogether for a long time.

But lately, I've jumped back onboard and bought some VE Monk earbuds (they're on their way) and am looking at IEMs again.

So what's the consensus these days if I'm looking at something similar to the KSC75 sound for IEMs? I've gone through the last 10 pages and it sounds like the Uiisii CM5s are a good pick. Anything else?

more like the KSC75 is the Tinaudio T2. similar bright signature, and airy presentation but also the same lack of (although still have better) isolation like the KSC75 and earbuds

hello friends, the Magaosi K3 Pro is a good choice for $ 70?

I would say that going with your first thought is a winner. The cm5 seems like the successor to the KSC75, at least in spirit if not in total sound signature.
It is a great sounding IEM with a consumer-friendly price. I still still feel kind of guilty for the amount of great sound I got for so little money...
There are a lot more low priced miracles these days, so the cm5 has a lot of really good competition. The twelve bucks are asking for it on Amazon makes it a no-brainer, though.

You can get it on Aliexpress too (which my understanding can slip in most countries without customs fees).

Also, I thought when something is less than a certain amount there is no customs fees? Isn't is like under $20?

The Uiisii CM5 is $19.99 plus small shipping fee on Gearbest & $23.49 with freeshipping on Banggood - seems like the best price outside of Amazon.

Yes it is 19.99 on gearbest. When i heard 11.99 i got really excited.. Thanks for the links.

@Slater : not sure about the $20 limit but i have ordered more than that from gearbest without paying any duty. I don't know how international shipping works on amazon.

That's about what I paid for their introductory price special, they're typically $99, if you are asking about the price. If you're asking about sound there are a number of reviews here. I think they sound good.

I just got mine delivered this morning. Your observations are spot on.

All aboard the CM5 hype train! Which is well deserved imo especially considering sound quality vs price. Everytime I put mine on I can't believe that I paid 8.99 usd from Amazon with free prime shipping. Gonna get another pair for 11.99, still a massive.deal!!

I really like my pair, I think they are worth that price

Magaosi K3 is much better tham Fiio F5 and Tin T2?

 

[HungryPanda]

TinAudio T2 is more neutral and I prefer it to Fiio F5

Looks like AE is having a sale on 28th Mar. Tinaudio T2 will be at a discounted price (ard the same as 11.11) TFZ King Pro is also down by ALOT too (not too sure if its worth it to take the plunge). The NiceHCK Bro and the cannot be mentioned Pro is also at an attractive price.

Anyway, after listening to the **** 4in1 with the silver cables for awhile, at high frequencies it tends to distort abit and when i changed back to the Tennmak Pro (a huge contrast considering the soundstage), the trebles were smooth. No distortions. So i am wondering if i were to up my budget to around 150, what can i get for something that is light on bass, good soundstage and seperation, smooth mids, delicate highs with GOOD ISOLATION. T2 is kinda out as it doesnt isolate well enough on commute. Any suggestions will be good, thanks!

Yes Aliexpress Anniversary sale starts in 9 days so well worth holding off if you can
