If were you I would not go for expensive earbuds immediately - flathead earbuds have way less bass than IEMs, I am not sure if they are sufficient in bass region for your tastes. In my opinion Yincrow X6 seems to be a great option for you. It has satisfying SQ for the price, in particular quite...

While MEMS driver are very probable thing, my bet is on more affordable AMT based IEMs. Just like planar IEMs were expensive and then cheaper sets appeared, I expect some cheaper alternatives for Goldplanar GLAMT16 in 2023. I also find it very likely that we will see some competition for...

It looks like RTINGS' Noise Handling link is something that may help you. I do not know how well this test transfers into practice. I also recommend YT channel El Jefe Reviews where in every TWS/wireless headphones review there are examples of call quality with simulated crowd noise.

Sometimes a little bit of imperfection is more enjoyable for us humans than "too perfect" alternative. A little bit like in music. Even in ( very broadely defined) classical music, where the beautiful and consonant sound was what people were looking for, composers were spicing things up with...

According to the measurments done by woodenears.com, Final UX3000 has better ANC than (final's cheaper subbrand's) AG WHP01K.

Hifigo adds photos with nozzle measurments, not for all IEMs though.

@Precogvision Have you ever tried to use your data analysis skills to compare the FR graphs of IEMs and the scores from your ranking list?

I am definetely not the biggest TWS expert out there, but here are my best guesses what happens: all of your units were from a single defective batch/ batches that all were defective problems with the right bud might be caused by how usually TWS buds work (not sure if Momentum 3 work that way)...

To clarify, I based my opinion on my experience with IEMs within below $150 budget, since this is the price range I have by far the most experience with. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of experience with IEMs exceeding this budget. Would not be surprised if my observations would no longer...

One thing can not be denied, Campfire Audio is the bravest IEM company with their tuning choices. Looking at the graphs, they almost never use the same way of tuning two times. Also my 2 cents to the discussion that took place on few previous pages: some IEMs are all-rounders and some are the...

Very nice comparison. Do you think it makes sense to use graphs to look for a planar that suits my tastes the best based on non-planar experience with IEMs? I mean, according to some people planars are different enough from other types of drivers that it makes it a little bit of "apples to...

Do you have similar issue with other headphones? In my case all headphones have a little lower clamping force on the right because of asymmetry of my head. If your head is not very symmetrical, it is possible that combination of factors such as the headphone losing a little bit of out-of-the-box...

I have a similar issue from time to time also with left ear (not woth female vocal though) and what is also worth noting, it happens with many different iems. I have tighter seal with my left than with right ear, so my best guess is that it is some combination of tight seal and specific...

Just my 2 cents about your dillemma - I think it is the best to choose depending on how would you use your earphones. What I mean is, if you are going to use it in "typical TWS way" like public transport, commuting, office etc. TWS' features like touch controls or anc (if a given model has it)...
