    “The Normal Castor Bass has better bass, but not by much, is just a bit more amount of and a bit more punchy, in every other stuff cadenza might be a bit better, but if you want bass, Castor Bass is better.”

Also, Hifiman Ananda Nano, but i guess it don't resemble iem :D My DACs: TRN Black Pearl, Shanling UA7, Moondrop Dawn Pro 2, Nicehck NK1 MAX, random CX31993 dongle A lot of cables (not for sound but because they look good, would use with future iem purchases, all bought on sales below 20$) A lot of eartips for tip rolling, but my favorites are TRI Clarion I'm thinking about ~~burning money~~ purchasing Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch, because I suspect I'm a bit of basshead, so if anyone have experience with it, I would be interested in your thoughts

    iems “I need a vacation from buying iems”
    For the past 5 months I already bought 9 iems and 3 dacs. I arranged the boxes from smallest to largest and here are the list: - GK Kunten (Top) - Crinear Protocol Max (dac/amp) - Kiwi Ears Cadenza - Simgot EW200 - Simgot EA500LM (from my wife) - ZiiGaat Odyssey - Punch Audio Portazo - EPZ K9 - TangZu Wan'er 2 (Bottom) Recently bought the Kefine Klean SV (Unboxing post coming right up) and Nicehck Octave (bought it to compare the protocol max since octave has the ES9039Q2M dac chip) - unboxing post to follow For now, I need to take a vacation from buying things in this hobby.

    iems “State of my collection (after 1 month)”
    It all started with the fact that I needed a pair of earphones for long editing sessions and audio recording on film sets. Then I discovered IEMs. THEN I found out about all the different signature tunings and suddenly I needed more than one pair. IEMs in the photo: - Inawaken dawn Ms - Kiwi Ears Belle - Tripowin Vivace - Moondrop Chu 2 - Tangzu Wan'er - Simgot EW300 x HBB - Letshouer S08 My favorite so far is the Letshouer S08, I have tiny ears and they fit perfectly. The Tangzu Wan'er surprised me the most, so much power packed into a budget price. I don't know if any of my other small ears people experience this but the ear hooks on literally every single one of these IEMs fit wayyy too big. The top parts that goes behind the ears kinda portrude forward (attached a photo). Overall, I'm happy with this new hobby of mine.

    iems “Not so AFUL is here”
    Been a big fan of cadenza, fingers crossed for this one! Update: Love these! I used to think cadenza has more base compared to my Simgot EA500, but these are much warmer, better overall base and definitely very nice. Although one thing, I like the cable as opposed to ton of youtubers. But the only IEM cable that I have ever found comfortable is the Tripowin Zonie, so that's what I'll be using. Even the cable with these pinches the top of my ear from behind - maybe a bit of hair dryer would help but nobody got time for that. Simply used a zonie that I had on other ones. Update 2: I noticed they sound so much sweeter with Jazz, thanks to Bernie (in the comments below), I got a nudge to listen to Jazz after a long time. Also, I guess maybe its obvious but these sound so much wider with hifi muse m4 compared to the wire 3.5mm to usb c DAC. A good clean DAC triples the value IMO

    I didn't expect to like this pair as much as I do. In fact I like it so much that I spent 2x the price of the IEM on it's cable and tips. I will accept, I do not have a lot of experience with sub $100 sets but this one is truly impressive. I've only tried the Kiwi Ears Cadenza, Simgot EW300 and Juzear Defiant below $100, and I won't say these are outright better than all those pairs, but it's tough for me to justify their prices after using this pair. It genuinely is so good that I find myself picking it up very often. Not above my Punch Audio Martilo but still, I expected it to just rot in a corner. It's such an amazingly tuned iem, I really didn't have to tweak the EQ too much to love them. At the price, they're a mindless blind buy. I bought into the hype, and I am truly impressed with how good these are. It's shocking that you can get them for as low as $5.
