Aggregated IEM Ranking
Featured IEMs

8.5
NiceHCK Rockies

7.3
CrinEar Daybreak
The CrinEar Daybreak delivers a well-balanced sound signature tuned to the IEF Preference 2025 curve, offering natural tonality with a controlled bass boost and detailed mids.

Featured IEMs
8.6
ThieAudio Monarch MK IV
Sonically, the IMPACT² dual dynamic drivers deliver textured, powerful bass in either mode, while redesigned electrostatic drivers enable treble that extends smoothly to 40kHz without harshness
7.5
ZiiGaat Crescent
The ZiiGaat Crescent combines a dual dynamic driver setup—using PET and LCP diaphragms in an isobaric configuration—with Knowles balanced armatures for mids and treble. This hybrid approach delivers a distinct analog-inspired character, emphasizing textured bass with a 10dB sub-bass shelf that avoids midrange bloat.
7.9
Xenns Top Pro
Technically, the IEM performs strongly for its price, offering a wide soundstage and precise imaging that creates a convincing sense of space. Resolution is impressive in uncongested passages, though micro-detail retrieval falls short of higher-tier competitors.
6.1
Truthear Pure
The Truthear Pure builds on the foundation of its predecessor, the Hexa, refining the 1DD+3BA driver configuration for a more cohesive sound. It offers punchier bass and a more solid midrange compared to the Hexa, addressing previous criticisms about thinness in the lower mids.
