Featured IEMs
7.9
Kiwi Ears Orchestra II
Compared with other Kiwi Ears sets and peers like the Astral, Mega 7, K4 or Dunu 242, Orchestra II comes across as the more refined, slightly more colored option, trading strict naturalness for extra bass punch and upper-mid energy that many listeners will find more exciting.
7.8
Juzear Harrier
Technical performance is a major strength: detail retrieval is among the best at this price, the soundstage offers above-average width with convincing depth and layering, and imaging and focus lock vocals and instruments firmly in place.
7.7
Hisenior Mega7
The Hisenior Mega7 positions itself as a higher-end evolution of the Mega line, essentially a continuation of the Mega5 EST concept but executed with branded BA drivers at around $450. The shell is small, light and very comfortable
8.1
Softears RSV MK II
The Softears RSV MK II takes the lead in the best IEMs for Gaming on IEMRanking.com

Featured IEMs
7.9
Ziigaat Horizon
Community impressions describe robust sub-bass from the dynamic driver, clean mids from the BAs, and airy treble from the planar tweeters, with multiple listeners highlighting a notably expansive soundstage.
6.8
SIMGOT EG280
On tonality and performance, the EG280 is pitched for positional accuracy and clarity—marketing materials emphasize “seamless frequency transition” and game-oriented EQ options
8.7
AFUL Dawn-X
AFUL’s house sound shows up here in its most polished form: Dawn-X is a tribrid (1DD + 8BA + 4EST + bone conduction) flagship at $1,300 that prioritizes consistent fit and execution over flash.
8.8
Fiio FX17
Tonally, the FX17 comes across as warm-neutral / mild U-shape: bass is tight and controlled rather than boosted, mids are natural with good timbre, and treble is smooth yet extended without obvious glare.

Ziigaat Odyssey 2
The ZiiGaat x Hangout.Audio Odyssey 2 is a hybrid 1DD+3BA IEM that pairs a new bio-cellulose dynamic driver with three Knowles armatures, aiming for a balanced, reference-leaning presentation.
8.1
Nicehck Rockies

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.
