Current moment in time, ranking for preference not objective factors, only including the ones that I have in my possession (I don’t remember others well enough).
-
QKZ VK4 - My mainstay, has been for a long time, gets more time than even my circumaural headphones purely on the basis of sound. Amazing bass and overall tuning, technicalities allegedly not great but somehow that doesn’t keep me from enjoying the music.
-
Moondrop Starfield - when I want something a little more natural and relaxed, but still really enjoyable. Also very comfortable in bed.
-
KZ ZS10 Pro - More aggressive V-shaped signature, good when on-the-go in noisier environments.
-
Sony MH755 - I don’t use these much, but appreciate their price to performance ratio.
-
ThieAudio Legacy 4 - I can understand why some people would enjoy these, I don’t
-
Blon BL01 - If my ears were shaped differently I might like these when I want something on the warm side
-
Campfire Audio Andromeda 2019 edition - I occasionally pull these out because my mind tells me kilobuck IEMs should sound amazing, then they quickly go back in storage when I remember that I just don’t like the tuning. I should work harder on selling them because I know some people like the tuning.
-
KZ ZST - my first Chifi IEM, not good enough to listen to, not valuable enough to sell, not big enough to throw out.
