Fighting for the IEM budget

I have used Tin Audio T2 Pros and three ibeats. They have better soundstage and clarity than either. The bass is much cleaner than the ibeats and much better than the almost non-existent T2 Pro. More importantly, I don't get any of the hissing and bright sound inherent in Tin Audio, which is quite tiring when listening to the EM1. EM1s don't distort at high volumes like ibeats. Tin Audio and ibeats use very good metal chassis, which I usually prefer as it speaks of a more solid construction, but the EM1's chassis isn't tiresomely light. In short, Simgot EM1 is the obvious choice for me. Also, based on lots of user comparisons and some electronic testing, I'm pretty sure the new Tin Audio T3 didn't solve their sibilance and bass issues enough to challenge the EM1. I have a couple of new IEMs from KZ and IKKO, ZS7 and OH1. (Choose the ZS7 because it has the best bass in the entire KZ range). Later this week I will do a comparison with the ZS7, OH1 and EM1.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Some difficulties
