Dude, I'm in love with you! Couple hours ago I bought a 3$ KZ 3-sized foam eartips set from AE (BF sale) and you just confirmed me that it was the cheaper, wiser and most returning upgrade, over a new pair of iems! This channel is a hidden gem! You deserve AL LEAST 100k subs!
Eartips are definitely a game changer! I have a few different sets myself, and at times I grab a different one just to hear the difference in sound, and it opens up a lot of opportunity for slight tuning shifts! Fit is also very important to me for I've small ears. For example, I really do enjoy the Delci AE, but due to its shape, I'm not able to wear it for more than 2 hours per session. The EW300xHBB on the other hand, slots right into place and I can wear it the whole day without any issue.
Favorite video by far! Definitely agree with eartips being at the top of the list. I’ve also had the same experience with the Pilgrim where the stock tips weren’t the best choice. I did find the Velvets, Spinfit W1s, and the Softears UC to work on them really well for my ears.
Great video as always! Im in this hobby for almost 7 years. In my country I have the luxury to have shops can demo majority of IEMS , Dacs etc. Always try first, dont blind buy. I do recomend to get a good source/dac that suits your taste. A good source/dac can give a different sound different sound signature. ESS dacs = brings out dry sharp fast details. AKM dacs = brings out a smooth and detail sound sig. I prefer IEM and dacs that allow me to listen for long hours. I pick AKM dacs.
Really good video! Loved the matching pics to the themes you used. Very clever and often pretty funny😅 As someone who maintains the hobby through budget sets, l find changing the tips is a huge factor! One brand in particular,Simgot , doesn't fit my ears very easily and finding the right tips to get a seal is huge with them. Thanks again for a very informative talk.
And Jay became even more trustworthy and valuable source for Audio stuff. No bs, no snake oil. I love when people don't pretend they can hear the grass growing. Hate that cable and dac/amp propaganda from delulu's who cope too much to justify their purchases. You have manufacturer like JDS Labs, someone who has done research and would directly benefit financially from selling larger line of products saying how "chips are designed to sound the same, if yours sound different it is likely faulty" and then you have the average Head-Fi'er "bRo ThiS DaC IS wARm, ThE oThER iS tOo CliNiCal". With the exception for Tube/R2R of course but those are intentionally designed to alter the sound and not just placebo driven nonsense. In the regular ones all you hear is dB differences = lower volume/higher volume, match them and they sound the same. And JDS Labs goes more indepth why A/B wouldn't work either because it has to happen in 0.2sec timeframe.
I have to say I agree with all your points of each of these ideas and applications. I just started tip rolling and wow, never knew it actually would make a difference. When i started listening to the Tea Pros I just got, my first thought was that it felt as though it was congested on busier tracks. Then, I got the Divinus Velvet Wide Bore Eartips and now it feels open and that problem is not a thing.
ear tips are fun, spent $100 on multiple ear tips and you are set. DAPs are great for portable because it's an all-in-one solution for source and amplifier. cables are cables, just don't overpay, they tune the sound a tiny bit, but mostly you get the cosmetics value (cool color and hardware). iem>tips>dap/sources>cables
Source differences are very tiny. My experience is that all in ones sound better then stacks. Tips make the biggest difference in sound and comfort. A good cable can also add comfort. It took me a while to learn not to trust one or two reviewers but only when all reviewers are positive about a product it does not suck. Most review channels are just sales channels.
Couldn't agree more, tips are a must. Just changing the size of the tips make a huge difference for me let alone switching to another type. As for DAC, I personally don't own one but I ordered the jcally jm6 pro, it should come this week. Will see how much of a difference it will make. Great video btw, as always 🫡
Would love a video on tips, explaining the difference in sound quality depending on bore size etc. and a list of tips to get for people that are looking to tip roll.
Finally, the tier list tier list. I could use some help - I got the star city 5 pro and have been very happy with it, although there is something in the treble that makes some recordings a little rough (early Nine Inch Nails). I wanted two pairs - one for studio (flat, maybe a little extra treble) and one for enjoyment (to me, a nice zero red). Originally Nova, but worried it's more like original zero blue for me and will not use foam. Maybe supermix or ke4 for the fun?
Same! Bonus: budget IEM that come with quality cable and the better tips, like does the Wan Er have the same tips as the Gate? For $10 that's a backup set and cable instead of buying just the tips
As a newbie who is getting deeper in the world of iem thanks to you, now i wanna know what brands and variants should i look out for in cables that are quality and durable and ear tips, tips and cables will be replaced overtime, great info in the price range thats quite helpful in deciding what iem to choose because there is so many good products out there that its hard to choose
XINHS, NICEHCK, DUNU, TRIPOWIN, all have solid cables. Most of the cable from any seller these days are pretty sturdy, just avoid ones that are super cheap relative to others. As for tips, you have Azla, TangZu, TRI, and any recognizable chifi brand names 👍
I can't really discern cable sound differences, but I still take one for longevity and aesthetics purposes. Sometimes the stock cable makes me worry, as I feel they are not durable enough. Recently I found out a weird thing; for Single DD IEMs I like to pair them with 4.4mm balanced cables. For hybrids, however, I like to keep them stock.
I tried different ear tips and did not hear any difference. Is the difference that small or is there something wrong with my ears and there is a difference in ear sensitivity from one person to another? Thank you for the advice and information
If you want anything over 2k just look for second hand or listings these iems are often taken very good care from their owners and they are half the price

TANGZU Xuanwu Gate ranked by you as S- tier in tuning and technicality. I believe you. It is a $650.00 IEM, can you do a video review? You keep recommending it. thanks.
Not much to talk about, it’s very clean, neutral, but still has the dynamics and not smoothed out like the Mega5est. If you want a neutral set it’s a good option
@jayyaudio I own *MEGA5-EST* it is an awesome set with Divinus Velvet tips. Everytime you mention the Xuanwu Gate, you take a shot at the MEGAFEST. You're perogative, but suspect as you have not made a review video. The Gate costs $600.00 on sale, and may well be a fantastic double S- tier set. Even on sale it is more expensive than Hisenior's instant classic IEM.
hi jays, my estrella arrived two days ago and i very like it. i mostly used the tape mod because the bass is little too big for me. if i use tapemod often, will it damage my estrella?
Thanks for pointing out how the diminishing returns are just not worth it at some point, a lot of IEM reviewers kinda gloss over the price because they got their review units in and need to shill them.
Another excellent video, thanks Jay! Which iem(s) you recommend as an upgrade from the Artti T10s with same tuning, based on what you said in the video? 🤔
I want to upgrade from my tangzu wan'er. I liked the vocals, clarity and subbass in this. I want to upgrade on better bass, good surround sound stage and better separation in the sound. My highest preference is the comfort and my budget is around 100$. Can you suggest me the best one
Cable for me did sound different,my moondrop lan cable pin broken because it was bend,try fixing it and it snap,since im really need to use earphone i use my trn mt1 cable and the sound suddenly low resolution and not smooth,even the soundstage reduce for some reason. But i wanted the og cable sound back,any cable that you have tried that change for better, please recomended
S12 2024 is a side-grade to my Supermix 4, and Estrella covers similar ground but woth less sub bass and more mid bass, which I dont think is my usual preference at all. Im not trying to go over $300 so.I think a $120-150ish Supermix 4 can be someone's endgame for sure, especially with EQ for treble tolerance at high volumes.
@jayyaudio I haven't heard the Estrella, but was judging by admittedly one comparison graph showing SM4 with a little deeper subbass but significantly less mid and upper bass
@@jayyaudio Also major thing to point out, the Estrella will be my next purchase bc its great for my music tastes and games while also being an affordable upgrade to my current IEM's. My choices were Arete, Estrella, Anvil, CKLVX D62, Odyssey and Performer 5+2. I believe Estrella wins here and after that I have to really exceed my budget by a lot to get up to the EM10.
I am guessing this depends on the particular iem and the source. I have like 8 IEMs at home, but none of them made a noticable difference with 4.4 except one - the Fiio FH3 transformed completely going from the 3.5 to 4.4. the sound stage noticeably widened, made it much more immersive for me. Obviously the volume is increased going to a 4.4 on all IEMs, so that could be a reason some people think it's better.
I really like your video. My family does not allow shopping abroad. These IEMS are which is best for metal music? Can you rank these iems? 1 to 6 Kiwi Ears Melody Truthear Hexa 7HZ Sonus Truthear Zero Red Zero Blue Sennheiser IE200.
yup, like me i don't have much to spend climbing the stairs from bottom, i just go to $1400 mest OG when they 1st released and done, hearing something like $300 just ain't my cup of tea.
Hmm priority towards endgames system.. Audiophiles IEM itself the numero uno..Then comes the tunin part Cuz my world's best m still r own made yet no others beats it currently..On tunin' 1st : types of transducers 2nd : shell shapes or design 3rd Cables, in my cases Bal only 4rd : Data nowdays vinyl, tapes or even CDs r obsolete..leaves us Data which in PCM, DSD or even DXD where's Flacs born by this..5th Then system consists of dacAmp - solid or tubes or maybe r2r..6th..Hmm sory reviewer Carry on..Peace!
I would say if they claim that cable don’t change the sound is funny, coz the material that used on cable changed on frequency of sound, you can notice for sure.. also that apply to shape of tips, and meterial that used on tips.. also mesh filter can change the sound, like my sm4 , i was so sad when i listen first my sm4 , now i used 2 mesh filter on it now it is so smooth with amazing timbre and technically legend , and using with velvet tips … loving my SM4 , i came from 500LM did modification results smooth.. i do modification if i don’t like how it plays…. Love your channel
That's just wrong... If those electrons are able to differentiate their frequency between different materials, then literally you would literally hear music almost as if you downtuned all the instruments and vocalists. Better conductivity with more expensive materials may increase volume but the construction and shielding is what would effect noise. Jay is absolutely correct, it's something to get for mostly looks and comfort. Sure, if you have garbage cable that has microphonics or noise, a cheap $20 upgrade cable will likely fix that issue. I personally bought one nicer cable with modular connection so I can use my set with 4.4 or 3.5 jacks
Things like filter, dampening material, nozzle length, and eartips actually alter the FR in measurements significantly. Because they physically affect the sonic wave. But you are now talking about the material, which won't affect the air conduction even in the slightest manners.
@@albertko1I am it doesn’t change the frequency but it does impact the quality of signal transmission due to electrical properties.. silver plated cable makes more detailed and low compare to copper cable , explain me why al these tips sound different even most of them are same design…
Of course this is outside the IEM itself. Forgot to mention buying used or trading is also a good strat, I’d place it high prior after fit & comfort
Excellent vid and I big agree tips are so important!
