It's good to see Indian tech channels do IEM reviews and suggestions. Enjoyed the video! I own both the Chus and the Wan'ers, spot on description of both
@@abyzz4419bro, there's nothing like best in all categories, you should check ur priorities like if u want em for gaming or commuting(long hour sessions) or detailing or bass, there's no IEM, i mean atleast under 5k in which you could get everything you ask for😂
Truthear hola is the all-rounder. It has wide sound, it has a bit of warmth, but still fairly neutral. It's superb comfortable, very lightweight and does have many accessories with a good cable.
I'm a product designer and while working on a personalized equalizer app we found while user testing that out of 50, nearly just 2 people prefer listening balanced tuning on majority of genres and 7 people preferred to choose balanced tuning with a particular genre. I'm definitely agree on the point that sound is completely preference based.
Yeah, when people are asked to compare products with different sound signatures, they'll definitely prefer more V shaped ones as that's what they're trying to hear for. But I think that if you give them time with different signatures, as in, weeks or months, and they test different sound signatures, they will see the positives of the more balanced sound.
@TechReflex What I found from our research was sound their preferred sound signature changes based on their moods, location, comfort & external noise. No consistent results, bt yes with particularly EDM, Dance and HipHop music people are a bit inclined towards V & U shaped signature.
@@BijayRanjanPati this is the most logical and truthful statement and study I heard regarding this topic, others often oversimplify it but even I find myself enjoying different type of audio on different earphones. Also, first impressions make alot of difference as well. I seem to enjoy Rs.4000 IEMs more than Rs.16000 IEMs 😂
Good video and crisp, to the point notes on the IEMs. I'd like to add that putting on the Final Type-E ear tips on the Moondrop Quarks DSP helps it shine a lot more. It's my first favorite on this list. The Blon BL-03 is my next favorite. And now you've made me curious about the CCA CXS. Thanks, and keep up the quality work!
Thanks Sid for saving me from becoming a boatHead. From your vids I learnt the major differences, I picked up the cheapest KZs I could get my hands on. The joy of your videos and the background music are multiplied many times by these pair. Thanks ❤
Hey there! Really enjoyed your video, but I've got a question for you. I'm in for some IEMs for daily use, including calls with a mic, and I'm looking for a balanced sound with a bit of bass, nothing too overwhelming. My budget is under 2000. Since this is my first time buying IEMs, could you recommend the best ones for my needs? Thanks in advance!
@@mayurbadiyani I personally didn't like it, but others have said good things about it. I think BLON BL-03 were still my second favourite, and then Final E1000 (which has the most balanced sound, but with lesser detail).
@@TechReflex what do you think about buying the upgraded version. Is it better than the former ones. I'm looking for an IEM with well balanced top notch sound signature and with a little bit of bass (not heavy enough to drop the vocal clarity). I'm a casual listener. Listening to music is my Main priority. Could you suggest me one. By the way great video. Thanks in advance
i personally have the 7hz Salnotes zero and i like the tuning. I have not tried other options here but in isolation they're a good pair. Comfort can vary hugely however the nozzle on these is HUGE I'd love to try the CXS now, they look SWEET too.
Headphonezone has such a strong control over my content thst the no. 1 recommendation in this comparison (CCA CXS) is not even available on Headphonezone, and I've put an Amazon link there.
I liked your review. Most of the top picks under 2k have been covered in this video. I have blon 03 and 7hz zero. I feel although the zero is more resolving and have better technicality, blons have marginally better soundstage and better fit for my ears.
@@anilkumar138 It is smooth as butter but you need right tips I tried others too but I'm using spring tips. no matter how many new iems release in the market bl03 always standouts for me in tonality and timbre and compete with 10k-15k priced iems
Hey Man, Please reply: 1. I bought a cosmic byte mechanical keyboard for 1500 and the keys stopped working after a year. 2. I bought antesports mk4500 based on your recommendation and returned it due to faulty hardware. I am hearing that zebronics, antesports, redgear, redragon will fail after 1 year and i can't afford to change once a year. so i am thinking about raising my budget to 5k and buy a keyboard that will last me a good 5 to 7 year without any problems. so what i had in my mind was 1. Logitech pop keyboard( not hotswappble) 2. Royal kludge rk100 ( hot swappable) and i am thinking of biting the bullet. So can you please tell me how is royal kludge, is it reliable and can i prolong it for 5 to 7 years with proper care and do they have warranty
I did review a Royal Kludge keyboard years ago, and it had been working well, even though I didn't use it a lot. IMO they seem to be good, but I wouldn't consider them to be better than other Chinese brands. Idk what fault you had with antesports keyboard (was it battery indicator or other lights?), but I consider reliability of all Chinese brands to be similar. Even Logitech isn't that much better, as I've had expensive mice fail every year, and keyboards also show double tapping issue. In fact, I don't really trust any brand to last for 5-7 years, and I personally haven't had issues with Chinese companies. It varies for everyone.
@@TechReflex ant esports missed the charging wire in one order and another one w and i LEDs not working, so what do you recommend for that budget, i need something reliable, and hotswappable means i can swap when fails please help me choose one and thanks for your quock reply

My realme buds wired earphones finally broke down after months of worn out cables. I was out looking for a good wired earphones and checking out these new IEMs. The Cca cxs definitely caught my eye. It looks amazing and I think I'll get those soon.
@@tushar8361 Realme buds 2 sounded really good for its price (~600 rs) and it had nice bass. I currently have Final e1000 and in comparison Final e1000 obviously sounds better but it also costs 2000 rs. In my opinion, realme buds wired is a really good pair of earphones and I used them for more than 4 years.

Great comparison video. I'm a newbie trying to learn more about these brands/types of headphones. It was helpful. 🙏 I like something lightweight, and not heavy and bulky in-ear. I'm looking for clear vocals but with some bass. Would you recommend BLON - BL-03 for this?
I like your reviews and it had helped me buy Oppo Enco M31 almost 2 years ago. I really enjoy them and have no problems having them in my ear whole day long. I think I prefer the warmish sound signature of Oppo Enco M31 (hopefully I am using the correct terminology here). And I use them in regular Balanced mode (remember, they have a Bass Boost mode - which doesn't suit me). Having this in mind what IEMs do you think I should go for as the first IEM in this hobby?
@@TechReflex Nice. I have watched quite a lot of different videos on RUclips reviewing different IEMs but not having something to compare them with what I have used before was difficult to make a decision. Would get one of the two you recommended when I get around to buying them (unless of course I get lucky and manage to win the giveaway 🙂).
@@Shahbas_ it is great purchase for sound quality For 1.8k rupees you wont get that good sound in any other audio products Cable quality is pretty bad I will anyways purchase another cable which would cost me another 750rs

Also please cover hifiman-re400 too, heard about it as being "the audiophile earphone" in the price range as i'm looking for bright iems.
Hey.I have been using over head headphones for a whilee and I m a part time streamer in Twitch soo i was planning to purchase a new headphones can I opt for IEMS cause they are lightweight and are pretty comfortable..please suggest me if I should go for iEMS or not and if yeas can I get from some of these?
There is problem with CCA CXS that everyone is mentioning is that weight of iem. Which is not comfortable for listening for long hours causes ear pains. Literally everyone who bought saying the weight of iem and not comfortable. Views on this?
I brought blon bl 03 a week ago and guess what. It's broken within 3hrs of listening.. (got delivered on 24/06 and when i was trying on 25th morning one side cable got detached from earloop side (yep now it has 3 parts driver and broken black connector seperated and the wire 😂😂) good job headphone zone
sir i had realme buds 2 , the best i had then i bought VE bie ..but i was disappointed... please set me the base of realme buds 2 and tell me the best i can get punchy bass , and surrounds sound with instrument clearly
Given the number of IEMs you're covering, why not get a 711 coupler to measure them for yourself? :P Nice roundup though. Looks like the high noise floor of Moondrop's DSP IEMs isn't consistent on all units.
I didn't experience a noticeable noise floor, but that may be different on other units, or maybe even between different devices. Also, measurements don't really tell the full story, so I prefer the subjective experiences, even from other reviewers. Resolve on headphones.com reviews gear objectively and subjectively, which is a near perfect approach, but those measurement equipment cost like 7-10 lakh Rs. I guess, and won't be worth it to buy if the more important part is the subjective experiences. (I do have a measurement mic, but not really into measuring gear for many reasons).
I want to order iems from china sites like - hifigo or linsoul My question is didnyou pay any custom duty or tax other than what you pay on their website.
KZ ZSN pro hifi Or 7hz zero for gaming like bgmi Or pubg in Android, or if you know the better option please help me to find out the best earphones for Android gaming
Hey @TechReflex, I'm a little bit confused between cca nra , blon bl03 and kz zex. I mostly listen to pop,R&B,raps and jazz music. What would you suggest me from one of this?
If you're recommending anything other than 7hz salnotes zero under 2000 then you're most probably trolling with your audience especially it has the best most technical capabilities under 2000. Imaging and soundstage on it is remarkable combine it with it's sound signature. It's terrific!
Entered the IEM zone last year because of your video and went with Chu. Now I broke my Chu's wires and wanted to go with something less bright and guess what your new video drops.
I remember cca cra being so good two years ago , they even killed the competition but now i have no idea what happened to them , did they cut cost some ways ?

Hi, basshead here, I like bass a bit but not so extreme though and with bass I like bright sound too with some treble. Can you suggest between these - 7hz zero, hola, cca cra, csx, Tangzu wan'er, blon bl03 or if you can suggest out of these options.
How come you miss VE Bonus IE? I have both RHA-MA Universal 390 and VE Bonus, unfortunately RHA has been discontinued on Headphone Zone. Both of them have warm sound signature and they are a treat to listen to.

CCA is a very underrated brand in india even though they are the sister brand of infamous KZ 😅.. Their lineups are a refined version of KZ. CXS is an absolute gem imo ❤
Hi bro! I am looking to buy an earphone under ₹ 2k and that's how I landed on this new segment of IEMs (new for me). I like listening to music, especially Indian and ofc I will be using it for movies, ott content as well. I am getting confused because of the choices that are available but yeah, I am getting tempted towards Moondrop Chu 2. I want your advice though.
I am using cca cra from Jan 2023 awesome sound quality and build quality is better than by realme buds wireless 2 and also sound much more better with pc and laptop
Hi Sid, I want to buy Moondrop Quarks DSP with type c which you have suggested in this video but the link to buy this it's not working and I have checked this on headphone zone and Concept kart but on headphone zone website they wrote that this product is discontinued by the manufacturer. Can someone please share the link to by Moondrop Quarks DSP type c variant or suggest any other iem at similar price range with type c?
Today I bought new ATH CKR100is for close to 16 euro's, I couldn't be luckier. I will give them some time, a better cable and foam tips, paired to a 50 dollar LG V30.
Thanks Siddharth! I've been using CCA CRA since last 6 months and I'm happy with it. Just curious to know...is the give away still on?😅😊 Thanks once again for making such knowledgeable stuffs.
Great review. My new favorite is the KZ ZVX. The Tangzu Waner is also very good. Other IEMs in the $20 range that I like, in continuous order, are the KZ EDX Ultra, the KZ EDA Balanced, the KZ Ling Long, the Blon Blo3, the Moondrop Chu, the CCA CRA, and the KZ EDX Pro.
I have tried my friend's blon bl-03 in valorant its sound stage was decent i could tell where the footsteps were coming in deathmatch and played few swiftplay matches but couldnt test them nicely before i had to return the iem to my friend so please if you make a video compare their soundstage and bass these are the main things for me because i use a studio monitoring headphones for gaming and their bass is not boomy and i dont like heavy bass while gaming.
Can you make a video on the best lightning to 3.5mm dac/converter for iphone which also supports the mic. Will be really helpful. Also loved the video 🙂
Both are great. Like really very similar from what I can recall, but I haven't been able to compare them side by side. CXS might be better as it may not have NRA's treble unevenness, but again, that's just what I can recall.
Majority creator/reviewer (well known RUclipsrs) rate earphones on its bass quality thats it and they rate mids and highs in numbers. But thats not an actual review. And majority Indian audiences also responsible for that they just focus on deep bass (too deep bass disturbing lower mid-range😌). But kind of review (content) you make clear our points over all three frequency range and there sub frequencies and mostly about tuning❤. Thanks for providing us such information. Will love to have CCA CXS for its quite wider sound stage. Thank You and keep it up❤.

Which one would you recommend best for gaming? Can you please put from best to worst for gaming like CSGO etc? Thanks
I brought blon bl 03 a week ago and guess what. It's broken within 3hrs of listening.. (got delivered on 24/06 and when i was trying on 25th morning one side cable got detached from earloop side (yep now it has 3 parts driver and broken black connector seperated and the wire 😂😂) good job headphone zone
sir i had realme buds 2 , the best i had then i bought VE bie ..but i was disappointed... please set me the base of realme buds 2 and tell me the best i can get punchy bass , and surrounds sound with instrument clearly
Given the number of IEMs you're covering, why not get a 711 coupler to measure them for yourself? :P
Nice roundup though. Looks like the high noise floor of Moondrop's DSP IEMs isn't consistent on all units.
I was expecting a noise floor from him. Maybe isn't consistent as you said.
I never noticed the noise floor with my Quarks DSP. Anyway moondrop's history is famous regarding inconsistency.
I didn't experience a noticeable noise floor, but that may be different on other units, or maybe even between different devices.
Also, measurements don't really tell the full story, so I prefer the subjective experiences, even from other reviewers. Resolve on headphones.com reviews gear objectively and subjectively, which is a near perfect approach, but those measurement equipment cost like 7-10 lakh Rs. I guess, and won't be worth it to buy if the more important part is the subjective experiences. (I do have a measurement mic, but not really into measuring gear for many reasons).
Bro kya at this time kya infinity glade 500 headphones buy krey or other
Plz suggest then which
Daily usage 4 to 5 hours
I want to order iems from china sites like - hifigo or linsoul

KZ ZSN pro hifi Or 7hz zero for gaming like bgmi Or pubg in Android, or if you know the better option please help me to find out the best earphones for Android gaming
is moondrop chu good for gaming
Hey @TechReflex, I'm a little bit confused between cca nra , blon bl03 and kz zex. I mostly listen to pop,R&B,raps and jazz music. What would you suggest me from one of this?
NRA
If you're recommending anything other than 7hz salnotes zero under 2000 then you're most probably trolling with your audience especially it has the best most technical capabilities under 2000. Imaging and soundstage on it is remarkable combine it with it's sound signature. It's terrific!
difference between cca- cra vs cca- nra ??
my preference r clearer vocals ,detailed sound instead of v shaped signature,
I hate bass-heavy signature.
Cca cra le sakte ho
Hey which DAC would you recommend with these IEM's?
Entered the IEM zone last year because of your video and went with Chu. Now I broke my Chu's wires and wanted to go with something less bright and guess what your new video drops.
:)
Which one to get for editing videos?
How good the sound will be without DAC/Amp? I want to use these earphones with my laptop/mobile.
Bro your #1 vs realme wireless 3 neckband which jabe better sound quality?
I remember cca cra being so good two years ago , they even killed the competition but now i have no idea what happened to them , did they cut cost some ways ?
Which one do you prefer for EDM ? And some gaming
Only one question:- Sennheiser cx 300 or Cca nra or one from this video
Can you suggest the best and comfortable iem for pubg mobile and music under 2.5k?
Hay bro want to get a suggestion from you regarding over the ear gaming headphone I wanted to know that which is better JBL quantam hundred vs JBL q 200 versus hyperx cloud stringer vs hyperx cloud Stinger 2 for gaming my budget is 3 to 4000 rupees and I am confused between JBL and hyperx how can I contact you personally where you can reply me or talk to me
blon BL-03 vs Chu 2 which is better?
Thank you for your input! I found your video from last year to be incredibly helpful and it sparked my interest into this hobby. Your reviews are always great!
I want to buy my first IEM around 2000 which one should I buy?
My phone Support Dolby Audio I'm thinking of getting Moondrop Quarks DSP will they support Dolby Audio?
This channel is my go to besides crinacle when it comes to IEMs and other audio stuff
Hi, basshead here, I like bass a bit but not so extreme though and with bass I like bright sound too with some treble. Can you suggest between these - 7hz zero, hola, cca cra, csx, Tangzu wan'er, blon bl03 or if you can suggest out of these options.
What did you go for?
Thanks for suggestions but how good are the after sales services about the given website??
They are pretty good. Even amazon only does replacement only for electronics these days, so HPZ return policy also seems decent by comparison.
Nice video. I plan to buy soon & your video helped me zero-in on right earphone for me.
How come you miss VE Bonus IE? I have both RHA-MA Universal 390 and VE Bonus, unfortunately RHA has been discontinued on Headphone Zone. Both of them have warm sound signature and they are a treat to listen to.
Bonus IE is really great. I had covered it in last year's video. It's still a great choice, and was one of my top 3 choices in last year's video.
@@TechReflex Oh fine, RUclips suggested me this link, so I watched this one. Let me add, RUclips now suggested the last year's video too after 88k views and yes, you covered VE Bonus IE. I bought it last year from Headphone Zone and even Raghav of Headphone Zone has skipped it in his under 20k video this year😀😀.
Can we wear any of them as a regular earphone..and not the way around ear??
Hi bro ! Watching your videos 1 by 1.i am a basshead and mainly listen hi res electronic music like techno and psychedelic.i have considered kz zsn pro x and blon 03.which 1 should i go for? Pls suggest me anyother if you knw.
Simgot EA500
@@TechReflex my budget is under 2.5k only bro
@@adarshs100 7hz Salnotes Zero mecha edition is best sounding earphone on this table
This guy is biased on his own opinions
Quarks dsp waner are best for vocals
7hz Salnotes Zero is best it has best clarity instrument vocals everything is just so good
Can you recommend me an iem among these which is comparable to my galaxy buds 2 ? I need one as a replacement for using it with my PC as galaxy buds 2 sounds awful in windows
Hi Siddharth, thanks for this video. I was looking to purchase a good sounding and lightweight earphones to listen to music during my travel. I would have just purchased a Sony or Boat one from Amazon, but this video has educated me about more options.
i use nothing buds 2 as my primary earphones and need a wired earphone for better mic under 1000rs what should i go for?
i never tried any iem before, ,i love the sound quality of oppo enco m31 neckband and realme buds air 2,,, will pls suggest an iem under rs2000 which sounds similar like these two 🙏🏻
CCA is a very underrated brand in india even though they are the sister brand of infamous KZ 😅.. Their lineups are a refined version of KZ. CXS is an absolute gem imo ❤
Yep :)
Bro which should i take CCA CRA or Truthear hola for gaming (clear sound)
*Value for money 😁
CRA
@@TechReflex thanks 👍
Bro can u make a video on iems that comes with lighting cable…….
By the way nice review
I’m your subscriber since 2019
Hi bro! I am looking to buy an earphone under ₹ 2k and that's how I landed on this new segment of IEMs (new for me). I like listening to music, especially Indian and ofc I will be using it for movies, ott content as well. I am getting confused because of the choices that are available but yeah, I am getting tempted towards Moondrop Chu 2. I want your advice though.
I haven't tried Chu 2 yet.
@@TechReflex of all which are Best for Bass ???
For gaming which one is best please 😁
Can u recommend good IEM with Ctype port
I am using cca cra from Jan 2023 awesome sound quality and build quality is better than by realme buds wireless 2 and also sound much more better with pc and laptop
Earphone reviews you do is very detailed and i like it.
Hi Sid, I want to buy Moondrop Quarks DSP with type c which you have suggested in this video but the link to buy this it's not working and I have checked this on headphone zone and Concept kart but on headphone zone website they wrote that this product is discontinued by the manufacturer. Can someone please share the link to by Moondrop Quarks DSP type c variant or suggest any other iem at similar price range with type c?
What about JD1 by Fiio? it is at similar price range and coming with type c output as well.
Helped a lot . The detailed explanation about them helped me to choose one thanq .great content ;)
Today I bought new ATH CKR100is for close to 16 euro's, I couldn't be luckier. I will give them some time, a better cable and foam tips, paired to a 50 dollar LG V30.
As always your content hits different btw best budget iem for me is kiwi ears cadenza
the video I have been waiting for soo long . Thanks
:)
@@TechReflex
Why not NRA is in list
You have recommended earlier
Thanks Siddharth! I've been using CCA CRA since last 6 months and I'm happy with it. Just curious to know...is the give away still on?😅😊
Thanks once again for making such knowledgeable stuffs.
Very good review. I bought a CCA CXS by the reference of You
:)
Bro how are they ??
Can anyone tell how is the new moondrop chu 2?
Other people on internet says that they are really great.
good to see iem reviews for the indian market, keep up the good work
Bro should i go with cca lyra vs cca cxs 😢 , this is the first time i am going for iem
Great review. My new favorite is the KZ ZVX. The Tangzu Waner is also very good. Other IEMs in the $20 range that I like, in continuous order, are the KZ EDX Ultra, the KZ EDA Balanced, the KZ Ling Long, the Blon Blo3, the Moondrop Chu, the CCA CRA, and the KZ EDX Pro.
Can you make a video for the best iem for gaming from these iems for games like csgo and valorant.
I have tried my friend's blon bl-03 in valorant its sound stage was decent i could tell where the footsteps were coming in deathmatch and played few swiftplay matches but couldnt test them nicely before i had to return the iem to my friend so please if you make a video compare their soundstage and bass these are the main things for me because i use a studio monitoring headphones for gaming and their bass is not boomy and i dont like heavy bass while gaming.
@@sahilmemon8211 did you find something good for gaming?
@@apexz1972 nope not yet, i am currently using my audio technica m50x over ear headphones
Bro which of them is best for gaming like I usually plays valorant csgo?
I'd go with CCA CXS, or CCA CRA
Tnx bro both r with mics?
@@PURURAJTOMAR yeah, you have to make sure you're selecting the version that has mic
Moondrop chu 2 or cca cxs?
Can you make a video on the best lightning to 3.5mm dac/converter for iphone which also supports the mic. Will be really helpful. Also loved the video 🙂
Which is better cca nra or cca cxs ?
Both are great. Like really very similar from what I can recall, but I haven't been able to compare them side by side. CXS might be better as it may not have NRA's treble unevenness, but again, that's just what I can recall.
Sir I am finding a heavy bass earphone please help🙏
Hey what do you think about truthhear hola?
Didn't like it
Hello #TechReflex, can you please suggest me best IEM under 5k?
Increase the budget and get Simgot EA500LM, will be worth it.
so I have perfectly fine headphones and a pair of earbuds and now I think I need a pair of earphones as well.
Wich is best Pubg bgmi gaming earphone under 2k need footsteps immersive sounds
Majority creator/reviewer (well known RUclipsrs) rate earphones on its bass quality thats it and they rate mids and highs in numbers. But thats not an actual review. And majority Indian audiences also responsible for that they just focus on deep bass (too deep bass disturbing lower mid-range😌). But kind of review (content) you make clear our points over all three frequency range and there sub frequencies and mostly about tuning❤. Thanks for providing us such information. Will love to have CCA CXS for its quite wider sound stage. Thank You and keep it up❤.
