I got my Simgot EW200 delivered today. Man, the detail retrieval, layering, and imaging are indeed above average. The soundstage/headstage is a bit narrow compared to the IEMs I have used previously. Though for my taste, the treble is a bit too much, it's okay, it isn't shouty or anything.
I was looking to buy the HBB Khan, but I could not find a pair as they are now discontinued, so my eyes opened wide just now when you said I have a new collaboration, and it's for bass heads....A massive smile on my face :)
Here in Western Australia there is nowhere to listen to IEMs before buying which makes it a total hit and miss proposition, so I have to rely on reviews. This is by far the best place to hear serious reviews.
I love these tier list videos. A lot of the viewers will be interested in your verdict (yes or no kinda verdict) of IEMs under 50$. This is the perfect kinda of video to take that decision. Eg: how you put castor in the top tier! which means it hits beyond its price point - that is so cool! btw, why did Ziigat nuo go to "it's ok"? I thought Chris recommended that set?
Wooo speedrun babeee! It's like a cup of coffee in iem tier list format. I like tier lists for giving me things to look up and do more research on, and these are fast enough with just a taste of info that I dont need to skip ahead. Excited to hear more about the Hades soon too
Really surprised you have the Sonus in Top Tier! That's actually my favorite set - I have the S12 Pro, Hexa, EA500, Fudu, Phoenixcall, and a few others. Didn't expect you'd enjoy the leaner tonality (not thin!), but yes, love this set to bits.
How does it differ from the Phoenixcall for you? I only own the Phoenixcall, which I like, but I am wondering what's available that's different out there...
We use a lot of BLON-03 in church for band players - got some from Drop long ago at near $20 each. I think I've bought either 8 or 10 sets. Now they're showing their value and keeping prices up. I enjoy the EW200 to the point of feeling it should be "The Best" tier - but you're close there with Top Tier.
Yes! The original Heart Mirror is my favorite budget set by a long shot! Thank you for highlighting the betrayal that was the Pro version. Fortunately, there is now an updated version of the original called the Heart Mirror Zero (another Zero, because of course, lol) which is a nice return to form for fans of the original, and it's even at a lower price while sounding just as good!
This speed-run is a lot more relatable XD The other one lives in a world outside my range. I actually own or have owned a lot of these sets. Many of them based on your recs. Nice to see most of the ones I have still have on hand are in the top two brackets. Looking forward to hearing more about the Hades. Wonder how it'll compare to the QKZxHBB!
@badguy Thank you for all that you do for all of the community, even us budget folks. I recently found your chanel, its great and I know that you review really high-end stuff, but these videos help since I can't afford any of that stuff. Im looking for my first set now. Plus for me I feel that I have a similar taste in music as you, so anything you say is gold is GOLD! Also, I lived in Japan for about 6 years, Okinawa then Japan. Thanks man and take care.
I’m really with you on the 7hz Sonus. I love that set! That Massive Dynamic Driver also takes EQ quite well for the Bass Heads among us 😎 looking forward to your new Collaboration. I’ve never purchased a Dual DD set because I just knew the way you went on and on about the Blue that you would be making your own version one day. That day has come 🤘🏻
Thanks for the top tier recs. I will review those very seriously. Really look forward to more info on your collaboration, I am really in your demographic target!
Cool video. So much nice and afordable IEMs 👍 And great that there is your another collab, I am probably not that one who will appreciate that bases so much, but looks cool. 🤟
I enjoy these lists. It's always nice to see what others think about iems before you decide to buy. It reduces the risk of getting something really bad.
Now we're talkin! It might be embarrassing but this is my price bracket! With a lot of IEMs coming out of the ChiFi woodwork, this is getting crowded. But this is a win for consumers like me!
Been looking forward to this list. I am probably gonna get the "best" as a reward myself when passing my exams. And Congratz on the Hades being out soon
I guess I need to go back and listen to the Zero Blue again, as I recall I thought it was a little lackluster at the time and it was quickly overcome by newer additions to my collection. But with it being in The Best tier along with the EA500LM, I'm going to go back and give it another go to see if my opinion was formed a little to hastily. Thanks.
Really happy the Hades is going to be a thing. An affordable bass monster will allow some to experiment with a sound signature they usually wouldn't listen to. And we need a mini Fatfreq lol.
I got some of the mentioned iems. Nice to see you got them above average sets. Every time I go back to the T3+ I still enjoy them very much. Looking forward on getting the LM or th EM6L.
Nice budget tier list 👍🎧 I will not take it literally but use it as inspiration when buying my next iem set. Thanx for sorting out the worst ones and giving people choices to listen to👍 Happy listening 🎧❤️
I am super excited for the Hades !!! I still think my favorite bargain sets are the Tanchjim One DSP, the KZ Castor bass, KBear Rosefinch, the QKZxHBB and Z300 round out my top 5 budget ( under $50 ). In the under $50-$100 range, I add the Olina SE, EA500 ( both OG and LM ), Kailua, and Galileo.
Man, I’m so stoked for the Hades. I’m going to have to wait until November to get it, but it’s on my definitely get list. How does the bass compare with the Z300?
I Own the QKZ Khan and really enjoy bass response, with the right amount of power to drive the set and a tad of EQ the set turns into a beast🔥. Would you say your new Collab is a solid upgrade?? specifically in the sub bass region???
I'd love to know more about what you think of the Juzear 41t. To me, it's kinda "what if Supernova had a lot less resolution." I actually really like it as a "sleepy-time" set.
Thank you for this tier list. Really appreciate it as all of my collection falls in this category at the moment. Looking forward to the Hades. Get low, get low!
Sometimes I get to your videos late, BGGA. So my comments are late for any giveaways - Do I care, or does it really matter in the long run? Probably not, since I comment for u/ other viewers to get some positive feedback, maybe laugh and feel part of a community. Everything that goes around, comes around - that's how I see it anyway. Much love, as always. Earbuds in, keep movin' forward fam

Zero OG still a fantastic set imo, despite being my first venture into the IEM world and being a budget set. Glad it still holds up

I'm excited to hear the Hades, I've enjoyed your collaborations so far.
Excite for your new Collaboration. Best of luck.
What will be direct upgrade to QKZ X HBB? Lush emotinal at same time relax under 100?
Yes! The original Heart Mirror is my favorite budget set by a long shot! Thank you for highlighting the betrayal that was the Pro version.

Hades! Yessir
I dig these speed rankings bro. A good way to cover a lot of IEMs and information for all in a realistic time frame 👍🏻
Happy to see the T3 Plus up there in top tier. Tinhifi C3 to me felt like a refined T3 Plus and I love the C3.
Always excited to see new collabs from the community, keep up the good work!

This is still one of the best channels for everything audiophile. TO THIS DAY!!!

Loving the detailed tier list for so many sets! Tend to look at the top tiered ones, but some good value can be found in the middle of the chart!
Sweet! Can't wait for the colab and always appreciate a bass head set
Thanks for the top tier recs. I will review those very seriously. Really look forward to more info on your collaboration, I am really in your demographic target!
I am so excited for the QKZxHBB Hades!!! I love me some bass, and I know this one will deliver. Congrats on another banger!
Damn good to know know 03's are still rocking. Also, HADEZ IS HEREEE LESS GOOOOOO!!!!!
Can’t get enough of these speed runs.. it’s like bang bang bang
Some of these budget iems really punch way above their price point. Love these tier list vids, thank you Chris!👍👍👍
really looking forward to the new collab! looks an amazing pickup!
I’m happy for your hard work on your review channel and unboxing channel!
Thanks
Thanks for another value oriented video. I expect to revisit this one in a few months. Also, I'm excited for your new collaboration.
Nice to see T3+ getting some love 🖤
Always great to see another tier list, still looking forward to a continuation of that Brand tier list video from ~5 months ago.
Excited for the new collab man. I am waiting for some heavy hitter, so I'll wait! Might also pick up some from this list just to try stuff up.
1:57 isn’t Krila? By the way, love that my next incoming set (500LM) is your the best spot, can’t wait to try it.
So fun to see the fast fire rankings of these. Just going with gut instinct on how you feel on each one. Thanks for your opinions.
Another tier list, this time in my neighborhood of budget! Thanks for these man, looking forward to this one for sure!
Alright, that was quite the video, didn't expect the aria or zero pro getting boped to the las place but I laughed at the end
Can’t wait for the new colab! Thanks!
Cool video. So much nice and afordable IEMs 👍 And great that there is your another collab, I am probably not that one who will appreciate that bases so much, but looks cool. 🤟
I’m liking that your doing tier list again!!!
Now this is a list that I can participate in. I fully agree with so many of these placements. Looking forward to the colab. Happy New Year
Oppoty Never give up.. Still have that Blon, still rockin
excited for more HBB collabs lets goo
Digging this series, lots of information available quickly!
Wow, nicely done and super helpful. Love the way you used the images because I’m visually. Well explained. I subscribed instantly. Thx!
Congratulation 🥳🥳 . Best wishes for the new colab ❤ . Can't wait . wish it will manage to come to our country . I❤Bass.
Excited for your newest collaboration!
Excited to check out this new Collab, the previous collab with qkz absolutely slapped for the price. Looks forward to buying a pair 🫶
I enjoy these lists. It's always nice to see what others think about iems before you decide to buy. It reduces the risk of getting something really bad.
Man... you are getting faster and faster with these xD
Hmm this is interesting. Pretty unexpected how you ranked some of these IEMs, but ey it's your list. Looking forward to your new QKZ Collab
Now we're talkin! It might be embarrassing but this is my price bracket! With a lot of IEMs coming out of the ChiFi woodwork, this is getting crowded. But this is a win for consumers like me!
Cant wait to see the new collab!!!
I like how the tier list ended up! I would have upgraded the QKZ X HBB to top tier, and added the Tangzu Fudu too to that tier… Fun video to watch!
Been looking forward to this list. I am probably gonna get the "best" as a reward myself when passing my exams. And Congratz on the Hades being out soon
Looking forward to the new collab! Yet another great list :)
All the best for your upcoming collab!
I like these tier lists, they give you a good idea of what's interesting out there !
Very comprehensive review for newbies in the game. Lots' to choose from so you video is very timely!
Wow! Interesting to hear your take on the MagicOne and the Aria. I haven't heard either, but a lot of people love those
I guess I need to go back and listen to the Zero Blue again, as I recall I thought it was a little lackluster at the time and it was quickly overcome by newer additions to my collection. But with it being in The Best tier along with the EA500LM, I'm going to go back and give it another go to see if my opinion was formed a little to hastily. Thanks.
Thanks for this list. Really exhaustive and a good guide considering your library
Nice to see opinions on older stuff compared to the new hype.
another collab, good work. lets go!
HBB Basshead colab?!? Yes please! Looking forward to that for sure.
Always cool to see how you rank different sets, thanks man.
Take care and God Bless...
Your recommendations have me interested in your collabs! I've tried a couple sets you've recommended. The LM is amazing so far!
bro listens to his viewers and we are luckyy to have you buddy. thanks for making this video
It's crazy how much I agree with this tier list, kudos
I cant wait to hear more about your new collab
Awesome! I get to see you talk about all my favs
Really happy the Hades is going to be a thing. An affordable bass monster will allow some to experiment with a sound signature they usually wouldn't listen to. And we need a mini Fatfreq lol.
Can't wait for the collab🔥
Great list! Definitely can see your tastes pretty good here. Can't wait for the hades, will buy it when it comes out.
I got some of the mentioned iems. Nice to see you got them above average sets. Every time I go back to the T3+ I still enjoy them very much. Looking forward on getting the LM or th EM6L.
Can’t wait to hear your new set!!
Always glad to see a list for that is budget freindly
This list is a fun one. It gives some direction for trying out different sets at a reduced cost. Great for gifts and teenagers
I agreed quite a bit with your placement! Looking forward to an overview of the QKZ x HBB Hades! Can't find them in stock anywhere yet!
Nice budget tier list 👍🎧
I will not take it literally but use it as inspiration when buying my next iem set. Thanx for sorting out the worst ones and giving people choices to listen to👍
Happy listening 🎧❤️
Good to see the Tanchjim One at the top.
Do the rankings here take into account the price? Or is it purely performance? Thanks for making this video!
I am super excited for the Hades !!! I still think my favorite bargain sets are the Tanchjim One DSP, the KZ Castor bass, KBear Rosefinch, the QKZxHBB and Z300 round out my top 5 budget ( under $50 ). In the under $50-$100 range, I add the Olina SE, EA500 ( both OG and LM ), Kailua, and Galileo.
I still love the cadenza and hola for budget options. I think they’re some of the most well rounded for sure
Nicee!! Any plans to make a tier list for mid range stuff? Like from 200-600$?
Man, I’m so stoked for the Hades. I’m going to have to wait until November to get it, but it’s on my definitely get list. How does the bass compare with the Z300?
Liking the speedrun!! TKS!!
really curious about the new hades collab. loved the qkz x hbb, it's been my daily beater for a while now
I Own the QKZ Khan and really enjoy bass response, with the right amount of power to drive the set and a tad of EQ the set turns into a beast🔥. Would you say your new Collab is a solid upgrade?? specifically in the sub bass region???
Can't wait to see the Hades compared to the Legato! Do a 2-DD or DD only tier list.
I'd love to know more about what you think of the Juzear 41t. To me, it's kinda "what if Supernova had a lot less resolution." I actually really like it as a "sleepy-time" set.
Love bass and I agree with the Castor's position. Let's see what the new Collab brings....
Thank you for this tier list. Really appreciate it as all of my collection falls in this category at the moment. Looking forward to the Hades. Get low, get low!
I like this Speedrun videos, you get general idea where to look
excited on your new colab

Can't wait to see how the basshead set turns out ❤
Appreciate all the work. You're the best
Nice vid! Where does the BLon collab land on the chart?
Your new set is the only budget set that I'm interested in right now
When's the Hades launching man? Was going to try and not do any purchases this year and focus on loving what I have, but man I 'm curious.
