Sorry to hear about the issues with FATfreq. Logistics are unpredictable but good communication goes a long way - something that they handled really poorly this time around. Having said that, Deuce still stands as my favourite collab set yet from you. The bass really slams with 0 bleed, and there is virtually no listener’s fatigue with it’s warm analogue tone. I would prefer them to the Punch. You really set the bar high for 2025 for other reviewers and iem companies. Looking forward to more basshead goodness!
Was also the highlight this year for me and a couple of friends. We preordered early and got them with the limited edition case. Are you using stock eartips?
Likewise, deuce really outperforms its peers in the price range and been thoroughly enjoying them eversince i got my hands on them (Really thankful to HBB)…luckily for me, didnt face too many hurdles with the delivery myself but really hope the matter resolves quickly for everyone in terms of communication and delivery issues :(
Agreed.. it’s sad that probably the best basshead set launched this year got overshadowed by the customer experience. Got my unit from an authorized dealer so I encountered nothing of that sort. I hope FatFreak gets that sorted out soon…
I hate to break it, but I consider myself lucky to have had no issues with them in terms of logistics like super lucky lol. Infact my first blind buy and my first HBB collab and a FF product and the product is absolutely banger. Sucks that logistics have a been a nightmare for these guys. I am sure no company would want that especially when they deliver high end products but I hope they do everything to fix and redeem themselves!
I've got the Deuce and I’m loving it! The bass is incredible-powerful yet controlled, and the overall sound is just so smooth. Definitely one of my favorites.
Oh crap I didn't expect things to sour between you and FatFreq this soon into the collab. I've heard about the logistical nightmare of ordering the Deus directly from FatFreq, but I thought that was the end of it. Curious to hear what happened in your follow up to it. Pretty interesting round up. Never heard of a 10mm planar driver before, which is supremely cool. Props to Kefine for making a killer IEM. I was half expecting to see the Klean being mentioned in Best affordable IEM, but Delci took the spotlight
A lot of people trusted me and got burned and never got an apology..except by me. The responsibility and logistics and courtesy and business 101 dictates they should have issued an apology..2 months ago. This is peoples money. Just such a crap show
Sour? lol. I was charged in July 29th and I'm yet to receive mine. Package is stuck somewhere and FF refuses to acknowledge that there is an issue, while I'm disputing on PayPal. Shit show. Bad company, that's all.
Great video!! Unpredictable, honest and controversial, as always. It would be great to hear your list of other reviewers whom you respect and who aren't shills or have hidden agendas.

@viktor1845 In case the previous comment didn't go through, my written reviews are on TechPowerUp in the headphones and audio categories. My partner has also started her own TH-cam channel with my help, it's @cuppakeys here if you were interested.
California Morning bruh! Excellent overview of the year. I received my FF Deuce early compared to most of the others who ordered, but I ordered the morning you released the announcement vid. Great set, permanent spot in my collection and part of my 3 set rotation. You shared deep insights into a number of areas today, looking forward to the break down of what went wrong with FF. Best to your wife and son Dr J
Mate I just love your videos. You’re so honest , straight to the point and also shouting out other TH-camrs. Legend I hope you and your family have a great Xmas.
There's been some amazing releases across a lot of different budgets this year! I picked up the EW300 and the Tea Pro during 11.11, and I adore the EW300 for a daily carry set, and sadly was a bit disappointed by the Tea Pro (fitment issues with how they designed the angle of the 2-pin and IEM body doesn't work with my ear shape with the angle, and they have a weird sibilance issue in the mid high frequencies), maybe it's just an issue in my unit. Outside of that though they're a very solid and good sounding set, albeit a tiny bit too bassy. Thanks for all the videos you do! Look forward to your coverage for 2025.
Man, I was so interested in snagging the Deuce because of my love for my Maestro Mini set, but maybe I'll instead look into the Punch. Just had 3 friends pick up various versions of your collabs and each person has said that they refuse to use anything else. Hopefully these companies understand how large of a reach your audience has, and start to shape up. Merry Christmas everyone! This years was an absolute banger, so let's make the next one even better!
I appreciate the trust of you and your friends. The Punch is the best collab overall. Jupiter is a tad better in SQ but is very pricey. Punch is great and what I wanted. QC is also good with kiwi Ears. Have a Merry christmas🎄
My man...FatFreq really pulled a lot of crap on customers. I feel you when you say that a lot of fans out there don't know what's going on...I still have a bitter feeling for having been milked like that, but what makes me happy, in the end, is that you did a hell of a job with the tuning and the IEM delivers in bass, punch and warmth. It's the only IEM I use beside the Mega5EST Bass+, which is my endgame piece at the moment. Something needs to seriously top that one for me to reconsider. Thanks as always for the awesome work you do, I hope we can leave this FatFreq affair behind us anytime son and look at an exciting 2025. Peace out! 🙌❤
I really agree with these takes. I have a Kefine Delci AE and agree that this company is doing good work. This video really does capture the hobby for the year to me. I think there was a lot of hype around as usual. When that dries up and I look around, alot of these categories weren't even close.
Expected Kefine Klean to be in there, but great upload nonetheless. I'm gonna take a break from this hobby-basically, not buying new IEMs for a while-but I really appreciate the work you do. Peace!
I gotta pickup the Thieaudio origin. Thank you for your videos and contributions to this hobby. I’ve been using the punch daily since I got it and it’s pretty much my favorite collab from you. I was let down by the Ej07m kl tuning change but still have it around, I’m glad you got companies to follow the way you wanted tuned and the fact you double check tuning now once the collab launched. Have a good Christmas and new years.
This is a great “best of” list. The entire reason I found your channel was for the planar’s. Have a great end of the year and hope we all have a great 2025!
Totally get your frustrations with FF. My Duece finally turned up yesterday and is sitting on my desk unopened. The journey and fight to get it here has robbed me of the joy I should be experiencing from a new set. Thanks for a top year of content. All the best to you and your family for the silly season.
I've just recently started following you and just wanted to tell that I appreciate that you don't hold back. If something's on your mind, good or bad, you speak out.
You create such a vibe in every video. At the beggining was weird to only watch your set up and hear your voice, but now I really enjoy al the vibes... PLUS you put MUUUUSTAAAAAAAARD!
16:55 aaaaayyyyyyy that's the set I want, I'm still saving for it, can't wait to buy it some time next year. Hopefully it goes on sale at some point lol
+respect for adding worst trend section , most influenceres dont raise these kind of issues especially in ranking videos such as these , which i believe are the best videos to do so as these kind of videos (imho) are the ones people are looking online to get a scope of whats the meta , especially people new in this hobby or people like me who wont bother to keep track of whats meta unless and until the previous and only set of headphones/iems start withering
Just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts. It's really rare in this hobby to find someone with tastes that match mine, so when you speak on how things sound, I can relay it to the actual music. For someone with no way to demo things that's been invaluable to me, and you've yet to steer me wrong on the sets you rec. Happy holidays to you and yours. 🤘
We got FatFreq crash out in 2024 lmao. Really like this kind of videos, recommendations, comparisons, mentions and callouts, summarized in one video that is very informative. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
I hear you bro! I was through the FF screw-up, seen it coming verry early. The experience ended me with the one favorite of this time the Xenns t pro, that flies everything in my playlists the best.
I hope in the end what we bring from this mess are the lessons that we can use to better our judgements in buying iems. I still believe that like everyone else in this world, companies too can grow and change and learn from their past mistakes. Appreciate your honesty and sincerity on the issue! I love resolve's channel as well! It's always nice hearing good channels mention other good channels ❤
Been enjoying Resolve for a few years now. He's very well spoken and he doesn't seem completely full of shit. My benchmark is whether I think I could have a conversation with someone, have a beer, whatever. And I think he would be a good one to pick the brain of. Love to you and your family brother.
It's really a shame that the collab with FF went south. I hope to hear more about it, and I sincerely hope FF can learn and grow from this. Thank you for the video, this is a really nice "best of" list, it gives a good overview for the year. Hope everyone is having a good end of the year holiday season, to you and your loved ones. Be excellent to each other.
Cheers to you, glad i came across your reviews this year and hearing everything you have to say. Congrats on all your recent collabs (the goods and the bads) and heres to many more more 2025 🥂
Watching/listening to you fills me with a plethora of emotion because I'm waiting in anticipation for a reply. As for this review, i am on the same wavelength in regards to fatfreq. I'm sure you've heard "my story" from hundreds of others. I'm happy(bittersweet) to hear you standing up for the strife of the little man. Good looking out.
Merry Christmas, Chris! For 2024, picked up the Thieaudio Prestige LTD (just last week and on the way), Deuce (lucky to have bought it from Bloom Audio), Meze Alba, Kiwi Ears Quintet, and Simgot SuperMix 4. Enjoyed this video like your other content over the years. More power, man!
Agree with so much of this list. It definitely sucks how poorly the FF collab went and how it's still going. I commented before but it would have been such a nice entry into FF's lineup at the price point for your collab. I love the walkaway set choice as I've suggested it to some friends looking in that price range and they've loved it.
Great video!! Unpredictable, honest and controversial, as always. It would be great to hear your list of other reviewers whom you respect and who aren't shills or have hidden agendas.
Nice wrap up!! that Mangird Tea Pro must be pretty awesome, just good things about it, now Thieaudio Origin must be something special, wish i could try them out!! I think the Kefine Klean should be the winner of the afordable one ✌🏼
Nice round up. I am looking forward to getting the Punch during the next summer sales. Have been hearing good things about it and the tuning is very much to my taste 🎉
Was very pleasantly surprised to see Tea Pro as a good walkaway set... It's one of the sets I'm looking at at the moment, just trying to figure out if it's quite enough bass for EDM. I see very different opinions on that - from people calling it very balanced and a bit too low in the bass, to others saying the bass is great, to yet others saying the bass is fine but the treble is sibilant. Hard to say, LOL. But I love the shells, wish more companies went this route.
WOW, so much outstanding information in this one video, thank you brother. I haven't bought a new set in over 2 years not but I'm seriously considering getting the Tea2Pro.. Thanks for all you do for this hobby and I hope this finds you and yours doing great. Merry Christmas, take care and God bless...
Always great to see your transparency in your videos. Also agreed that the FatFreq thing is probably the worse CS I have ever seen in my life and I bought tons of things online. Also seeing Tea Pro here made me more sure that its probably gonna be my end game set, unless something better got released next year ofc 👀
Honestly, Kefine's Klean really moves the budget space a lot for people looking for a nice Harman inspired with bass. I'm a bit surprised at the take on the Pula, I'm super happy with my PA02.
I couldn't agree more with your choice for the best new company. I have Ziigaat Cinno and I absolutely adore that set. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but out of all sets I own Cinno stands out and is used daily. I'm a bit surprised with your choice of the best affordable set. I expected inawaken dawn Ms but delci is also very good.
Really interested in the new BLON BLO3 ii. I am using OG Bl03, might be an upgrade. Hat's off for roasting FF even though you have colabration with them.
Always like an honest take on things, and I am definitely looking forward to finding out what your favourite of year[ price to performance] is. To any reading this who aren't subscribed then do so you'll be doing yourself a Favour.
Pick a set and walk away, I did that by buying zs10 pro back in 2019 because of your review, and it's great until recently. It's not broken I just wanted another "sound" 😁
Sorry to hear about the issues with FATfreq. Logistics are unpredictable but good communication goes a long way - something that they handled really poorly this time around.

VSG is special kind of reviewer. It’s nice there’s still written reviews out there.
Thanks for the kind words!

"Santa Guy Good Audio" should be the name for december. Happy Monday. Love this video.

Good to see the tea pro making it on this video. I got one on the way right now and it feels reassuring. Also, i hope you have a Happy New Year.
Hell yeah! This is the best video about honesty in this business! It is brutal and beautiful. I can feel related with almost everything. Bravo!
I have to keep my credit card in the other room when I watch, great video. Epic is a great way to describe the Origin.
Your honesty will always be a beacon of light in the world of audio ... thanks for all you do ...

Absolutely love the s15, my most used iem this year
You’re out in Japan? 🇯🇵 I’m visiting next February for the first time. Can’t wait to experience Tokyo! And seeing green day in Yokohama
Great to see you praise Resolve!
I have to get my hands on the Tea Pro's
Great video as always! Thanks bro 🙏👐

Quick and honest recap of 2024 ❤❤
Thank you much HBB for introducing me to the PMG Audio Apx SE months ago. This is truly the best IEM I have ever heard & currently own.
I hope in the end what we bring from this mess are the lessons that we can use to better our judgements in buying iems.
I still believe that like everyone else in this world, companies too can grow and change and learn from their past mistakes.
Appreciate your honesty and sincerity on the issue!
I love resolve's channel as well! It's always nice hearing good channels mention other good channels ❤
Very much appreciate how really real you keep it here, HBB!

Great video, sir!
Heard the APX SE at CanJam and it was a standout amongst all the others there.
It is a fantastic set. Poland in the house
@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews - Poland IEMs coming for everyone! I think this next year is going to be fire with new things! Audio lovers gonna eat good
Years nearly over but I'm sure there's more time come before the new year. Best wishes for the holiday season have a great time with your family. 😊
I think it would be dope if you sent Jay all your collabs (he doesn't have) and have him do an authorized tier list of your collabs.
Thanks for all the content this year mate loved watching the reviews and the unboxings
Thanks for watching
Great video, agree with all the points. Resolve and vsg are both great. vsg's takes photos from inside the equipment too which is awesome.
Best 2 reviewers in hobby for different reasons but both have good ears IMO
Thanks for the kind words!
been waiting for this video lets goo. 2024 was a solid year
Merry Christmas, Chris! For 2024, picked up the Thieaudio Prestige LTD (just last week and on the way), Deuce (lucky to have bought it from Bloom Audio), Meze Alba, Kiwi Ears Quintet, and Simgot SuperMix 4. Enjoyed this video like your other content over the years. More power, man!
Great Vid HBB.. need to try Origne.. and the punch!..
both the letshuoer cadenza 4 and the hype 4 are two of my favorite iems that i’ve gotten in 2024 theiaudio smashed it this year
Very nice video! Agree in almost everything you said. Have a nice Monday everyone!
Great year in review! I picked up the Xenns Tea Pro and I couldn't agree with you more. What a fantastic set.
I like this categorized list. Great picks.
Agree with so much of this list. It definitely sucks how poorly the FF collab went and how it's still going. I commented before but it would have been such a nice entry into FF's lineup at the price point for your collab. I love the walkaway set choice as I've suggested it to some friends looking in that price range and they've loved it.
Cool round up. Enjoying my Delci
Great video!! Unpredictable, honest and controversial, as always.
It would be great to hear your list of other reviewers whom you respect and who aren't shills or have hidden agendas.
Great list. Appreciate the honesty as always.
Thanks for your honesty and detail.
Happy new week everybody!
Nice wrap up!! that Mangird Tea Pro must be pretty awesome, just good things about it, now Thieaudio Origin must be something special, wish i could try them out!! I think the Kefine Klean should be the winner of the afordable one ✌🏼
Great information Chris thank you 🙏🏼
Nice round up. I am looking forward to getting the Punch during the next summer sales. Have been hearing good things about it and the tuning is very much to my taste 🎉
I totally agree with your take on "custom BA". My guess is that some where in China already make 1:1 replica of it. That's why they can't use name.
i find your videos very relaxed to watch, keep up the good work bro👐
The main man is back 🙌
Was very pleasantly surprised to see Tea Pro as a good walkaway set... It's one of the sets I'm looking at at the moment, just trying to figure out if it's quite enough bass for EDM. I see very different opinions on that - from people calling it very balanced and a bit too low in the bass, to others saying the bass is great, to yet others saying the bass is fine but the treble is sibilant. Hard to say, LOL. But I love the shells, wish more companies went this route.
Nice power list run down...unreal how fast this year zipped by.. Happy Holidays!
2024 has been amazing when it comes to great sets,so many to choose from 🔥
I so appreciate your knowledge and insight to the industry and products.
Thank you, this vids that I have been waiting for
WOW, so much outstanding information in this one video, thank you brother.
I haven't bought a new set in over 2 years not but I'm seriously considering getting the Tea2Pro..
Thanks for all you do for this hobby and I hope this finds you and yours doing great.
Merry Christmas, take care and God bless...
Impressive list 👌👍
great compilation!
Always great to see your transparency in your videos. Also agreed that the FatFreq thing is probably the worse CS I have ever seen in my life and I bought tons of things online. Also seeing Tea Pro here made me more sure that its probably gonna be my end game set, unless something better got released next year ofc 👀
Honestly, Kefine's Klean really moves the budget space a lot for people looking for a nice Harman inspired with bass.
I'm a bit surprised at the take on the Pula, I'm super happy with my PA02.
Thank you for the year end summary, and also calling out the bad in the industry.
Great video as usual. Keep doing what you're doing. It's always insightful and entertaining at the same time!
FatFreq really screwed up man. I am pleasingly surprised seeing you lash them though you had a collab with them. Kudos for your integrity
I enjoy your lists a lot so the year and wrap up is another great one
Im new in the hobby and really learning alot from your channel, thank you
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed! Been on the fence for a Delci, think goona grab one!
I couldn't agree more with your choice for the best new company. I have Ziigaat Cinno and I absolutely adore that set. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but out of all sets I own Cinno stands out and is used daily. I'm a bit surprised with your choice of the best affordable set. I expected inawaken dawn Ms but delci is also very good.
A lot of information. Thank for all of it. Nicely done.
Nice sum up! You are a good source of information too. Keep it up! Happy holiday to you and you family. 🎉
Really interested in the new BLON BLO3 ii. I am using OG Bl03, might be an upgrade. Hat's off for roasting FF even though you have colabration with them.
Great yearly sum up, thanks for all the vids this year, great job
Thanks for yet another year of awesome reviews
Happy Monday to you too HBB ❤
Thanks for the reviews this year. Thieaudio is great at any price and Linsoul still has great customer service.
Love these overview vids, really helpful to catch up on IEMs I might've missed. Completely agree on Thieaudio being top.
The addition category for "Best Influencers" was a nice touch. 👌
Thanks for the points!!
As usual, very helpful video - thanks!
Always like an honest take on things, and I am definitely looking forward to finding out what your favourite of year[ price to performance] is.

Great breakdown of 2024!! Fortunately, the less expensive iem's are getting better and better. Let's see what 2025 brings, It'll likely be crazy!!🍻
Pick a set and walk away, I did that by buying zs10 pro back in 2019 because of your review, and it's great until recently. It's not broken I just wanted another "sound" 😁
Great, it so good to hear ur experience this whole 2024 year, thank u
