holy sh your hair genetics are incredible bro XD i too am saving up for the explorer, that immersive tuning really seems my style man... especially for stuff like hans zimmer and orchestral pieces
This time I really agree with you. I really Love the Explorer. It so unique sounding. And for the info, I have receive my Estrella. Also love how it sound. Nice Jay 👌👍👍
@@AronAddams7 BTW I highly recommend the Letshuoer D13 on sale at Letshuoer store for under $50. It still sells for $120 elsewhere. The bass from the 13mm dynamic driver is really good.
The Explorer is amazeballs ... There are some very good sets in this bracket today. When I got into the hobby, the best under $100 were the Aria and Legacy 2.
Jay, Sir, you are indeed the master of the under 15-minute video! All your short-form videos, whether it be a review or a ranking list, have enough info to give most a good enough idea about an IEM, enough to know what they will be getting themselves into; and without making the video feel like it's been rushed or looking like its been "McGyvered" together at the last minute. I've yet to see anyone do it like you do. (*Do pardon the 90's pop culture reference. But if you've seen the show "McGyver" you know what i mean; hehehe...) And... To KZ and Tyvan Lam, if you are watching this video: The fact that Jay complimented the Hydro should mean a lot to you. Because that right there is an honest compliment, and not a kiss-ass statement. People are not criticizing your products for no reason. Do a good job and even your toughest critics(as long as they are really honest) will acknowledge you for it. You will not improve by giving an ear solely to ass-kissers. You don't grow by locking yourself inside an echo chamber.
That one you recommend me 2 days ago and I ordered them with FIIO KA13 dac. Finally The $100 King of the Hill is AFUL EXPLORER 👑🗿. Now waiting for its delivery.
I got my Explorer for $80 during prime day and it's been the best IEM purchase I have so far. Only issue for me is the pressure build up but it's a small price to pay
@@jayyaudio My set arrived today, and thank you! You are so right about the immersive and musical qualities of the Explorer--an amazing set for the price.
⭐ You killed the "DUDU" right off the start! You have loco ears Sir, seek medical attention. The DUDU is a killer planar IEM. Lets make that very clear.😍👍
I have the Tripowin x HBB Olina SE, and that's the last IEMs I've gotten so far. After listening to them, I thought it was going to be very difficult to match their quality (they beat the Hexa, overall). ... But just checking this list/tournament makes me want to try half of the IEMs in it.
With recent sale of AKG N5005 (refurb) for $99 (ebay) and Pula PA02 for $96 (amazon), those two are easily the best sub $100 for me, with slight edge to Pula. I guess they can also buzz sub $200 category too.
would recommend the aful explorers for genres that require a bit more engaging and exciting enough like J-pop? and when you mentioned about high volume scaling, isit like very loud?
@jayyaudio I'm with fh3 right now, and I can say it's much better than Moondrop Kato and Artii T10 technically. Imaging, soundstage, and instrument separation are really good in the fh3.
You speak really fast and in this format you compare pairs, makes it harder for me to go back to what you said about each set and compare sets in different brackets. In the tier list I can pause and move along he timeline to get all the info about each set at once. Just my preference... I'll still watch your other videos.
@@jayyaudioBC the comparison aren't random but based on what you prefer to compare knowing before hand what will win making it a biased comparison Tier list is better imo
These tournament style videos have been hitting hard enjoying em very much. Jay da goat .
Hehe
happy owner of AFUL EXPLORER ! this iem is just amazing. I now saving up for ESTRELLA as my next upgrade !
holy sh your hair genetics are incredible bro XD
i too am saving up for the explorer, that immersive tuning really seems my style man... especially for stuff like hans zimmer and orchestral pieces
I am excited about this category. It is a price category that has become good and offers a lot in the recent period. Good luck to you.
Bro didn't even need explainations or arguments between the Simgot and Singolo, lmao 😂
it is what it is
yep, everyone knows, its shit
Great video Jay! I have several of these IEMs and agree with your ranking. i have the LMs and the Explorer...both are fantastic!
$300 tournament when? :D
Enjoyed this episode 🎉🎉🎉
I’m a big fan of this series.
Awful Explorer takes the win for me too Jay. Awesome ranking video. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers 🍻.
Glad you enjoyed it

Nice comparision Jay. I own the Aful Explorer , the EA500LM and CLKVX 41 based on your reviews. All are very nice. Thanks.
Which one would you choose between explorer and cklvx 41?
@@AronAddams7 CKLVX sounds smoother and better overall. But explorer not too far behind.

Great vid! I have the Explorer and it is awesome
afully good job! I really enjoy explorer as well 🎉
Yup don’t sleep on Explorer
That was fun!
Even though it isn't my preferred tuning for my music library, I love my Xuan Nv, such a great "media" iem.
Thank 🙏🏾
I have the Explore & I agree
I approved of your Grand Champ! Still has a place in the company of giants IMO!
yessir
Yaay, Go team Explorer!
I would’ve liked to see the 7hz Sonus in this showdown
Great content! And I must be paying attention bc I was able to guess the whole finals! I wonder though how would the Artti T10 have placed?
Probably around the same as F1 pro since they’re pretty similar haha

The Explorer is very tempting; I don't have a set that graphs anything like it, so I think I'm going to have to check it out.
Dont forget to blast them!

I agree. Jay is incorrect.
too much ear gain, uppermids masking, and peaky treble, maybe I just got a bad unit but it sounds like it graphs

Hmm never seen the pula go lower than 120, lowest was $129

Not the best for jpop, and ya high volume
@@jayyaudio I see thanks! I might consider equing the upper mids if I get one
Mine was magic cuz they nailed it with 1 BA..wow..2nd was explorer...Peace!
No way em6l made it so far when it has nozzle break issues 🤭
Yup mine came off after taking off eartips. They need stronger glue
@@zblus I mean we expected more for a 100 IEM
Will the Aful Explorer fit energetic playlists with genres like J-Rock, Punk, & Phonk while still being immersive in Ambient/Shoegaze tracks?
At higher volumes ya
@@jayyaudio Any options for mid volume?
Its seems like my preferences in IEMs matches with you. I have the mh755 and Explorer.
Oh nice lol
Bring back JaysAudio with brim!
I was hoping finals would be Explorer and Legato... Lol..
If someone likes the tangzu wan'er type sound signature which of these would likely appeal to that sound
simgot ew300
I wonder if the 500lm successor is going the tribid way as well
Aful explorer vs simgot supermix 4 what would you choose between these two
Explorer for high volume, supermix4 for mid volume
Have you really heard the fiio fh3? It's technically a beast.
maybe a few years ago
@jayyaudio I'm with fh3 right now, and I can say it's much better than Moondrop Kato and Artii T10 technically. Imaging, soundstage, and instrument separation are really good in the fh3.
@@renatobdcI gave them a try, but sorry, they can't compete with the current market. I would even take the salnotes zero 2 over the fiio fh3.
ZiiGaat Arete #1 🔥
?
btw to be clear, you do need some kinda dac or amp for the explorer right? cuz it needs more power
Just needs to be able to drive it, most can
@@jayyaudio got it!
Brother! Why would you put the face cam overlay on top of the treble region in the graphs? Thanks for the vid, but that was... a choice.
bad choices were made xd
what if the EA500LM was on the other side against EM6L and EW300
Still 300 and 6l would be better BC some units of 500lm are just too bright
EM6L
@@jayyaudio just upgraded to SM4 though, think it's more detailed than EM6L and will stick with them, I know it's a bit more expensive but still
Will there be any $200 tournament?
I returned my Aful Explorers... For me, as with all other sub $150 IEMs I've tried, I felt that I'd rather save up for a better IEM...
Save your money for an IEM that's at least in the $250 - $300 range, I wouldn't waste my time on anything below that tbh.
👁👁
Which better for competitive for fps gaming aful explorer or simgot em6l thank you
EM6L
Do under 400 now
Is explorer really that good? People who bought please elaborate if you can
At high volume ya
@@jayyaudio waoow okay okay..
Are there enough Iems for the $150 or $300 division i wonder
Edit: Ey EM6L out here XD
Ye should be
Aming the ew 300 ,which one is good to get tye dsp or hbb or regular one ? Dsp cable isnt giod built quality so not able to decide
just get the HBB one
@@jayyaudio ok thanks
I had heard that the sound of the EW300 is cold, that the bass was not fun, how much truth is there in that?
Not cold, but if you want more bass I guess it's not as "fun"?
I find this format hard to follow. Please consider also making a tier list version.
