Great comparison Tony! my favorite of the bunch is the 4U, it just has that certain Tanchjim driver texture that comes with their DMT design. I even listen on the next to lowest bass setting because I want those delicious mids to come forward even more. It's also one of the only IEMs with a treble spike where I think it actually works, it adds a sparkle that makes the mids even better. I would advise anyone with this set to try a lower bass setting than you normally would and then try a bass-enhancing cable (something with a strong copper base) alongside it. NiceHCK Orangesir sounds great on the 4U, it takes it from lean and clean to clean with bite and punch!
Kefine usually heavily discounts their products during sales, my delci OG was 55$ on sale instance. If this gets to under 40, it will be very difficult to beat
greetings, i currently own the Moondrop Kato and am looking for a new pair from that baseline, i narrowed it down to Aful Explorer, Kinera Relentless and SM4, Considering they are PRICED SIMILARLY in my region, which one should i choose or like what different flavours does each of them bring to the table ? would like your advice as i have a limited Sale period in my region 🙏
@@mrigankadeyMD SM4 is the right one to go for. Explorer is great but less technical than SM4. As for Relentless it's fun , but can't compete with either SM4 or Explorer
@@akros9333 in terms of Res/tech is relentless inferior to Explorer ? Incase i don't like SM4 as a backup which one i should go for ? Thanks for replying
I've heard the Explorer extensively (was very impressed) and own the SM4. My advice is don't chase tech all the time. I like my SM4 and it still impresses on detail when I use it, but it is sharp in the treble more than sometimes. My delci therefore gets the majority use
@@miscwork-qb7pd yeah true that, that's why i was looking into kinera relentless and explorer, its just that i already listen to the Kato a lot, And SM4 doesn't intrest me that much. However i don't want to spend almost similar money to get an inferior product, so few reviewers have commented on the relentless compared to its near price segment like explorer making choice harder.
Hey Akros, would you say this is a decent upgrade from the Nuo if I want to keep it cheap? I'm looking for a set that presents male vocals accurately/naturally with a bit of clarity and forwardness. I have the Delci as well, and it's good, but I find it presents vocals just a bittt warm for my liking. I heard these Kleans lean more neutral while vocals still sound natural and have a bit of energy behind them.
Hi, not relevant to this video, but I was wondering what diameter filters you used for the xuan nv? I'm having the same filter imbalance issue you had, so I was wondering which size i should get.
Tony, i like a warm sounding iem, with no harshness in treble region but a nice clear sound, with natural mids, i am searching yhe best option between the Sivga Que, Aful explorer, Inawaken ms Dawn, Tangzu Xuan nv or Letshuoer s08….. i listen a lot of electronica music like trance classics, deephouse etc.. what would you recommend and why?
Get Ew300 and put double foams which is given in box in silver nozzle, very smooth yet clear sounding, amazing bass and vocals. Hard to beat under 200Usd
The question is : Do these iems justify their prices against a KZ castor Harman or EDC pro for example ???My Castor Bass is very capable for 13..bucks..An other thing i would like to mention is that i think Tony you should have been a bit more analytical for the PRX and how its planar driver stucks up against tje good dd driver of the Kefines..Is it more technically capable- impressive or they are in the same ballpark?For example i ve noticed that my t 10 gives me more the sensation that the sound comes around- out of my head than my dd iems..
More drivers in an iem, don't always means bad sound, tbh I think if you're new on this, and you already bought an iem like kz, you should try other options, KZ for me it's not Bad, but it's not the best at all, so yes, their price you're paying it's what you're getting (srry for my bad English)
@lospapusv5661 Buy an EDC PRO for 5$ believe me they are very worth it.I have also Hydro I'm not so new in the hobby I had also 41t but I lost them and other KZs DFi zero2 etc.Hydro is amazing value but the fit it's not good at least for me.Very analytical with very punchy tight bass
@@anatol1204 bro, i had an EDC pro and a kz cadtor before, you're right, for $5-15 they're really worth it, becouse any other earphone or headphone (not iems) is going to sound that good, but you can't compare it to other iems that cost almost the same, for example kz castor and moondop chu 2 I think moondop chu 2 has better performance and better sound overall
Whats up Tony!! Era interessante tambem estar ai o recente lancamento da TANGZU, YuXuanJi… O design e construção está 👌🏼 Mas por o que ja vi parece bastante aguçado nas frequencias altas!! Ahh mas saiu um que parece ainda mais atrevido, Shanling MG20 😬
@@masterazlan6999 Thieaudio currently doesn't have a decent single DD......so to compare Thieaudio hybrids or tribrids to these single DD is a little pointless, although if I have to talk in terms of value/Perfomeance ratio the Delci is much better than any Thieaudio in my opinion.

Kefine Klean is a fantastic offering for the price. Good review Akros.
Quality of content from Akros is just out of this world.
A great breakdown and some realistic honesty.

That would be too hard for me to resist. I don't need another sub $100 single DD.
Very unfortunate. This kind of shite isnt available in india
@lavatr8322 you're missing a lot of fun 😅
What are you saying ? You can still get these in India 😅@@lavatr8322
guess what... It is currently 38.86$ on Aliexpress AFTER TAXES. 😂
Very good review, keep up the good work
Thank you for your review! Can you provide your favorite IEMs in different price ranges and the reasons why you like them?
It's nice that the KZ PRX is here.
It is currently for 38.86$ on aliexpress if you apply the -6$ coupon... AFTER TAXES!.
For less than 39$ i don't think it gets better than this😂
Hi there I just got my klean and I am watching this before listening to music. Kefine really does know what they are doing. Excellent review. Thanks
I have a few good single DD sets at the moment so I think I'll go with the the PRX for now
Thank you for a great video comparison. Would you recommend the Klean or the EW300 DSP?
Putting up Tinhifi T3 Plus against this, how would you rate the two, especially in soundstage, imaging and detail retrieval?
Which kefine product have the best bass quality & quantity?
how does this compare to HZSound Heart Mirror (with tuning filter on the bass vent) and the Simgot SM4?
나는 출시하기전에 받았습니다 너무 좋습니다
I would totally buy a Pula PA01 if there were any for sale anywhere lol
Conch best IEM from TRN? hmm. Not enough bass for me. I prefer the Orca. ST7 is ok but weirdly warm in the mids (improved by cable rolling)

This iem you review. Or juzer clear. In bass side.
Buddy you need to change your mic. The sounds goes up and down all the time
Maybe it because of the reviewer, when he speaks, his head is moving back because of the recoil
