@@MisterRhul every month or two there's a best one without an aparent real justification. Just stick with what you've got, use eq and save a truck load of money. Trust me. Been there, done that. 😀
I received the KLEAN the day before yesterday. Man it sounds super good for the price point. I think this will be a good companion even under $100 price bracket. Will compare it with Titan S2 in my review.
@@TheVeganVicarthe Klean is not an upgrade on the Delci. There's a reason why it's $40 cheaper. Lower specced driver, lower specced cable, and the shells on the Delci is better.
@TheVeganVicar yes just keep both. The Klean is still good. The Delci is just a better listening experience for me personally. And it feels more premium.
Can you tell me in terms for imaging how this iem compares to Truthear Zero (Blue). I heard that iem is one of the best for gaming in the price. I also play fps games quite a lot, so imaging is relatively important for me. I am about to order this iem. I heard many good things about this iem, if you have any better suggestions, please let me know of those as well.
Yes, these have significantly wider sound stage and travel response than the EW300. There are some minor details the EW300 can extract, but without the sound stage, they are irrelevant. They are lost with other details. Personally, I find the EW300 over hyped. They sound great if you have never heard anything else.
How does this IEM do with male vocals if I prefer something that sounds natural but with some forwardness/clarity? For reference, I currently use IEMs like the Nuo and the Delci. Natural and accurate vocals are most important to me, with a bit of forwardness and clarity. The Delci presented them well, but the bass colored the vocals just a bit too much for my liking.
The vocal tonality is similar to the Delci, with a slightly warm sound, but the Klean has better vocal clarity and timbre, making the vocals sound more natural and realistic.
@@Gizaudio Great, thanks for this! Will definitely consider this one going forward. The black nozzle, I would assume would sound less warm than the silver?
@@hmf33 The black nozzle filter does make the sound a bit less warm and emphasizes the vocals more. However, I prefer the silver nozzle because it sounds more balanced and is less fatiguing during long listening sessions. Let me know your thoughts if you ever get a chance to try it. I was impressed with this set!
@@hmf33 The earpieces are slightly bigger than those of the Chu 2, but I find the fit and comfort of the Klean to be better due to the shape of the earpiece. As you can see in the video, the earpiece is thin and flat, allowing it to rest nicely against your ear without feeling bulky.
Hmm, that's a tough choice, as both IEMs sound fantastic. The Hexa has a more neutral sound signature and a safe tuning, while the Klean has a warmer sound with more bass.
It's a tough choice. They are different. The Truthear Red and Blue are excellent IEMs at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, the Blue has a Harman tuning, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. All three IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're excellent overall.
For me, 5 stars represent perfection, including the accessories, cable, and faceplate design. The amount of bass and the slight warm tonality of the Klean might not appeal to everyone, so 4.5 stars felt more realistic to me.
Nice Review, what do you think grooves and boogies hardest for Funk/Salsa/etc, between Klean, Que, and Ew300? What makes you tap your foot the most? Appreciate It.
The S08 is in a different price range and, being a planar, has different sound qualities. It has a more relaxed listen with slightly darker tuning. The Klean, on the other hand, has more vocal forwardness. They each have unique sound signatures, catering to different preferences.
I enjoyed watching your review. I love the Delci. It is hard to imagine that the Klean has better imaging and a somewhat more detailed midrange for less money.
I know, right? I expected the Delci to sound better, but nope! The Klean feels like a refined or improved Delci. Even the treble is smoother and more natural.
@@shuvroshokaal2629 I still have not purchased the Klean. Yet two reviewers who a really trust have told me that the Klean does perform somewhat better than the Delci. I think this is interesting since the Klean costs less.
In your opinion would I be missing out in much going for this vs Aful Explorer? Atm have OG 7hz Zeroes so I'm guessing an upgrade either way. Previously had Chus and Zero Blue and much prefer tuning of 7hz and Chus over Zero Blue, if you need to understand my preference.
In my opinion, the Explorer is the better choice. The bass quality is more refined, with improved detail and separation. It offers a relaxed, enjoyable listening experience with solid detail that gets even more engaging at higher volumes. If I had to pick one, I’d go with the Explorer. The Klean, though, is impressive for its price.
I prefer the Klean over the SIVGA Que. While the Que sounds warmer, the Klean has more sub-bass rumble, better bass quality, better imaging, smoother treble, and better timbre.
@@Gizaudio it’s a crazy competetive market for those iem companies. In the end it’s a great thing to us, music enthusiasts. I came back to iems after being a headphone guy for 14-15 years. The advancement in both quality and comfort ( venting etc ) is waaaay better than a decade ago. These „talking pebbles” represent a crazy value nowadays. Heck I do own Focal Azurys and they are gathering dust while I reach for the Sivga Que 80% of the time…
got a coupon that i can use on the ew300 bringing it down to the same price as the klean, and i look the look of the ew300 more would you say the tuning and technical performance is similar enough to just go with what looks cooler?
The Klean, like most IEMs, is sensitive and easy to drive, so any improvement in soundstage or imaging with a balanced connection is likely minor, if noticeable at all. The 3.5mm jack works great for most IEMs, and I don’t hear much difference aside from a bit more power and, occasionally, a subtle improvement in imaging and soundstage. It also depends on your amp, if your amp performs better with a balanced output, you might notice a difference. Personally, I think it sounds excellent on the 3.5mm, so I wouldn’t worry about it unless you’re keen to try a balanced cable. If so, go for it!
@Gizaudio .. yes I'll get one. Coz I noticed there are single dd that works well with 4.4. Btw I just got the delci ae a few weeks ago. Haha. But I like the kefine house sound so i think it's worth getting the kleen . Thank you
i like m17 with the power supply, worth not buying anything else imo it sounds like fiio, in highest quality, good imaging smooth, balanced overall, not too good in soundstage but highend enough
I have been using the truthear x crinacle reds for a week now and i don’t really find it enjoying and engaging, i find the sound really…….. not fun😭😭 I also have samsung galaxy buds 2 and really like them, the bass the clarity at high ends the separation b/w left and right channel and i was also using the tangzu wan’ers and liked them too because of the fun sound and punchy bass.

I use them with the ifi go link dac and thinking of upgrading it. PLEASE HELP I’M REALLY CONFUSED HERE😭
No need to sell the Delci if you're happy with it. To me, the Klean sounds better. It's like a more refined Delci with improved vocal clarity, better imaging, and more natural treble and timbre. The level of detail is similar, but the Klean has a bit more vocal clarity.

Hi, interesting review. I notice you, and many other reviewers, couch attributes and features with phrases like, "for the price." That's fine, but how does this pair punch against pricier products if we had a choice? And taking it one step further, what other IEMs would you rec that's better for more money? Make sense? Thanks!
As you move up in price, you typically start seeing IEMs with hybrid drivers and typically but not necessarily have better bass, more detail and separation, and better soundstage. At even higher price points, you might find EST drivers, which have a unique treble quality. “Better” really depends on the sound signature and price range. For example, I find the PULA PA02 and the Explorer to be better than the Klean. The Explorer has better bass quality and both have more detail than the Klean. Taking it a step further, the P7 has even more detail, improved separation, and enhanced treble. However, the Klean is appealing for its sound quality at this price and actually outperforms some higher-priced IEMs.
@@Gizaudio soooo... it 'outperforms' some higher priced IEMs nobody recommends, buys or wants? does it outperform the Hexa, for example? if not, this non-argument is BS and useless
Exactly, the impressive part here is the sound quality and detail you’re getting for the price. Once you go over $100, there are other IEMs that might sound better, or at least more detailed.
I want the Kefine Klean, but the delivery window is when I'm on a cruise, so I'm going to wait until around Thanksgiving time to pick it up. Awesome review!
Will i buy delci og or klean? I am a former dunu kima user and recently have lost it..i was a fan of kima. Please help me to choose one as i don’t have enough budget to buy a kima again
Can I ask for type of video that I just haven't seen, I think, at all? I like imaging and stage on iems, things that for long time iems struggled with. So, I suggest a price bracket theme top iem video on imaging and staging. Also, I cant thank you enough for your work. I got mine Starfields on Timmys OK, years ago. I did ask and he responded, for price at that time, those were best. Thank you again Timmy!
@Gizaudio Well, yeeeiii! My budget is probably again gonna be under $150usd. And, as Starfields are still holding their own, dogs don't age as iems do these days. On other hand, I still like Roger Waters.
The Kefine Delci AE is essentially the same as the Delci, but with a 4.4mm balanced cable and a Gold Nozzle that boosts the upper mid-range. The Kefine Klean also has a black filter nozzle that enhances the upper mid-range, similar to the Gold Nozzle on the Delci AE. However, the Klean has better imaging, smoother treble, and more natural vocals and timbre. The level of detail is very similar between the Klean and Delci AE, but the Klean doesn't come with a balanced cable.
The Truthear Red is another excellent IEM at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. Both IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're both excellent overall.
is it better than truthear zero red? espically with hte adapter cuz they looks very similar in graph i wanna get zero red cuz its vocal natural and with the bass adapter i get new sound signature which is also really good but i also like the big and great imaging soundstage separation etc So i dont know

@@Gizaudio Wouldn't the red be also warm with the adapter so basically same tuning as klean? They both can be natural or warm with adapter or nozzles so its really confusing choice Would appreciate if u tell me the better choice here
If you want to use the DSP, go for the EW300 DSP. However, if you're planning to use it in analog mode, it sounds similar to the EW300, which I compared in the video.

Could I get some help picking a portable dac from anyone pls? I am looking for a portable dac that can push at least 300mw @32ohms, whether that be out of the 3.5 or the 4.4 balanced. I am trying to find as portable of a dac as possible to run the binary acoustic DynaQuattro at it's best. So, based on what I have read and seen in reviews, 350mw would give good headroom, but 300mw is just right and anything less than that you will start to get muddy or veiled sound.
@@fathanthoriq2413 Only time will tell. The nozzle is similar to that of the Delci and Delci AE, and I’ve never had any issues with either of them, nor have I heard of anyone else experiencing problems with the Delci.

However, the Klean is appealing for its sound quality at this price and actually outperforms some higher-priced IEMs.
@@Gizaudio soooo... it 'outperforms' some higher priced IEMs nobody recommends, buys or wants?
does it outperform the Hexa, for example? if not, this non-argument is BS and useless
Sounds soo good..but then. Its super good cos it performs above uts price...still...no where near a 500 dollar iem...as i a good one
Exactly, the impressive part here is the sound quality and detail you’re getting for the price. Once you go over $100, there are other IEMs that might sound better, or at least more detailed.
I want the Kefine Klean, but the delivery window is when I'm on a cruise, so I'm going to wait until around Thanksgiving time to pick it up. Awesome review!
Thanks! Hopefully you get it soon.
Will i buy delci og or klean?
I am a former dunu kima user and recently have lost it..i was a fan of kima.
Please help me to choose one as i don’t have enough budget to buy a kima again
Delci AE > Klean > Delci. AE and Klean are the Delci but with an extra tuning option.
Can I ask for type of video that I just haven't seen, I think, at all? I like imaging and stage on iems, things that for long time iems struggled with. So, I suggest a price bracket theme top iem video on imaging and staging.
Also, I cant thank you enough for your work. I got mine Starfields on Timmys OK, years ago. I did ask and he responded, for price at that time, those were best. Thank you again Timmy!
Thanks for the suggestions, man! That’s a great idea. I’ll try to make a similar video in the future.
@Gizaudio Well, yeeeiii! My budget is probably again gonna be under $150usd. And, as Starfields are still holding their own, dogs don't age as iems do these days. On other hand, I still like Roger Waters.
Kefine Klean vs Artti T10?
Personally, I prefer the Klean.
How does the sound differ from the delci ae that has nozzle options too?
The Kefine Delci AE is essentially the same as the Delci, but with a 4.4mm balanced cable and a Gold Nozzle that boosts the upper mid-range. The Kefine Klean also has a black filter nozzle that enhances the upper mid-range, similar to the Gold Nozzle on the Delci AE. However, the Klean has better imaging, smoother treble, and more natural vocals and timbre. The level of detail is very similar between the Klean and Delci AE, but the Klean doesn't come with a balanced cable.
@Gizaudio so you're saying that overall the kleen is a better iem than the delci?
@@boyseverino528 In my opinion, yes.
@@Gizaudio thanks
@@boyseverino528 You're welcome.
will you guys review ziigat arete?
It’s not on my radar right now, but I might consider it in the future.
This or Zero:Red? (When it comes to K-pop and J-pop type of songs)
The Truthear Red is another excellent IEM at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. Both IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're both excellent overall.
is it better than truthear zero red? espically with hte adapter cuz they looks very similar in graph
i wanna get zero red cuz its vocal natural and with the bass adapter i get new sound signature which is also really good
but i also like the big and great imaging soundstage separation etc
So i dont know
The Truthear Red is another excellent IEM at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. Both IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're both excellent overall.
@@Gizaudio
Wouldn't the red be also warm with the adapter so basically same tuning as klean?
They both can be natural or warm with adapter or nozzles so its really confusing choice
Would appreciate if u tell me the better choice here
With bass adaptor truth ear red,s naturalness will go, you will not find wow factor with adaptor...
Go with klean
@@mohammadbaqer8305 The Kefine Klean has more bass and sounds slightly warmer compared to the Truthear Red when using the bass impedance adapter.
These or Delci ae , ew300 for vocal lover
Kefine klean is most valuable of this group?
These. The Kefine Klean offers the most natural-sounding vocals and is the best value.
klean or ew300 dsp
Delci AE
If you want to use the DSP, go for the EW300 DSP. However, if you're planning to use it in analog mode, it sounds similar to the EW300, which I compared in the video.
@@Gizaudio i got extra cable for pc thats why i asked
btw is it better than ew200 and compared to tangzu wan'r sg
This or the letshuoer S08? I like subbass.
The S08 is in a different price range and, being a planar, has different sound qualities. It has a more relaxed listen with slightly darker tuning. The Klean, on the other hand, has more vocal forwardness. They each have unique sound signatures. The Klean has better sub-bass extension.
@Gizaudio the one with better Subbass extension wins 💪🏻
Hey, can you compare it with Truthear Hexa
How is it compared to moondrop aria og 2021?
Tried them, the 8k and 16k peaks make them unusable for me, since I only listen to metal.
This or hexa?
Hmm, that's a tough choice, as both IEMs sound fantastic. The Hexa has a more neutral sound signature and a safe tuning, while the Klean has a warmer sound with more bass.
How is it when compared with Zero Red
It's a tough choice. The Truthear Red is another excellent IEM at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. Both IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're both excellent overall.
@@Gizaudio what about the zero red with the adapter ?
cuz it will give more bass and become warmer too
@@mohammadbaqer8305 The Kefine Klean has more bass and sounds slightly warmer compared to the Truthear Red when using the bass impedance adapter.
This or xuan ji?
I haven’t heard the Xuan Ji, so I can’t speak to its sound.
Great review
Thanks!
@@Gizaudio though I would've liked a comparison with the direct best recommendation from Timmy, the Zero Red
@@cloaca1234 The Truthear Red is another excellent IEM at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. It really comes down to which sound signature you prefer. Both IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're both excellent overall.
@@Gizaudio awesome man! I'm buying these for my old man, so that I can try them out and check if I prefer these or the Reds. :) thanks a lot for the answer
@@cloaca1234 You're welcome.
This one, sivga que or aful explorer, kiwi ears canta?
Klean
The AFUL Explorer has better bass, detail, and separation, but the Klean has more forward and lively vocals. I also prefer the Klean over the SIVGA Que. While the Que sounds warmer, the Klean has more sub-bass rumble, better bass quality, better imaging, smoother treble, and better timbre. I haven't tried the Canta, so I can't comment on its sound.
@@Gizaudio then it will be the Klein for me, especially because the aful is double the price.
The Explorer is better than both, as it should because it costs the Delci and Klean combined.
This or the Shangling MG20?
This.
Thanks
You're welcome 🙂
How does it fair against the truthear red?
same question
The Truthear Red is another excellent IEM at this price point. The Red has a more neutral sound, while the Klean has a warmer tone with more bass and better imaging. The Klean's treble also sounds more natural. Both IEMs have a similar level of detail, and they're both excellent overall.
Where is Timmy?
He “retired” a few weeks ago. He’s done with IEM reviews.
He joined the hangout, crinacle's retail store. He stopped to avoid conflict of interests.
Could I get some help picking a portable dac from anyone pls?
I am looking for a portable dac that can push at least 300mw @32ohms, whether that be out of the 3.5 or the 4.4 balanced. I am trying to find as portable of a dac as possible to run the binary acoustic DynaQuattro at it's best. So, based on what I have read and seen in reviews, 350mw would give good headroom, but 300mw is just right and anything less than that you will start to get muddy or veiled sound.
ONIX Alpha XI1, FiiO KA15, KA17, Celeste CD-20, or the upcoming FiiO BTR17. These all have over 300mW at 32 ohms, so there's plenty of headroom.
Nice, but quite sibilant for me.
I guess It's KLEAN winner for 50 bucks 😀
😀
Do you think this will have some clogging problem?
What do you mean?
@@Gizaudio i mean channel imbalance, because of moisture build up. Like Chu 2
@@fathanthoriq2413 Only time will tell. The nozzle is similar to that of the Delci and Delci AE, and I’ve never had any issues with either of them, nor have I heard of anyone else experiencing problems with the Delci. As far as I know, that issue was specific to the Chu 2. In the worst-case scenario, you can always clean it with some isopropyl alcohol wipes.
@@Gizaudio thank you
@@fathanthoriq2413 You're welcome.
Kefine Klean vs Moondrop May ? 🤔
This or Xuan Nv 🙄
Xuan NV is poor-fitting in my case. :(
The Xuan Nv doesn't have much sub-bass for me. It has great treble and "shimmer" on high end though
@@albertko1, that was DEFINITELY my own experience also, but more to do with the fact that I was unable to achieve a proper fit, due to the angle of the nozzles.
@@TheVeganVicar 👀
I haven't tried the Xuan NV, so I can't speak to its sound.
Nozzle >5.9mm ... discarded
Most IEM nozzles are wider than 5.9mm.
Great review. You sad everyting in 10 minutes.
Thanks, man!
Slow down brother, you’re still coming in clear and descriptive but you’re speaking pretty fast.
Sounded fine to me
Thanks for the feedback, man. I was trying to keep the video short, but I’ll make sure to slow down next time. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Dont pretend you can't control the playback speed genius
@@brownwallet942You can slow down the video but the audio gets filled with artefacts.
Not impressive. 50$ for single dd iem? I'd rather get 5 KZ iems.
Then go and get 5 KZ Iems I think you can get even 10 KZ IEMs for 50 tho 😆
3/10 ragebait
nice try but too obv
@@Flaszeczka1He'll never become an audiophile with the KZ's 😂
Hmm.
Kz is a bad brand tbh
