I've sold all the iems I had, including the U4S and Monarch MK2, leaving only the Pula PA02 and Studio4. I feel like these 2 iems are more than enough for my song playlist.
I just purchased the MagicOne for 59$ (thanks to 10$ coupon I earned, by subscribing to Hifigo in various social platforms), shipping included. I hope I made a good deal (also I needed a 4,4mm cable, so I had 2 reason to buy it). Watching several reviews they were considered a bit overpriced (considering the technicalities), 99~109$ would be its correct price. But still, 59$ "sounds good"... I hope I'll enjoy them, coz I have no shop around my place to test them.
Would you recommend the Elysian Pilgrim or Dusk more? I want to get a pair with great details, imaging and soundstage. If I did get the Dusk, I would be using it analog and wouldn't touch the DSP since it'd be hooked up to my PC through my interface. With the sales right now I could get them at the exact same price (for $5 extra could get the 4.4 cable because of coupons). For reference I currently daily the EA500s and love the sound of them, the treble isn't too bright to me. The nicest pair I've used are the OG black Kiwi Ears Orchestra, I love the details, but they do lack any bass and are a tiny bit too airy.
@@keiz_ from your description studio will be better for you, it miss only deep bas but stage and details much bettet, if you neef same details quslity but with bass, chose hisenior mega 5
In analog mode, the Pilgrim has a bit more detail than the Dusk, so if you're after more detail and resolution, the Pilgrim's a great pick. But the Dusk has that DSP option with a few extra EQ profiles. Even if you’re not using it now, it's a cool feature to have if you like to tweak your sound. Based on what you're describing, I’d suggest checking out the Softears Studio 4.
I am with so much doubt what too choose right now, i like warms sounding iems with a bit of clarity, and good timbre, i loved the blon 03 . I know it has got to be the sivga que, ew300, kefine klean or cca hydro. What would be the safest option?
I'm surprised the Kinera Celest Relentless wasn't in the list. I just ordered these because of the graph and your review was instrumental in my decision. Thank you. Normally $170, I got it yesterday at $89 with $12 off coupon for $77 plus tax. 🤯
I wonder how different the Pula Anvil is compared with the UM Mest OG which also has a BCD plus airy and spacious sound. Have you tried the Mest before, Axel?
I’ve never listened to the MEST OG, but I do have the MEST MK III, which uses a piezoelectric bone conduction driver. I’d say the MEST MK III is more holographic and immersive, though the presentation is different. I think the frequency response of the MEST MK III also plays a big role in that. The Anvil sounds spacious, but the sound feels more like it's in your head or skull, if that makes sense. But with the MEST MK III, I don’t get the feeling that the sound is in my head.
After breaking my n-th IEM cable, busting the female pin connector of the EM6L, having my KZ Castor Bass edition completly going silent and my Chu 2 left without a cable. JUST THIS YEAR. I have finally given up and moved on to TWS. If anyone shares this story and wants a great deal for a TWS, I have managed to pick a FiiO FW5 for about 60 dollars after a -40% discount. And there seem to be quite few more. I have not tried it before, but the reviews say its crazy good and I am pretty hyped, so maybe this will be useful information for any of you.
@Gizaudio Thanks for the great job. I have a request, I bought Dynaquattro and I think it's great. Very nice and natural sound timbre, nice subbass, nice midrange and a bright but not sibilant soprano. I like them very much, but they are a bit too big. I'm considering other iems but with a similar DD sound. Aful 5+2 or Anvil 114. Can these iems compete with Dynaquattro? I'm afraid that the trebles may have timbre like BA, PZT like in SM4, Estrella or KE4. Dynaquattro doesn't have this, could Aful or Anvil be an option for DQ?
They can definitely compete in a lot of areas, but the P5+2 and Anvil have totally different tunings and sound signatures from the DynaQuattro, so they don’t really sound alike. The DQ has a unique sound, with a natural timbre that’s hard to find in other IEMs at this price.
@@Gizaudio Or maybe BGVP DMA or Meze Alba? I don't know, maybe you can recommend something that doesn't sound dry and thin in the midrange and treble like the SM4, but with a signature similar to the Dynaquattro?
Just make sure to get the Jade version, it has better build quality than the old White or Black models (the glue is quite old and after a while the IEM disassembles itself but it's fixable, Jade is more reliable in that regard)
That’s a really tough choice. If I went with the DaVinci, it’d be for the enjoyable bass. For everything else, I’d choose the P7. But if I had to pick one, I’d go with the DaVinci.
Hey Axel, What does sponsorship by Hifigo actually involve? Cash payment? Free gear? It's important for people watching to understand the dynamics of your relationship with this sponsor. Full transparency would be greatly appreciated.
Certainly? I’ll not choose the da Vinci because it smells full of advertisement. Instead of paying that much for it I can go for Sennheiser ie 600. Of course this is my personal opinion. Great video! Thanks!
@@JoIhnnyRage you can go and buy davinci for perfect sound for you. I just told my personal opinion. If you did not like my comment you go and f yourself okay?
U sponsor gizaudio, then it'll be no more adverte of hifigo. As easy as that 👀 Jokes aside, people need to pay their bills. If this advert makes u dislike this channel, then nothing they can do. Just i found the reason pretty funny.
Basically all the IEMs channels are uploading a video sponsored by HifiGo lol. With this one I have watch 4 of them. And ofc all of them talking about almost the same models...
There are plenty of great deals on desktop DACs and amps. I just didn’t want the video to run too long. The SMSL RAW-MDA1 is one of them. It’s a fantastic value and is transparent.
Dude, for already 10 years all sale seasons are fake ones. Everywhere. And everybody knows that. When you see "80% discount" with a final price which was an ordinal one a month before. Pls. Don't waste your time
Interesting thought process. If you look at Razer for example, their stuff go up to -50% off during Black Friday and whatnot. Are they a brand with no credibility? In general, not talking about audio specifically as their audio is pretty a$$. I am more disappointed when i see all the hype around 11.11 and all you get is -5/10% off which you get every other week anyways. Unfortunately, with Chi-Fi its mostly hype - same deals from 1st to 7th of November, price gauge from 8th to 10th and then lower the price back to the same 5-10%. And their profits are astronomical to begin with. Do you think ThieAudio is "that much better" than ZiiGaat? Nope, yet you pay twice the price. Can they discount the Oracles for example to -50% and still make profit? Undoubtedly.
I've sold all the iems I had, including the U4S and Monarch MK2, leaving only the Pula PA02 and Studio4. I feel like these 2 iems are more than enough for my song playlist.
Wow. The Pula PA02 does hold upz I agree!
The Studio 4 is truly something special.
@Gizaudio I b3lieve you! I am getting MEGA5-EST in the mail tomorrow, I chose that one first, as I am not made of unlimited money. 😁

MagicOne at $70 is a hella bargain.
Do you guys prefer the moondrop dawn pro or the fiio ka13 for a budget dongle during the sale (for non fixed cable)
Go with the FiiO KA13 if you need extra power, but the Dawn Pro is the better value.
What you recommend for like a begginer iem that has good clarity and good amount of base for like 50-100$ i was thinking of the kefine klean
Kefine Klean.
What do you think about tangzu waner, is worth buying for 7 usd? I would use it mainly for K-pop.
I think it is great. Worth it for 7 USD.

Also what iem under $700 would you suggest for high female vocals like those in kpop. Trying to get away from sibilance and scratchy trebles.
Tanchjim Origin, DUNU SA6 MK II, and Softears Studio 4.

They sound different.
I was able to get a good deal on the on Fiio BTR17, do I need the Klean if I already have the Delci and the Draco ?
I’d say no. If you already have the Delci, the Klean would be redundant unless you’re planning to sell the Delci.

crinicle zero is trash iem get any 20$ one it will be more balanced
