Pretty much the same as the Mk1, though with extra sub-bass presence.Ī smooth, relaxing listen (in custom form) backed up with good technicalities. A somewhat refined Moondrop S8.Ī rather simple and "mainstream" tuning refined to an extremely high level. More faithful to the Harman target compared to the A8, with a smoother bass response.īasically an Andromeda without the treble spike and slightly boosted midrange.Ī little shouty and intense but very resolving and well-defined. Lively and engaging with big clarity and detail, perhaps too much for someĮxtremely coherent signature with a pleasing tuning and high technicalities. The neutral "studio monitor" of qdc's 8-series of IEMs, lacking a bit in overall extension. The all-rounder of the IER lineup.Ī decent bassy set with the m15/m20 modules, but really shines with the mX modules. Neutral tonality, highly coherent and decent detail pickup. Recommended as a custom-fit.Ī Legend X with the bass properly controlled and the resolution one step higher. Good tonality, high resolution and an overall decent all-rounder.īest-in-class tuning and tonal balance with near-perfect coherency. Similar tunings across top tier models.Ī clean-sounding monitor with a bass boost near-exclusively in the sub-frequencies.Ī more correct sounding version of the Fourte with slight cutbacks in staging and sheer resolution. Reference tuning with good tonality and top-level resolution. I highly recommend against blind-buying and suggest to have a listen to the IEMs yourself. By all means, use this to shortlist what you should try in the future but don’t take it as gospel.Īmazing bass (for a BA), top-tier resolution and detail-oriented signature.Įxtended yet natural treble, realistic sub-bass focus and spacious imaging capabilities.

This is could be due to lack of interest or lack of enough ear time to make a proper decision on tier placement.

If you can tell, some of the IEMs on the database (that I’ve tried) are not in this list.A (non-complete) list of IEMs that I’ve tried can be found on my measurements database.Prices not directly available in USD are based off the exchange rate during the time of writing.

I will still be talking about them in my subreddit if I ever get the opportunity to try such units.
