$500 Audiophile Starter Guide (IEM Edition)

[@kimchi3600]

I love that you compare and contrast the same sets in different context. You'd think it gets repetitive but not at all to me at least, I welcome as many comparisons as possible as it's the best way to gauge the IEMs' characteristics rather than just hearing they have this and that amount of something. That being said, 7hz Timeless is mind blowing good to my ears, like an actual market breaker and I would loooooove to see you talk about them in comparison to everything else you talked about so far (I know you said you'll be getting them soon but I had to emphasize just how much I want to see you talk about them haha).

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks man, I was worried about it getting boring as well, glad people still enjoy it.

[@tonybowen455]

Got the timeless yesterday. Ordered kinera leyding cables and btr5. Thanks for the advice!

[@goodboid]

I'd throw in the Qudelix 5k in the mix, as an option for a good source. Best iem audio purchase I've made till date, just the parametric EQ alone is worth it.

[@Gizaudio]

I heard a lot about the Qudelix, I need to try it.

[@kenwaygg]

Got the btr7 + Moondrop blessing 2 love it

[@lunarbound9975]

Brilliant idea for content!! Also, thank you for the info on the new Kinera cable. I have an mmcx aftermarket cable that I alternate with (nymph), but not yet a 2-pin. Also, that dongle list is 🔥🔥🔥.

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks so much for the comment!

[@slobry]

Link for that mmcx cable good sir?

[@anab0lic]

just paired the hiby r5 saber with tanchjim oxygen and I'm in musical heaven right now.

[@Gizaudio]

Oxygen is sooooooo good.

[@lary90210]

Can you do a full video on the OH10s??

[@Gizaudio]

OH10s? I only know of the OH10

[@lary90210]

@@Gizaudio sorry, OH10’s!

[@amanrana3495]

Hey have been seeing your videos from long time. Love your reviews and expressions. Would you like to talk about portable amps, YK so one can use these IEMs while traveling with his phone

[@Gizaudio]

Thank you so much! I don't own that many portable amps so I'm really not an expert there, but I'd love to review more.

[@nowiseverything7334]

I am a complete beginner but can I use my Iphone with a apple dongle and a pair of blessing 2 dusks, and get good sound quality?

[@ernest4483]

Another great content Timmy, I will look into the Dusk or just go for the Moondrop Variation or Thieaudio Oracle but between Oracle or Variation which is better overall for vocals, bass, mids, highs and treble? And continue on making great content Timmy and have a great, wonderful, blessed, positive, productive and safe weekend. I was wondering if you are still making content for your fragrance channel (Imagine Scent)

[@Gizaudio]

For me.....I love the Oracle...it's so stunning for me. It's the only set I still listen to along side my flagships. As for imagine scent, something is coming.....something bitter sweet.

[@ricardocoloma-md]

Andy is the dongle boss

[@razetw]

Fh3 and dusk2 are a great combo thanks for the rec. That kinera cable looks killer. Will you do a 11/11 buying guide?

[@Gizaudio]

Yes I will :)

[@tea1880]

Funny how crin now has the eclipse (tuned fh3) alongside the b2 dusk xD

[@fachrieandikap9407]

“Don’t have anything at all and all they have is $500” That’s my life perfectly described.

[@Gizaudio]

lmao!

[@endshi3]

Hi, for rock, metal and subgenres, j-rock, pop, and a little bit classical music, what iem do you recommend? I could spend 600 usd.

[@krayozmines]

Dunu sa6, Moondrop Variations, 7hz timeless demo them to see which you like better.

[@saurabbbhardwaj1930]

Timmy, didn't know you work with crinacle, editing his videos?

[@kook7147]

Buy dusk

[@ImagineScent]

@@kook7147 different Timmy I think...

[@cdanny99]

@@ImagineScent nope, same timmy

[@Gizaudio]

Different, that Timmy is way more handsome.

[@-aexc-]

the q5k is much much better than the btr5 for anyone watching now. i had a btr5 and it had terrible bluetooth, to the point at which it would disconnect while walking with it clipped to my pants with my phone in my hands. this was not even including the fact that q5k has 20 band peq, is smaller and has a much much better app

[@kennethmatthewvillarias5229]

yeah... andy the dongle madness

[@Gizaudio]

He is awesome.

[@jaroslavfricek7772]

You the best Timmy….I want to ask one more IEM…Bgvp DM6… do you have some experience …✌️😁

[@Gizaudio]

have not tried that one yet. Maybe in the future.

[@hanayokoizomi9369]

Have you tried the new IEM like Moondrop KATO and 7hz Timeless?

[@Gizaudio]

Yes, both are price leaders.

[@R0b3rt2Yonas]

I'm surprised you didn't mention to utilize our own smartphone. Any reason behind that? Just curious. 🙏

[@Gizaudio]

With $500, you'd want to have a dac/amp setup for better sound quality.

[@angelolorenzoni]

Can you do a +-$2000 Audiophile Starter Guide (IEM Edition)

[@Gizaudio]

Yes.....

[@Foobymaster1]

Just to let you know, andy has said he is done with dongle reviews. Number 100 was his last one.

[@Gizaudio]

nnoooo that's sad.

[@miyamotomushashi180]

Where does 7hz timeless rank?

[@OptLab]

He was supposed to receive it but hasn't come yet

[@Gizaudio]

Timeless should have been in this list....

[@ВасилНанков-р6о]

NF NA2 + is missing...

[@Gizaudio]

I have it, just came in.

[@oleandrograna2518]

O2 vs Dusk?

[@Gizaudio]

Dusk

[@qayyim3299]

Dongle madness

[@Gizaudio]

Love it

[@glbernini0]

If you can find an IE300 that hasn't had the right side sound fail, your very lucky! Sennheiser won't stand behind anything.

[@tcc5750]

I love m3x. Them waifus!

[@mib5633]

i love you too :D

[@Gizaudio]

lol thanks!

[@huckfin1100]

If anyone spends more then $150 for IEMs they have spent way too much ! Music was recorded once it doesn't sound better the more you spend, just my opinion of course !

[@krayozmines]

if good sound can be reached for less than $150, then yes going over that is spending too much. a lot of people's favourite iems happen to be priced higher than that though. therefore the "better sound" that they subjectively are looking for is indeed more than $150 so for people like me i dont mind spending more if i enjoy it. nice to see someone like you though. u remind me to be grateful for sub $100 gear. many iems around that price point still sound so good!
