I love the OH10 and the 10S. I'm on third set - and like the first 2 these have fallen apart. The clam shell splits apart. Sure, if the internals don't fail with the separation, you can superglue them back together. I've auditioned so many $200 -$250 IEMs and can't find anything I like. The Kato sounds so thin by comparison. Still looking... Good work Dave thanks.

[@MannyScoot]

Sorry brother but to beat the damn OH10 is tough......I replaced my Moondrop Variations for the OH10.....They are that good !

[@beepover]

Olinas and mele are fantastic iems. I have well over a dozen iems. The S12 was incredibly sillibant. Tried different tips, cables, daps and even eq which I normally never do. Ultimately I returned them via Amazon.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

I'm glad you enjoy the Mele and Olina. We all hear different, thanks for the impressions of the S12.

[@carminedesanto6746]

Good review and your right about the OH10’s..it’s the King Kong in my IEM’s stable ..and yes I’ve got both the OH10’s and the KATO …btw the Midnight and the Olina are my 2022 iem buys of the year ….so far. Looking forward to your insight on the S12 . Once again a great review 🍻

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

S12 review is next on the schedule.

[@francisravi7651]

What do you mean by that? Is the OH10 not great?

[@carminedesanto6746]

@@francisravi7651 it’s currently top dog in my IEM’s stable 🍻

[@francisravi7651]

@@carminedesanto6746 isn't it sibilant? This is the only thing that's keeping me from pulling the trigger. The possible sibilance 😭

[@carminedesanto6746]

@@francisravi7651 I’ve found that poor recordings and too high a volume in playback make it all worse. You won’t know how IEM’s will react to your brains interpretation of the sound and your playlist…you gotta try before you buy ( or have a good return policy.. like Amazon ) and see ( actually hear) 🤘

[@Foobymaster1]

Bqeyz stands for Best quality earphones for you. I found that out on another channel

[@jag0937eb]

I call BQEYZ: Barbequez

[@iyervenki]

Dave, good, honest opinions without beating around the bush. The IKKO OH10 has way better sub-bass in my opinion. BQEYZ is a acronym for "Best Quality Earphones For You and the ""Z" is for the name of the proprietor for the company. Can you do a review on the Dunu Falcon Pro please?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Indeed the OH10 has better sub bass. I would love the opportunity to review the DUNU Falcon Pro, hopefully one will be provided to the channel.

[@remedyofficialvlogs47]

yes! finally! when i adapted your critical test tracks, i told you i have the Autumn to test those tracks. nice impressions! more detailed than mine and i liked it!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Great to hear!

[@redeidson140]

Nice review and thanks 👍 So I’m wondering how all-the-above iem’s compare to the Hana? TIA 🤘

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Here is a link to my Hana review: www.thehonestaudiophile.com/post/tanchjim-hana-white-swan-iem

[@lantern054]

Hi Dave, when can we expect olina review?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

When the Olina becomes available to me.

[@lantern054]

@@TheHonestAudiophile hmmmm 😉

[@jb678901]

With a somewhat eclectic choice of music genre (e.g. Vocals-both male and female, acoustic, jazz, classic rock), how would you rank the following sub-$200 IEM's?: Shuoer S12; Tripowin x HBB Olina / Olina (+1 filter mod); 7Hz Timeless; Kato; OH10; SeeAudio Yume Midnight

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Here is a link to my tier list: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nRHnsP_4vLg9DlD9kwJ6gQuEQFqhTR0lnrkxXo3AMG8/edit?usp=sharingI haven't heard the Olina and just got in the Yume Midnight. I would rank the others like this: Kato/S12 Timeless OH10

[@MannyScoot]

I owned them all and to me the OH10 is pretty badass and my favorite ........

[@akulinamackenzie4492]

👍

[@tekprogaming1989]

So in terms on sound quality sundara and ananda are same?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Not really but kinda, please watch the reviews for more information. Sundara: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3ypZ52ppL6GaLM Ananda: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGlZpWDjdacmsk

[@avinashverma8977]

Kz zex or cca cra which shoul i buy ?🙂

[@Rsalmond83]

Neither. Get the Olinas and you’re done!

[@shameermohamed4345]

Autumn vs Kato ..please

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Comparison made in the video.

[@LandsPlanes]

Kato is better no? I dont understand!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Yes

[@mokisan]

Do you still recommend these now with so many iems at this price point. Getting it for 110 usd

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

I still recommend it over the iKKO OH10.

[@mokisan]

@@TheHonestAudiophile damn! That's a high praise

[@davidcoons89]

Thank you for the reminder, I almost forgot to hit dislike on the way out! 😜😏😝 just teasing ofc

[@Boemtie]

First! :P
