[@daddylonglegs2010]

[@hellotherethisiskiminsung]

@@FunnyGtaVidz consider buying some good "passive" bookshelf speakers like Klipsch, Polk, etc. There is a speaker output terminal at the back of your subwoofer so you can connect those passive speakers directly into the subwoofer. I hope this will help.

I read your comment just before I hit back to watch another video. The laugh was such a lengthy, slow burn that while watching the other video I couldn't stop chuckling so I came back to give a thumbs up.

[@RetroKid]

Kudos to you and plenty of thanks for providing specific examples of what you're talking about in specific songs. I don't think anyone else does that and I really appreciate the extra insight and effort you put into telling me when in a song something happens that is noteworthy. Thank you!

[@jamesclaydon6065]

Thanks Randy!!! Just received a pair of these from Amazon UK and I’m blown away!!!! My last pair of In Ears were some Klipsch X10s bought way back and recently converted to mono by my dog…. The Cadenzas are an amazing replacement for the cash!

[@spamcan9208]

I like mine, they are comfortable (I did add spinfit tips) sound great, and the cable is good. By good I mean it doesn't kink or tangle easy and doesn't feel nasty in the hand.

[@joeshow750]

I have a $50 pair of KZ ZS10 (10 drivers) IEMs, combined with a Soundblaster G6, and some memory foam ear tips...and these are the highest quality audio I've ever heard (detail, clarity, separation, extension, dynamics) And I've spent sooooo much money throughout my life on audio gear for my house, and a lot of it is still good, but those IEMs are the best so far...

[@onyachamp]

The g6 is bomber. I have bought two, love it for fps gaming with that scout mode.

[@Unicorn-ST]

Totally agree, I have the KZ ZS10 Pro X and they are extraordinaries.

[@johnmcvicker6728]

@@Unicorn-ST They are ok but I think I found someone who determined that the BAs were "dual" BAs (singles counted as two each) and then also that they don't produce much of the output. A good 10mm single DD can just about match the KZ ZS10 Pro X. I also had issue with the KZ with a filter falling off. I ended up adding some foam into the canal and that tamed some of the higher-end frequency.

[@helifan2346]

If you liked the ZS10 try the KZ ZSX Terminator They are, for me, better Look up the reviews

[@johnmcvicker6728]

@@helifan2346Graph on those looks nice. Little less highs vs. KZ ZS10 ProX and that is what I think hurts the ZS10.

[@yourpalfranc]

I'm a sucker for cheap IEMs!!! I have pair of Shure SE425 that I paid around $250 for when I needed something for a gig I was doing at my church, and since then I've bought probably 3 pairs of IEMs in the $35-ish range that are way better. Can't wait to try these out. They're ordered and on the way!! I'm curious about the Cadenza's??? They're $250 but look awfully similar in design! I won't be checking them out at $250, though. ~Frank

[@mattcheryllindler3890]

Thanks Randy! I ordered a pair of the Kiwis based on your review. My old JBL monitors I use for live-streaming our church services has so much tape from over the years that I’d be surprised if there is any original insulation left. These sound awesome for the money! Thanks for the lead!

[@johnmcvicker6728]

I mix at church too and mixing in the room for livestreaming is really very hard. You really have to be in a quiet room and mix for what you hear. So much audio in the air in a main room influences you beyond just your ear drums. Hard to get low-end right, etc.

[@mattcheryllindler3890]

@@johnmcvicker6728 I agree. Very difficult to get a good mix in the sanctuary but it’s our only option. I use ear muffs over them to block out as much as possible. It helps but isn’t perfect.

[@orborbea9844]

[@nicolasnicolas5238]

Cheapaudioman bringing in the good cheap audio, man

[@johnmcvicker6728]

Just got a pair, along with a pair of Moondrop Chu II. Both very good budget IEMs. They lack a tiny bit of air up in the 5k-6k area but very nice for music and I am going to use the Chu II for some audio mixing verification.

[@darwinbalares570]

@johnmcvicker6728 i also have the Chu2 and would like to try the Cadenza. Is the sound signature almost the same or in the same range i mean would it be a significant upgrade to the Chu2? thanks!

[@johnmcvicker6728]

@@darwinbalares570 Graphs look very similar. Chu II looks (and sounds) like it will give you slightly better female vocals, guitars and other "presence". I rotate between a few IEMs right now, favoring the Truthear Hexa, but also Cadenza and I am going to likely give my Chu II sets to band members at my church, might save a set here at home. I think Chu II could be reasonably good audio mixing IEMs too. Look for sales, of course on any of these. I also picked up the Ziigaat Nuo on 11.11 sale and it's real nice but lacks some of that presence. Many top lists put Chu II near top of their 2023 list of inexpensive IEM. I like the look/feel of Cadenza over Chu II but not by much.

[@gabemadorma2933]

⁠@@darwinbalares570 I’m probably too late but I found the Chu 2’s to be more bright and treble heavy compared to these. I kept both for variety but definitely prefer the Cadenzas

Are these still the top budget IEMs or has something else dethroned them already?

Single drivers can do a lot. The Wan'er are quite good too. Look at HBB's top cheap IEM list and Chu II was voted highly by viewers of his chanel. " Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews" -- Best Ultra Budget list from a week ago.

[@kamilkazmierczak2842]

[@eddents]

In your searching, you may want to check out the differences of what are called "earbuds" vs. "IEM" (in ear monitors). Typically earbuds sit further out in the ear canal (and don't block external noise as well as IEM's) and will only have one driver (usually). IEM's will often have more than one driver to deliver a more refined sound signature. This helps explain why "earbuds" will have a much lower price than IEM's.
