The BASSIEST Audiophile IEMs in the world.

[@BenKo-gl3ee]

Proud owner of the Maestro Mini! Been my daily driver ever since, so much bass that now every other IEM i try sounds flat 😂

[@DANKKrish]

well yeah duh if you get used to a tuning that bassy it will mess with how you hear other IEMs, if you listen to something else for a long time and you go back to it it will feel bassier because you're unused to that sound at that point.

visited fatfreq in singapore a few weeks back, was attended by passionate staff that made my experience there unforgettable. Had a little special tour of the production facility too which was in the rooms right beside the showfloor. Walked away with a Scarlet mini package, enjoying it since! Defo worth it🙌

[@sparkymotive]

Basshead stonks just keep rising! My Scarlet Mini's are my endgame IEMs for the time being. The chase for perfectly accurate sound reproduction is a fool's errand.

[@alexjoneschannel]

Fr HD600s exist for perfect sound we just want a shit ton a bass

[@ohmymacy]

Bought the Scarlets after 10mins of listening at CanJam. Was debating between the MM and the SM but had to decide fast as they were down to the last sets… Their booth was crowded af… Truly an interesting time for us Bassheads!

[@jerryanders3335]

Scarlet mini is the absolute king for EDM and RnB tracks. Blind bought after HBB’s review a few months back. My ears are blessed… now thinking of upgrading to the Grand Maestro, please do a review of it!

[@juanlee3994]

Own a Scarlet mini personally and believe me when i say this… that thing RUMBLES

[@Lead_Foot]

I recently got my custom Grand Maestro and I don't know if I ever need to get another iem. Being able to switch between 4 tunings ranging from neutral with a mild bass boost to varying degrees of U and V shaped just kind of makes my whole iem collection irrelevant.

[@ziyanniu4441]

i really enjoyed the gm! but the vocal switch digs into my ears, does the custom version get rid of that some how?

[@youzone8223]

They recessed the entire vocal switch in the latest version, it is now almost level with the shell. You could still flick them while listening.

[@radiofreealbemuth]

How is the fit? I notice the nozzles are very long, and so I'm wondering if the deep insertion would be uncomfortable.

[@ziyanniu4441]

@@youzone8223 oh nice!! then the gm becomes a contender for my next set between the pmg apx/qdc emperor/canpur cp622b tbh when i first put them in my ear and noticed the square switch i thought it would’ve been a no brainer to recess that or at least make it round so it doesn’t dig in as much, glad they changed it.

Crin, this is great!! My Maestro Mini are on their way now!

[@Jellias11]

Ordered the mini from Bloom audio and I am absolutely loving this iem. They have a perfect fit in my ears. The bass is clean and impactful. The mids are recessed but the highs are tastefully presented. Very fun for bass centered music. Fulfilling my bass head desires.

[@Ducbloke]

Love it! I laughed at CanJam NYC when I tried it, and then walked away buying the Grand Maestro.

[@phawxhunter]

I think the drumming community was the one who asked for more bass. It's incredible how you cannot hear the bass drum in a IEM while playing live, instead, they have to use a drum throne thumper, to get that feedback.

[@demometalico]

Scarlet mini enjoyers, RISE 😤

[@alvinphan1617]

When did you retire from IEM reviews?

[@goukigod]

Yeah WTF?

[@ArtificialDjDAGX]

IIRC he announced that he retired from IEM reviews a couple videos ago. He's not been doing reviews for quite a long while.

[@rafaeltavares6928]

When he gave a break to his collaborations He has enough money from his "not selling you these iems" selling videos

[@JeffJacquesmd]

I have both the Scarlett Mini and the Grand Maestro. Brilliant IEMs. 👍🏼

[@anatol1204]

Which one you prefer honestly???

[@PizzaLah]

Thank you for the great review!! I hope this 10 mins video of expert opinion’s on IEMs is enough to convince my parents to buy me, and hopefully them too, another set of their IEMs. I personally own a pair of Scarlet Mini and will often wear it while studying for exams. Imho, the bass provides a non-fatiguing sound and never fails to release neurotransmitter dopamine and teleport me to another realm which my brain then ingest information from these sound waves. Nonetheless, I pass with flying colors. Will be heading to their showroom to try more other IEMs soon!

[@HobbyTalk]

I want to try these so dang bad…

[@_-Z-]

Me too. I think I'll be buying the Scarlet Mini around the end of the year. I've had the Meteor for a little while now and really loving them. ♥️

Nice! Looking forward to more local coverage.

[@danjohnson8675]

Scarlett Mini has the basshead heavyweight belt, nothing out there can beat it.

[@Lost1ntheSauc3]

Love my custom Maesto Se. It's like a little subwoofer system in your ears. Closest thing to car audio in the headphone industry!

[@Lymph8]

This is exactly what i’m looking for but was wondering if the scarlets are like a better sub woofer in your ear

[@Lost1ntheSauc3]

@Lymph8 So I've tried Scarlet at Canjam and honestly I thought it was just too far. The SE and mini are at least somewhat refined through the whole frequency range, but with the scarlets, any bass presence totally drowns out the mids and treble like you might expect a subwoofer to. They're like, comically bassy lol. If that's what you want then awesome, but personally I found the sheer amount of bass quite distracting from my music. The SE hits a sweet middle ground with the thunderous, eardrum rattling bass but still lots of detail and space for the mids to come through, and the mini is a slightly less polished alternative.

[@lexluger3490]

Have you tried the Ziigaat Doscinco? If so, how does it compare to the FATFreq offerings? In terms of sub bass and mid bass clarity? Also, how does it compare over all? TIA

[@desireetay81]

Tried the Scarlett mini the other day.. bloody power! The folks there were so nice as well.

Looking for some experience comparisons out of curiosity: How do these FatFreqs compare to the OG Singapore bass cannon, the Jaben Hippo VB?? I need to get my Hippo VBs fixed, recabled somehow here in HK.... And wait! I might not be following Crin as closely as I should these days, but what's this nonsense about retiring from IEM reviews???!?!?! SAY IT AIN'T SO BRO

We need reviews of the other two series! The musician series looks like they would be great for regular people too.

[@davidcpearson]

Would you recommend them for a drummer wanting to hear their kick better at a gig? Or is the bass boost in a lower frequency range than the average kick drum peak?

Crin tuned the Dusk and you heard what he feels about bass. I’ve got both. The Scarlet Minis are like crack cocaine, theres no stopping once you start. My test tracks sounded awful but put on EDM (Chase & Status) and wow. Enjoying NIN’s The Downward Spiral more now than back in the day,

[@The69Oskar69]

All you need to say to make me buy good IEM's, earphones or headphones is: bass. If you repeat that word couple of times then I already made an order and I am 100% sure that scarlet's will not be too bassy to me, I just fucking love it too much. I always crank up the bass in my columns at home and only them can fill that gap in my heart. So I hope scarlet's will be able to do that too without pissing off everybody in the building. P.s. what that upgraded cable does? Is it worth it?

It's obviously not a question of tuning. This performance requires choosing specific drivers and designing a specific shell. It's not budget. Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red is probably the best that can be done for cheap at the moment.

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

@@p_serdiuk I doubt the IEM would just tune itself by the desired FR by choosing the drivers alone...

Seems like it's very hard to make a PROPER basshead IEM. If you look at all the real basshead IEMs such as the Fatfreq MM, Scarlet Mini, Metalure Wave, Symphonium Titan, Fir Audio Xenon 6, etc., they're all super expensive. If it was that easy to make a real budget basshead IEM somebody would have done it already haha.
