[@faisalfirdausiinn4708]

As a person who has over 30 iems (probably over 40) mostly within budget range, personally i think JD1 is at its best either at Default mode or Bass mode. i would classify JD1 as Jack of All Trades - Master of None. .. because it does NOT beat anything at any Frequency Range compared to the current competition. Best at Treble? No Best for vocals? No Best Bass? No However one thing that immediately popped up in my head as soon as i listen to it was.. .. "this is probably the most PLEASANT sounding i have ever heard up to date." ... not pushing our ear drums too hard. i think JD1 is very good for long session listening while still not sacrificing too much on the fun side.

[@treblewellxtended]

Good analysis. Yes this tuning is very old school for slow and relaxed listening.

You can use with any as long as they have 3.5mm for audio output I'm not sure how karaoke system works, but if that has 3.5mm output, it will work.

Hey, I'm torn between the FiiO JD1, Tangzu Wan’er S.G, and Moondrop Chu II DSP. I’ve used the KZ EDX and love bass-heavy EDM, so I’m leaning towards the FiiO JD1(type c) for its bass and built-in tuner (though not sure how big a deal that is). Plus, it’s a bit cheaper. Is it really worth upgrading to the Moondrop Chu II for clarity? Any advice would be great!

[@treblewellxtended]

Since you like bass, and want a cleaner signature as well. Best you should go for 7hz zero 2. Fiio JD1 is not good. Very slow bass.

Hi , currently I am using KZ edx lite iem which I bought last month. I am new to this iem segment and love to use only wired earphones not TWS and Neckbands. My collection of earphones are boat(initially), jbl, Skullcandy, Sony which are around 500Rs - 1000Rs. One funny part is after unboxing the Kz edx lite I wasn't able to find which one is LEFT and Right earpiece for first 3 Days there is no sign L or R and i plugged the wires in wrong direction like upside down I don't know how to plug it in right way which is going around the ears back 🤣. Now comes to the sound quality I would say It's way better than the Normal earphone in this price range. The vocals , tremble, small nuisance like water droplets, background chorus singers voices are out of the roof. I was amazed by the kz edx lite iem but I got Ear Fatigue after listening for 45 mins, way normal BASS quality compared to other sounds, the Fit is not good, weight distribution is too bad. I can't watch a movie in a single stretch because of ear fatigue. Now I got an idea how IEM earphones would sound like. I will definitely try new IEM's in my next purchase and I saw many KZbinrs unboxing & reviewing this Fiio-Headphone zone IEM which I think it's a great value for money IEM and I would like to enter the giveaway, I will definitely give my feedback if I win this IEM. i don't know why many popular KZbinrs are not posting videos about IEM earphones as compared to TWS and neckband earphones. I find only music enthusiastic youtube channels like you and underrated youtubers talk, post videos about IEM.

Hi, stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and subscribed soon after seeing this video. I am no audiophile and I really won't be spending a lot of money on these things, but I love your channel and I love the way you present everything. That's why I subbed as that's the only way I can show support. :) I have a small question, which I hope you can help me with. Do all these IEMs require a DAC? My only audio device is the Sony NW-E394 mp3 player. I was using Sony MDR-XB55 earphones with it (no mic version) and I was super-happy. But the right side of the earphone has stopped working and Sony won't repair it. Also, sadly, Sony doesn't make these earphones anymore I guess. In fact, I couldn't find any Sony wired earphone without mic anywhere! 😕So if I were to get an IEM (without mic), which can you recommend please within Rs. 1500 that would work with my Sony player without a DAC? I listen to almost all genres, but like most out there, would love a lil extra bass. Thanks in advance! And sorry for the lengthy comment!

[@treblewellxtended]

Thank you for your kind words. Appreciate it. You can buy QKZ x HBB or 7hz zero 2 You fonnot require DAC, if you already have 3.5mm jack. DAC is required only if you use hi res music files or your current jack is not powerful enough for your IEMs.

No it will not be a good purchase for gaming or for a cable. Since the DSP is tuned for JD1, it will affect tuning of your castor.

@@suryaendurakshit2169 yes, I assumed that in this comparison we are talking about DSP version. Totally worth it. Get Moondrop Chu 2 DSP. Fiio JD1 is not a very good iem, overly marketed that's it.

Thanks a lot for this honest review as i was looking forward to buy it as my daily driver. That Moondrop cough was hilarious 😆😆. BTW I have the Truthear Hola, can you suggest me a upgrade under Rs 7500. Is this a good idea to buy Simgot EA500LM ?

[@treblewellxtended]

Thank you. May I know your preference on music or type of iem you are looking?

[@parichaychakraborty5863]

@@treblewellxtended I usually love to listen indian classical, Carnatics, R&B, Ragas, sometimes Hip hop and Electronics. I usually prefer my IEM to be analytical yet a little bit warm with good separation and soundstage. And thanks a lot for giving me your attention ❤❤

[@treblewellxtended]

@@parichaychakraborty5863 Understood your preference. Truthear Hexa or Aria 2 would be better choice for you. EA500LM would be brighter for your usage, the timbre is not upto the mark for classical music. Truthear Hexa with wide bore tip would give you a great analytical experience with staging. Aria 2 is slightly warmer than Hexa and has good details and sound staging as well. Out of these I think if you want all of your preferences catered go for Aria 2 If you want to focus more on Analytical part Hexa is the choice. Hope it answers.

[@treblewellxtended]

Checkout CCA CRA If you can elevat budget by 500, get 7hz zero 2, solid set for Rock music, Drums sound really amazing. JD1 is muddy, so those guitar solos are not as lively as they should, so avoid Fiio JD1

Really nice review..... U have explained everything well with giving as much possible details ..... My question is .... Are they even called an iem ..... They sound like earphones in skin of an iem..... Why should one purchase this if we have to compare it with earphones

[@treblewellxtended]

True that. I think it’s a very apt analogy they sound like earbuds. Budget IEMs have become way too good nowadays.

[@prathumo5580]

I regularly purchase audio gears from headphonezone and I really appreciate their work and feel happy for them when they grow..... But the thing is .. they market their collaboration products so intensely that.... It stops making sense at a certain point of time..... In my opinion...they should firstly choose the products wisely ..... Marketing is still acceptable as they are sellers .. not reviewers..

[@treblewellxtended]

@@prathumo5580 Absolutely agree. Product overhype is a big problem in this market, especially sellers should refrain from reviewing own products

[@prathumo5580]

@@treblewellxtended Also one last question..... While purchasing perfumes we test a variety of them to try out which is suitable for us... So in between we smell coffee buds to make our smelling sense kind of neutral...... I guess those who listen to many audio products can face the same problem.... At a certain point of time there is a chance we will not be able to spot a difference.... Has this happened to you?.... What do you do when it happens?

[@treblewellxtended]

@@prathumo5580 Yes absolutely it’s called Brain Burn in. When you listen to an IEM and TWS long enough, you brains adjust to that sound. However, if you are listening for let’s say one hour, and then you move to another IEM you perceive immediate differences. Though in neck to neck IEMs, this process takes a bit longer because both of them are so close so you have to get used to and listen for a long time . Now if sometimes you are not able to listen differences, best way is to listen to a contrasting set for a couple of hours and you are good to go. I hope it answers. BTW good analogy, as a perfume collector myself I liked it.

[@treblewellxtended]

For DAC check Audiocular D07 and get QKZ x HBB or 7Hz zero 2 as your IEM Headphone zone DAC is overpriced, D07 is same DAC for 1k

[@kowsalyasivamani4793]

​​@@treblewellxtendedI have researched from your suggestion still I am confused. Can you tell the difference between the audiocular D07,D08& xTiandirenhe cs pro.And does having more than one driver really improves the quality like the KZ iems. After watching your review on the wan'er I am leaning towards it but the build quality is stopping me. QKZ is sold out and zero doesn't have a mic. Sorry if I am bothering you too much 😅 Thank you!

[@treblewellxtended]

@@kowsalyasivamani4793 Both DAC are more than enough for your usage, i recommend D07 (Slightly more neutral) Now build quality is like this only for all budget iem except Moondrop and Simgot. Lastly, no hybrid driver setup doesn't necessarily mean better, my most rated IEMs are 1DD, example in point Sennheiser ie series. It is more about tuning than number of drivers. Avoid KZ in my opinion due to their harsh and peaky sound. And ethical issues

[@arnavdixit314]

PLEASE HELP My current IEM, the Blon 03, was purchased from Headphone Zone and worked flawlessly for 2.5 years before its cable died. I was considering purchasing another IEM now, but I'm having trouble choosing between the Moondrop Chu II, 7HZ-Salnotes Zero 2, and HEADPHONE ZONE X FIIO JD1. They're all amazing. For music and gaming(priority). if you have any other recommendations please tell, budget is ₹2500 i have type-c/3.5mm jack in both my laptop and mobile but don't know which type sounds good.

[@treblewellxtended]

For both music and gaming i would recommend Truthear Gate or 7hz Zero OG not the 2 Zero is absolutely neutral If you want slight warm sound: Truthear Gate is good choice. Please note both are leaning neutral sound, so at first you might find them thin, since you are coming from Blon which is a V shape IEM, over the time you will be able to appreciate neutral sound. Hope this answers the question.

hey i already ordered the Zero 2 before you replied so now I am thinking of ordering Gate also after watching your review of it. what is your suggestion should I order it or should I first experience Zero 2 or should I buy another more premium sounding IEM? song preference: I like Hip hop style from Talwindar and seedhe maut and slow indie songs from Arijit Singh, A.R. Rahman edit: reason for buy is because you said it's cable is great lol so I was thinking of using it for Zero 2 or Blon but if there is more premium cable you can recommend it new budget 3k

[@treblewellxtended]

​@@arnavdixit314 You are accustomed to Bass sound, you might not like Gate as of now, because it's leaning neutral. However if you use it for some time, that is one of the best sound in Budget. My recommendation would be to enjoy Zero 2 for some time. Gate is not going anywhere for at least one year. Maybe by that time you can save up to try $50 IEM. Do not go just for cable in my opinion, since you are new in hobby.
