Crazy Top 5 Earphones under $100

[@BrianGlaze]

Good video as usual and of course accessible with the price range. One thing I've noticed that may be helpful is for you to list the name of the products you rank in the description. It may be more tedious but I would personally find it helpful.

[@soulja617]

For sure

[@HELL-CAT.]

Notification finally somewhat budget videos ❤️

[@patdoyle-ze7jh]

These budget reviews are really helpful for folks like me who are on a limited budget. Thanks and keep them coming !

[@Bakashi]

planning to get the EA500 LM once it comes out here. Did not expect the Castor to be on the list, I personally have it and yeah this is much much better than KZ's previous budget offerings and even competes hard with similar priced iems in the price range

[@billpoyfair1346]

Would love that LM set! I love that you rec the red while personally liking the blue. That's what I respect in your videos. Explained personal tastes and considering other tastes in your evaluation and recs.

[@kuutori431]

just shows how far the hobby has come in such short time. used to be choked filled with aria the others with similar tunings but now its constantly changing and with more variety on tuning

[@KmtS9]

I have used the Tanchjim One 3.5 and I actually really think it's great especially at its price. Probly a little underrated, but also understandable considering the amount of options available at that price. But very versatile set while still being fun. And man, REALLY wanna get my hands on the LM. Gonna wait a few more months so the price hopefully will go down a little, but yeah, definitely copping them this year.

[@michaelscully2975]

This is the video I really need at this point in the year. First payday since mid December and I want to treat myself but can't push the boat out too much. Not simping but you're fast becoming one of the only reviewers I trust. Keep up the solid work.

[@vishwaprasad988]

I really love the amount of information you share with the community. Kudos to you and thank you for your recommendations.

[@Sforzabull]

The variety of good sets under $100 keeps this hobby going strong

[@loydfrancis3326]

Just right in time. I needed this to know! Thanks

[@r.vincenta.9678]

In my opinion, the twin Castors (Silver and Black) nailed it in terms of price to performance in the DD-only budget space. Castor Black sounds like a Harman mild-V signature emphasizing on the mid-bass impact but sacrificing some upper mids and highs technical performance. It is the fun and enjoyable set. My favorite is the Castor Silver though bec it sounds more U-shaped (bass switches on) with fuller mids and very detailed and spacious highs for a 2DD IEM. It is the analytical set.

[@Ay.Caramba]

I guess that everyone wants to win the Simgot EA500LM! Me too. It seems to be head and shoulders above everything else, not just at its price range, but several tiers above it, too. I've yet to hear or read a review that doesn't give it high praise. Must be causing a lot of consternation amongst IEM manufacturers in the lower-mid price range who now have to compete with it. Great that you've got one to give away to a lucky subscriber.

[@nanuk01]

EA500LM is getting praised everywhere. Looks like a no brainer if you are loving it too. Thanks for the review!

[@alfredoj1349]

I have always wanted the olinas se but for many reasons I couldn’t get one but now you said the AE500 are betters, I’ll going take your word, now I’m aiming for these

[@blood_meridian]

Happy Sunday! Wild what $100 and under gets you in this hobby in 2024. This hobby has come a LONG way. It’s also helpful to have people like you sift through all the bullshit. The amount of iems and other gear that gets put out each month is staggering to try and keep up with.

[@J-Reyez]

Love the recommendation!! Always appreciate your videos!!🙂

[@EastPlanet]

The EA500LM is killing it! Really exciting set. Does anybody have a comparison to the EA1000?? Would love to hear some thoughts

[@szch664]

Always interested in your budget recs! 👍

[@frankgtn]

Great reccomends. Really enjoying my Tanchjim One

[@adovkoder]

Im so obsessed with the ea500lm rn

[@IntroBat10]

Really interested in the 500 lm. Good list and review thanks!

[@relaxmike9149]

I know this will probably get asked a lot, but how does the EA500lm compare to the EM6L which is only about 10-20$ more. Would love to hear y'alls opinion!

[@bikkinwings]

Thanks so much for including so many sets in these 'lower' these price ranges--- wishing you and your family well

[@ForeverBlackCat]

I recently subscribed and love your videos! Thanks so much!

[@ManveerSingh0605]

Man, as soon as i get the aria 2's you uplaod this. I literally just got them today. If only you were 1 day early........

[@SlattrickOwens]

I love how competitive the sub 100$ Iem range is, makes it hard but fun when choosing budget sets

[@Jason-cj4ry]

Much love to the channel. Looking forward to all the giveaways. Thanks Chris.

[@Valkyri]

Great list with an amazing affordablity! Thanks for sharing and going over the details of each set!

[@TR-qf2gt]

very surprising list tbh (except for the Simgots ofc)! shows how “different strokes for different folks” really does ring true

[@GadgetActivated]

What do you think of the Castor Silver/Harman?

[@bluemax220]

First class Chris. Great to see some 'forgotten' iems given a bit of a reminder to the masses. As is always, the newest gear isn't always the best.

[@alitutuncu391]

great options , always thank you for the great info

[@ShawnMeister]

Nice to see this list. No surprise that the LM took the top spot. I was half expecting the simgot EW200 or EM6L to be on here. Just noticed recently that your desk setup doesn't have the Schitt gear any longer, did that get replaced?

[@EricJorgensen1]

thanks for doing all levels of iems. we appreciate it.

[@davidcoons89]

This video was absolutely my speed for my budget beers recently. Thanks bro!

[@potatopotata10]

lets goo! really excited for the budget market

[@keskitalop]

Thanks for the reviews. The Simgot ea500lm sounds intriguing.

[@edtoptop]

Love the reviews. Would love to try the lms!

[@zGunBLADEz]

My man!!! Keep up the good work love the all around pros and cons.. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@H8338N]

Simgot killed it with the ea500lm. Would love to own one.

[@Ay.Caramba]

Me, too!

[@StevesAdventure]

Have heard so much about that little simgot set, can’t wait to try eventually!

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

Good review🔥as usual. Everytime I get my mind set on a pair I wanna get next I see other videos/reviews that make good points that make me change my mind. I wanted the EM6L but recently been hearing good things about the LM and its cheaper too. I feel like I cant go wrong with either one. Maybe the only difference maker to get one over the other is the price, maybe.

[@Akatsuki1989]

Excited what simgot can bring us in the future

[@jackhandy6211]

Sounds like these sets each have some worthwhile qualities. Thanks for your honest take on these.

[@mykpausa9238]

Thats my price range

[@jeffcarrozzi5918]

That’s everyone price range lol.

[@christianmiranda8571]

Mine too. I cap at around 150.

[@Blue-tubes]

That's where most would be if they don't have a ton of disposable cash

[@SartWaiting]

That's my double price range😅. I don't want to spend more than 50 on a pair of IEMs. 😂

[@ScottCStew]

My price range at this point is “Whatever I hope to win from HBB” 😒

[@Arqol]

Surprised to see the Reds up there, really happy with mine, had it for about 7 months, but I am highly considering the LM....seems so tempting!

[@snowtab6519]

This is the best price range for everyone. Nice category for each iem and you can pick the specific iem that you want. Kudos :)

[@willisKing95]

Nice video really considering getting the lm

[@jaybowen2235]

The price range is great to determine a second set and comments about sound so one can try a different "flavor" or improve enjoyment for a different genre

[@tagDyisNgaBico]

Will keep an eye on EPZ. My plans for a Simgot upgrade seems to be inevitable at this point. Thanks for your thoughts on these sets

[@marksr12]

Got the LM's comin, been listening to the EPZ G10s for about 3 months...love em and glad to hear about the blues over the reds. I was confused when I saw those on your list! Great video, Thank you!!

[@Mejonesin]

I am excited for the EA500LM. Both of the Simgot sets that I bought last year were very good all-rounders. I hope Simgot continues to crush it in 2024!

[@jayabbey5141]

Another great review and perspective on the sub $100 IEM's. My LM is arriving from China any day now. Can't wait to put them in my rotation! Should be a lot of fun.,.

[@DragonDreamZero]

All great sets, great work

[@burns0100]

I only just realised I wasn't subbed to the unbox channel. I am now with notifications on so hopefully I can get back into watching more videos again. Fell off for a while because I am satisfied with my current set up but honestly that urge to buy is hitting so lets see what comes up.

[@f_troop5886]

Nice update on this price range... Thanks... 👍👍👍

[@martillo_]

Do one for the 100-200 USD range, please!

[@jabmolasee]

I like your reviews, but having these roundups are a very good tool as well.. Thanks!

[@tauhidirfani271]

i got both the Zero Red and Blue and love them. i recommend the Tanchjim One DSP to my producer and he really like them so far. Castor i tried them and they're good but i won't buy them cause i got bad experience with some sets years ago. the rest i haven't tried but someone at my monthly meet will probably get them....😂 glad you're feeling better and your voice has fully returned to normal

[@MovieMakerKid90]

nice list you got there! would actually recommend these for those starting in the hobby and who is willing to shell out a few more bucks than the average person!

[@infiniteuniverse805]

Having let my right eardrum heal for a few months now after an accidental self-inflicted mishap, I added the Simgot LM500LM to my list to get this year. Being vented helps and I am going to also test them with the TANGZU Tang SANCAI ear tips in hopes of further reducing pressure on my eardrum, to make it easier to tolerate them. I have heard nothing but praise from this set from reviewers and I honestly think it'll be the more affordable all-rounder set to beat in the price/performance ratio this year.

[@fertech_bass]

I was about to pull the trigger on the EA500LM but I think the bass won't be enough for my tastes. In the other sections, there is no problem, I know that it is very weii and a very good price. Thank you for your recommendations! I'm glad to see you're feeling better bro!

[@rishisagar]

what do you listen to?

[@fertech_bass]

@@rishisagar My library is very similar to HBB's. Even though I'm a basshead and I know these aren't, I'd settle for some sub-bass lift. I have seen other reviews and they agree that the bass is more on the balanced-warm side.

[@rishisagar]

@@fertech_bass I'd wait for the upcoming Crin Collab before pulling the trigger at this point. Probably releasing soonish

[@fertech_bass]

@@rishisagar I'll be watching what Crin cooks

[@Spin3l3ssJ3lly]

The Truthear Zero: Blue is still an option. Not Fatfreq levels of insanity but it still packs a punch with that dynamic driver dedicated to bass alone.

[@tracysherman875]

Great to see inexpensive IEMs reviewed and treated seriously. Thanks for the reviews.

[@ernest4483]

Another great content Chris and have a blessed, wonderful, positive, productive, peaceful and safe week

[@PhillySonofThunder]

So thankful that I’ve discovered budget IEMs.

[@doubleXnickel]

Nice list. I have not heard of EPZ

[@Doggie64]

Thanks for the video. Will have to try that EA500lm.

[@Tonza4]

The EA500LM seems like a winner. I've only heard and have EW200 from Simgot but would love to hear more.

[@isaymaybe4601]

Simgot got in HBB's ❤. are we going to see a hbbxsimgot collab?

[@Nenad420]

After your Tanchjim One DSP video they became SOLD OUT everywhere. The stock sound was good for the price, but then I stumbled upon an EQ in your forum post from "Riku" that was outstanding. One thing i changed was to not scoop out 250Hz as much. If anyone is interested in "Rikus" DSP profile, it is. 20Hz 7.4G 0.6Q / 250Hz -2.2G 1Q / 3000KHz -2.5G 2Q / 5500KHz -2G 2Q / 12000KHz 5G 3Q.

[@joshuazuriel9226]

Got the Tanchjim One DSP and loving it. Going to order EA500LM in the near future!

[@kibutzi]

I'm actively listening the tanchjim one dap these days... Thanks for putting this one out

[@hansvictordurias9305]

I have tried the EA500 and it sound really good especially with the vocals. But EA500LM? I'm very curious how it sounds compared to the base model. Great video as always!

[@anthonyderosa9569]

Great recommendations! As a beginner in the community listening to this on a pair of kiwi ears dolce that I purchased after watching your video on them.

[@noishpa7]

Great content for all hobbyists, especially those of us who are financially challenged. Thanks!

[@muhammadali.8170]

Oh wow.. I didn't expect the Castor on this list. The bass version got decent feedback from other reviewers as well, so it's fair to see it on this list. Seeing the G10 here is unexpected as well. It seemed to graph well, but I didn't think it'd make it on a list. Good for EPZ honestly. Fun fact about the G10, it actually glows in the dark partially when exposed to blue light for a bit. Super cool imo

[@kevinmarquez5650]

was just looking for great recommendations on a gaming IEM and probably tripped somewhere down into the rabbit hole, now here I am. Glad to have more recos, hoping to get my hands on some of my preferences soon 😅

[@sergiominakatach.4956]

I prefer the blue over the red. The 500 LM seems to be a great set. Definitely I’ll order one instead of the ea1000. Thank you for all this information

[@eriklscott64]

I'm so angry I got the EA 1000, even though it's slightly different. It's not different enough to warrant the price difference.

[@hannansidd5070]

Just the content i was looking for next up less than 50$

[@eriklscott64]

I've been screaming at the top of my lungs how good the Tanchjim One is for the money especially the DSP model, and I'm going to check out the epz g10. Keep on keepin on my friend, BigE

[@aznablerey398]

I'm such a sucker for entry-level bang for buck. Your channel over the years has been an awesome source for helping sift the gold from the pyrite.

[@smcpac]

Hey BG... nice video... timely and important... I would like the LM in my collection...

[@ayushaswal6070]

This type of series people love the most. I myself looked into your video for ultra budget before purchasing truthear hola

[@AzGael]

the 100 segment advances pretty fast, its interesting. btw, wondering whats your take on the pula pa02

[@Stravideo]

That's a nice list, now I am wondering if I should sell my EA500 to get the LM version. Thanks!

[@vincebernardo]

More hype on the LM and I'm loving it. I don't like the Castor but I can see an audience for it. Nice list as always.

[@jacqn6706]

Thanks for the list. Got the castor bass after watching your review and it hits hard. Looks like Simgot has done something really good with the EA500LM. I was expecting that EPZ would make it to your channel so can't wait to see your opinions on 530, g10 and the star one. Thanks for the vid.

[@carlosnazario1170]

That LM has been putting in work

[@Cornea1931]

yo nice vid, been eyeing simgot iems for this year

[@bgk8890]

Hell yeah, my most favorite vids are the top 5 ones with a certain budget ... more please ...

[@Audioholic42]

Love the level of derails in the videos lately Chris. Keep it up mate.

[@hwkki8323]

Hope to see how the LM does, it's definitely looking great

[@Bidstrup7]

How does the simgot EW200 compare to the el500ln Happy listening 🎧❤️

[@parichaychakraborty3712]

Thanks again for this awesome recommendations.Would like to see a comparison between Simgot EA500LM and Truthear Hexa. Kind of confused between these two.

[@josecintron85]

I love the budget reviews, because it gives us the ability to experiment with new sound signatures without breaking the bank.

[@aceryn2341]

I can’t wait to see your review of the EPZ 530!

[@syedrehanfida]

Hey HBB, can you please do a budget roundup for non-fatiguing treble sets? I find the majority of the budget sets to be too V-shaped. I like bass, but not treble. I need some recommendations for that, please.

[@rasyiidramadhan9019]

Great list!

[@mattodio]

Awesome affordable list! I have the Ones but not with the DSP cable. I wish I would have bought the DSP to play around with their App. Ordered the Castors too
