Disclaimer: I prefer mid centric tuning with slight elevation in bass. 65% of my music library is vocal centric.
This is one of the best iem in my collection, this one was a shocker as I remember asking Pritam Bhai what iem would be detailed and have that good amount of slam he gave me two options ie900 and NE4 based on my preference but highly suggested to buy NE4 so I did. That all aside the iem can easily pass as a piece of art, not only that but the solid build quality is a statement in itself. The unboxing experience was also quite a premium one. Especially the included patch and letter makes you feel that you are now part of an elite club and the patch being its insignia.
The music part:
The iems follow a unique W shaped tuning that is quite un common in the current market where everyone is trying to make variants of the same sound signature. It sometimes feels that once you have heard one iem you have heard them all. Amass all the competition these iems do shine differently mainly due to their proprietary technology that is something never heard before.
Bass: Man, what can I say about bass this is one of the best bass I have ever heard in an iem. It feels like there is a subwoofer in your ears. you gotta hear it to believe it. As it has a mid-bass focused tuning so, the sub-bass section doesn't hit like crazy but man when the mid bass comes in it comes hard. Also, it’s not very bloaty or out of control there is a good amount of texture to it. Drums and bass guitars sound very natural and organic.
Mids: The iem’s late midrange dip around 700Hz makes it perfect for songs that are very lively, but due to this it can seem that vocals sometimes take a backseat. Not only that but guitars and male vocals sound great. Though male vocals are presented a bit warm because the pinna compensation starts a bit early compared to other iems in my collection. There is a dip at 3k Hz making female vocals a bit tamer. This all makes for a relaxed listening experience.
Treble: These iems have nice treble presence. The high hats and cymbals sound quite nice and not inorganic at all. There is also good amount of air in them making them sound surreal.
Tech: They are no slouch in the tech aspect. One of the largest stage I have heard in my collection. Also, they do seem more holographic than my Um mest mk2. The microdetails are quite prominent in my music library. Man, to be honest I have heard things in my music that I didn’t even know existed.
Comparisons:
unlike regular comparison section I will like to just make a brief ranking section (of all Totl iems I own) in each section and then give my reason for it.
Bass: Ne4>Mest Mk2>U12t>ExE Gaea>CA ARA. I mean after reading the bass section I don’t think I need to explain it any further.
Mids: ExE Gaea>U12T=NE4>CA ARA>Mest mk2. I do prefer a bit of lean midrange as for me it brings out more of that texture in vocals. The NE4 mids are similarly tuned as u12t’s but both the peaks are a bit early making them warmer and quite relaxed.
Treble: ExE Gaea > NE4 > CA ARA > U12T> Mest Mk2 . The treble presentation is quite good in this iem but not as good as Gaea due to its tuning. But, Gaea sometimes feels a bit harsh to quite a lot of people due to this. The NE4 treble feels perfect.
Conclusion: These Iem have a very steep asking price. But if you ask me, I would definitely say that these are well worth it. One cannot listen to these crazy technical and lean sounding iems for extended amount of time it’s quite fatiguing. Whereas, that is what is unique about this set its quite non fatiguing not only that but it is fit and comfort is so good that it makes you feel like they aren’t in your ears at all. All these factors lead them to become my daily drivers.

These are a great pick if you love a balanced sound. The best thing about them is the vocals — clear, natural, and full of emotion. You can really feel the singer’s presence without any sharpness or muddiness. Everything just sounds right, especially for long listening sessions.
Some online product selling giants didn't understand how to package product because it delegate and wants to handle with care and I really appreciate your customer support thank you great product delivery app in reasonable rate
It’s a neat dongle with crisp sounding music, it’s on a brighter side of music
one of the best earbuds in this price range.
As a beginner audiophile I did research on all budget IEMs but this KZ EDC Pro stood out in all reviews as best and most affordable no-nonsense IEM without distortion in sound output that drew my attention to it. And I am glad I made the choice, this deserves every bit of praise for the price & sound output better than my 5000INR TWS from reputed brands, a little bit EQ Tweaks just enhances the experience multifold... Must but for those who looking for affordable yet best sounding wired earphones/IEM. Brilliant build and sound quality for the price. A Must buy on a tight budget, and Thanks to audiostore for delivering package before scheduled delivery time.
Great DAC for the price in terms of build and aesthetic. When paired with a good IEM definitely makes the experience worth investing. Just go for it, must buy for a beginner/intermediate audiophile...!
Easy blind buy for the price. Most recommended set of iems if you're new to the iem community and are looking for something under 5000 rupees. Sounds clean and has a lot of customisation options with app support.
good sound and clear even without the dac and anything haven't tuned anything still clear sound!
After having owned a few kilo-buck IEMs, I was prepared to get something that was insane and probably endgame and rightly so Pritam sir recommended the FIR audio Xenon 6 and thus deep dived into this and I am sure this would be the end game IEM for me.
The XE6 is so wonderfully crafted looks like piece of jewelry and although a large IEM it is very comfortable for me for long sessions.
It sounded good from the start and was really different from the other IEMs. It started to sound even better and grew on to be the best I ever heard after listening to it for longer. I paired with Astell&Kern SP3000T and Hiby rs8 II and with desktop DAC Amps (FiiO K19, Topping D70. A70, Hifiman R2R and Xduoo TA 22) and the immersive, warm, musical and soundstage that filled my head all over. The sub bass is where it stands out the most, but the mids and highs are also so clear and crisp. I havent yet tried to change the atom modules as yet, I am sure this will make the XE6 even more great than that it already is.
The shells in the IEM I were crafted in the US (was crafted in China earlier, but as Trump wanted his MAGA force it had to be made in the US now)
This is definitely end game worthy!!!!
I’ve been using the Moondrop Chu 2 for around 5 months, and I’m really happy with them overall. The size is very good – small, lightweight, and comfortable for long sessions. They fit well in the ears and don’t feel bulky at all.
In terms of sound, they’re excellent for the price. Clear mids, detailed highs, and a balanced tuning that works great for vocals and instruments. They still feel solid and well-built even after months of daily use.
The only drawback is the bass – while it’s clean and controlled, it’s not very strong. If you’re looking for heavy bass, these might not fully satisfy you.
But if you want clarity, balance, and detail in a compact design, the Chu 2 are a fantastic choice.
Very good value for its price range,
Solid build, durable metal shells
Comfortable fit and decent ergonomics
Tuning flexibility thanks to interchangeable nozzles
Soundstage depth isn’t exceptional (though width / height are decent)
The black nozzle for brighter tuning is a bit aggressive.
This is my first IEM..so I'm not knowledgeable enough to decide if it's the best or not..but definitely a good buy..go for it guys..and don't forget to pair it up with a good dac....
I got these cables for my CHU II because I broke the stock cable.
For the following reasons I would say it's a solid recommendation for it's price.
The cables themselves are not as heavy as they might look and more importantly, they are not "stiff, ear hooks are also fairly comfortable.
Also, they don't particularly retain shapes and seem to be freer and tangle free.
The quality on the cables is good, it's been almost two weeks, and I haven't seen any quality issues come out.
The mic quality on calls is decent, very serviceable.
Don't expect upgrade cables to change the tonality of your IEMs.
These don't have a chin-slider, I would have loved to see that.
(THE COOLEST PART, they include a free hard case and tbf it's actually a good case better than some listed even for around 300INR out there)
Tuned like a blessing formy ears, Go for it
I use the moondrop free dsp mini with my hidizs mp145 planar iems and the response is amazing. Micro details are good mids are just right. The bass is tight. You'll love it.
