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!!!!
The title says it all. After listening to many TOTL IEMs in the past 6-7 years, my endless chase for achieving audio nirvana is met with Fir Audio Xenon 6 (XE6). While several of my past & current IEMs such as 64 Audio U12T, Final A8000, Sony IER Z1R & M9, Sennheiser IE800s & IE900, Shure 846, KSE1200, JH Audio Roxanne, CA Solaris, etc. were good at one thing or two but I have never felt such emotional connect with any IEM like this. It's special, really special.
I know you can read tons of detailed professional reviews on XE-6, so I don't want to fill this space with the technical detail of XE6, audiophile jargon, and stereotype statement. I only want to share XE's unique factor which made me stop chasing flagship after flagship and start rediscovering my library.
A short detail about my setup & my musical preferences. I generally listen on my desktop - RME ADI 2 and Chord Hugo and like to listen to EDM, Country, Pop, and occasionally Bollywood.
When I first listened to XE-6, I found it strange. Frankly, when you get a TOTL IEM, you expect a more safe and agreeable tuning. But XE6 is not like that, it has a very unique & superbly dynamic presentation of sound. Right from bass, which is so textured and rich that it can't be explained but only experienced. It's an acquired taste for sure, but once you dive into it there is no looking back. Coming from IER Z1R, I can vouch that this is the best sense of bass I have ever experienced in an IEM. The bass is physical - one can feel it, without being bloomy. Jumping on mid-range, have you ever thought about listening to something like Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever and felt the warmth of her breath in vocal? Yes, it is something that I felt when I hear this song and many more such songs in my albums that gave me goosebumps on XE6. Mids on XE6 are pure magic. Vocals and String instruments shine on this IEM. The treble is endlessly extended, with lots of detail. It's very precise and defined but non-fatiguing.
Overall, this IEM is certainly neither neutral nor analytical. But it's unlike any other IEM that I have heard. For me, it is an emotional, very emotional presentation of music and that's what I expect when I listen to my favorite tracks. I wanted to go back to those memories which are encapsulated in those tracks.

Being in This Hobby for last 25 years & owning more than 70+ & auditioning more than 100+ iems, i concluded my journey with this beautiful IEM to explore new verse.
Xe6 will make you cry when you hear those sub & mid bass rumble, the air will shine with no shrills & mesmerizing visceral vocals not hit you on your face.
Example this: Jee karda by Divya Kumar from Badlapur.

Whati expected that fullfill.best iem for beginners.bass is great
Best Budget IEMS. This was my first time buying this iems and i didnt got single complaint for this. its just good for this price point
New on this IEM journey and I must say they sound better than my 3x priced headphones.
I like the sound and clarity.
Coming from Juzear Defiant and Punch Audio martilo, I would say that this is the best I have till date. Excellent in terms of clarity and technicalities. Being a medium sized IEM it is very comfortable for long listening sessions. Kudos to TAS for their excellent service.
I visited the experience store at Pune and Pritham and his asistant were very warm and welcoming. They patiently explained the pro's and con's of the Hidizs and gave me alternatives to try like the Truthear Nova and Simgot Supermix. Experiencing the different IEMS helped me maake a solid choice of what I wanted.
Also took time to sample an open back Sennheiser HD660S and the Hifiman Sundara. Was able to clearly make out the differnce betweeen a planar magnetic and DD. That helped me know what my prefernces were. Truly enlightening experience ended with a great purchase in the HIDIZS MP145.
These are my first IEMs. After a bit of research, I decided to go with the KZ Castor Pro as my first IEM. I'm really impressed with the audio depth, the crispness of audio and the clarity and separation of instruments and vocals. The music feels much different than the usual TWS earbuds which I was using before! The packaging was good, and delivery from Audio Store was good! Glad to have officially entered the IEM clan!
The Audiocular Spark DAC is amazing and it really enhances the audio quality compared to using my IEMs directly on my PC. The build is excellent, durable and it also comes with a carrying case. The packaging and delivery were both good. Really glad I bought this from here!
Unbelievable this TANCHJIM Bunny Type-C DSP whenIwas unboxed and listen immediately lheard totally theatricale experienced.It'stotally mesmerized me in sounds. In this price unbelievable soundquality. That's why this TANCHJIM Bunny Type-C DSP is more value than itsprice. Thanks once again to Pritam ji for suggestingme so wonderful IEM.
I herd of them and brought them was concerned but the audiostore team was gental and the quality of product was superior
Sound quality is very very neat and clean and in depth. Best purchase ever.
It's an amazingproductforthe price
I purchased these during christmas- and my initial impressions were that these were packaged well, and felt very premium in hand, except for the cable.
The bazz is very lacking, and the iems are unusable without tuning. After tuning these sound full, and have beautiful clarity. Definitely recommend if you can tune them. Also very good for video editors and others who need stock audio
It sounds wonderful 👍
I am very satisfied with my purchase and currently enjoying hi-res audio with my iem. Best looking and build quality is also good under 1K
