TANCHJIM NORA IEM

Absolutely bang for the buck. Best beginner IEM under 2000 Rs and I am not even kidding or exaggerating.
This is my second KZ EDC pro set actually. I ordered it for my brother because I like it a lot. If you want for gaming or on limited budget, definitely buy it. It can be driven buy any normal 3.5mm device, but buy a dongle DAC if you can it will enhance your experience with cleaner sound.
Read the detailed review below.

The tuning is lot balanced with slight V shape is how everyone describes it. So far from friends, I got to try Moondrop chu II, Tangzu Wan'er SG 2, Blon bl03 I, KZ ZSN pro X and KZ EDC pro(my own) all with DAC (for first three it was with Audiocular spark). I will say I prefer EDC pro over all of these. Might sound like a madlad here preferring a 700rs IEM over ~2000 rs IEM but it's just that good.

Tuning: It comes to preference, but what's good is it is not the usual KZ like tuning, and it's V shape enough to enjoy but not too much to crush all details. It's tuning is close to moondrop chu II I would say, and Blon bl03 if you reduce sharpness of the treble. Or other way to describe would be little more bass than Tangzu Wan'er SG 2. But it does feel little sharp sometimes on highest volumes with something like trumpets playing.

Technicalities: I am a noob, yes. But from my understanding, it's very head to head with tangzu wan'er SG 2 and blon bl03 in terms of soundstage. Well, in busy tracks seperation (I listen to J-pop a lot), all of the IEMs I tested so far have failed (the best set I could experience was Fiio ft1 pro open back, so my judgement of seperation and soundstage comes according to that). And a heads up, its sensitivity is high, so it will produce hissing noise with DACs that have Amp chip with higher noise flour than it's sensitivity.

Cons:
1. It starts to struggle at higher volumes, becomes little sharp (ear piercing treble) with things like trumpet, but again you will never require higher than 60-70% in quite listening.
2. Other IEMs in under 2k range have smaller sizes, this one is just way bigger in the ears, but due to that it's a snug fit. People with smaller ears will find it way bigger.

Thanks for reading!
Also thanks for the audio store team for cooperating about the Spark DAC hissing issue even when it was clearly my mistake. It seems it's not publicly known that IEM sensitivity should be checked before buying a dongle DAC+Amp.

Great headset for comfort and neutral sound. The headband is excellent and fits my large head with no issues and the pads are isolating and comfortable too. The sound is basically neutral, the bass is present and textured but not boosted by much. Mids are spectacular and tame but not recessed at all. The treble brings the mids out even more without harshness and is pretty well extended at least to the uppertreble. Air frequencies are somewhat subdued but still not a problem for the sound. The treble is just a bit emphasized as it's oriented for mixing, so for casual listening it's a little sharp but it's my preference that way. If you're okay with a set that brings out details through Treble you'll like this.

The Fosi Audio K5 Dac is perfect for gaming enthusiasts. I use it daily with my DT 990 Pros. I received a genuine product with fast secured delivery. Thank you The Audio Store!

If you prefer neutral, natural sound (for classical, acoustic, or detailed listening), or want maximum comfort for long wear, you might want to try something lighter or more neutral-sounding.

The Audiocular Spark Hi-Res portable DAC and amp is a compact, budget-friendly device powered by the flagship CX31993 DAC chip and MAX97220 amplifier, delivering studio-quality audio with clear vocals, rich bass, and detailed highs. It provides up to 63mW power output suitable for most IEMs and headphones, improving volume levels and sound clarity significantly over phone. Its solid build quality, portability, and seamless Type-C to 3.5mm compatibility, make it on-the-go music listening experience for me. Some minor background hiss may be audible with sensitive earphones, but overall it offers excellent value for a high-resolution audio upgrade at a very affordable price. This DAC+amp is very good option to be considered under 1,000 rupees, balancing sound quality, convenience, and durability effectively

Works like a charm!

It is good for the budget

In the budget category, these offers LDAC and planar magnetic drivers for truly clean, balanced sound and a unique design. It may have less extra features than other earbuds, but its core audio quality is far better than the usual bass-heavy options.

This is a really great product and the build quality is phenomenal. Thank you guys.

Good value for budget audiophile gear.🔥🔥🔥
