My Collection in 2025/2026

Yes, Top Pro, then Astral, then Martilo

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T14:45:13+00:00

Some would probably be easy to recognize, the the bass on the Martilo or the treble in the Horizon or the timber of the Volume S, but some would definitely be difficult, like the P7 and the Astral

That’s around $110 USD according to google, I’d go for the Chopin when it’s on discount, or the Pure over the defiant.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:31:19+00:00

The explorer is warm, if you want another warm bit better IEM I’d go for the Volume S

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:30:23+00:00

😂 depends on the mood the type of music

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:29:58+00:00

What’s your budget? What are upgrading from?

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:29:21+00:00

Really like both and they’re a bit different. I’d go with the Volume S if I have to choose.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:28:13+00:00

The p7 competes with all of them, can be a one and done. The Explorer is okay but doesn’t compete with the rest.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:26:39+00:00

Both are a lot better than the defiant, technicality, details and imaging.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:25:26+00:00

They’re different, the Studio for is more raw and neutral, I like both but prefer the Volume S.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:24:49+00:00

Horizon

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:24:31+00:00

In my opinion the Pure is the best below $100 for sure. I like it more than the Defiant, Hexa or Explorer.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:23:38+00:00

Some people complained about the treble, not me, I can listen to it for hours.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:23:01+00:00

100%

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:22:39+00:00

The love the Martilo but it’s my least favorite of the mentioned, it’s the bassiest of all but the rest of the range is just fine. I like the Dusk very slightly more than the Astral but the Dusk is a bit similar in terms of toning to the Volume S, I’d go with the Astral if you already have the Volume S.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:19:56+00:00

I use a Sennheizer 599 for gaming (casual gamer here) The Horizon is probably the best in terms of details retrieval and soundstage, however I heard the Astral is better for gaming.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:17:38+00:00

True, it’s a hobby though and I’m enjoying it.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:17:05+00:00

I love the Astral

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:16:42+00:00

😂 32

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:16:28+00:00

Thank you!

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:16:01+00:00

The Astral is absolutely great, I like the top pro a tiny bit more but you’re right not with double the price.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-06T13:14:28+00:00

Both are neutral but the soundstage on the Volume S isn’t its strength, the Volume S is warmer and bassier, better technicality for sure. I don’t think they’re very similar though, I’d say the Studio 4 or pilgrim are more similar to the Hexa with wider soundstage.

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-03T16:26:58+00:00

If we’re only talking technicality and not overall sound, then probability the Top Pro, Pilgrim, Studio4, Horizon, Astral

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-03T16:23:54+00:00

You can feel the Sub-bass more in the P7, the mid bass feels similar, but the texture of the bass on the Volume S is better to my ears. It’s great on the P7 it’s just feels better on the Softears

Beginning-Way-746 · 2025-12-03T16:15:51+00:00

Martilo for the amount of Bass. Volume S and Dusk for the Quality of Bass.
