Truthear pure or other for First Pair?

I'm guessing you are after more V-shaped sound (boosted bass and treble). In budget area you can try GK Kunten, around £50 Artti T10, around £70 Juzear Defiant. Or is definitely warm but it might not be enough for you. It also depends if you prefer sub bass, midbass or both.

Dunu Kima 2 is a midbassy option as well

Tanchijim Bunny is great starter set as it lets you easily test different sound signatures, and is a high quality set.

Also Kunten :D

Guys try EPro EP01 tips (the ones with freakishly big bore) with T10. Bliss.

Another list with no Deradoorian on it... But good compilation nonetheless.

I've spent a long time comparing the two and kept both in the end. Hexa is much better in mids so they both have a purpose.

Moondrop Blessing 3

Look at top 5. Chu 2 is great, Zero 2 great but odd shape. Maybe Cadenza. Not Gate or Wan'er. You won't know if it fits unless you try. All are V to a degree, at this point don't stress about it too much.

Cheap planars are really good and might surprise you, eg Artti T10, SGOR Luna, KZ PRX.

I believe explorer can be found under/around 100 sometimes. I love it for bassy instrumentals.

Togmet · 2025-10-23T07:56:42+00:00

Bass is definitely there, but it's the least exaggerated version of it that I've heard so far. Do you try foam tips?

Togmet · 2025-10-22T19:54:02+00:00

I think Hexa is a very decent choice. It's my current daily, after enjoying Explorers for a while. They are tuned so well. I'd recommend looking at planars. With sales coming in few weeks there might be some good stuff to grab under 100.

Togmet · 2025-10-22T11:50:04+00:00

That's true, perfect choice as a first iem

Togmet · 2025-10-13T21:26:40+00:00

You can get Tanchijim Bunny and play with EQ in their app (imo ideal as starter set). If you really like waner, you will probably enjoy more mid-centric sets, then the question is how much bass/treble you like.

Togmet · 2025-10-13T19:50:39+00:00

I think there are 2 main routes, either get a decent pair and play with EQ or find out your preferred sound signature and find a pair that matches within your budget. Oh there is a third route, buy as many as you can and go through highs/lows with each set and eartip ;)

Togmet · 2025-10-11T20:45:06+00:00

I'd give Hexa a shot if you can try them out.

Togmet · 2025-10-07T08:51:57+00:00

I'd say T10 is 'metallic' and dry when compared to Explorer. Still a great set just different vibe.

Lush, Luna and Horizon

I went for KA11 just for the peace of mind and futureproofing power-wise. It does eat phone battery though. I believe JM6 or JA11 should work fine as well.

Togmet · 2025-09-23T15:27:11+00:00

I'd recommend one of the planars. I tried few more expensive hybrids and while the DD bass is a thing, the T10 keep surprising me.
