well yeah duh if you get used to a tuning that bassy it will mess with how you hear other IEMs, if you listen to something else for a long time and you go back to it it will feel bassier because you're unused to that sound at that point.
visited fatfreq in singapore a few weeks back, was attended by passionate staff that made my experience there unforgettable. Had a little special tour of the production facility too which was in the rooms right beside the showfloor. Walked away with a Scarlet mini package, enjoying it since! Defo worth it🙌
Bought the Scarlets after 10mins of listening at CanJam. Was debating between the MM and the SM but had to decide fast as they were down to the last sets… Their booth was crowded af… Truly an interesting time for us Bassheads!
Basshead stonks just keep rising! My Scarlet Mini's are my endgame IEMs for the time being. The chase for perfectly accurate sound reproduction is a fool's errand.
Scarlet mini is the absolute king for EDM and RnB tracks. Blind bought after HBB’s review a few months back. My ears are blessed… now thinking of upgrading to the Grand Maestro, please do a review of it!
I think the drumming community was the one who asked for more bass. It's incredible how you cannot hear the bass drum in a IEM while playing live, instead, they have to use a drum throne thumper, to get that feedback.
I recently got my custom Grand Maestro and I don't know if I ever need to get another iem. Being able to switch between 4 tunings ranging from neutral with a mild bass boost to varying degrees of U and V shaped just kind of makes my whole iem collection irrelevant.
@@youzone8223 oh nice!! then the gm becomes a contender for my next set between the pmg apx/qdc emperor/canpur cp622b tbh when i first put them in my ear and noticed the square switch i thought it would’ve been a no brainer to recess that or at least make it round so it doesn’t dig in as much, glad they changed it.
I wasn't sure how could sustain the content but you somehow did. Looking forward to more videos especially since they seem to be going in interesting directions
Thank you for the great review!! I hope this 10 mins video of expert opinion’s on IEMs is enough to convince my parents to buy me, and hopefully them too, another set of their IEMs. I personally own a pair of Scarlet Mini and will often wear it while studying for exams. Imho, the bass provides a non-fatiguing sound and never fails to release neurotransmitter dopamine and teleport me to another realm which my brain then ingest information from these sound waves. Nonetheless, I pass with flying colors. Will be heading to their showroom to try more other IEMs soon!
Ordered the mini from Bloom audio and I am absolutely loving this iem. They have a perfect fit in my ears. The bass is clean and impactful. The mids are recessed but the highs are tastefully presented. Very fun for bass centered music. Fulfilling my bass head desires.
Have you tried the Ziigaat Doscinco? If so, how does it compare to the FATFreq offerings? In terms of sub bass and mid bass clarity? Also, how does it compare over all? TIA
Read many reviews and comments saying Fatfreq is good in bass, but very few compare Fatfreq with other IEMs whose are also good in bass, e.g. Madoo Typ512, Empire Ears Legend X, ... really interest to know.
Looking for some experience comparisons out of curiosity: How do these FatFreqs compare to the OG Singapore bass cannon, the Jaben Hippo VB?? I need to get my Hippo VBs fixed, recabled somehow here in HK.... And wait! I might not be following Crin as closely as I should these days, but what's this nonsense about retiring from IEM reviews???!?!?! SAY IT AIN'T SO BRO
Actually watching the video I wonder where yong from sgaudiohive slides into the history for iem repair for singapore if you don't mind answering that question
@@crin Looking forward to it and how you would spin that video if ever comes to being! He is great and it is always interesting to talk to him and watch him do his work
what would you guys suggest moving up to after the simgot em6l i feel like theres not enough punch or rumble i love the em6l just i feel like its a step up from the hexas neutrality and more of a harmon curve and i felt thats gonna be enough but i need something else for listening to kavinsky the pucnh and rumble i got from the kz zs 10 pro ( and i know people will hate me for liking it)i kinda miss it sometimes and i ordered the kz zs10 pro 2 just because of that feeling but i am open for sugestions i am kinda lost now i feel like the last 3 months i learned so much just because i thought iems are cool and now i am too deep so if anyone has good sugestions i am listening
Whatever FatFreq is cooking up next with the bass cannons, get a pair into the hands of Dank Pods. I also hope the boys get into making a proper set of cans, imagine Skullcandy's levels of stupid amounts of bass except done properly.
Listening to this video with my Maestro Mini. A decent IEM, but definitely not worth the price. I'd love to see if they fixed the Mini Flaws in the newest Scarlet.
Would you recommend them for a drummer wanting to hear their kick better at a gig? Or is the bass boost in a lower frequency range than the average kick drum peak?
Hey, im wanting to try out IEMs for the first time but i want them to be good for both gaming and music. What ones would be the best, preferably under $200.
It's obviously not a question of tuning. This performance requires choosing specific drivers and designing a specific shell. It's not budget. Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red is probably the best that can be done for cheap at the moment.
Seems like it's very hard to make a PROPER basshead IEM. If you look at all the real basshead IEMs such as the Fatfreq MM, Scarlet Mini, Metalure Wave, Symphonium Titan, Fir Audio Xenon 6, etc., they're all super expensive. If it was that easy to make a real budget basshead IEM somebody would have done it already haha.
Crin tuned the Dusk and you heard what he feels about bass. I’ve got both. The Scarlet Minis are like crack cocaine, theres no stopping once you start. My test tracks sounded awful but put on EDM (Chase & Status) and wow. Enjoying NIN’s The Downward Spiral more now than back in the day,
i admire fatfreq, but i dont think i can ever buy one of their iems cos if i eq even close to as much subbass it rumbles my inner ear too much and makes me *actually* nauseas.
@@Doobysco0 But 2dB of bass though 🤪. He doesn't show frequency response graphs or talk about sound signature or compares performance to other products around that price point does he.? Side Salad Audio does all that in about 5 minutes. True TLDR. Also, if you REALLY want to nerd out there's No Theme Reviews. Zeos can be fun to listen to though...sometimes.
Proud owner of the Maestro Mini! Been my daily driver ever since, so much bass that now every other IEM i try sounds flat 😂

@@DANKKrish Brother, do you think this man spent 500 dollars on IEM's and doesn't know this? Read the room LOL
@@TheRuckus13 some people want to sound smart so bad they dont even care who they are saying it to LOL
I got them as well. Paired with a btr7. Basshead goals are never really achieved, but dammed if they don't absolutely pound
those are not bass cannons, those are bass nukes

I have both the Scarlett Mini and the Grand Maestro. Brilliant IEMs. 👍🏼
Which one you prefer honestly???
Love it! I laughed at CanJam NYC when I tried it, and then walked away buying the Grand Maestro.
Own a Scarlet mini personally and believe me when i say this… that thing RUMBLES

Crin, this is great!! My Maestro Mini are on their way now!
Love my custom Maesto Se. It's like a little subwoofer system in your ears. Closest thing to car audio in the headphone industry!
I recently got my custom Grand Maestro and I don't know if I ever need to get another iem. Being able to switch between 4 tunings ranging from neutral with a mild bass boost to varying degrees of U and V shaped just kind of makes my whole iem collection irrelevant.
i really enjoyed the gm! but the vocal switch digs into my ears, does the custom version get rid of that some how?
They recessed the entire vocal switch in the latest version, it is now almost level with the shell. You could still flick them while listening.
How is the fit? I notice the nozzles are very long, and so I'm wondering if the deep insertion would be uncomfortable.

Scarlett Mini has the basshead heavyweight belt, nothing out there can beat it.
When did you retire from IEM reviews?
Yeah WTF?
IIRC he announced that he retired from IEM reviews a couple videos ago. He's not been doing reviews for quite a long while.
When he gave a break to his collaborations
He has enough money from his "not selling you these iems" selling videos
I want to try these so dang bad…
Me too. I think I'll be buying the Scarlet Mini around the end of the year. I've had the Meteor for a little while now and really loving them. ♥️
@@_-Z- yeah, if I can find a Canadian scarlet mini to borrow that’d be awesome
Tried the Scarlett mini the other day.. bloody power! The folks there were so nice as well.
I want to see more of this episodes
Now this is something I can like it.
Maybe crin could make an iem around the world project,like trying iems from different countries.
I love these type of iem though, it's just pure fun especially showing it to your friends.
Crin, what are your daily driver IEMs???? That would be a nice video idea!
Dusk. Not kidding.
We need reviews of the other two series! The musician series looks like they would be great for regular people too.
Nice! Looking forward to more local coverage.
Babe wake up, new Samsung Ear Buds just dropped.
Im still trying to choose between maestro mini and scarlet mini
And that HBB Collab whenever it happens lol
Is there a video or post someone can link me to where crinacle explains why he is no longer reviewing IEMs?
These IEMs should be absolutely perfect for movies!
I'll be passing by in late September from London... Fatnfreqs will be the first thing on my audition list
Man I really want to try the Scarlet Mini
It has been added to my list of things I would like to try in my life
Maybe I should go check out iems next time I’m going to Singapore
The fatfreq maestro mini is actually pretty close to my preference, which has a little more mid bass and less high frequency. Lol😂
I've been waiting so long for your take and review since hearing them at canjam.
gotta support our local bois
Have you tried the Ziigaat Doscinco? If so, how does it compare to the FATFreq offerings? In terms of sub bass and mid bass clarity? Also, how does it compare over all?

I can't wait to see what else Fatfreq has down the road for us.

Maestro Mini is amazing!
I feel I’ve gotten too desensitized to the Scarlet, and now I need yet moar bass.
can we see another singaporean brands featured in another video? seems interesting
The best ones are Symphonium/Nightjar/Subtonic which are all sister companies!
Would you recommend them for a drummer wanting to hear their kick better at a gig? Or is the bass boost in a lower frequency range than the average kick drum peak?
Do you have any plans to review the Turtle Beach Atlas Air? First open back wireless gaming headset.
Can you do your headphone n inear recomendation for something around 350-400$ plz
could u review the SENNHEISER HD490 pro?
Maestro SE is the best set I have heard yet, something special.
Better than the Scarlet in terms of bass ?
@@ElNINETEENTH Have not tried Scarlet, but I am sure Scarlet would be more muddy, as I did not like even regular Mini compared next to Maestro SE.
Maestro mini will be my endgame ❤

I said no more IEMs yet already have the site open to buy the Scarlet Mini
Wait, Crin retired from reviews?
PLEASE tune a budget IEM similar to fatfreqs. Its gonna sale like hot cakes. All of the bassy budget IEMs in the market right now are bloated bs
HBB's QKZ collabs are good bassy sets
@@chrisk3127Is definitely no Scarlet Mini for those who are into that however.
It's obviously not a question of tuning.
This performance requires choosing specific drivers and designing a specific shell.
It's not budget.
Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red is probably the best that can be done for cheap at the moment.
@@p_serdiuk I doubt the IEM would just tune itself by the desired FR by choosing the drivers alone...

tried both. i like the maestro mini more than the scarlet mini. sometimes too much bass is just too much LOL.
Will you be selling them on The Hangout?
I want a cheaper Scarlet Mini type signature ! Sub-bass to the heavens !
Nice vid mate
Does the scarlet mini produce more bass than the dusk bass+ mode ?
I simply love my dusk´s ❤
The dusk’s bass can never compare to the Scarlet Mini lmaooo
Crin tuned the Dusk and you heard what he feels about bass. I’ve got both. The Scarlet Minis are like crack cocaine, theres no stopping once you start. My test tracks sounded awful but put on EDM (Chase & Status) and wow. Enjoying NIN’s The Downward Spiral more now than back in the day,

Hey, crinacle
Please review Fifine H8 headphones for audiophile
Loving this series!
Great for movies. I use my truth ear zero blue for movies and to listen to my bassiest music ever.
We need neutral iems again 😭
Does the scarlet mini have as much bass as the…….SF5EB?
Can you add aful performers to the database
now we need the Austrian God, DankPods to do a Her der 6hundos vs Scarlet video
what is your opinion about the truthear nova are they good?
Would they be good for gaming?
Finally, Gandalf is dropping the secrets.
So Scarlet Mini might be the first of crin's lowkey collabs... 🤔
Would love to try them. Why do they have to be so expensive?!!
Please add the S12 to the rankings
Wait you stopped IEM reviews? 😢
What about a video of crin iem daily drivers
sinkie pwn sinkie to sinkie promote sinkie
I wanan move to SG but its so dang expensive. Love from MY btw
So, when can we expect the collab between FATfreq and Zeos where he'll add an extra 2 dB of bass...?
Zeos doesn’t know how to tune and then proceeds to unduly and misleadingly shit on other iem manufacturers to promote his product 😂
@@Doobysco0 But 2dB of bass though 🤪. He doesn't show frequency response graphs or talk about sound signature or compares performance to other products around that price point does he.?

those grand maestro modules look familiar 😏...
the 64 Audio Volür are pretty bassy too
We are an audio powerhouse? I didnt know that lol. I only know Creative is a singapore brand
Not in the mainstream audio market, but in the niche audiophile hobby. Quite a lot of boutique brands from Singapore have gained popularity recently.
Cheaper in Singapore than US?
Yes, Singapore makes everything sound better. Thank you
