The TruthEar Nova is a 5 driver hybrid that is a Harman V-Shape tuning with a twist of spicy. How does it compare to the Tanchjim Kara and the Myer Audio CKLVX-D41?

Thanks for the shout out sir! Hodgepodge indeed, decent Harman set but comes with all the drawbacks.
You're very welcome. Well deserved, love the channel content.
Sunny has good audiophile ears 😸
It sure looks pretty. Glad it sounds good too.
Thanks for always being honest, some other reviewers hyped this IEM so much.
You're welcome. Honesty is the best policy.
Happy Easter, David!
Happy Easter to you and your family 💗
Other reviewers called it mini/budget variation. After hearing this i am kind of disappointed on the opinion of other reviewers.
Thank you Dave for the honest review❤❤❤
Graphs only impressions can be spun to say the Nova is a mini Variations.
My pleasure, you're welcome.
I’m glad I went with the cklvx and em6l lol. It’s very pleasing to the eyes though, but I’m assuming it’s just another Hexa for twice the price, maybe slightly more polished depending on the tips.
Basically a glorified Hexa with slight improvement in details and resolution but is more aggressive in presentation.

I have these and they are bad - the 'nuetrality' is essentially so bad that they don't ever sound loud enough. and i know people are gonna say just turn them up - it just makes them painfully loud in return for intimacy, or hearing your music lol. hard unrecommend, the resolution is great for the price but i would rather some Sennheisers (58x jubilees or 6xx) over these, it's not something you get used to either i've been using them for over a month and they are just plainly bad even for $120
Thanks for the impressions.
Nice review and they are not for me either. I don't understand why they don't offer a 4.4 mm option on such a nice cable.
Listened to this video on a Truthear Hexa set. 😂. Keeping them. That Myer or Tansjim set seem quite good. Thinking of one of those or the AFUL Performer 5. I do want a neutral set for mixing.
Kara would be my choice for mixing between those listed.
The myer set is really good, I believe the price is going up though. It’s definitely more expensive than when I got it for $140, today I got a message “to buy it before the price increases”. It’s about $180 now, but still well worth it. Idk if I’d mix with it though, you might want to grab an aful performer 8, blessing 3, orchestra lite or softears studio 4. Those are a bit pricey though $250-$450. Edit maybe etymotic would be a good choice? Those are very neutral, but deep fitting……like violation deep lol. I have an er2xr and it sounds really nice for $80-100, and it blocks out a lot of noise. Also the ziigaat Cincotres is a nuetral bass boosted set similar to an etymotic but with more bass.
Such a shame that the NOVA looks good but its sound quality is bad. Considering to buy the CKLVX instead.
is not bad the sound quality LOL it doesnt make any sense saying it has bad sound quality , just say is not your taste of tuning please
Sharur would not be pleased with your review. 🤣 Guess Harman tuning isn’t everything, huh
"cope"
Cope
Thank you for your review... Oh well.. I'll give it a miss
My pleasure, you're welcome.
You’d probably be better off with no earhook tbh, looks like that would feel scratchy.
Absolutely 💯
I hear up to 20khz and I love Nova's treble.
I was testing other iems and I was like wait it sounds better than novas or I enjoy it more, but then I tested with other full spectrum songs and nothing compared to the nova's, so I realized I just didn't like how the other songs where engineered, cause I felt the same EQing my speakers, wich are flat, so...
Glad you the Nova. Thanks for the impressions.
