The rating system is like having strict parents looking at your grades in school. If you get a perfect score they are simply content. Anything less than perfect and you have some explaining to do.
I absolutely agree with the statement that tastes in IEMs might differ from person to person and we can all be adult about it, … since it would ofc be wrong to badmouth someones’s trash taste.
Who are we to criticize people who throw their money away on trash like Beats, Bose, or Skullcandy? Maybe they enjoy throwing money away and listening to trash.

Came here from the snippet in the newer "unboxing" (~nugget~ IEM bag) video to see if anyone thought the same, was not disappointed (timestamp is 4:53 btw :P)
You're definitely one of the audiophiles I really take with high regard and right on time as I buy a sub-$100 iem again. Excited to test out my T3+ when it comes!
The absolute nightmare you had to go through is such a hard thing I have literally cried, how could you not have PTSD, it's just impossible. Great job surviving
Love that you are back Crin! Since you like the fight in the sub 100 dollar IEM category so much, why not do a battle/comparison with the best in that class? So that we may have an answer to the Aria. Keep up the awesome vids!
Hey I so glad I finally found your new channel and wanted to tell you that I'm happily listening to this through my "new" kz crns like I said I must say while I'm not an audiophile by any means I love the sound
Finally, a new upload from crin! It was nice to hear your impressions of the Shuoer S12 and Dunu Titan S. There's a lot of new IEMS with potential, I kind of regret buying the ThieAudio L2. I do not regret buying my CRN though. They sound pretty good with EQ and a change of tips. :)
I just ordered my first pair of "real" IEMs, the KZ CRNs, previously I have only had cell phone provided ear buds or gas station specials, and I made sure to do it through your site. Good luck with both the reboot and getting your Google account reclaimed.
I enjoy the format. Peoples facial expressions are often fun to watch and this is no exception. More important, I appreciate a quick down and dirty review. This gives people a quick and early taste of a lot of gear, which is great and is all you need sometimes. I don’t need a 10 minute review of a garbage or mediocre sound recreating device but this give some insight into what is going on with those items.
I’m psyched for my Titan S to arrive in the mail soon. Glad to know you got a positive first impression of it! I thought about the aria but went with the titan s instead.
Love it as usual Crin, I was one of the people who thought the last unboxing/first impressions video was too informative (after all as you said these are FIRST impressions, so might as well go for the entertainment value no?), and as someone else has said, glad to see you recovering from your other channel's fate (my condolences). I do have a question though, just curious what motivates you to collaborate with another iem brand? I mean as in what gave you the idea with this iem in particular, and why not work with one of your best ranked iems to make it even better?
Hey Crin, excellent video as always! Is there any list of songs You test headphones with? I think covering your test-tracks could be a nice idea for a future video :)
Can't believe the results with the Tripowin Lea for only...US$26 !! Another winner well under the $100 mark. Thoroughly pleased with this recent purchase.
Your new channel is gonna be fine. This one is great so far just 9m in. You and giz got me to just order the t3+. I didn't know that and the lea was so new, I got the lea a week ago kind of on a whim. EQ'ed, I sometimes enjoy it more than my timeless. I am just blown away by the price. Everyone should buy it! Was curious what first impression rating you'd give, and surprised by the 5/5! Oh, and it's def under $100. ;)
@@Katomatic For that, aria and t3+ are better. Overall the aria and t3+ are a half grade or so above the lea imo. If tonality is more important and instrument separation and imaging not as much, then the lea could even be better, though. It's just crazy being able to compare a $26 iem to the sub $100 killers like the t3+ and aria. At times I still prefer the lea over the aria. The t3+ isn't really my thing for tonality, but technically it's great, better than aria imo. I'm going to throw out my favorite right now for sub $100, the tanya, another $26ish iem. Michael Bruce, an iem youtuber, approved. Crin rates it C+, but man, I super strongly disagree!
@@why_tho_ Not bad for the price. The cable is cheap garbage, so I bought the Tripowin Zonie to replace it. I have fitment issues with the ear tips as I'm between a medium and small ear canal. The build quality of the iems themselves is excellent. when you click them together they sound like marbles hitting, no idea what the material they are made from, but they should be hard-wearing. For the price, these sound great. A nice flat sound signature, which is always my preference. Your mileage may vary.
I've been hoping someone would cover the Veedix Strings series for a while, though I do think their Silver Strings would be more my speed in terms of sound profile. Regardless, hard to fault the aesthetic on that set (unless you just don't like any branding whatsoever on your stuff.) A shame they don't inspire a more enthusiastic response from you, but it is what it is. They're prettier than they sound. Also, I totally love these rough and dirty impression videos. If you've got the time an inclination I'd love to see more of them.
Love your stuff Crin...I’ve been using my CRNs 75% of the time the rest of the time I use all my other IEMs and TWSs to kinda train my ears for the differences in tunings and different sound qualities and aspects...I did however get the LEAs and they are my 2nd favs now...I also got the AKGs and they are me second favs of TWSs...Status Between Pros are my #1....anyway I love your stuff and thank you for all that you do in the name of audio and sound.... p.s. if you know where I can get some Moondrop Crescents I would greatly appreciate pointing me in the right direction (I know you know the right people wink wink jk).... Much Love, Many Blessings, and Much More Success my friend.....
Something you might want to be cautious of with your scale is quotable "5/5.." - Crinacle+ If you think that manufacturers, especially offbrand IEM ones, won't sink that low... :P
Congrats you appeared on my home page! You know what that means, the algorithm is again with you! You should try to make some mainstream videos, like "best TWS of 2021" or something like that :)
QKZ's ZXN looks exactly like KZ's ZS10 Pro - it even has the same configuration; the ZXN is way cheaper though - that being said, idk about the tuning of either of the two.
I was doubting if i should get the t3 plus or the dunus, but after seeing the graph and your first impressions i just thought that the t3 would be better for my taste
While it is a novelty to get reviewer first reactions, the content I come here for is seeing Crin disrespectfully toss the products boxes. 5/5, quality content.
Since you already measured the IEMs when you try them, could you blow up the 1/5s? Dankpods style That'd be fun Doubt manufacturers would be fans though
12:06 "Let's put the price up, and let the audience react to how I should have reacted to this" I don't know about you, reader, but I was absolutely horrified. $290 for Crin to just say "Meh"?!
@@Weareonenation303 I mean the QKZs look like they have the same frequency response as all the KZs Crinacle has ever reviewed (Probably because they use exactly the same drivers lol) so probably a bit better than D, maybe C- or D+.
Fiio FH3, Moondrop Aria, Kz Zs10 Pro, Tin T2, Blon BL03 and finally Tin T3 Plus. I tried a lot to find best ones for my taste and my top picks are T3 Plus and Blon BL03 over all the others without a doubt! If you reading this, and searching for an iem, just buy BL03 or T3 Plus if they are in your budget and don't look for anything else if you are looking for some decent technicalities with best possible natural timbre and tuning. I'm a guy who prefer natural timbre and good forward but not shouty or aggressive vocals on an iem/headphone. My favorite/endgame headphone is HD600, so you can say technical performance is not my first priority for sure. My experiences are; FH3 is muddy, lacks energy in vocals, too much bass and midbass which kills rest of the spectrum. Has great micro details but resolution is somewhat meh, ok for the price, nothing amazing. Also it has the worst driver-flex i ever experienced in my life with iems... It has soo thin diaphgram and always clicks whenever i put them in my ears or even just move my jaw... it feels like it's gonna crack at some point, so i sold it. Zs10 Pro; do i need to explain how bad is the timbre and tonality on that thing?... Tin T2; it has so much hype on the forums but it doesn't have anything special for the price imo. It has midbass bloat and lacks energy in vocals. eq helps a bit. it's so bright sounding and vocals are bright too but somewhat especially the female vocals are still laid back while being bright... Vocals and some mid area are very recessed and sounds very far behind from you. Treble region is peaky and not so refined so it gives some fatigue after some time even on very low volumes. (i always listen my iems at low/moderate volumes btw) It doesn't have good micro-details, the bright presentation makes some fake detail resolving sound like the zs10 pros but micro details are faaaar better on T3 Plus for example. Resolution is at the same level (or a bit worse) than Blon BL03. Soundstage is wider than BL03 but has less depth and height for sure so i always prefer to listen the BL03 which has more 3D stage. Moondrop Aria; very well tuned but has big dip and peak after 10khz and it irritates me. The worst thing about the aria is while it has decent technicalities for the price, it's midrange is very thin and unnatural sounding. Can get a bit shouty at times, not as bad as on the zs10 pro for sure but i still prefer way more balanced and proper sounding t3 plus's midrange over the aria. Comfort is best on BL03 and T3 Plus for my kinda small/average sized ears. Kz is ok but not the best either. Aria is too big for my ears and not comfortable as others, i have to keep adjusting them every minute. Just because of it's thin and unnatural midrange and bad comfort, i'm gonna sell them. T2 is just doesn't fits in ear. it just hangs at the entrance of the ear canal and i couldn't get good and deep fit with it... FH3 was very comfortable and it was the most sturdy one in the ear, it was staying in the ear so well with it's good (but bit tangly) stock cables but in the end, the driver-flex make it feel really bad and unreliable for longevity. TL;DR, Buy T3 Plus if you gonna spend around 50-70. Buy BL03 if you want something for around 25-30. Of course, everyone can prefer different sound presentations but i would still recommend these iems. at least get these two before spending on something else while buying dozens of iem for trying to find the best one, just my thoughts...
@@CassioHungria85 Highly recommend you to listen yourself, check out the sound demos on Dan's Audio Reviews channel. You can check the Kz Zex Pro sound demo video for comparison between the budget ones like blon bl03, mele and t3 plus. He is doing the best iem sound demos on youtube i ever came across to this day, he also has some headphone demos and comparisons too, like hd600, 650, 6xx, 660s and 800s. Of course, the raw technicalities cannot be heard from a youtube video but the tonal differences, the tuning differences, timbre of the drivers are very well reproduced so i can confirm all the iems i have is sounds more-less the same on his demos. He's doing very helpful videos and deserves much more! as i said, his sound demo video of the kz zex pro is more than 1 hour long comparison between the iems, respect...
Already have FH3, zs10 pros, and just ordered my BL03s, and I'm not worried about "retiring" any of them, I'll just switch between them at a whim, why? Because variaty of sound types will keep them "fun" for their own reasons when I can compair them to eachother, and I deffinitly plan to get more over time to build my collection, because a collection I can use and enjoy everyday is so much more fun, my ideal next addition is the OH10s, though some in the video here are tempting too
@@UNSCPILOT Yep, some of us will prefer to have at least three or more iem and keep changing them to listen with different signatures. But i'm simply not. i prefer to have one good iem as daily and can be able to listen everything with it. a good iem should do everything good, and be comfortable at least. i'd like to use my daily iem to listening to music and also for gaming, watching movie/youtube/twitch too for example. My brain/ear loves to hear natural sounding timbre so the technical performance can't get me any fun or pure enjoyment. Naturalness of the vocals, instruments and overall presentation is way more important to get a "balanced and neutral" sound in my opinion. Also, 'neutral' doesn't have to mean "flat fr curve when compansated". It just has to sound natural and balanced. Highs has to be non fatiguing and mids should sound detailed but natural too. Bass is just mostly personal preference because i'm in love with my blon 03s because of it's slow but natural decay/transient... Unlike most people, i'm in love with it's midbass bleed because it gives the song a soul and liveliness... it's a personel subjective preference of course but i love it and that's the important thing in the end, how you want to hear it?. doesn't have to have ultimate levels of technicalities or micro-details. again like the natural sounding "legendary" HD600s.... Zeos said that once in his Blon review, "i'd prefer the Blon BL03s over the HD800s. They are just better." :)
Hi. I know you did make already a video about best gaming headphones/headsets , but I would like to know what wireless headphones or headsets has best sound quality for gaming. and ofc low latency.
Could you make an introductory/beginner guide to being an audiophile? I enjoy the content, but it feels like I'm watching someone sample wine. The personality is why I'll stay.
Nice review..What is the brand of the mouse/mic/speakers that you using in your setup?Which do you preference use in outside TWS IEM OR Wired IEM Earphones?✌✌✌✌💯💯💯💯💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥👏👏👏👏
The T2+ and the T4 are B- on your list , so I expect that the T3+ should sit between B and A- since they are better than the T2+ and noticeably better than the T4.

Can get a bit shouty at times, not as bad as on the zs10 pro for sure but i still prefer way more balanced and proper sounding t3 plus's midrange over the aria. Comfort is best on BL03 and T3 Plus for my kinda small/average sized ears. Kz is ok but not the best either. Aria is too big for my ears and not comfortable as others, i have to keep adjusting them every minute. Just because of it's thin and unnatural midrange and bad comfort, i'm gonna sell them. T2 is just doesn't fits in ear. it just hangs at the entrance of the ear canal and i couldn't get good and deep fit with it... FH3 was very comfortable and it was the most sturdy one in the ear, it was staying in the ear so well with it's good (but bit tangly) stock cables but in the end, the driver-flex make it feel really bad and unreliable for longevity. TL;DR, Buy T3 Plus if you gonna spend around 50-70. Buy BL03 if you want something for around 25-30. Of course, everyone can prefer different sound presentations but i would still recommend these iems. at least get these two before spending on something else while buying dozens of iem for trying to find the best one, just my thoughts...
Fantastic. Awesome. Wonderful. Thank you. How about tripowin vs t3 plus?
@@CassioHungria85 Highly recommend you to listen yourself, check out the sound demos on Dan's Audio Reviews channel. You can check the Kz Zex Pro sound demo video for comparison between the budget ones like blon bl03, mele and t3 plus. He is doing the best iem sound demos on youtube i ever came across to this day, he also has some headphone demos and comparisons too, like hd600, 650, 6xx, 660s and 800s. Of course, the raw technicalities cannot be heard from a youtube video but the tonal differences, the tuning differences, timbre of the drivers are very well reproduced so i can confirm all the iems i have is sounds more-less the same on his demos. He's doing very helpful videos and deserves much more! as i said, his sound demo video of the kz zex pro is more than 1 hour long comparison between the iems, respect...
Already have FH3, zs10 pros, and just ordered my BL03s, and I'm not worried about "retiring" any of them, I'll just switch between them at a whim, why? Because variaty of sound types will keep them "fun" for their own reasons when I can compair them to eachother, and I deffinitly plan to get more over time to build my collection, because a collection I can use and enjoy everyday is so much more fun, my ideal next addition is the OH10s, though some in the video here are tempting too
I am wondering if Tripowin Olina would be a so much better choice vs T3 plus
@@UNSCPILOT Yep, some of us will prefer to have at least three or more iem and keep changing them to listen with different signatures. But i'm simply not. i prefer to have one good iem as daily and can be able to listen everything with it. a good iem should do everything good, and be comfortable at least. i'd like to use my daily iem to listening to music and also for gaming, watching movie/youtube/twitch too for example. My brain/ear loves to hear natural sounding timbre so the technical performance can't get me any fun or pure enjoyment. Naturalness of the vocals, instruments and overall presentation is way more important to get a "balanced and neutral" sound in my opinion. Also, 'neutral' doesn't have to mean "flat fr curve when compansated". It just has to sound natural and balanced. Highs has to be non fatiguing and mids should sound detailed but natural too. Bass is just mostly personal preference because i'm in love with my blon 03s because of it's slow but natural decay/transient... Unlike most people, i'm in love with it's midbass bleed because it gives the song a soul and liveliness... it's a personel subjective preference of course but i love it and that's the important thing in the end, how you want to hear it?. doesn't have to have ultimate levels of technicalities or micro-details. again like the natural sounding "legendary" HD600s.... Zeos said that once in his Blon review, "i'd prefer the Blon BL03s over the HD800s. They are just better." :)
My moondrop variations arrive today. Excited AF
Jealous.

Great format.

Can't wait for the lea review
Hey, what song(s) are the first ones you listen to for a test? Would be interesting to learn that.
POG new Crinacle+ Vid
Hi. I know you did make already a video about best gaming headphones/headsets , but I would like to know what wireless headphones or headsets has best sound quality for gaming. and ofc low latency.
Could you make an introductory/beginner guide to being an audiophile? I enjoy the content, but it feels like I'm watching someone sample wine. The personality is why I'll stay.
Nice review..What is the brand of the mouse/mic/speakers that you using in your setup?Which do you preference use in outside TWS IEM OR Wired IEM Earphones?✌✌✌✌💯💯💯💯💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥👏👏👏👏
Hey, can you give advice and links on buying IEM cables??? Like, ones with mics?? For the A4000 or Moondrop Aria???
🌴
what do you listen to when you do these first reactions do you listen to the same thing for everything or do you just listen to whatever
Slight channel imbalance is because fitting or driver issue or my ear hearing issue?
Crin pls measure Shure SRH440A and SRH840A thanks
I wonder how the Lea stacks up to the Aria.
So you took my advice, went for a walk. Good to see you out of your slump. Cheers!
Shuoer 12or tinhifi p1 plus and 7 hertz timeless, where is the best details?
The T2+ and the T4 are B- on your list , so I expect that the T3+ should sit between B and A- since they are better than the T2+ and noticeably better than the T4.
regardless of its price, which one better between Lea and titan?
Hearing someone calmly say "Trying to identify the good shit, the good good" is awesome. 4:20
i NEED your opinion rn, under $200, is there anything "objectively" better than the timeless 7hz?
I wonder what his 3 is compared to the earphones you used to get with like iPhones and Samsung AKGs
Yay, another 20 min Crinacle video
Just curious what you're listening to when you test them?
hey crinacle, just got the KZ x Crinacle ZexPro can't wait to try them out!
Thanks Crin for this entertaining and informative video :) hope you'll recollect all your subscribers on this new channel ;)
