never ever listen to fucking iemg. the CRAs are trash and so are the ER2s. you are all fucking retarded

The only valuable IEM in the Hall of fame is the Blessing 2, even though it has a horrible fit. Everything else which is usually recommended here is shit.

What IEM do you guys think is a good upgrade from the quarks? I like the sound but the cable noise is a bit annoying.

Moondrop KATO.

A bit over my budget, i was thinking of getting the KZxCRN but i read that the treble is painful without eq.

Etymotic ER2SE

go back to discord tranny

right back at you untrained listener scum
