Yeah I bought the XENNS TOP after seeing a review (freshreviews).
Mainly I wanted a pair of IEMs that so well in gaming and also SOUND good.
I never thought I’d ever buy IEMs over 100€ and got the Kato. Nice sounding but lacking bass and sounding a bit clinical.
Then I thought I’d never pay oder 200€ and got the Hook X.
Better in the bass department, still lacking stage but good imaging and overall tonality.
But uncomfortable, they really hurt my ears after half an hour.
So guess who never thought of paying 530€ for a pair of IEMs. And still bought them. Obviously me.
And I don’t regret it, they sound phenomenal. Really comfortable even with my smol ears and a soundstage that rivals my headphones.
I don’t have to tell you the details, they are In the review but damn those Tops are really good
Freshreviews use to be a very good reviewer. But lately, he has been turning into a Z Reviews. Every few weeks there is a new IEM that is the best in his opinion, and moves it to the top of his wall hack list.
The Vulkan was his #1 pick maybe 3 months ago. It’s about to get knocked off of his list.
Not saying that your review is bad, or that these are bad, it’s more of a rant that he has fallen down that salesman reviewer hole.
