I gave up on chi-fi. They introduce cheap iems every month. Neither me or my wallet can keep up.

Uh... You know, just that new product keeps getting pushed out doesn't mean you have to buy it all.

Thank you! I really didn’t know that

Yea, another poor soul saved from chi-fi financial ruination. It's all in a day's work!

FOMO is strong in the Chi-Fi IEM world

This weekend I came to the same conclusion after ordering my last pairs of ChiFi IEMS, call it buyers remorse. I ordered the QKZ x HBB and the Tin Hifi C2. Currently have the 7Hz Zero, CCA CRA and the Moondrop Quarks (OG, no DSP). I owned and sold KZ ZSN Pro, QKZ VK4 (non-OG) and the Moondrop Chu.
Funny thing is, that with all these ChiFi IEMs I mostly use my Final Audio E1000. Maybe I should just get the Final Audio E3000's, call it a day and forget about all of the rest :-D

That’s what I did. I now own Moondrop SSR and good old Blon bl03. They are my beater earphones. Won’t be buying them again. I use final E1k,E3k,E5k,A4k and will buy the tws and B2 soon. Final’s house sound kind of clicked with me the first time I listened to E3000

Having (and liking) the Final E1000, is the E3000 the best upgrade? How do both compare in your view?
my2dumbledores t1_j6hkhw3 wrote
No. They aren’t comparable. The e3000 is basically a e1000 with a massive sub and mid-bass boost.
It’s not an upgrade, it’s a definite side-grade.
TheReturnOfKoffietas t1_j6hnkca wrote
What would an upgrade be then for an E1000?
my2dumbledores t1_j6hxud4 wrote
Well, that depends on budget. But having said that, I’d absolutely recommend the Salnotes Zero. Next in like would likely be the Truthear Hexa.
I’d also highly recommend the Truthear Zero.
I have all of the E series Finals’ and my favourite is the E4000 by far. But I’d still recommend the Salnotes first. I know it’s cheap, but it’ll show you just how unrelated price and sound quality are.

I already have the Zeros 😁

Just wondering about the Hexa. Would they outperform my Galaxy Buds2 (not the Pro’s)
Gamergtx_260 t1_j6hyrk6 wrote
I beg to disagree. I definitely hear more details on the E3k than E1k. It’s definitely not a side grade but rather a step up but not exponentially.
Gamergtx_260 t1_j6heuv1 wrote
Yes definitely. They are even more smaller, more bassy, have more detail retrieval and have a better soundstage due to the open grill. Which also means they don’t isolate well. I often times prefer E3000 to my E5000 since the E5000 can sometimes sound very dark. But when amped correctly they do shine.
E1000s sound kind of cheap when compared directly. You get what you pay for I guess. If you don’t want bassy iem then E2000 is your bet.

Sir, you have no need to keep up. You have a need to enjoy your music and whatever working hardware you have.

And after a while there doesn't seem to be much difference between new products, either. The latest and greatest $25 IEMs eventually sound a lot like the latest and greatest $25 IEMs from the last round...
