Intro

Hi guys this is Raghav from Headphone Zone, today we're comparing the best earphones under rupees 2000 for this year. That's right we make this video every year where we look at all the best sounding earphones under rupees 2,000, compare them to one another and put out this video and I'm very excited to finally put out this year's video it's been several months in the making. Okay so last year's video looking at the best year phones under rupees 2000 was an incredible video for many reasons, one we had over 350,000 people in the last 12 months who've seen the video, it's become very very popular and I'm very very grateful to everybody who've been following us year on year, but last year we had so many incredible IEMs that I truly believed that it was one of the best collection of earphones at rupees 2,000 for everyone and the pack now is an even better sounding collection of earphones at an incredible price point of less than 2,000 rupees and I truly believe once again this year we have probably the finest earphones that you can get for a budget of less than 2,000 rupees, with each of them fit for audiophiles, artists and musicians out there and incredible in terms of value for money.

Final - E1000 & E1000C
All right so I want to start off today's video by talking about a very popular earphone from last year's video which is from Japan - the Final Audio E1000 and the E1000C. We spoke about them in last year's video as well and they're a very very popular earphone out there. For those of you who aren't familiar, Final Audio is a Japanese brand, the only Japanese brand in today's entire collection and that should really say something about these earphones. They're very very popular brand from Japan, they make some of the best sounding IEMs and Headphones at any price point - right from entry level to the absolute creme of the audiophile world. Final Audio takes audio very seriously because all the earphones sound cutting edge, they sound brilliant and they're probably at the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship and engineering. The final E1000 and E1000C are their entry level earphone offerings and they sound very very good and they're very well built, very well designed, which is why they're very popular. I have to describe them as probably the most evenly balanced earphones you will find anywhere and you'll find that the tuning is made for somebody who's just starting out their audiophile journey, so they shouldn't sound too harsh but at the same time they shouldn't sound too flat and boring, so these have just got the right amount of emphasis in the bass and they've got probably the nicest smooth treble that you'll find for any of the earphones in this segment. The E1000 is a simple earphone that doesn't come along with a microphone, a simple 3.5mm jack that plugs into your smartphone or with any portable dongle DAC that you're using. The E1000C is exactly the same but comes with the addition of a mic and a remote for you to pick up and drop calls on the go. Both the earphones are popular for not just the fact that they sound good and they're very well designed, it's also because unlike a lot of the other earphones in this segment you don't have to wear them over your ear. It's a simple straight fit that goes into your ear perpendicularly and you'll find for that reason it fits a lot of people who have relatively small ears. They're some of the smallest narrowest earphones in this price segment. A lot of women tell me that the regular earphones that we have and the different IEMs we have simply don't fit in the ear very comfortably, this fits almost everybody like a glove and the reason that this works with the final E1000 and E1000C is that they're very very lightweight earphones, that's not to say that they're badly designed, it's superbly designed, they look very well built but because of the use of a high grade plastic you'll find that they're so lightweight that you don't need your ears supporting the weight of the earphone and they go straight in.

Final - VR500
Now in this year's video we have to talk about another Final Audio earphone that takes what the E1000 did and builds on it. I'm talking about the Final Audio VR500. Now it's a very similar earphone as the final E1000 and E1000c but it's been made for one very specific application, with one very specific use case in mind and that is mobile gaming. There are a lot of people who watch our videos who are looking for the best earphones that they can get specifically for the purposes of playing video games on their mobile phones and keeping that in mind this is my number one recommendation for people who are looking to buy a earphone specifically for gaming. The Final Audio VR500 in terms of the build quality and design it's very similar to the E1000 the only difference I can see is that the E1000 comes in a beautiful matte black, this comes in a very nice matte grey. Now the VR500 has been tuned specifically for the purposes of gaming where two things have been kept in mind - first is that the sound stage is so much wider on this and it's the widest sound stage for any of the earphones that we have in this 2000 rupees list and the reason that that's important is because when you're playing games you want to be able to distinguish different elements in the game itself from different directions, you want to be able to feel immersed in it and you want to be able to have that very accurate sense of spaciousness in the game. The other thing they've done is that they've gone for a very very flat tuning. Now with a lot of gamers you tend to think that they want a very very pronounced bass, very pronounced treble but I tend to find that the best gaming earphones actually are ones which are very very flat. You don't want the bass kind of drowning out the rest of the frequencies, you don't want the bass kind of becoming a little too prominent and at the same time you don't want the treble so sharp that it causes fatigue over hours and hours of play time. The VR500 is literally perfectly flat so I don't know if you would like listening to music on these earphones but for gaming they're absolutely perfect.

V-Shaped IEMs
All right guys the next four earphones that I'm going to talk to you about in today's video are all earphones which come with a very distinct V-Shaped sound signature where both the bass and the treble are the hero and you'll find that for anybody who's starting off their audiophile journey and just want a earphone that just makes the music so much more fun and interesting to listen to, this is basically the ones that you should go for. A lot of people will simply want to be able to listen to music where the bass and the treble just sound so much more lively, so much more fun but at the same time not drowning out any of the frequencies, still giving you a relatively accurate and nuanced presentation, where when you put these earphones on and hit play on your favourite tracks you should hear things you've never heard before on the track and at the same time enjoy the way the music sounds.

KZ - ZSN Pro 2
So the first one that I have to talk about in this list is from KZ. KZ is incredibly popular right now at this price point in India for anybody who's buying their first IEM. You'll find that KZ is a boutique manufacture of in ear monitors from China and their earphones have been very well regarded as some of the best value for money earphones not just for audiophiles but also for performing artists and musicians who use these on stage to be able to listen to themselves. So KZ’s IEMs have absolutely taken the audiophile world by storm in the last few years but this year KZ has improved their product lineup even more so we've got three different KZ’s that I have to talk to you about in our best earphones under rupees 2,000. So that brings me to the first IEM from the KZ list today which is the ZSN Pro 2 for less than 2,000 rupees which I have in my hand. Now probably the most popular earphone from last year's video was the KZ ZSN Pro X and this is the direct successor to the ZSN Pro X, this is the ZSN Pro 2 and it's an improvement in virtually every way while still maintaining the house sound the sound signature that KZ is known for and for which the ZSN Pro X was so incredibly well received not just in India around the world. All right, so the first thing you should know about the KZ ZSN Pro 2 is just like its predecessor the ZSN Pro X, this represents phenomenal value for money for one very very simple reason - while most of the other earphones at this price point have one dynamic driver on each side which is what you would normally assume for any earphone at this price point - the KZ’s have two drivers on each side and that's incredible. If you think about what you're getting for the price point it's just insane, it's mind boggling to me how KZ year on year on year is able to develop products at such incredibly low price points giving us the listeners such insane value for money. Not only do you have one dynamic driver on each side which is basically focused on the mid-range and the bass, you also have a balanced armature driver which is responsible for the treble frequencies. Now having two drivers basically means that each driver is far more focused on the frequencies that it needs to reproduce and recreate giving you a far more accurate and an immersive sound signature but the way that the IEM has been tuned is also really important.
You'll find that the ZSN Pro X had a very distinct V-Shaped sound signature where the bass and the treble both were quite prominent, while at the same time being very very detailed and accurate. That continues with the ZSN Pro 2, you still have that KZ house sound signature but they made so many subtle improvements where this is just so much more of a refined sound that you would come to expect from IEMs a lot more expensive and that KZ has been able to bring that kind of sound signature for a price point of less than 2,000 rupees I think it deserves a big pat on the back. Now I think they've done this using two very simple ideas - first is they've got a much better balanced armature driver which has much lower amount of distortion, so for a lot of people who were listening to some of the KZ’s and found that at this price point they could tend to sound a little shouty, they could tend to sound a little harsh - the KZ ZSN Pro 2 solves that. It's so much cleaner, so much nicer to listen to and it still has that top end sparkle that we know and love from KZ. At the same time you'll find that the sound for me sounds so much more distinct where each of the elements sounds separated. I found that the bass was just so much more cleaner, more prominent to listen to but at the same time the treble and the mid-range felt distinct. This i believe is come because of an upgraded crossover. The crossover that they've used used on the ZSN Pro 2, it's a much nicer newer crossover that uses electronics in the earphone itself and it basically figures out what frequencies should go towards the balanced armature driver to reproduce and what frequencies should go to the dynamic driver - the end result is it quite literally feels like the base, the mid-range and the treble all of them are clean detailed and fun to listen to.

KZ - ZEX
The next earphone I want to talk to you about is the KZ ZEX which featured in last year's video as well but such a good IEM that I still believe it should be relevant for our best earphones under rupees 2000 this year as well. Now the ZEX is different from the ZSN Pro 2 in one very very small way - while both the earphones have two drivers in a hybrid configuration - the KZ ZEX has a dynamic driver for the base but the balanced armature driver on the ZSN Pro 2 has been upgraded to an electrostatic driver in the ZEX and this electrostatic driver is just tailor made for super super sharp detailed reproduction of music and the treble. The ZEX is probably the best sounding treble that you will find for any earphone in this segment where it's so airy, so sparkly and as a result so incredibly detailed. Now when we say that the KZ house sound represents a very nice V-Shaped fun sounding sound signature the ZEX has all of that but the treble because of this electrostatic driver is just so incredibly fun to listen to that I still believe that this year for a price point of rupees 2,000 the KZ ZEX is still an incredible choice for people who are looking for that hyper detail on the upper frequencies.

KZ - Castor
The third IEM from the KZ lineup again for a price of under 2,000 is the brand new KZ Castor. Now this is the latest IEM from KZ’s lineup - it's got a completely new philosophy that KZ has gone for and they've completely changed the game when it comes to what a KZ IEM represents for a price points of less than 2,000 rupees. This is also an IEM that has two drivers per side but it's not a hybrid - they've got two dynamic drivers on each side - that's incredible - we've not seen that from too many IEMs at this price point point and KZ has really stuck its neck out saying that this is an IEM that you should compare to a whole bunch of other IEMs at higher price points to pass judgment on what it's capable of doing. Now this IEM is an unapologetic bass monster. If you were to ask me which IEM out there should be my top recommendation for someone who's just looking for an extra bass sound signature but not the crappy kinds that you will find in a whole bunch of other shitty sounding IEMs. A bass monster that's clean, that's detailed, that's articulate but still incredibly fun to listen to, then that ladies and gentlemen is the KZ Castor. Now the other Innovation that KZ has done at this price point which I think is just incredible is that you now have switches on the IEM that give you the ability to change the tuning a little bit to perfect the sound signature to your preferences. On the earphone itself you have four tiny little switches which you can toggle on and off that make a difference to the way the earphones sound. Now there are two switches that are specifically meant to increase the bass level - one increases it by about one or two DBs and level two increases it by over three DBs - so the base now becomes even more prominent, even more louder, even more exaggerated. The other two switches just increase the mid-range and the lower mid-range a little bit for people who want a slightly more gradual approach to that extra bass sound signature that the KZ Castor is going for. Now KZ Castor for a price point of 2,000 rupees have done two things which I think are incredible - one of course is created a ear phone that has two dynamic drivers superbly well tuned with one very specific target audience in mind and the second is added these incredible tuning switches that you should not be able to find at earphones even twice or thrice the price. It's just insane that you're getting this for 2,000 rupees. So the KZ Castor ladies and gentlemen for this reason I think is a superb IEM for under rupees 2000 video. All right I know that all three earphones from KZ in today's video are going to be incredibly popular - the ZSN Pro2 is probably the best of all worlds - it's got a V-Shaped sound signature but it's so refined, so clean something that I've not seen from any KZ earphone in many many years. The ZEX adds that electrostatic driver for that extra Sparkle detail and just that airy sound that we love and it's there for anybody who's going to be into that kind of a sound signature and for people who want that little extra punch, that little extra bass but still the same audiophile kind of feeling then you'll find that the KZ Castor has been made for that audience with its two Dynamic drivers it gives you a superb listening experience.

Headphone Zone x FiiO - JD1
There's one more earphone that I must talk about and it's not from KZ this one is a collaboration between FiiO and us at Headphone Zone - I'm talking about the incredibly popular JD1 that we've released in collaboration here at Headphone Zone. All right guys the Headphone Zone x FiiO JD1 - this is an IEM that FiiO has made out and out for a beginner audiophile who's looking for that fun bass driven sound signature but want a very very clean sound that reproduces all the details, that you wouldn't normally hear from most other earphones at this price point and we were so happy with this particular earphone that we had to collaborate with FiiO to release this IEM out there and it's been such a smash hit ever since it's been released and the one thing that this IEM does just like some of the other earphones that I've just spoken about is the kickass bass but unlike a lot of the other KZs that I just spoke about, the treble has been just rolled off just a little bit. There's a very specific reason to that - one of the things that a lot of people don't like about the KZ is that the treble can sometimes become a little bit fatiguing especially if you've been listening to it for many many hours at a stretch. So by the time you get to your second, your third, your fifth song you all of a sudden find that your ears start getting tired from that super detailed harsh treble. This is very very common, people describe the feeling as almost having pins and needles poking into your ears. The JD1 Cools that off, it just rolls off the treble just a little bit so you still have a fun bass driven kickass sound signature that everybody loves for the punch but you don't have any of that harshness that comes from that little extra exaggerated treble that people typically associate with a V-Shaped sound signature for that reason and that reason alone the FiiO JD1 is probably the most popular earphone out there for people who want that punchy bass but don't like to have a lot of fatigue in their listing after the first few songs are over. Now that's really amazing about this IEM, which is why it's been such a successful collaboration for us here at Headphone Zone. Another things is that it comes in two versions - the standard 3.5 mm connector that you can use along with any of your phones or DACs and I use it along with the ddHiFi x Headphone Zone as DAC which is again superb way of listening to music on the go. You'll find that the DAC along with the IEM gives you the best sounding results at this price point but for people who are looking for a more convenient option without needing to get an additional device you also have a Type-C version that FiiO has made available at a marginally higher cost which comes with its own DSP chip in there. You simply plug this into the USB-C port of your smartphone and you instantly find that it works beautifully fine. It can't sound as good as a dedicated DAC of course it can't but you'll find that it's doing the job of two devices in one with very little additional cost, so for that reason it's very very very popular right now. The other thing which I thought was really cool is that the addition of this DSP or a digital signal processor that it has in the Type-C version allows you to toggle through five different sound signatures at the press of a button. You've got a vocal emphasis, you've got a V-Shaped, you've got a relatively flatter sound signature, you've got a little bit of that extra bass sound signature and you have a Harmon Target curve. For people who are just looking to explore and want a little bit of everything and want to be able to get one IEM that just allows them to start in the hobby, I can't recommend any IEM more than the Headphone Zone x FiiO JD1.

Balanced IEMs
The next four IEMs on my list are probably some of the best sounding IEMs for a balanced sound signature at this price point and you'll find that this is a little different from some of the earlier earphones that we've spoken about in the sense that they're not trying to have a party in your your head with lots of bass and lots of treble, these earphones are made to be very very accurate very nuanced with lots of detail where each instrument is represented as authentically as possible, so that when you're listening to it, it feels perfectly balanced where no one frequency is sticking out a little more than the other and all the sounds are given an even steven preference.

Moondrop - Chu II
The first earphone that I have to talk about is the Moondrop Chu II. Now when the Moondrop Chu was released almost 2 years ago, it started this entire trend of creating more and more balanced sounding earphones specifically because the way that they've been tuned was something that you had never heard at the 2,000 rupee price point. You found that these earphones created for the idea that not everyone's looking for a bass, a treble driven sound signature. There are people who quite literally want the earphones to sound as balanced and neutral as possible and the Moondrop Chu, when it released showed that it was possible for a price of less than 2,000 rupees. The Moondrop Chu II is an improvement on the Moondrop Chu in virtually every way out there and for that reason it deserves to be the first one that I talk about today. The Moondrop Chu II has so many improvements over the Chu. It's got detachable cables which the Chu did not have. So now you can always upgrade these to balanced cables or change them out you also find that they have replaceable filters so it makes it much easier to clean but the big difference between the Moondrop Chu II and the old Chu is the bass. Now for those of you who would have liked the Moondrop Chu but found that was just too flat, too boring, too neutral out there I think the Moondrop Chu II fixes that and fixes that really well. Now you'll find that this is not to say that this all of a sudden is now become a V-Shaped sound signature where the bass is quite literally just jarring and out there, it's not, it's still very very neutral, it's still very very well balanced, but just that few extra ounces of bass. I think this makes it a far more fuller sounding earphone, one that I think everyone is going to like at a price point of less than 2,000 rupees. Do keep in mind though that the Moondrop Chu II also comes with a Type-C version where you can connect it directly to your smartphone using the Type-C port, it's a little bit more expensive, just over 2,000 rupees and for that reason I think a lot of people will find that rather than getting two devices if you can get one device that helps you listen to music on the go then the Moondrop Chu II DSP version with the Type-C connector is a great pick. You shouldn't expect it to sound as good as getting yourself a dedicated DAC. I use the ddHiFi x Headphone Zone Hi-Res DAC which pairs beautifully along with the Moondrop Chu II and any other IEM out there but for people who are trying to get an all-in-one setup without needing to get two devices the Moondrop Chu II DSP is a great solution for you.

7Hz - Salnotes Zero & 7Hz x Crinacle - Zero 2
So the other earphone from last year's list which was a standout success was the 7Hz Salnotes Zero and 7Hz also has released its successor this year which is the 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2. Now one of the things that we didn't know about the 7Hz Salnotes Zero when it released last year was that this was a earphone made in collaboration with Crinacle, the very popular YouTuber that I'm sure a lot of you have watched on YouTube his videos out there. Crinacle had tuned the 7Hz Salnotes Zero with his trademark sound signature that he likes - one that is very very neutral, one that sounds very very accurate and one that i believe you should be able to get at much higher price points but made it possible at a price of less than 2,000 Rupees. This year's Zero 2 is out and out publicly a collaboration with Crinacle, so it's officially called the 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2. Now the sound signature though is again quite a bit of a departure from the old Salnotes Zero sound signature again you'll find that a lot of people sometimes found that the bass was just not enough. While it was very very detailed, while it was very very neutral it could also sometimes sound a little too flat for people getting their first earphones, so the Zero 2 again taking that feedback has increased the bass and it's even more than what you have on the Moondrop Chu II. So they've kind of taken this approach where we're going to go for a balanced sound signature but we're going to give people even more bass than what the Moondrop Chu II gives you, so this now has a quite a bit of a bass hump you'll find in the lower frequencies where it does sound full bodied, where it does sound deep and you'll find people like it for the fact that it now has the clean sound signature that you would associate from an IEM at this price point but gives you that little bit more bass than what you would normally get on a 7Hz Salnotes Zero, but for those of you who still like the sound of the old 7Hz Salnotes Zero, you've got a third IEM which I think was an absolute surprise in this year's lineup which is the brand new Truthear Gate.

Truthear - Gate
Now in last year's video I spoke about the Truthear Hola which was a brand new release at the 2000 rupees price point an IEM that absolutely everybody loved. The Truthear Hola had that very balanced sound signature with that little extra bass that we would have wanted from the Moondrop Chu or the 7Hz Salnotes Zero and for that reason people love the sound signature of the Truthear Hola and I think 7Hz and Moondrop took a cue from there and added that little extra bass in the Chu II as well as the Zero 2 but Truthear has taken a little bit of a U-turn. The Truthear Gate has lesser bass than the Truthear Hola and for that reason the sound signature of the Truthear Gate is now similar to what the 7Hz Salnotes Zero had last year. So if you're someone who loves that super clean, the super neutral sound signature that you had loved on the 7Hz Salnotes Zero last year the Truthear Gate this year is probably your best pick. As compared to the Hola, Truthear have made a lot of familiar changes out there, it's got the same design on the chassis, it's got the same high quality cable but Truthear has gone for a cheaper plastic material for the shells compared to that finish Truthear Hola. Gate has got a beautiful transparent shell which allows you to look inside and see the dynamic driver itself. They come in two colours - black and white and they both look superbly well finished, you can't tell that this is a affordable 2,000 rupees earphone from the look and feel of it and it probably has some of the best feeling cables out there for any earphone at this price point. It's so well made, it's so superbly well designed I think Truthear Gate is going to have its own niche following this year and you'll find that a lot of people who would want a more neutral sound signature will find that the Gate is probably the most neutral of any of the earphones at this price segment.

Headphone Zone x Tangzu - Wan’er S.G.
All right the fourth earphone that I have to talk about amongst the balanced options is the Tangzu Wan’er S.G. Now this is an IEM that featured on last year's list as well and the reason it's featuring in this year's list is because I truly believe that the Tangzu Wan’er is got the best of all worlds. It takes the things that we like about the Moondrop Chu II, the things we like about the Zero 2, the things we like about the Truthear Hola but kind of forms the middle path in between all of them, it's still a very very balanced sound signature you'll find that you can hear all the instruments perfectly well represented but it's got this approach where it has a little bit more bass than the Moondrop Chu II but a little less bass than the 7Hz Zero 2, so it's kind of like an in between earphone and I truly believe that, that makes it probably the best sound, the best balanced earphone amongst this lot and you'll find that it probably has some of the richest mid-range, it's got so much detail on the mid-range and the vocals that for a lot of people who are just looking for something that represents the mid-range, the vocals beautifully, the Tangzu Wan’er S.G is my number one recommendation. What I have with me today is another beautiful collaboration that we have done along with Tangzu where Tangzu created a limited edition colour which is this beautiful blue earphone that I'm holding with you which is specifically designed for the Indian audiophile community. It's the Headphone Zone Limited Edition blue colour and it's just a stunning stunning IEM to look at and to hold. It looks absolutely beautiful and it's a collaboration that we're very happy to have done simply because the Tangzu is such a popular IEM and it's beautiful to look at the Headphone Zone logo on the earphone themselves alongside Tangzu. All right so we've got four very very well balanced neutral sounding IEMs out there, something that audiophiles will all love and swear by - the Truthear Gate being the least amount of bass, the Moondrop Chu II having a little bit more bass than what the old Moondrop Chu had and as compared to the Gate just a few extra DBs of bass out there. You'll find that then you have the Headphone Zone x Tangzu Wan’er S.G. which has got a little bit more bass but also has a much richer fuller mid-range, lots of details it's a beautifully well balanced sound signature and then you have the 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2 which has got just a little bit more bass than all the other options out there so while all four of them are very very neutral and well-tuned you'll find that the differences between them are so subtle where all the manufacturers and brands seem to be taking the same feedback from customers and arriving to a middle ground which now is becoming very very competitive.

Simgot - EW100P
Another earphone that I must mention amongst our notable mentions of the best earphones under rupees 2000 is the Simgot EW100P. This is the new entrant this year, now it's a very interesting earphone to listen to because you'll find that it's neither a V-Shaped sound signature like the KZ or the FiiO, it's also not a very very neutral sound signature like the Moondrop or the 7Hz or the Tangzu, it's kind of got a very mild U-Shaped sound where the bass is just a little exaggerated and like a lot of the other Simgot’s, we find that the treble is also a little sparkly and bright. So it's kind of got a best of both if you will out there and for a lot of people who kind of don't want a very aggressive V-Shaped sound signature then the Simgot is one to go for. Now the only other IEM that I think that the Simgot EW100P is really comparable to is the Final Audio E1000 C which is also kind of going for that same beautifully balanced sound signature but the Simgot’s got a little bit more extra sharpness on the treble side of things that's kind of like the Simgot USP, where they've got this beautifully shiny sparkly treble out there and some people might find it a little too harsh but for people who don't want that aggressive V-Shaped sound that the KZs are known for, this might be one for you to go for.

Summary
We've covered so many different earphones in today's video. Believe me when I tell you this is probably the greatest collection of earphones under rupees 2,000 that we've seen in many many years. Each of these brands have been actively listening to user feedback and they've all kind of tweaked and tuned their sound signatures a little bit and improved the way that these earphones sound and they've also improved connectivity options. You're seeing so many options this year with USB-C connectors all of this I truly believe is driven by user feedback. Now the good news is that almost all the earphones are kind of becoming closer and closer and closer to each other and in that way you'll find that everybody no matter what earphone you pick is getting a much better listening experience as compared to the last year and the last few years. Well the bad news is I suppose that you have fewer earphones to shit on and fewer earphones to take a dump on but I truly believe that this is basically progressing our hobby forward where at this price point it's truly remarkable how incredible these earphones can sound. All right as usual I cannot give you one simple answer for which is the best earphone under rupees 2000 except to say that it depends entirely on what kind of sound signature you're looking for and each of these is the perfect earphone out there for somebody with a very particular taste. If you're somebody who's looking for an aggressive V-Shaped sound wth lots of bass, lots of treble, party in your head then any of the three KZs are probably the one to go for - the ZSN Pro 2, the KZ Castor for a little extra bass, the KZ ZEX for the little extra sparkle and if you don't want that harshness, you don't want that fatigue and you're looking for a little bit more detail while still having kickass bass, the Headphone Zone x FiiO JD1 hits the sweet spot right there. If you're an audiophile looking for very very neutral balanced sound signature, you're not looking for something that is very aggressive out there then the Moondrop Chu II, the Tangzu Wan’er S.G, the 7Hz Zero 2 or the Truthear Gate, all four of them hit the right spots for a very neutral balanced sound signature with slightly varying degrees of bass and detail. For me the Headphone Zone x Tangzu Wan’er S.G is probably the best of the three in terms of its sound signature and balance but people may like a little bit more or a little bit less bass in which case as well there are lots of great options and if you don't like both of these and you're looking for something in between a very V-Shaped or a very neutral sound signature then the Simgot EW100P and the Final Audio E1000 and E1000C are your two winners. The Simgot's got that little extra sparkle in detail and that little extra harshness if you will but the Final avoids that entirely giving you a fun balanced sound signature that is just beautiful and balanced for everybody out there and of course for all you gamers out there the Final Audio VR500 - the widest sound stage, the most immersive sounding IEM and perfectly neutral and balanced for gaming.

Outro
Of course I must invite all of you to come down and listen to all of these IEMs yourself right here at our experience studio in the suburbs of Mumbai. If you are in the neighbourhood, please feel free to come down and spend a few hours with us I'm sure you'll have a great time listening to all of these IEMs and comparing them. If not then we're going to be coming to a city near you, keep an eye out for a Headphone Connect event, there are shows and events happening all across the country this year and I'm sure that there's one that's happening not too far away from where you are I look forward to you coming down and sharing with me your thoughts on all of these earphones. I'm sure you're going to have a great time, thank you so much and we'll see you in next year's best earphones under rupees 2,000 video.
